ABSTRACT
Transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) is sporadic in South Korea. Since porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV) infection was identified in South Korea in 1996, the TGE infection has decreased with the PRCV occurrence. In this study, we described the sero-surveillance of TGE/PRCV infection by using a commercially available ELISA kit. A total of 1,295 sera from slaughtered pigs and 69 sera from wild boars were collected in years 2009 and 2010 throughout the country and tested for antibodies against TGE and PRCV. Although there was no clinical sign observed for TGE and vaccination had not been done for TGEV, 4.9% of sera showed positive for antibody against TGEV. Furthermore, 63.7% of finisher and 8.7% of wild boars were positive for antibody against PRCV. Our result suggests that the TGEV infection might still be present in some farms in South Korea.
