title: Molecular detection and genetic analysis of porcine bocavirus in Korean domestic swine herds.
abstract: Several porcine bocaviruses have been detected worldwide, and this report is the first to describe this virus in a Korean domestic swine herd. We identified porcine bocavirus in various samples, including serum, tissue, feces and saliva, which revealed that porcine bocavirus predominates in Korean domestic swine populations. The results of this study also suggested that porcine bocaviruses primarily infect weaned piglets. Phylogenetic analysis of the ORF3 gene was performed to determine the genetic relationship of the Korean strains to reference strains from other countries.
