    Snippet: Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV; Figure 1 ) causes acute outbreaks of severe diarrhea and vomiting in all ages of swine, with high morbidity (often 100%) and variable mortality (low in older pigs, but as high as 50 to 100% in young pigs). It is spread via the fecal-oral route, and laboratory testing is the only way to diagnose the virus.

    Document: Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV; Figure 1 ) causes acute outbreaks of severe diarrhea and vomiting in all ages of swine, with high morbidity (often 100%) and variable mortality (low in older pigs, but as high as 50 to 100% in young pigs). It is spread via the fecal-oral route, and laboratory testing is the only way to diagnose the virus. Even though PEDV exists in many parts of the world, the first known detection in the United States was reported in May 2013, and it remains unclear how the virus entered the country. As of 1 Nov. 2013, the virus is continuing to spread, with almost 1,000 confirmed PEDV cases in 18 states. The most current information regarding PEDV status in the US can be found at the websites for the National Pork Board (www.pork.org) and the American Association of Swine Veterinarians (www.aasv.org).
