Porcine enteric calicivirus (PECV) shares morphological and genetical similarities with Sapoviruses (SVs), Which are the leading, cause of epidemic, non-bacterial gastroenterius, in children worldwide. The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of PECV infection in pie farms in Korea, and to compare the evolutionary inter-relationships between Korean PECVs and other caliciviruses. Among 102 diarrhoeic faecal samples of sucking (n = 50) and weaned (n = 52) piglets from 31 different farms in Korea. five samples (4.9%) were detected positive by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (PCR). but nine (8.8%) by nested-PCR. Furthermore, we found that Korean PECVs are closely related to SVs.
