The value of NGS-based applications in human medicine is well recognized, but there is a lack of tailored protocols for veterinary medicine, particularly in diverse species like pigs. The developed NGS protocol for veterinary virology showed successful applications in virus identification, characterization, and herd screening in porcine medicine, providing valuable insights in virus detection and genome sequencing.
The value of next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based applications for testing purposes in human medicine is widely recognized. Although NGS-based metagenomic screening may be of interest in veterinary medicine, in particular for intensively farmed livestock species such as pigs, there is a lack of protocols tailored to veterinary requirements, likely because of the high diversity of species and samples. Therefore, we developed an NGS-based protocol for use in veterinary virology and present here different applications in porcine medicine. To develop the protocol, each step of sample preparation was optimized using porcine samples spiked with various RNA and DNA viruses. The resulting protocol was tested with clinical samples previously confirmed to be positive for specific viruses by a diagnostic laboratory. Additionally, we validated the protocol in an NGS viral metagenomics ring trial and tested the protocol on viral multiplex reference material (NIBSC, U.K.). We applied our ViroScreen protocol successfully for 1) virus identification, 2) virus characterization, and 3) herd screening. We identified torque teno sus virus and atypical porcine pestivirus in a neurologic case, determined the full-length genome sequence of swine influenza A virus in field samples, and screened pigs using pen floor fecal samples and chewing rope liquid.
