Pig Virus – New Strain Of Deadly PEDv Found In America

A deadly new strain of the pig virus had been identified by researchers. The third strain of the Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus, or PEDv, has been found in a hog herd in Minnesota. The new pig virus strain is reportedly at last as severe as the initial strain which was detected in America in 2013.

PEDv strains are being tracked by the CDC. The third strain is a mutation from the original pig virus strain. A second and less virulent strain was identified earlier this year. Scientific researchers reportedly believe that the original pig virus strain likely mutated due to an increased immunity response in hog herds.
