Abstract

Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) is a newly identified virus, which is associated with PDNS-like clinical signs, reproductive failure, cardiac and multiorgan inflammation. However, the genotype of PCV3 is still controversial. Here, we reconstructed the phylogenies of 194 complete coding sequences of PCV3 using five different phylogenetic methods. The results showed five trees reconstructed using different methods displayed similar phylogenies, indicating genotyping based on complete coding sequences of PCV3 is stable and accurate.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a editorial / letter, done in animal, not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
