Abstract In 2011, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection rates rose substantially in vaccinated swine herds. To determine the distribution profile of PEDV outbreak strains, we sequenced full-length spike gene from samples 9 farms where animals exhibited severe and mortality were high. Three new variants identified.
