Two pairs of primers were designed according to the N gene sequence of PEDV-CV777 strain in Genebank (No. AF353511). PCR amplification product of outer-primers was 1328bp, and the inter-primers amplification product was 538bp. With the primers, a nested PCR assay was established to detect PEDV. This method was sensitive and specific and could be used in PEDV diagnosis and epidemiological investigation.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the prevalence of swine Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection in Xinjiang. 813 swine serum samples collected from 1 to 12 months of age at 9 swine farms in Xinjiang region were tested by ELISA for the presence of IgG antibodies against HEV. The recombinant protein pUS166 containing region 452-617aa of the ORF2 of HEV US strain was used as coating antigen. The result showed that anti –HEV IgG were detected in 265 of 405 pigs (65.43%) in one group and 238 of 408 pigs (58.33%) in another group , and that the seropositivity rate was not related to geographic district and breeds, but differed remarkably by age, being 40% among the 1- to 3-month-old piglets, but 77.33% among ones over 3-month-old. It suggested that swine HEV was widespread in different geographic regions of XinJiang.
