To detect swine enteric pathogens, real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR) was performed for 10 viral pathogens [PDCoV, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine enteric alphacoronavirus (PEAV), swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), porcine torovirus (PToV), porcine sapelovirus (PSV), group A rotavirus (RVA), group B rotavirus (RVB), group C rotavirus (RVC)] using a commercial one-step qRT–PCR kit (THUNDERBIRD™ Probe One-step qRT–PCR kit, TOYOBO, Osaka, Japan). The previously reported 10 qRT-PCR assays were performed using the target gene-specific primer and probe sets of each viral pathogen, as described in their studies [7 (link),25 (link),26 (link),27 (link),28 (link),29 (link),30 (link)]. The reaction composition and conditions were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
