Abstract
Real-time reverse transcription PCR revealed that new St-Valerien-ike porcine caliciviruses are prevalent (2.6%-80%; 23.8% overall) in finisher pigs in North Carolina. One strain, NC-WGP93C, shares 89.3%-89.7% genomic nucleotide identity with Canadian strains. Whether these viruses cause disease in pigs or humans or are of food safety concern requires further investigation.
