Genetic diversity and recombination analysis of NADC34-like porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome viruses

Abstract

Highlights
<ul>
<li>Recombinant variants represent a substantial proportion (56.8%) of the analyzed NADC34-like PRRSV strains.</li>
<li>12 consistent recombinant patterns (R1-R12) were defined across 176 NADC34-like whole-genome sequences.</li>
<li>Recombination hotspots in Chinese strains shifted from structural genes to ORF1a after 2020.</li>
<li>Lineage 1.8 is the primary minor parent driving NADC34-like genetic diversification.</li>
</ul>
