Coinfection and nonrandom recombination drive the evolution of swine enteric coronaviruses

Coinfection with multiple viruses is a common phenomenon in clinical settings and is a crucial driver of viral evolution. Although numerous studies have demonstrated viral recombination arising from coinfections of different strains of a specific species, the role of coinfections of different species or genera during viral evolution is rarely investigated. Here, we analyzed coinfections of and recombination events between four different swine enteric coronaviruses that infect the jejunum and ileum in pigs, including porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), and swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), and a deltacoronavirus, porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV). Various coinfection patterns were observed in 4,468 fecal and intestinal tissue samples collected from pigs in a 4-year survey. PEDV/PDCoV was the most frequent coinfection. However, recombination analyses have only detected events involving PEDV/TGEV and SADS-CoV/TGEV, indicating that inter-species recombination among coronaviruses is most likely to occur within the same genus. We also analyzed recombination events within the newly identified genus Deltacoronavirus and found that sparrows have played a unique host role in the recombination history of the deltacoronaviruses. The emerging virus PDCoV, which can infect humans, has a different recombination history. In summary, our study demonstrates that swine enteric coronaviruses are a valuable model for investigating the relationship between viral coinfection and recombination, which provide new insights into both inter- and intraspecies recombination events among swine enteric coronaviruses, and extend our understanding of the relationship between coronavirus coinfection and recombination.
