Abstract
PRRSV and CSFV are both common infectious pathogens in porcine populations, posing significant threats to the healthy development of the porcine industry. Vaccine immunization is the main way to prevent and control these two diseases. Increasing studies have demonstrated that there is an interaction between PRRSV co-infection and CSFV vaccine immune failure. To investigate the effect of PRRSV infection on CSFV proliferation and its molecular mechanism, the proliferation dynamics of PRRSV/CSFV, the NLRP3 inflammasome components, and IL-1β expression levels were detected in PRRSV/CSFV alone- or co-infection. Subsequently, the relationship between inflammasome activation, IL-1β expression, and CSFV proliferation was analyzed through the construction of an inflammasome activation model, specific siRNA interference, and specific inhibitor treatment. The results showed that CSFV infection had a poor regulatory effect on NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-1β maturation, but PRRSV and CSFV co-infection could significantly up-regulate the expression of NLRP3 and ASC, induce Caspase-1 activation, and promote IL-1β maturation. It was further determined that NLRP3 inflammasome components played important roles in IL-1β maturation and inhibiting CSFV proliferation by PRRSV. Additional experiments indicated that PRRSV replication is essential for NLRP3 inflammasome activation, IL-1β maturation, and CSFV proliferation inhibition. More importantly, NLRP3 inflammasome activation is regulated by the TLR4-MyD88-NF-κB pathways. In conclusion, PRRSV infection induced IL-1β maturation by activating the NLRP3 inflammasome through the TLR4-MyD88-NF-κB pathways and then inhibited the proliferation of CSFV. These data further improved the theoretical basis for PRRSV inducing inflammatory factors and leading to the failure of CSFV immunization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Classical swine fever and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome have seriously affected the development of the swine breeding industry in China. Vaccine immunization remains the main way to prevent these infections. The aim of this study was to establish an optimized protocol for vaccine immunization against classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). METHODS Blood samples were collected from the anterior vena cava of pigs after immunization, and blood indices, secreted levels of specific antibodies and neutralizing antibodies associated with humoral immunity, the proliferation capacity of T lymphocytes as a measure of cellular immunity, and secreted levels of IFN-γ and TNF-α were determined. RESULTS The results showed that simultaneous immunization against CSFV and PRRSV infections induced strong and specific humoral and T-cellular immune responses, high levels of cytokine IFN-γ secretion and delayed secretion of cytokine TNF-α. Moreover, significantly higher lymphocyte percentages and red blood cell and leukocyte counts were found in the group simultaneously immunized against CSFV and PRRSV. However, no statistically significant differences were observed in hemoglobin values, neutrophil counts, and median cell percentages among the S + PRRS, PRRS-S, and S-PRRS groups. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that simultaneous immunization against CSFV and PRRSV had the advantages of inducing a rapid, enhanced, and long-lasting immune response. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the establishment of a reasonable and optimized vaccine immunization protocol against CSFV and PRRSV in combination with a variety of other vaccine inoculations.

Abstract
It is a common phenomenon that PRRSV infection can interfere with the protective efficacy of the CSFV vaccine in clinical settings, and no effective treatment is available. In our previous study, we found that PRRSV infection could inhibit the replication of CSFV-C by promoting the high expression of inflammatory cytokines. In order to further investigate whether Chinese medicine could alleviate the inhibition effect, the PAM39 cells model, which was co-infected with PRRSV and CSFV-C, was established. The effects of Chinese medicine on this co-infection model, as well as the effect of astragalus polysaccharide on the TLRs/NF-κB/TNF-α pathways, were investigated. Our results demonstrated that PAM39 cells inoculated with different pathogenic PRRSV significantly inhibited the replication of CSFV-C and up-regulated the major inflammatory mediators, including TNF-α. For the following studies, 50 µM of astragalus polysaccharide was selected from six kinds of representative Chinese medicine based on their cytotoxicity, viral titers, and inflammatory mediators. Further experiments indicated that astragalus polysaccharide could alleviate the inhibition of CSFV-C replication in the co-infection group with no influence on cell viability. In addition, astragalus polysaccharide treatment clearly reduced P65 phosphorylation and down-regulated the expression of TLR7, TLR9, and TNF-α in co-infection group, implying that the TLRs/NF-κB/TNF-α pathways may play an important role in astragalus polysaccharide's anti-inflammatory response. In conclusion, astragalus polysaccharide treatment alleviated PRRSV-mediated inhibition of CSFV-C replication via the TLRs/NF-κB/TNF-α pathways, and the molecular mechanism of PRRSV co-infection leading to the failure of CSFV vaccine immunization was partially elucidated, providing a scientific basis for effective CSF prevention and control in pig farms.

Abstract
Background African swine fever virus (ASFV), classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) have caused great economic losses to the swine industry in China. Since coinfections of ASFV, CSFV and APPV occur in certain pig herds, it is necessary to accurately and differentially detect these pathogens in field-collected samples. In this study, a one-step multiplex real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (multiplex qRT–PCR) was developed for the simultaneous and differential detection of ASFV, CSFV and APPV. Results The one-step multiplex qRT–PCR presented here was able to simultaneously detect ASFV, CSFV and APPV but could not amplify other viruses, including porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), pseudorabies virus (PRV), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), porcine parvovirus (PPV), porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine rotavirus (PRoV), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), border disease virus (BDV), bovine viral diarrhoea virus type 1 (BVDV-1), BVDV-2, etc. The limit of detection (LOD) of the assay was 2.52 × 101 copies/μL for ASFV, CSFV and APPV. A repeatability test using standard recombinant plasmids showed that the intra- and interassay coefficients of variation (CVs) were less than 2%. An assay of 509 clinical samples collected in Guangxi Province, southern China, from October 2018 to December 2020 showed that the positive rates of ASFV, CSFV and APPV were 45.58, 12.57 and 3.54%, respectively, while the coinfection rates of ASFV and CSFV, ASFV and APPV, CSFV and APPV were 4.91, 1.38, 0.98%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on the nucleotide sequences of the partial ASFV p72 gene showed that all ASFV strains from Guangxi Province belonged to genotypes I and II. Conclusion A one-step multiplex qRT–PCR with high specificity, sensitivity and repeatability was successfully developed for the simultaneous and differential detection of ASFV, CSFV and APPV.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) caused by the PRRS virus (PRRSV) is one of the most economically important diseases, that has significantly impacted the global pork industry for over three decades, since it was first recognized in the United States in the late 1980s. Attributed to the PRRSV extensive genetic and antigenic variation and rapid mutability and evolution, nearly worldwide epidemics have been sustained by a set of emerging and re-emerging virus strains. Since the first modified live virus (MLV) vaccine was commercially available, it has been widely used for more than 20 years, for preventing and controlling PRRS. On the one hand, MLV can induce a protective immune response against homologous viruses by lightening the clinical signs of pigs and reducing the virus transmission in the affected herd, as well as helping to cost-effectively increase the production performance on pig farms affected by heterologous viruses. On the other hand, MLV can still replicate in the host, inducing viremia and virus shedding, and it fails to confer sterilizing immunity against PRRSV infection, that may accelerate viral mutation or recombination to adapt the host and to escape from the immune response, raising the risk of reversion to virulence. The unsatisfied heterologous cross-protection and safety issue of MLV are two debatable characterizations, which raise the concerns that whether it is necessary or valuable to use this leaky vaccine to protect the field viruses with a high probability of being heterologous. To provide better insights into the immune protection and safety related to MLV, recent advances and opinions on PRRSV attenuation, protection efficacy, immunosuppression, recombination, and reversion to virulence are reviewed here, hoping to give a more comprehensive recognition on MLV and to motivate scientific inspiration on novel strategies and approaches of developing the next generation of PRRS vaccine.

Abstract
Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is a potentially emerging zoonotic pathogen that causes severe diarrhea in young pigs, with a risk of fatal dehydration. Its pathogenicity on neonatal piglet has been previously reported, however, it is less known if the coinfection with immunosuppressive pathogens can influence PDCoV disease manifestation. Here, a coinfection model of PDCoV and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), a global-spread immunosuppressive virus, was set to study their interaction. Weaning pigs in the coinfection group were intranasally inoculated with PRRSV NADC30-like virus and latterly orally inoculated with PDCoV at three day-post-inoculation (DPI). Unexpectedly, compared with pigs in the PDCoV single-infected group, the coinfected pigs did not show any obvious diarrhea, as PDCoV fecal shedding, average daily weight gain (ADWG), gross and microscopic lesions and PDCoV IHC scores consistently indicated that PRRSV coinfection lessened PDCoV caused diarrhea. Additionally, three proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6, which can be secreted by PRRSV infected macrophages, were detected to be highly expressed at the intestine from both PRRSV infected groups. By adding to PDCoV-infected cells, these three cytokines were further confirmed to be able to inhibit the PDCoV replication post its cellular entry. Meanwhile, the inhibition effect of the supernatant from PRRSV-infected PAMs could be obviously blocked by the antagonist of these three cytokines. In conclusion, PRRSV coinfection increased TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-6 in the microenvironment of intestines, which inhibits the PDCoV proliferation, leading to lessened severity of diarrhea. The findings provide some new insight into the pathogenesis and replication regulation of PDCoV.

Abstract
Classical swine fever (CSF) caused by the CSF virus (CSFV) is one of the most important swine diseases, resulting in huge economic losses to the pig industry worldwide. Systematic vaccination is one of the most effective strategies for the prevention and control of this disease. Two main CSFV vaccines, the modified live vaccine (MLV) and the subunit E2 vaccine, are recommended. In Taiwan, CSF cases have not been reported since 2006, although systemic vaccination has been practiced for 70 years. Here, we examined the sero-dynamics of the piglets born from sows that received either the CSFV MLV or the E2 vaccine and investigated in the field the correlation between the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) loads and levels of CSFV antibody. A total of 1398 serum samples from 42 PRRSV-positive farms were evaluated to determine the PRRSV loads by real-time PCR and to detect CSFV antibody levels by commercial ELISA. Upon comparing the two sow vaccination protocols (CSFV MLV vaccination at 4 weeks post-farrowing versus E2 vaccination at 4-5 weeks pre-farrowing), the lowest levels of CSFV antibody were found in piglets at 5-8 and 9-12 weeks of age for the MLV and E2 groups, respectively. Meanwhile, the appropriate time window for CSFV vaccination of offspring was at 5-8 and 9-12 weeks of age in the MLV and E2 groups, respectively. There was a very highly significant negative correlation between the PRRSV load and the level of CSFV antibody in the CSFV MLV vaccination group (P < 0.0001). The PRRSV detection rate in the pigs from the MLV group (27.78%) was significantly higher than that in pigs from the E2 group (21.32%) (P = 0.011). In addition, there was a significant difference (P = 0.019) in the PRRSV detection rate at 5-8 weeks of age between the MLV (42.15%) and E2 groups (29.79%). Our findings indicate that the vaccination of CSFV MLV in piglets during the PRRSV susceptibility period at 5-8 weeks of age may be overloading the piglet's immune system and should be a critical concern for industrial pork production in the field.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus associated diseases (PCVADs) are among the most important diseases affecting the worldwide swine industry. Vaccination against porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection has been utilized for disease control and effectively reduces clinical signs of PCVADs. To evaluate the efficacy of the PCV2 vaccine in field farms, we conducted a trial using conventional pigs immunized with the subunit PCV2 vaccine followed by PCV2 challenge. Immunized pigs demonstrated lower serum viral loads, less viral antigen staining in lymph nodes, and higher average daily weight gain, confirming the protective efficacy of the vaccine. However, low levels of PCV2 infection were still detected in vaccinated pigs after challenge, suggesting that the PCV2 vaccine was unable to eradicate the virus, which could lead to asymptomatic PCV2 subclinical infection (PCV2-SI) in pig farms. Additionally, PCV2 infection is a risk factor for impaired pig immune response development during the weaning to growth stages, which is a crucial period to receive vaccines against classical swine fever (CSF). Therefore, the impact of PCV2-SI or PCV2-systemic disease (PCV2-SD) on live attenuated CSF vaccine was investigated. After PCV2 challenge, there was no difference in levels of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) neutralizing antibodies (NA) between pigs with PCV2-SD and PCV2-SI, suggesting that the efficacy of CSF vaccine was compromised. Moreover, results of long-term monitoring of CSFV NA titers in PCV2-SI pigs with minimized interference by maternally-derived antibodies suggested that serum PCV2 viral loads greater than 102 copies/mL may compromise the efficacy of CSF vaccine. Overall, a conventional pig model was established to demonstrate the impaired efficacy of the subunit PCV2 vaccine and its impact on the CSF vaccine in vaccination-challenge trials. Additionally, the impaired efficacy of the PCV2 vaccine resulted in increased PCV2-SI, eventually leading to compromised the live attenuated CSF vaccine induced NA response in field farm applications.

Abstract
Porcine productive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and classical swine fever virus (CSFV) both are major pathogens of swine that pose a great threat to the Chinese pig industry. It has been found that PRRSV infection can lead to vaccination failure of CSFV C strain-derived modified live vaccine (CSFV-C) by interfering with the immune responses to the latter. To investigate whether PRRSV can suppress CSFV-C replication, we created a 3D4/21-based cell line PAM39 that is susceptible to both viruses by expressing PRRSV receptors CD163 and CD169, and then investigated their interplay under the condition of either sequential or simultaneous co-infection. The most significant suppressive effect came from the sequential infection when the cells were first infected by PRRSV and then followed by CSFV-C at an interval of 6 h. In addition, this effect was independent of PRRSV strains. Mechanistically, PRRSV induced an elevated level of a subset of pro-inflammatory cytokines, especially tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), through the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway to inhibit the replication of CSFV-C in vitro. Thus, our studies provide an alternative explanation on PRRSV-induced CSFV vaccination failure, and this has an important implication in CSF vaccination and control.

Abstract
Classical swine fever, caused by classical swine fever virus (CSFV), is a highly contagious and high-mortality viral disease, causing huge economic losses in the swine industry worldwide. CSFV non-structural protein 3 (NS3), a multifunctional protein, plays crucial roles in viral replication. However, how NS3 exactly exerts these functions is currently unknown. Here, we identified tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 5 (TRAF5) as a novel binding partner of the NS3 protein via yeast two-hybrid, co-immunoprecipitation and glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays. Furthermore, we observed that TRAF5 promoted CSFV replication in porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs). Additionally, CSFV infection or NS3 expression upregulated TRAF5 expression, implying that CSFV may exploit TRAF5 via NS3 for better growth. Moreover, CSFV infection and TRAF5 expression activated p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity, and inhibition of p38 MAPK activation by the SB203580 inhibitor suppressed CSFV replication. Notably, TRAF5 overexpression did not promote CSFV replication following inhibition of p38 MAPK activation. Our findings reveal that TRAF5 promotes CSFV replication via p38 MAPK activation. This work provides a novel insight into the role of TRAF5 in CSFV replication capacity.

The Nucleocapsid Protein and Nonstructural Protein 10 of Highly Pathogenic Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Enhance CD83 Production via NF-κB and Sp1 Signaling Pathways.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), is a panzootic disease that is one of the most economically costly diseases to the swine industry. A key aspect of PRRSV virulence is that the virus suppresses the innate immune response and induces persistent infection, although the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. The dendritic cell (DC) marker CD83 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and is associated with DC activation and immunosuppression of T cell proliferation when expressed as soluble CD83 (sCD83). In this study, we show that PRRSV infection strongly stimulates CD83 expression in porcine monocyte-derived DCs (MoDCs) and that the nucleocapsid (N) protein and nonstructural protein 10 (nsp10) of PRRSV enhance CD83 promoter activity via the NF-κB and Sp1 signaling pathways. R43A and K44A amino acid substitution mutants of the N protein suppress the N protein-mediated increase of CD83 promoter activity. Similarly, P192-5A and G214-3A mutants of nsp10 (with 5 and 3 alanine substitutions beginning at residues P192 and G214, respectively) abolish the nsp10-mediated induction of the CD83 promoter. Using reverse genetics, four mutant viruses (rR43A, rK44A, rP192-5A, and rG214-3A) and four revertants [rR43A(R), rK44A(R), rP192-5A(R), and rG214-3A(R)] were generated. Decreased induction of CD83 in MoDCs was observed after infection by mutants rR43A, rK44A, rP192-5A, and rG214-3A, in contrast to the results obtained using rR43A(R), rK44A(R), rP192-5A(R), and rG214-3A(R). These findings suggest that PRRSV N and nsp10 play important roles in modulating CD83 signaling and shed light on the mechanism by which PRRSV modulates host immunity.IMPORTANCE Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most economically costly pathogens affecting the swine industry. It is unclear how PRRSV inhibits the host's immune response and induces persistent infection. The dendritic cell (DC) marker CD83 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and has previously been associated with DC activation and immunosuppression of T cell proliferation and differentiation when expressed as soluble CD83 (sCD83). In this study, we found that PRRSV infection induces sCD83 expression in porcine MoDCs via the NF-κB and Sp1 signaling pathways. The viral nucleocapsid protein, nonstructural protein 1 (nsp1), and nsp10 were shown to enhance CD83 promoter activity. Amino acids R43 and K44 of the N protein, as well as residues 192 to 196 (P192-5) and 214 to 216 (G214-3) of nsp10, play important roles in CD83 promoter activation. These findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanism of immune suppression by PRRSV.
