Overview

Transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (TGEV) is a single-stranded RNA coronavirus belonging to the family Coronaviridae that causes transmissible gastroenteritis in pigs. It infects the lining of the small intestine, producing severe diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration, with particularly high mortality among newborn piglets. The virus is highly contagious and can move quickly through a herd, making it a notable cause of economic loss in swine production. Control relies on biosecurity measures, herd management, and vaccination. As one of the many members of the coronavirus family, TGEV is relevant to the broader study of coronaviruses, a group that infects a wide range of mammals and birds and includes agents responsible for both animal and human disease. Comparing the genome organization, spike-protein biology, and replication strategies of animal coronaviruses such as TGEV with those of human coronaviruses helps illuminate how this virus family causes disease and evolves. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus and the wider coronavirus family.
