Am I mistaking it with PEDV?

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    And why were they trying to do that?
  2. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    I mean, they had a virus that caused 99 percent mortality in piglets that could destroy their swine industry, so obviously it was important for them to develop DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com the reagents that they could use to develop countermeasures and vaccinate swine. The other issue, just to go on on that, you know, it's hard to imagine a better reservoir species for emerging virus than a swine. And the swine population, they have billions of swine in China, so you have this massive reservoir. And you have a virus that drops into those, and that virus can use, although not very well, it can use the human receptor for entry.

    So I've seen SADS come up a lot when people are talking about pan-corona vaccines.

    I wouldn't include it in a pan-corona vaccine because --

    Am I mistaking it with PEDV?

    It's a lower probability virus. Okay. So for a pan-coronavirus vaccine you have pan-coronavirus beta coronavirus vaccines and alpha coronavirus vaccines. So this is an alpha coronavirus. So the only thing that people have really worked on extensively are pan-beta coronavirus vaccines, focused heavily on SARS coronavirus and MERS coronavirus. So I don't imagine that that would be included in any pan-beta coronavirus vaccine. Now, for pan-alpha coronavirus vaccines, the classic human coronaviruses are 229E and LN63. SADS would be something that you might want to consider. But the fact of DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com the matter is that those viruses, in general, in Clade 1, in alpha-coronavirus group have been much less well studied. And so the threat potential and where that exists really is a guess.

    And then where does PEDV -- what is PEDV?
  8. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    What?
  9. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    P-E-D-V.
