Abstract: Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a non zoonotic viral disease of pigs, caused by a coronavirus and characterized by watery diarrhea and weight loss. The disease affects pigs of all ages, but is most severe in newborn piglets, with morbidity and mortality up to 100%. PED was described in the 70's in Europe and then outbreaks spread to all countries and became a big problem. In the 80's PED spread to the Asian countries where also caused great economic losses. The American continent was PED free until May 2013.
