The granted patent US12005113B2 presents a vaccine composition designed to protect swine from porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). The composition includes an isolated PEDV encoded by specific DNA polynucleotide sequences (SEQ ID NO: 36 or SEQ ID NO: 37) and a carrier. This vaccine is formulated to provide protection against both variant and prototype strains of PEDV, effectively preventing or treating various symptoms associated with the infection. These symptoms include dehydration, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, poor lactational and reproductive performance, mortality, and weight loss. The vaccine is applicable to various swine categories, including sows, gilts, boars, hogs, and piglets, and can be administered in either a single or two-dose regimen, with a minimum effective dose of approximately 10^4 log10TCID50 per dose.

Further detailing the administration protocols, the patent specifies that in a two-dose program, the first dose should be given when piglets are between 1 to 7 days old, followed by a second dose administered at 2 to 5 weeks of age. Alternatively, the vaccine can also be effective in a single-dose program, which is recommended to be administered when piglets are between 1 to 21 days old. This innovative vaccine composition aims to enhance the health and productivity of swine by mitigating the impacts of PEDV, a significant concern in the swine industry.
