Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus (PEDv), a swine virus that can cause death in piglets, has been identified in two hog farms in North Carolina.
The virus has been rapidly spreading across several states in the US since it was first detected in the country in May. Earlier this month, the virus was detected in Arkansas, Kansas and Pennsylvania.
Previously, it was found in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
