In summary, we isolated and characterized one GETV strain from a commercial live pig vaccine produced in China. Complete genome analysis showed that GETV-V1 share high identity with GETV isolates HNJZ-S1, 14-I-605-C1 and 16-I-599, and these strains are pathogenic to pigs or horses(Nemoto et al., 2016). This study reported for the first time contamination with GETV in live attenuated PRRS vaccines in China, implying that monitoring of exogenous virus in live vaccines for pigs needs to be improved. Furthermore, we should also pay more attention to the potential public health effect of vaccines contaminated with this virus.
