a The unit of similarity for nucleotides and amino acids is percentage (%). b The deletion of 28 amino acids in the ORF1a region of the 4-2 strain was located between the aligned positions 1011 and 1038. c Strains 4-2 and CV777 belonged to the S-INDEL strain. Strain USA/Indiana/17846/2013 belonged to the non-S-INDEL PEDV strain.
