Abstract

. GETV leads to diarrhea in piglets and dysfunction of the reproductive system in sows, with pregnant sows potentially experiencing abortion, fetal death, or weak offspring, causing a severe impact on the livestock industry and resulting in economic losses. Currently, multiple instances of cross-host transmission of GETV are occurring. There has been no systematic, comprehensive summary of the cross-species transmission characteristics of GETV. Research on the infection mechanism may be insufficient to elucidate it. Therefore, further researches are needed. And the potential vaccine for GETV treatment is still under development, even though there were some therapies to alleviate the harms that GETV brings. In this paper, the temporal and spatial distribution, disease outbreak, transmission route, cross-species transmission, and interventions of GETV are reviewed, aiming at providing a reference guide to aid public health personnel involved in GETV research and the prevention of GETV.
