Summary Using next‐generation sequencing on vesicular swab and serum from swine from the USA exhibiting lameness and vesicles, porcine pegivirus ( PP gV) was first identified and genetically characterized in the United States. Further screening using RT ‐ PCR revealed that 24 of 159 (15.1%) serum samples were positive for PP gV. Future studies are needed to understand clinical impacts of the virus.
