Some considerations on porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) (1/2): A look back to PEDV in Europe
The author questions whether the US virus is more virulent than the strain CV777 isolated in Europe in 1977 or whether the disease is indeed more devastating now than it was in the seventies in Europe.
Evaluation of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus transmission and the immune response in growing pigs
Homologous re-challenge 49 days post initial PEDV exposure did not result in re-infection of the pigs. This demonstrates potential for an effective PEDV vaccine.

Evaluation of time and temperature sufficient to inactivate PEDv in swine feces on metal surfaces
Holding PEDV in the presence of feces at 71°C for 10 minutes or at 20°C (room temperature) for 7 days is sufficient to inactivate the virus, preventing transmission under the conditions of this study.
