Moderate severity may be observed in sows and gilts with no preexisting immunity, and these dams may exhibit varying combinations of anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, depression, and agalactia.

Some strains of PEDV have generally lower virulence, particularly the S-INDEL variant strain; prior infection with porcine respiratory coronavirus, a mutant of TGEV, may reduce the severity of disease after TGEV infection. Avoiding commingling of sources and ensuring that transport vehicles are thoroughly washed, disinfected, and dried before loading pigs can help reduce transmission of enteric coronaviruses.
