Serum samples from 3315 pigs from 363 farms located throughout all nine Korean provinces were tested for the presence of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) antibodies using the virus neutralization test. The seroprevalence of EMCV in the total pig population was 9.1%, whereas in the herd the prevalence was 43.5%. The first two EMCVs isolated were K3 and K11; these strains were isolated in 1990 from a mummy and a stillborn fetus, respectively, suspected of having EMCV. Phylogenetic analyses of the capsid coding region and the VP3/VP1 genes using the Bayesian approach, and a neighbor-joining analysis, revealed that the EMCV strains fell into two clusters: groups 1 and 2, with two sub-clusters within group 1, group 1a and 1b. The Korean isolates belonged to the group 1a cluster, along with strains BJC3 (China), B424/90 (Greece) and BEL-2887A/91 (Belgium), whereas five strains isolated from Sus scrofa in Belgium (B279/95, B440/95), Italy (I001/96, I136/86), and Cyprus (C108/95) belonged to the group 2 cluster.
