The invention relates to the technical field of porcine 
pseudorabies viruses (PRVs) and in particular relates to a porcine PRV variant PRV-ZJ01 with collection number of CGMCCNo.8170 and an application of the porcine PRV variant PRV-ZJ01 in preparation of vaccines. The porcine PRV variant PRV-ZJ01 has the beneficial effects that a water-soluble 
inactivated vaccine is prepared by adopting a PRV-ZJ01 
variant virus solution and is subjected to a swine 
immune protection test with live vaccines of Bartha-K61, Bucharest and HB-98 strains and the results show that the 
inactivated vaccine of the ZJ01 strain has relatively high safety and has the 
immune protection efficiency obviously higher than that of 
immunity groups of the live vaccines of the Bartha-K61, Bucharest and HB-98 strains, and the live vaccines of the Bartha-K61, Bucharest and HB-98 strains can not provide full protection for the ZJ01 very virulent strain; the 
inactivated vaccine of ZJ01 has relatively good 
immune protection effects on the PRV variant and the traditional strains; infected with 10<6.0>TCID50 (
Tissue culture infectious 
dose 50) / ml 
nasal drops of the PRV-ZJ01 variant, all the 85-day-old non-immune swine can become ill and die; results prove that the 
virulence of the 
virus strain is obviously enhanced, the 
antigenicity is varied and the 
virus strain has relatively good 
immunogenicity after being inactivated and can be used for research and development of the vaccine of the 
virus strain and the 
diagnostic methods.
