Pathogenicity of 2 Porcine Deltacoronavirus Strains in Gnotobiotic Pigs (http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/21/4/14-1859)

摘要

To verify whether porcine deltacoronavirus infection induces disease, we inoculated gnotobiotic pigs with 2 virus strains (OH-FD22 and OH-FD100) identified by 2 specific reverse transcription PCRs. At 21–120 h postinoculation, pigs exhibited severe diarrhea, vomiting, fecal shedding of virus, and severe atrophic enteritis. These findings confirm that these 2 strains are enteropathogenic in pigs.
