A new coronavirus-like particle associated with diarrhea in swine

A new coronavirus-like particle associated with diarrhea in swine

M B Pensaert et al. Arch Virol. 1978.

Abstract

Coronavirus-like particles were detected by electron microscopy in the intestinal contents of pigs during a diarrhea outbreak on 4 swine breeding farms. Diarrhea was reproduced in experimental pigs with one of the isolates, designated CV777, which was found to be distinct from the 2 known porcine coronaviruses, transmissible gastroenteritis virus and hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus.
