title: Detection of coronavirus-like particles from mink with epizootic catarrhal gastroenteritis.
abstract: Coronavirus-like particles have been detected by electron microscopy in fecal samples from naturally occurring cases of epizootic catarrhal gastroenteritis (ECG) of mink. Preliminary transmission trials with bacteria-free filtrates from mink with ECG suggested that a coronavirus plays a role in the disease syndrome.
