Infection in piglets with a porcine rotavirus-like virus. Experimental inoculation and ultrastructural examination.
A rotavirus-like virus has been isolated from cases of neonatal diarrhoea in piglets. No antigenic relationship with known rotaviruses or with an American strain of a rotavirus-like virus has been demonstrated. Morphologically the virus is similar to known rotaviruses, but it differs in the ability to form syncytia of the enterocytes in the small intestine.
