Isolation of transmissible gastroenteritis virus from pharyngeal swabs obtained from sows at slaughter. 1978

L J Kemeny

A virologic survey was conducted to determine the frequency of transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus infection in farm-raised sows. Pharyngeal swab specimens collected in an abattoir were examined for TGE virus by inoculation onto swine-testes cell culures. The virus was detected in 61 (3%) of a sample of 2,058 Iowa sows after slaughter. All TGE viral isolates, given orally to 2- or 3-day-old pigs, caused acute gastroenteritis and in some cases death. All pigs that recovered from illness had serum antibody to TGE virus.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010614	Pharynx	A funnel-shaped fibromuscular tube that conducts food to the ESOPHAGUS, and air to the LARYNX and LUNGS. It is located posterior to the NASAL CAVITY; ORAL CAVITY; and LARYNX, and extends from the SKULL BASE to the inferior border of the CRICOID CARTILAGE anteriorly and to the inferior border of the C6 vertebra posteriorly. It is divided into the NASOPHARYNX; OROPHARYNX; and HYPOPHARYNX (laryngopharynx).	Throat,Pharynxs,Throats
D003332	Coronaviridae	Spherical RNA viruses, in the order NIDOVIRALES, infecting a wide range of animals including humans. Transmission is by fecal-oral and respiratory routes. Mechanical transmission is also common. There are two genera: CORONAVIRUS and TOROVIRUS.	Bafinivirus,Coronavirinae,Torovirinae,White bream virus,Bafiniviruses,White bream viruses

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013552	Swine	Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).	Phacochoerus,Pigs,Suidae,Warthogs,Wart Hogs,Hog, Wart,Hogs, Wart,Wart Hog
