Isolation of mouse hepatitis virus from infant mice with fatal diarrhea. 1978

T Ishida, and F Taguchi, and Y S Lee, and A Yamada, and T Tamura, and K Fujiwara

An epizootic of fatal diarrhea occurred in mice which were approximately 10 days of age. The enteric lesions were similar to those reported in lethal intestinal virus of infant mice, but many diseased mice also had necrotic hepatitis. Mouse hepatitis virus antigen was demonstrated in the affected intestine and liver, and a virus that produced syncitium formation in mouse brain tumor cell culture was isolated from the intestines, livers, and brains. The virus was capable of producing intestinal and hepatic lesions similar to the naturally occurring disease after inoculation into suckling mice. Electron microscopy revealed viral particles within affected intestinal epithelial cells of the inoculated mice.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D003967 Diarrhea An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight. Diarrheas
