We attempted to produce diarrhoea experimentally in the newborn calf by orally injecting 17 colostrum-deprived calves with two serotypes of Escherichia coli Ent+ K99+, a rotavirus and a coronavirus. With E. coli alone, a dose of 2 x 10(8) bacteria administered 24 hours after birth causes a mild attack of diarrhoea, whereas 1 x 10(10) bacteria leads to dehydration and death. An inoculation of rotavirus is followed by diarrhoea which always contains large quantities of rotavirus. These animals were anorectic for a time, but none was dehydrated or died. With coronavirus, there were large quantities of watery diarrhoea, which led to dehydration and death. The inoculation of rotavirus, not lethal in itself, followed by a similarly non lethal inoculation of E. coli in doses of 3 x 10(8) to 2 x 10(9) led to dehydration and death. The authors conclude that dehydration and death of the animal can caused by large doses of E. coli or coronavirus or by two non-lethal doses of rotavirus and E. coli administered one after the other.

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

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
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
