Isolation of transmissible Gastroenteritis virus, pseudorabies virus, and porcine enterovirus from pharyngeal swabs taken from market-weight-swine. 1981

L J Kemeny

Pharyngeal swab samples were collected at a central Iowa abattoir from 6,010 market-weight slaughter hogs from September 1, 1979 to August 31, 1980. The swab samples were examined for cytopathic viruses by inoculation of monolayer cultures of continuous line of swine testicular cells. Of the 6,010 swab samples tested, transmissible gastroenteritis virus was isolated from 91 (1,51%), pseudorabies virus was isolated from 431 (7.17%), and porcine enterovirus was isolated from 21 (0.35%). Although all 3 viruses were identified throughout the year, transmissible gastroenteritis and pseudorabies viruses were found more frequently during the winter and early spring. In contrast, porcine enterovirus was detected more frequently during the spring and summer.

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
D011557	Pseudorabies	A highly contagious herpesvirus infection affecting the central nervous system of swine, cattle, dogs, cats, rats, and other animals.	Aujeszky's Disease,Aujeszky Disease,Aujeszkys Disease
D011558	Herpesvirus 1, Suid	A species of VARICELLOVIRUS producing a respiratory infection (PSEUDORABIES) in swine, its natural host.

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
