Intestinal changes in gnotobiotic piglets experimentally inoculated with porcine rotavirus. 1982

M Narita, and A Fukusho, and S Konno, and Y Shimizu

Intestinal lesions were studied in 8 gnotobiotic piglets orally given porcine rotavirus by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Five of these piglets were killed 6, 12, 18, 24 and 48 hours after inoculation, respectively. Of the other 3 piglets, one died 60 hours and two became moribund 96 and 114 hours after inoculation, respectively. All the infected piglets showed diarrhea between 18 and 24 hours after inoculation. Examination of the small intestine by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy indicated the extensive degeneration and desquamation of epithelial cells with villi stripped and shortened. Villous degeneration, especially that in the jejunum and ileum, was very severe 24 hours after inoculation. Within 48 hours after inoculation, all the stripped villi were replaced by multiplication of regenerated cuboidal epithelial cells. Transmission electron microscopy revealed many virus particles in the epithelial cells of the small intestine 18 hours after inoculation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007413 Intestinal Mucosa Lining of the INTESTINES, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. In the SMALL INTESTINE, the mucosa is characterized by a series of folds and abundance of absorptive cells (ENTEROCYTES) with MICROVILLI.

D007421 Intestine, Small The portion of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT between the PYLORUS of the STOMACH and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE. It is divisible into three portions: the DUODENUM, the JEJUNUM, and the ILEUM. Small Intestine,Intestines, Small,Small Intestines
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

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

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).
