| isolation and characterization of the first chinese strain of porcine teschovirus-8. | investigations were carried out to identify the causal agent of acute diarrhea, respiratory distress, and death of pigs on a swine farm in jilin province, northern china. only porcine teschovirus (ptv, designated as ptv-8 jilin/2003) was isolated from samples of organs. the presence of ptv was confirmed by the production of a specific cytopathic effect on susceptible cells and by the results of the immunoperoxidase monolayer assay (ipma), polymerase chain reaction, and electron microscopy. other ... | 2010 | 20362007 |
| phylogeny and evolution of porcine teschovirus 8 isolated from pigs in china with reproductive failure. | a porcine teschovirus (ptv) was isolated from a dead piglet from a herd of 200 sows showing reproductive failure in fuyu, heilongjiang province, china. sequencing of most of the genome of this isolate, designated fuyu/2009, revealed that is was a ptv-8 isolate, closely related to a previously identified chinese ptv-8 strain (jilin/2003). both chinese strains vary from the european ptv-8 strains by different clustering of the 3cd sequences. infection with these viruses may be associated with pron ... | 2012 | 22527870 |
