  • Title: Gnotobiotic piglets experimentally infected with neonatal calf diarrhoea reovirus-like agent (Rotavirus).
    Author: Hall GA, Bridger JC, Chandler RL, Woode GN.
    Journal: Vet Pathol; 1976; 13(3):197-210. PubMed ID: 180653.
    Abstract:
    Gnotobiotic piglets were infected with a strain of rotavirus that had been isolated from a calf and passaged four times in piglets. The resulting disease was studied by light and electron microscopy at 21, 44 and 68 h after inoculation. In the small intestine infection caused desquamation of the epithelial cells of the villi resulting in severe stunting. There was severe damage to microvilli and accumulation of lipid within the cytoplasm. Virus particles were seen in epithelial cells covering the stunted villi. Infection also caused desquamation of the superficial epithelial cells of the stomach mucosa and of the epithelial cells of the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli of the lungs.
