Isolation and identification of a virus causing abortions and stillbirths in swine (Preliminary report)
1975
: A virus of the RNA type, having no lipid envelope, acid-fast and stable to heat, was isolated from an aborted fetus and from the kidney of a piglet of a lower viability at birth. It was readily cultured, multiplying quickly in primary cell cultures of pig kidney and in the SPEV cell line, producing a characteristic cytopathic effect. It gave no hemagglutination with human, chicken, and swine erythrocytes. Serologically, it was identified as a swine enterovirus of serotype I, identical with the viruses described as the etiologic agents of SMEDI.
