| Abstract: | This paper reviews the laboratory investigations that led us to isolate the Lelystad virus and demonstrate that this virus causes mystery swine disease. We describe: 1) isolating the virus from the disease; 2) characterizing the virus as a new enveloped RNA virus; 3) reproducing the disease experimentally with the isolated Lelystad virus; 4) isolating the virus from the experimentally induced disease. |
