| Abstract: | Feces samples from swine-herds with severe problems of neonatal diarrhoea, 3 weeks scours or early weaning diarrhoea were examined for porcine rotavirus using three techniques: EM, ELISA and CIET. Infection with rotavirus was found in about one third of the feces samples, representing more than half of the examined swine-herds. EM and ELISA revealed nearly all the samples found to be positive, while CIET as used here detected only half of them. |
