Description:
Piglets were weaned when 1 day old and thus were denied further access to the antibodies supplied by their dam's milk. They were placed in a nursery in which contamination by the ubiquitous rotavirus steadily increased with continuous use causing a progressive increase in the incidence of vomiting, diarrhea, and death among the piglets. A similar syndrome involving an antigenically related rotavirus and analogous management practices occurs in human infants.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lecce, J G -- King, M W -- Dorsey, W E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Feb 17;199(4330):776-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/203032" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
