First identification of mammalian orthoreovirus type 3 in diarrheic pigs in Europe. Issue 1 (December 2016) - Lelli, Davide
Abstract Mammalian Orthoreoviruses 3 (MRV3) have been described in diarrheic pigs from USA and Asia. We firstly detected MRV3 in Europe (Italy) in piglets showing severe diarrhea associated with Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea. The virus was phylogenetically related to European reoviruses of human and bat origin and to US and Chinese pig MRV3.
