Fetal microscopic lesions in porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus-induced abortion
Microscopic lesions in four cases of abortion caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) were characterized by arteritis, myocarditis, and encephalitis. Fetal PRRSV infection was confirmed by virus isolation or immunohistochemistry and serology. Although fetal microscopic...
