- Abstract
This article discusses enterovirus encephalomyelitis in pigs in Japan, caused by porcine teschovirus (ptv). Enterovirus encephalomyelitis is a non-suppurative encephalomyelitis of pigs that can be fatal. The disease has been identified in different forms, such as Teschen disease, Talfan disease, and poliomyelitis suum. This article describes the histological features of porcine enterovirus encephalomyelitis in piglets in Japan, caused by ptv. The study found that the lesions were limited to the central nervous system and peripheral nerve fibers, and ptv was isolated from the cerebellum and brainstem. This is the first report of enterovirus encephalomyelitis in pigs in Japan.
