Résumé:

Thirteen conventional sows were inoculated between 61 and 92 days of gestation with a Belgium or a Greek EMCV isolate to investigate the difference in pathogenicity of both strains for sows in gestation. The Belgian EMCV strain was isolated from the offspring of a sow with productive failure and without myocardial lesions. The Greek strain was isolated from a 3-month-old pig with prominent myocardial lesions. The present study demonstrates a transplacental virus transmission with fetal death following an infection of the sows in gestation with both isolates. The fetal pathogenicity was more…
