Samenvatting:

The objective of the present study was to gain a better understanding of the epidemiology of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) infections in pigs by applying molecular techniques. The diagnostic potential of a reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) targeting 286 nucleotides at the 3’ end of the gene which encodes the viral polymerase was assessed with experimental and field samples. In addition, the use of the amplified sequences for an epidemiological study was evaluated. The heart was clearly shown to be the most suitable organ. The detection limit was determined to be 1 viral particle in 100…
