subject: porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis coronavirus, Epidemiology, pathology, Immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR, genomic sequence
description: We describe an outbreak of vomiting, wasting, and encephalomyelitis syndrome in piglets in Argentina, caused by porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis coronavirus (PHE-CoV) infection. Diagnosis was made by epidemiologic factors, pathologic features, immunohistochemistry, reverse transcription–PCR, and genomic sequencing. This study documents PHE-CoV infection in South America.
