Article Synopsis
- * A study in Guangzhou, Southern China, collected rodent samples to analyze RBoV presence, finding 54 positive samples out of 296, and recovering 12 near-complete genome sequences.
- * Phylogenetic analysis showed distinct lineages of RBoV and identified six recombination events, suggesting high genetic diversity and underscoring the need for ongoing surveillance to understand RBoV's epidemiology and potential zoonotic risks.
Background: The purpose of this study was to examine regional variation in myocardial water content (%MWC) throughout the iatrogenically edematous pig heart.
Methods: Edema was induced by hemodilution in domestic swine (n = 26). Hearts were arrested with potassium chloride.
