- * Two new strains, RV0104 and RV0143, were sequenced and analyzed for their effects on gnotobiotic pigs, showing that they are genetically different from the historic Cowden strain.
- * Infections in 3-day-old piglets resulted in severe symptoms, with RV0143 causing the most damage to the small intestine, while 3-week-old piglets showed milder symptoms and higher antibody levels against PRVC.
