Coronaviruses frequently mutate and recombine
T
Frequently mutations: Recombination
Coronaviruses have a weak physical resistance
T
In the case of transmissible encephalopathies always degenerative lesions can be see
T
In the case of transmissible encephalopathies meningoencephalitis is a typical postmortem
lesion
F
Typical sign of TGE is vomiting and diarrhoea
T
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea: yellowish, watery, characteristic odor
- Loss of appetite
TGE virus does not reach the mammary gland
F
TGE virus can replicate in the lung
T
Virus replication: epithelial cells of lungs or
intestines (jejunum)
The colostral immunity against TGE protects the piglets from the disease
T
The antibodies against porcine respiratory coronavirus protect the pigs against TGE
