Poliovirus crystals within the endoplasmic reticulum of endothelial and mononuclear cells in the monkey spinal cord.

The lumbar motor columns of a cynomolgus monkey that had become tetraplegic after experimental infection with a highly virulent strain of type 3 poliovirus were examined by electron microscopy. Crystalline aggregates of poliovirus occurred within the endoplasmic reticulum of endothelial cells as well as of mononuclear inflammatory cells. This finding suggests that the endoplasmic reticulum might be much more involved in poliovirus multiplication than has been previously supposed.

An attempt to experimentally produce edema disease in swine by oral administration of escherichia coli serotype O139:K82:H1.

Diarrhea, reduced appetite, and nervousness were observed following oral exposure of six pigs to freeze-thaw extract and living culture of E. coli strain 0139:K82:H1. The most significance gross change was the appearance of subserosal edema of the mesentry, especially of the mesocolon. Histological findings included perivascular edema of the brain and reticulum cells as well as lymphocytic aggregates in the renal cortex simulating early neoplasia. Edema of the submucosa of gallbladder, the duodenum, the spiral colon and the fundic stomach as well as the lymph nodes was also observed. The syndrome which was produced resembled, in many aspects, edema disease although some complicating factors were ob-

Attempts to produce experimental edema disease in swine by parenterally injecting Escherichia coli serotype O139:K82:H1.

Twenty-two pigs were inoculated parenterally with various E. coli 0139:K82:H1 preparations. Clinical signs of disease in pigs injected with freeze-thaw extract consisted of early listlessness, diarrhea and, later, hyperirritability of varying intensity in some animals.Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis involving the duodenum, spiral colon and the fundic portion of the stomach, and ulceration of the fundic stomach were observed at post-mortem examination of pigs inoculated parenterallly with living culture or freeze-thaw extract. No significant lesions were observed in pigs inoculated with ultrasonic or hypotonic acid-saline extract. In pigs injected with living culture or freeze-thaw extract, the histological alterations consisted of moderate perivascular edema of the brain, marked hepatic parenchymal cell degeneration, hepatic subserosal edema and "toxic" lymph nodes, when compared to the control group.
