Pathogenesis of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) infection in piglets during the viraemia phase: a histopathological, immunohistochemical and virological study.
Six piglets aged 20 days were inoculated oranasally with 5 ml of a suspension (10(6) TCID(50)/ml) of a Greek myocardial strain of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV). The animals either died (n=2) or were killed for examination on days 1,2 or 3 post-inoculation (pi). EMCV was isolated from virtually all organs examined (heart, tonsils, palatine glands, pancreas, spleen, small intestine and mesenteric lymph nodes). Histopathologically, interstitial myocarditis, necrosis of cardiac muscle cells and Purkinje fibres, and necrotizing tonsillitis were detected in all inoculated piglets. Focal interstitial pancreatitis, necrosis of pancreatic acinar cells and Langerhans islet cells, and necrosis of germinal centre lymphocytes of the lymph nodes and Peyer's patches were detected in two piglets that died or were killed on day 3 pi. Immunohistochemically, viral antigen was detected in epithelial cells of all organs examined, including the tonsils, palatine glands, pancreatic interlobular ducts and small intestine. This suggests that EMCV is epitheliotropic, in addition to its known myocardial tropism. The frequent presence of intracytoplasmic EMCV in macrophages of the tonsils and spleen supports the hypothesis that macrophages play a role in viral replication and dissemination in the body.

Comparison of the pathogenic, antigenic and molecular characteristics of two encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) isolates from Belgium and Greece.
The pathogenicity of two porcine encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) isolates for sows in gestation and young piglets was studied. One virus originated from a case of reproductive failure in pigs in Belgium and the other from a case of acute myocarditis in pigs in Greece. Sows in the mid-gestation period and one- to two-month old piglets were inoculated with each isolate. The molecular relationship between both isolates was studied by determining the nucleotide sequence located across the junction of the 1C and 1D capsid-coding genes. Antigenic analysis was performed using a panel of 35 monoclonal antibodies raised against an Italian field isolate of EMCV. All three approaches revealed differences between both isolates and also confirmed that there was no link between the two outbreaks of disease.
