Key result
Porcine Sapelovirus localizes exclusively to the intestines in naturally infected pigs with severe enteritis.
Why the study?
Detection and localization of naturally occurring porcine Sapelovirus infection in pigs of different ages was not well characterized.

Immunohistochemical staining localized porcine Sapelovirus exclusively to the large and small intestines in naturally infected Indian pigs.
(PSV) in naturally infected pigs of different ages. Forty-nine fecal samples, intestinal contents and other tissue samples from dead pigs were screened in previous study using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for PSV infection. Eight animals were positive for PSV based on RT-PCR examination. Gross lesions were recorded mainly in the large and small intestines. Microscopic examination of intestines showed severe enteritis. Tissue sections of all organs from PSV positive animals were immunostained using hyperimmune serum raised in rats against PSV that had been grown in a BHK-21 cell line. Staining of PSV was found only in the large and small intestines.

Kumari et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Porcine Sapelovirus (PSV) infection (n=49). Porcine Sapelovirus (PSV) infection was evaluated on Immunohistochemical detection of PSV in tissue sections. Immunohistochemical staining of porcine Sapelovirus in naturally infected pigs localized the virus exclusively to the large and small intestines, which exhibited severe enteritis.
