RT: HeV-M rRT-PCR, Log10 copy number/12.5 μL of sample; VI: virus isolation, TCID50/12.5 μL of sample; ND: not detectable; −: negative, detected but lower than 2.0.
Samples were re-frozen and stored at −70 °C after the rRT-PCR screening (data in Tab. II).
Samples with negative results on virus isolations for both infected Landrace pigs were not presented.
