The differentiation status of porcine intestinal epithelial cells of 3 days old piglets and the co-cultured enterocytes were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. To determine the percentage of rotavirus infected cells in primary porcine enterocytes, cells were fixed at different time points (0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 h) post inoculation with a low-passage archival RVA strain. Therefore, the susceptibility of primary porcine enterocytes co-cultured with myofibroblasts to four different genotypes of rotavirus A contained in fecal suspensions was tested by RT-qPCR (Fig. 7) . Although rotavirus was reported to have an exclusive tropism for small intestinal enterocytes 41 , rotavirus RVA/Pig-tc/BEL/RV277/1977/G1P [7] strain could infect both primary ileum and colon epithelial cells with a trypsin treatment. ./cache/cord-342289-zpstb7h9.txt ./txt/cord-342289-zpstb7h9.txt
