Viral Gastroenteritis in Ruminants 2013-11-17 .txt text/plain 4838 253 48 Rotavirus infection is generally limited to the small intestine in calves, pigs and humans (Middleton et al., 1974; Mebus and Newman, 1977; McAdaragh et al., 1980) , but antigen can be found in the colon of lambs (Snodgrass et al., 1977) , pigs (Theil et al., 1978) and mice (Little and Shadduck, 1982) . Bovine Coronavirus diarrhea, like rotavirus diarrhea, occurs within 15-24 h p.i. Early in infection the villous epithelial cells appear morphological normal but they contain large amounts of antigen. Since diarrhea occurs before denudation and loss of enterocytes it is postulated that it is a direct result of infection of the cell and the ensuing redirection of cellular functions from absorption to virus replication. Because of the replication in lymphoid tissue this disease can be more severe, especially in small animals, than other viral infections, because of interference with immune responses and damage to the crypts. ./cache/cord-022453-xe5v7947.txt ./txt/cord-022453-xe5v7947.txt
