Figure 1

Histopathological changes in the small intestine of calves and piglets infected with the porcine G5P[7] RVA strain K71. (A and B) Duodenum sampled from a mock-inoculated piglet (A) and a calf (B) had normal long slender villi (up-down arrow) and short crypt (up-wards arrow) in the mucosal membrane. (C) Duodenum sampled from a virus-infected piglet at 3 dpi showed severe villous atrophy (up-down arrow), villous fusions (arrows), and increased crypt depth (up-wards arrow). (D) Duodenum sampled from a virus-infected calf at 3 dpi displayed normal long slender villi (up-down arrow) and short crypt (up-wards arrow) in the mucosal membrane. Hematoxylin and eosin stain. Bars denote 400 μm.
