Quantitative transmissible gastroenteritis virus shedding patterns in lactating sows.
    American journal of veterinary research, 1977, Volume: 38, Issue:3

    To test the role of sows in spreading transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE), 11 sows were intravenously, intranasally, or intramammarily inoculated with virulent virus within 5 days of farrowing. Six of the sows were separated from their offspring, and 5 were allowed to nurse their litters. All sows became clinically ill with sign of anorexia, depression, and fever that persisted until postinoculation day 4 or 5. They shed virus through milk, nasal secretions, and feces, with individual variations occurring in degree and duration of shedding in the 1st week after inoculation. Of 40 pigs separately fed milk samples from the 6 inoculated sows, 19 pigs (47.5%) became sick in 24 to 40 hours, and virus was isolated from them at necropsy. Of 43 pigs in the 5 litters that nursed exposed dams, all became sick with typical signs of TGE, and 29 (67.4%) died in 2 to 9 days. Sows given the single intramammary inoculation of virus developed statistically significant higher levels of TGE virus-neutralizing antibodies than did sows inoculated intravenously or intranasally.

Upper respiratory infection of lactating sows with transmissible gastroenteritis virus following contact exposure to infected piglets.
    The Cornell veterinarian, 1975, Volume: 65, Issue:3

    Ten breeding sows were left in direct contact with their newborn piglets that had been experimentally infected with transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus. All sows became infected with the virus. The sows developed fever and showed mild clinical signs of the disease for a few days. The sows excreted virus in the nasal secretion, feces, and milk during the acute febrile phase of illness. Virus was isolated from the nasal secretion of one sow as early as 20 hours after contact exposure to the infected piglets. At necropsy, the virus was more frequently isolated from the tissues of the upper respiratory tract than from small intestines; this finding indicated that the TGE coronavirus replicated in the upper respiratory tract and induced an acute respiratory infection in susceptible adult swine. Neutralizing antibody was present in the sera 8 sows after 12 to 36 days during the convalescent period. From these results, we conclude that susceptible sows in direct contact with ill piglets can become infected and by excreting virus can serve as a source of TGE virus for other susceptible pigs on the premises.
