HNJZ-S1 has obvious lethal effect on 3-day-old piglets
Given the pathogenicity for pregnant and neonatal mice, we performed the infection of neonatal day 3 piglets. After 12 hours exposure, the piglets showed red skin in the infection group. Their body temperatures increased to >40oC, with the peck of 40.7oC (Figure 7A ). Later, the piglets developed yellow dilute feces. All the piglets died between 18- and 32-hours post-infection (Figure 7B ). There were no disease signs or mortality observed in piglets of the control group.
