Pathogenesis of Experimental Encephalomyocarditis: A Histopathological, Immunohistochemical and Virological Study in Mice

Mice (n=20) aged 8 weeks were infected, either by oronasal inoculation or by contact, with one of two different myocardial strains of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), namely, the Greek strain 424/90 and the Belgian strain B279/95. The animals were killed at 18–59 days post-infection (dpi), except...

description Mice (n=20) aged 8 weeks were infected, either by oronasal inoculation or by contact, with one of two different myocardial strains of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), namely, the Greek strain 424/90 and the Belgian strain B279/95. The animals were killed at 18–59 days post-infection (dpi), except for two mice that died at 6 and 32 dpi, and samples of brain, heart, pancreas, kidney, Peyer's patches, spleen, lung and thymus were processed for virological, histopathological and immunohistochemical examination. Apart from the two deaths, the experimental infection was inapparent, but virus was invariably recovered from faeces and several organs. The main histopathological lesions were focal interstitial pancreatitis, depletion of thymus and Peyer's patches, and interstitial pneumonia. Additionally, in the two mice that died, multifocal interstitial myocarditis was observed. EMCV antigen was detected in the cytoplasm of pancreatic acinar cells and in macrophages of the lung and the thymus. Antigen was also detected in the cytoplasm of cardiac muscle cells from three animals, including the two that died. The results support the role of mice, in addition to rats, as reservoir hosts in the epidemiology of EMCV infections on pig farms.
