Project description
Better insights will be obtained in the epidemiology and pathogenesis of porcine
rotavirus infections in pigs suffering from nursery and weaning diarrhea. Besides, the possible danger of interspecies
transmission of these porcine rotaviruses to humans, and vice versa, will be assessed using a new in vitro model of
human and porcine enterocytes.
