An alternative pathway of enteric PEDV dissemination from nasal cavity to intestinal mucosa in swine
Abstract
Outbreaks of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) have seriously affected pig farms around the world. Here, Li et al. show that PEDV can cause disease in piglets when inoculated by nasal spray, and provide insights into the cellular mechanisms underlying PEDV dissemination within the host.
