cord-317009-8tqnt1l9	Aita, Tsunehiko	Characterization of epidemic diarrhea outbreaks associated with bovine torovirus in adult cows	2011-12-14		.txt	text/plain	3922	191	57	However, other viruses, including bovine torovirus (BToV), are also suspected to be etiologic agents of diarrhea [14, 15, 21] , although the epidemiological situation of infections caused by these viruses in adult cattle remains unclear. In the present study, we report the epidemiological features of three outbreaks of epidemic diarrhea in adult cows between May 2007 and February 2008 at three dairy farms in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, in which BToV was detected as the only pathogen. Further, we describe the isolation of a cytopathogenic BToV strain from diarrheic feces using HRT-18 cells, as well as the molecular characterization of the detected BToVs. Three epidemic outbreaks of adult cattle diarrhea occurred between May 2007 and February 2008 in Niigata Prefecture, Japan. Here, we examined the etiological agents and conducted detailed serological tests with samples from three outbreaks of adult cattle diarrhea in Niigata, Japan, and found that BToV was the only causative pathogen.	./cache/cord-317009-8tqnt1l9.txt	./txt/cord-317009-8tqnt1l9.txt
