In this study, we used histopathological, bacteriological, virological, and parasitological methods to identify the cause of the disease in two piglets with severe diarrhea. C. suis in particular leads to serious disease in suckling piglets, causing diarrhea and dehydration mainly in animals 2-4 weeks of age (Mundt et al. In this study, we used histopathological, bacteriological, virological, and genetic methods to identify the causes of disease in piglets with severe diarrhea. For virological examination, contents of the small intestines of the two piglets were inspected by species-specific PCR using PED and TGE viruses (Kim et al. By using Cystoisospora-specific PCR, the predicted 440-bp product of the ITS1 gene was successfully amplified in DNAs from the cryopreserved ileum and serial sections only of the No. 1 piglet. ./cache/cord-005188-7syyl40y.txt ./txt/cord-005188-7syyl40y.txt
