Genogroup I picobirnavirus in diarrhoeic foals: Can the horse serve as a natural reservoir for human infection?
1 Jan 2011

In this study a PBV strain, PBV/Horse/India/BG-Eq-3/2010, was identified in the faeces of a 10 month old weaned female foal with diarrhoea in January 2010 from Kolkata, India.
