Classical swine fever virus infection of pigs causes a severe leukopenia and immunosuppression. In the present study, the kinetics of virus infection, and identification of target cells for the virus in peripheral blood were analysed. Virus infection was often not detectable before 5-7 days p.i. A minority of animals yielded detectable infected cells at 3 days p.i., but < 5% PBMC. It was not until 10 days p.i....
