From instances of diarrhea of the newborn in four separate hospital outbreaks a filtrable agent was isolated which regularly produced diarrhea in calves. This agent appeared to have the characteristics of a filtrable virus. The four strains of virus isolated in the outbreaks studied appeared to be identical or very closely related. The virus was not found present in the stools of any of eight normal newborn infants or five normal calves. Evidence is presented that the virus may be one of the causes of epidemic diarrhea of the newborn.
在四家不同医院爆发的新生儿腹泻病例中,分离出一种可滤过性病原体,该病原体可使小牛定期出现腹泻。这种病原体似乎具有可滤过性病毒的特征。在所研究的疫情中分离出的四株病毒似乎相同或密切相关。在八名正常新生儿和五头正常小牛的粪便中均未发现该病毒。有证据表明,该病毒可能是新生儿流行性腹泻的病因之一。
