A neonatal congenital tremor (CT) syndrome that sporadically occurs in Belgian piglets is described. The results of an epidemiologic follow-up survey on affected farms is presented. Experimental trials to provoke this syndrome by inoculation of a brain suspension, derived from CT-piglets, in pregnant sows by intramuscular and intrauterine way, partly succeeded. Histological and biochemical studies on brain tissue of these piglets indicated that this form of CT should be classified as an A2 form. Using serologic and virologic examinations we were however not able to identify the probably infectious CT-agent.
描述了一种在比利时仔猪中偶发的新生儿先天性震颤（CT）综合征。介绍了对受影响猪场进行的流行病学随访调查结果。通过肌肉注射和子宫内接种来自CT仔猪的脑悬液，在怀孕母猪中诱发该综合征的实验部分成功。对这些仔猪脑组织的组织学和生化研究表明，这种形式的CT应归类为A2型。然而，通过血清学和病毒学检查，我们未能识别出可能具有传染性的CT病原体。
