Title: Evaluation of equine coronavirus fecal shedding among hospitalized horses Document date: 2019_2_20
ID: 6zomiz4g_15
Snippet: Fecal samples were selected because ECoV can be shed consistently in feces of affected and exposed horses. 2, 7 Samples were collected upon admission and after 48 hours of hospitalization to increase chances of viral detection because shedding may be low during the peracute stages of infection or may be delayed because of gastrointestinal tract stasis. 1 In addition, serial sampling was performed to evaluate the role of stress in ECoV fecal shedd.....
Document: Fecal samples were selected because ECoV can be shed consistently in feces of affected and exposed horses. 2, 7 Samples were collected upon admission and after 48 hours of hospitalization to increase chances of viral detection because shedding may be low during the peracute stages of infection or may be delayed because of gastrointestinal tract stasis. 1 In addition, serial sampling was performed to evaluate the role of stress in ECoV fecal shedding, because stress has been shown to affect shedding of other equine pathogens. [19] [20] [21] A >48-hour sampling period between samples was not feasible, because most horses undergoing anesthesia for imaging purposes were hospitalized for ≤2 days.
