对于新生儿“震颤仔猪”病例，从二十世纪二十年代的欧洲以及海外就有过报道。研究人员到目前为止对这些仔猪先天震颤的额外原因仍感到不解。在相当长的一段时间里，人们都怀疑是一种从前未知的病毒导致-但是没有任何确凿的证据。根据新的基因组序列资料，来自维也纳生猪临床诊断大学诊所、病毒学研究所、病理学研究所和法医兽医学的研究人员组成了一支科研团队，他们已经能够确定是一种新病毒产生了这种可能危及生命的疾病。该病原体属于所谓的非典型猪瘟病毒属，在奥地利的农场中通过一种特殊测试检验而出。
AUSTRIA - Cases of newborn "shaking piglets" have been reported since the 1920s both in Europe and abroad. Yet an additional cause for these congenital tremors has so far eluded researchers. A previously unknown virus had therefore been suspected for quite some time - but without conclusive confirmation.On the basis of new genomic sequence data, a team of researchers from the University Clinic for Swine, the Institute of Virology, and the Institute of Pathology and Forensic Veterinary Medicine at Vetmeduni Vienna has now been able to identify a new virus as the cause of this potentially life-threatening disease. The pathogen, which belongs to the so-called atypical porcine pestiviruses (APPV), was detected in diseased animals at Austrian farms using a specially developed test.
