EDIM, epizootic diarrhea of infant mice virus; MAV2, mouse adenovirus type 2 (strain K87); MCMV, murine cytomegalovirus; MFIA, multiplex fluorescent immunoassay; MHV, mouse hepatitis virus; MNV, murine norovirus; MPV, mouse parvovirus; MVM, minute virus of mice; TMEV, Theiler mouse encephalomyelitis virus
Building locations are defined in the legend for Figure 1.
Data are given as number of virus-positive samples/total number of samples.
No serologic evidence of M. pulmonis, cilia-associated respiratory bacillus, E. cuniculi, C. piliforme, ectromelia virus, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, polyoma virus, pneumonia virus of mice, reovirus type 3, or Sendai virus was detected. PCR or RT-PCR for viral nucleic acid in fecal samples was uniformly negative for EDIM virus, MVM, reovirus type 3, and TMEV.
Fecal pellets from 4 additional mice trapped in laboratories and offices in the BRB were RT-PCR-negative for MHV and PCR-negative for MPV.
