PID: pig infective dose; TCID50: 50% tissue culture infectious dose; PFU: plaque formation unit; GE: genomic equivalent; CDCD: caesarian derived, colostrum deprived; SPF: specific pathogen free; VH: CD: villous height: crypt depth; D-duodenum, J-jejunum, I-ileum; cont. = continuous, NR = not reported; −, +, ++, and +++ denotes none, less than 30%, 30–60% and more than 60% of villous enterocytes showing a PEDV antigen positive signal, respectively.
