Localized areas of infection (focus) visualized by PAP staining technique under a light microscope. At 8 h p.i., individual cells infected with KPEDV-9 are shown having dark-gray stained cytoplasm (Inline graphic) due to reactivity of viral proteins deposited in the cytoplasm with anti-PEDV immune complex and DAB (A). At 10 h p.i., early signs of synyctium formation (multi-nucleated cells) and infection of adjacent cells () are observed (B). At 12 h p.i., more than 50 nuclei (Inline graphic) line up at the periphery of the syncytium (C). At 24 h p.i., there is nearly 100% cell-to-cell fusion through out the cell monolayer with the nuclei lined up in the middle of the syncytium (Inline graphic) (D) (magnification: 40×).
