Study A [18]; Study B [17]; Study C [19]; Study D [13]; IHC, immunohistochemistry; ISH, in situ hybridization; H&E, hematoxylin and eosin staining (histopathology); +, present; -, absent; N/A, data not available; TLN, tracheobronchial lymph nodes; MLN, mesenteric lymph nodes; ILN, inguinal lymph nodes; Study D reported only intestinal lesions, in which, epithealial degeneration and necrosis was found.
