Enteroviruses
General overview
Enterovirus, a kind of small (30 nm), nonenveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses, belongs to the family Picornaviridae. While most of the enterovirus infections are relatively mild and result in complete recovery of the patient, they can also cause severe and fatal diseases such as meningitis, encephalitis, myocarditis, neonatal sepsis, and polio. Infection occurs mainly via fecal-oral transmission and less commonly by respiratory droplets. While no known non-human reservoirs have been identified, water-borne, foodborne, and blood-borne transmissions have been reported (Stalkup and Chilukuri 2002).
Summary Data
Cliver (1981) challenged pigs with Porcine enterovirus type 3 and 7 via oral exposure route.

The data from different experiments were not able to be statistically pooled.

Summary
The different LD50 for these two experiments indicates various virulence between pathogen strains.
