Gross and histological lesions of tonsils, lungs and kidneys of piglets in different groups. Piglets infected with Shimen (a1-a3) or HLJ1 (b1-b3) showed obvious necrosis, hemorrhaging or hemorrhagic spots than mock-infected (c1-c3) piglets. Histopathology of tonsils, lungs and kidneys of Shimen- (a4-a6), HLJ1-infected (b4-b6) piglets manifested partial lymphoid follicle atrophy, interstitial pneumonia or lymph histiocytic infiltrates than control (c4-c6). Viral antigen of CSFV was detected in the tonsils of piglets in Shimen- or HLJ1-infected groups by means of IHC staining (a7, b7). The tonsils of piglets in control group were negative for CSFV (C7).
