In natural infections of susceptible mammalian species such as zoo animals or domestic swine, EMCV tends to affect the cardiopulmonary system.
“In natural infections of susceptible mammalian species such as zoo animals or domestic swine, EMCV tends to affect the cardiopulmonary system, with additional neurological involvement in some cases.”
From Zoological transmission of encephalomyocarditis virus in the United States: Virus evolution, host ecology, and capsid antigenicity derived from an outbreak (2026) · cites this paper as [19]
The major target organ of EMCV in natural infections is the heart, with clinical infection predominantly manifesting as myocarditis, and pulmonary edema often noted secondarily to cardiac failure.
“The major target organ is the heart, with clinical infection predominantly manifesting as myocarditis, with pulmonary edema often noted secondarily to cardiac failure [19–21].”

A large number of species hosted by the Zoological Park are susceptible to EMCV infection.
“A large number of them are sensible to the EMCV infection [1-5,9-13].”
From Encephalomyocarditis virus infection in an Italian zoo (2010) · cites this paper as [9]
EMCV infections may often be clinically non-evident and only in certain cases they show extreme virulence, lethality and severity.
“EMCV infections may often be clinically non-evident and only in certain cases they show extreme virulence, lethality and severity [1,4,5,9].”

This agrees with various studies in which mice and rats were associated with clinical outbreaks of EMCV, not only in wild animals, but often also in pigs herds.
“This agrees with the various studies in which mice and rats were associated with clinical outbreaks of EMCV, not only in wild animals [1,3-5,9-13,15-17], but often also in pigs herds [18-20].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
