Popis: Attempts were made to culture the swine parvovirus under laboratory conditions. A reference strain and a field isolate were used along with steady cell lines of pig kidney PK-15, IBAS-2, and SPEV as well as primary and secondary cell cultures of pig kidney. It was found that the steady cell lines were slightly sensitive or totally unsusceptible to the swine parvovirus. The could serve for its isolation from pathologic material and culturing in laboratory conditions. Both the primary and the secondary cell cultures proved strongly susceptible to the virus, and they could be used for the isolation of filed strains as well as for the laboratory maintenance of the virus. The strains used produced no clearly distinguishable cytopathic effects in the inoculated cell cultures. The morphologic changes that set in following inoculation with higher amounts of the virus could be seen under the light microscope and could be evaluated through cytologic investigations (the presence of intranuclear inclusion bodies). The virus could be most readily demonstrated in the infected cell cultures via the hemagglutination test.
