Logarithmic graph of the viral copy numbers of porcine astrovirus type 3 (PoAstV-3) in different organs determined by SYBR Green–based quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) of samples from 5 symptomatic newly weaned pigs (GD-1–5; see Table 1) from a farm in Hungary. All the samples, which were positive for PoAstV-3 only by nested RT-PCR, were found negative by quantitative RT-PCR. BS, brainstem; CNS, central nervous system; NM, nasal mucosa; SC-C/T/L, cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spi
