In situ hybridization from study of multifarm outbreak of novel parvovirus in pigs associated with exophthalmos and erythema, the Netherlands, 2024. A) Hepatocytes with red coloring depict Protoparvovirus nucleic acids, indicating focal presence of viral nucleic acids in nuclei of hepatocytes. In the center, viral DNA is present with 2 excentric foci in a cell nucleus, indicative of viral DNA presence in a cell in mitosis (brightfield scan of histology slide, 40× objective magnification [0,19 µm/pixel]). B) In situ hybridization of swine testicular cell line infected with protoparvovirus. Original magnification 10×10.
