Abstract: Eleven enteroviruses representing four serotypes were isolated in a porcine kidney cell-line from swabs collected from a litter of apparently healthy piglets in New Zealand. One serotype produced type 2 cytopathic effect and was neutralized by type 8 porcine enterovirus antiserum. Of the remaining three serotypes which produced type 1 cytopathic effect, one was neutralized by type 1 antiserum and two were not neutralized at all by antisera types 1 to 8. Cross neutralization tests were not carried out. Nervous disease or reproductive disorders have not yet been associated with these viruses in New Zealand.
