Abstract

Gross lesions of multifocal interstitial nephritis, often called 'white spotted kidney', can be caused by various bacterial or viral hematogenous infections [1, 2]. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is an association between these lesions in slaughter pigs and the causative agents in Jeju. (omitted)
