A survey of Newcastle disease in Swiss laying-hen flocks using serological testing and simulation modelling

Newcastle disease (ND) is a highly contagious viral disease of birds particularly domestic poultry. Switzerland is currently declared free from ND; since vaccination is prohibited, the detection of antibodies against ND virus (NDV) results in the destruction of the respective flock (stamping-out policy). However, in 1995 and 1996, antibody-positive flocks were detected and sporadic ND outbreaks even occurred in Switzerland. Therefore, a serosurvey was done to look for evidence of NDV infections in Swiss laying-hen flocks. The survey was designed to provide 95% confidence of detecting at least one seropositive flock if the flock prevalence were 1%. Thirty blood samples from each of 260 commercial laying-hen flocks were collected during 1996 in a central poultry slaughterhouse. Sera were screened for NDV antibodies with a commercial blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Samples with a questionable or positive test result were retested with the same ELISA. A stochastic computer model was applied to define a cut-off number of test-positive samples to help to differentiate between true- and false-positive flocks and to estimate the true flock prevalence of infection. Four flocks were identified as NDV-seropositive and the NDV true seroprevalence among commercial laying-hen flocks in Switzerland was most likely between 1.35 and 1.55%. This indicates that Swiss laying-hen and parental flocks with more than 150 animals have been in contact with strains of NDV that cause subclinical infection in chicken, because no clinical symptoms have been observed. In this context, computer simulation was a useful technique to interpret survey results.     

Response of Chickens to Infection with Newcastle Disease Virus Isolated from a Guinea Fowl

An isolate of Newcastle disease virus obtained from a guinea fowl was characterized as a viscerotropic velogenic strain based upon pathogenicity index studies. Following inoculation of the viral isolate oronasally into 3-week-old chickens, clinical signs appeared after an incubation period of 4–5 days and included dullness, depression, dyspnoea, diarrhoea and leg paralysis. The virus caused a mortality of 56% with haemorrhages at the tip of the glands of the proventriculus and caecal tonsil. Histopathological changes were prominent in the lymphoid organs, being characterized by depletion, degeneration and necrosis of the lymphoid tissues. The brain was the first organ affected, with changes being noticed 3 days after infection. Isolation of virus from various organs was more frequent from 5 to 10 days after infection, but the virus persisted in some of the organs until 21 days after infection. In spite of the high mortality, a good immune response was elicited by the isolate, as was evident from the antibody titre.     

表达新城疫病毒融合蛋白基因禽痘病毒重组体的构建

通过RT-PCR扩增新城疫病毒F基因,利用禽痘病毒复合启动子、SV40 PolyA终止信号序列构建F基因表达盒。将F基因表达盒与loxp-GFP-loxP序列串联插入禽痘病毒重组臂,构建了禽痘病毒转移质粒载体。在脂质体介导下转染CEF,获得了带有绿色荧光信号的重组病毒rFPVFGFP。通过二次转染,利用Cre-loxP位点特异性重组将重组病毒基因组的GFP自动去除,结果获得了只含新城疫病毒F基因表达盒的重组禽痘病毒rFPVF。试验结果表明,rFPVF复制稳定,表达的F蛋白具有免疫原性,能够刺激鸡只产生抗新城疫病毒的中和抗体。     

鸡新城疫病毒的分离与鉴定

从山东某鸡场的产蛋下降而无其他典型新城疫(Newcastle Disease)症状的高抗体蛋鸡群中分离到一株病毒。经过试验鉴定,该分离株具有血凝性,且可被ND标准阳性血清所抑制和中和,不能被AI(H5亚型与H9亚型)标准阳性血清抑制;该病毒的最小致死量病毒致死鸡胚的平均时间(h)为50.4 h,1日龄SPF鸡脑内接种分离病毒致病指数(ICPI)为1.85,6周龄SPF鸡静脉接种致病指数(IVPI)为2.42,回归试验鸡出现了新城疫症状和病变,经外源病毒检测及回归试验该病毒株被确定为新城疫病毒,并属强毒型,命名为ShD-5-04。     

缓释复方免疫增强剂对鸡新城疫疫苗免疫增强效果研究

将40只10日龄海兰褐蛋雏鸡，随机分成试验组和对照组，每组20只，分别皮下注射ND-La Sota弱毒疫苗0．2ml／只。同时给试验组雏鸡投服缓释复方免疫增强剂1粒／只，对照组不投服。在免疫前、免疫后10、20、30和40d，每组随机取10只鸡采血，测定ND-HI抗体效价、T淋巴细胞ERFC形成率和ANAE阳性率。结果免疫后10、20、30、40d，试验组与对照组比较，鸡ND-HI抗体效价、T淋巴细胞ERFC形成率和ANAE阳性率差异极显著（P〈0．01）或显著（P〈0．05），三项指标具有相同的消涨趋势，表明缓释复方免疫增强剂可以提高鸡的体液免疫功能和细胞免疫功能。

不同佐剂新城疫疫苗对鸡体液免疫的影响

佐剂是疫苗研究的重要组成部分.选择合适的佐剂不仅可以增强疫苗的免疫效果,而且可以提高机体的抵抗力.不同佐剂对体液免疫会产生不同的作用.本研究选用白油佐剂、弗氏佐剂和蜂胶佐荆与新城疫病毒抗原混合制成疫苗,免疫雏鸡,探讨不同佐剂对鸡体液免疫的影响.结果表明,三种佐剂疫苗均有保护力,试验鸡饲养至61日龄均未发生新城疫,其中弗氏佐剂的效果最好,蜂胶佐剂的效果次之,油佐剂组检测到雏鸡61日龄时仍未出现抗体高峰值.     

Study on Synergistic Effect of VA5 Immunopotentiator on Pigeon NDV Inactivated Vaccine

This study was designed to evaluate the synergistic effect of VA5 immunopotentiator on pigeon ND4416 inactivated vaccine.160 healthy pigeons were randomly divided into four groups,including ND4416 strain inactivated vaccine group (NDV group),ND4416 strain inactivated vaccine and immunopotentiator (VA5) mixed group (NDV+VA5 group),La Sota inactivated vaccine group (La Sota group) and normal saline as the control group (C group),to assess their vaccine efficacy against virulent pigeon NDV by serological analysis and animal testing.Pigeons sera were collected at different time points after immunization and measured the HI antibody titer of each group.The results showed that VA5 immunopotentiator significantly improved the serum antibody level of pigeons immunized with pigeon Newcastle disease inactivated vaccine (P<0.05).In addition,comparative test of spleen lymphocyte transformation was conducted at various time points after immunization.The results indicated that VA5 effectively stimulated the lymphocyte transformation of immune pigeon.Pigeons in each groups were challenged with ND4416 strain at the 30th,90th and 180th d after immunization.The results presented that the NDV+VA5 group had 100% protection rate and higher than La Sota group.The duration of immunization test showed that the antibody titer of NDV+VA5 group reached peak 11.20log₂ at the 21st d,remained 7.50log₂ at 180th d,and the protection rate remained 100% at 180th d.It indicated that VA5 immunopotentiator sustained the immune duration of pigeon NDV vaccine up to 180 d.Moreover,the in vitro detoxification test results suggested that VA5 immunopotentiator reduced the in vitro detoxification cycle of pigeons after challenge.Overall,this study suggested VA5 immunopotentiator could significantly improve the immune efficacy of pigeon Newcastle disease inactivated vaccine,which provided a basis for further enhancing the efficacy of Newcastle disease vaccine,as well increased experimental data for the application of immunopotentiators.
