Swine fever. Immunisation of piglets

Vaccination against Swine Fever using the CL Chinese strain can be done in 7-day-old piglets if they are born of non-immune sows. The simultaneous weaning and vaccination emphasises the safety of this strain. The excellent immunity observed confirms the immunocompetence of 7-day-old piglets. In piglets born of immune sows and also weaned at 7 days, passive protection can extend beyond the age of 2 months if the sow is vaccinated several months prior to gestation. The immune level of the piglets would seem to depend on the interval between vaccination of the sow and farrowing and can be attributed to the quality of the antibodies transmitted by the colostrum. Piglets born of sows vaccinated 10 months prior to farrowing can be vaccinated as early as 5 weeks; the protection percentage observed at the age of about 6 months is over 80%. A booster injection at this age then confers immunity to future breeders throughout their economic life, i.e. 4 years in the reported experiment.     

Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis: Bacteriologic,immunologic, and clinical responses of cattle to experimental exposure with Moraxella bovis

The bacteriologic, immunologic, and clinical responses of 3- to 4-month old Holstein-Friesian calves to experimental exposure with Moraxella bovis type 10900 has been investigated. After u.v. radiation and intraconjunctival exposure with 1.9 × 10⁷ microorganisms, each eye of 16 calves exhibited signs of blepharospasm, photophobia, and increased lacrimation. Bacteria were recovered from exposed eyes for 2–7 consecutive weeks before maximal clinical response occurred. The severity of the cases varied from eyes that exhibited mild signs to severe clinical cases with profuse lacrimation, conjunctival swelling, corneal opacity, and ulceration. By 70 days after exposure, M. bovis could not be recovered from any conjunctival swabs, and clinical signs were not observed. Four non-exposed control animals did not develop clinical signs nor was M. bovis recovered from conjunctival swabs.Lacrimal secretions collected at the time of and 1 week after maximal clinical response had significantly elevated levels of total protein as compared to those collected 3, 2, and 1 week before, and 2 and 3 weeks after maximal clinical response. A passive hemagglutination test, using tanned formalized sheep erythrocytes sensitized with M. bovis sonicate antigen, detected antibody in lacrimal secretions from 22 of 32 eyes. The appearance of specific antibody in lacrimal secretions correlated with the amelioration of clinical signs and the decline in numbers of M. bovis microorganisms recovered from conjunctival swabs.     

Listeriosis in sheep. Listeria monocytogenes excretion and immunological state in healthy sheep.

Listeriosis in sheep. Listeria monocytogenes excretion and immunological state in healthy sheep. Acta vet. scand. 1979, 20, 168–179. — The excretion of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) in the faeces and milk, and humoral and cell mediated immunity against Lm, were examined in a sheep flock where no cases of listeriosis had occurred during the last 3 years. The investigation was carried out during the indoor season. During the first part of the season 2 of the 10 pregnant, 8 months old lambs excreted Lm in the faeces, but none of the 106 ewes, 2–10 years old. At lambing the organism was isolated from the faeces of 6 of the 10 1 year old lambs and from 64% of the ewes, and from the milk of 1 of the lambs and 41% of the ewes. Nearly all the isolates (98.5%) belonged to serotype 1.Antibody titres against Lm were found in sera and whey by an indirect haemagglutination method. The titres were higher for the ewes than for the hoggs and seemed to be influenced by the number of foetuses the animals carried.Cell mediated immunity was determined by a skin test where delayed hypersensitivity against an antigen prepared from Lm, was measured. Animals fed grass silage had a stronger reaction than animals fed hay, and a stronger reaction was found in animals with ≥ 3 foetuses than in the remainder.The investigation indicates that even in a healthy sheep flock all the animals may be exposed to Lm, and the majority may be latent carriers and excrete this organism in the faeces and milk during periods of stress.     

Measurement of serum IgG in foals by radial immunodiffusion and automated turbidimetric immunoassay

Hypogammaglobulinemia as a result of failure of transfer of passive immunity (FTPI) is an important risk factor for infectious disease in neonatal foals. The current gold standard for determining serum immunoglobulin concentrations is radial immunodiffusion (RID). The purpose of this study was to compare immunoglobulin concentrations measured by RID with those determined by an automated turbidimetric immunoassay (TIA), which has a much shorter turnaround time. Immunoglobulin concentrations were measured by both RID and TIA in serum collected from 84 neonatal foals. Sixty-seven foals had results within the linear range for both assays. Sensitivity and specificity of TIA for diagnosis of FTPI with IgG < or = 800 mg/dL were 0.81 (95% CI 0.70-0.88) and 0.86 (95% CI 0.76-0.93) and with IgG < or = 400 mg/dL were 0.63 (95% CI 0.35-0.86) and 0.92 (95% CI 0.87-0.95), respectively. A significant linear relationship was found between IgG concentrations determined by TIA and RID (TIA = 0.9511RID + 8.4354; R2 = .59, P < .0001). The coefficients of variation for between-run and within-run precision for the TIA were 2.5 and 3%, respectively. Storage of samples from 10 foals at -20 degrees C for 10-12 months resulted in a reduction in TIA-measured serum IgG concentration of -17.6% (SD = 3.7%), indicating that long-term storage of samples at -20 degrees C should be avoided. The results of this study indicate that measurement of serum IgG by TIA can be used to evaluate foals for FTPI.

Enzyme treatment of Trypanosoma danilewskyi (Laveran and Mesnil) increases its susceptibility to lysis by the alternative complement pathway of goldfish, Carassius auratus (L.)

This study examined whether in vitro-cultured Trypanosoma danilewskyi were susceptible to lysis in the presence or absence of anti-parasite antibodies and complement. Cultured trypanosomes were resistant to lysis by either immune or non-immune goldfish serum. However, trypanosomes treated with the proteolytic enzyme trypsin, which destroys surface proteins of the parasites, became susceptible to lysis when exposed to either immune or non-immune goldfish serum. The lysis by goldfish serum was dependent on the presence of heat-labile factors and occurred at 4 and 20 degrees C. The lysis was also dependent on the presence of Mg(2+) ions but not Ca(2+) ions. Furthermore, treatment of the parasites with different sialidases did not enhance their susceptibility to lysis by goldfish serum. Trypsinized parasites regained resistance to lysis after at least 6-h cultivation in the absence of trypsin and the restoration of full resistance was observed after 24-h cultivation. The resistance to lysis was abrogated when the protein synthesis inhibitor, puromycin, was added to the cultures. These results suggest that trypsinized trypanosomes were susceptible to lysis by goldfish complement (alternative pathway) and that protective surface proteins of the parasite were required for the resistance of normal trypanosomes to lysis.

用饲料酵母替代鱼粉对大菱鲆幼鱼生长及免疫机能的影响

分别用质量分数为0、15%、30%、45%、60%的饲料酵母替代饲料中0、17%、34%、51%、68%的鱼粉,配制成5种等氮、等能的试验饲料,分别记为Ⅰ（对照组）、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ和Ⅴ组。将195尾大菱鲆Scophthatmus maximus（9.02 g±0.15 g）随机分为5组,每组设3个重复,每个重复组放养13尾鱼。将试验鱼饲养于设有循环流水系统的水族箱（60 cm×40 cm×50 cm）中,用5种饲料投喂,每天投喂3次,投饲率为鱼体质量的3%～4%,以生长及免疫指标来评价饲料酵母替代鱼粉对大菱鲆幼鱼生长的影响。经过56 d的饲养,结果表明：Ⅱ组的增重率（275.30%）和特定生长率（1.91%/d）最高,但与对照组（235.66%、1.82%/d）无显著差异（P〉0.05）;Ⅱ组的饲料系数（1.34）最低,但与对照组（1.53）无显著差异（P〉0.05）;Ⅱ组（97.44%）和Ⅳ组（94.87%）的成活率均显著高于对照组（84.62%）（P〈0.05）,而Ⅴ组的成活率（74.36%）则显著低于对照组（P〈0.05）;鱼体的粗蛋白含量随着饲料酵母替代比例的增加而逐渐降低（P〈0.05）,粗灰分则逐渐升高（P〈0.05）;溶菌酶、超氧化物歧化酶和血浆中蛋白的含量随着替代比例的增加而减少,且当饲料酵母替代比例超过51%时,与对照组差异显著（P〈0.05）。综合考虑大菱鲆的生长指标、形体指标、鱼体成分和免疫机能等因素,要获得最佳的养殖效益,大菱鲆幼鱼饲料中用饲料酵母替代鱼粉的比例以17%为宜。
