为了更好的了解我国东北地区犬细小病毒的流行情况,采用F81细胞从来自长春某宠物医院疑似患有肠炎的犬粪便样品中分离出1株病毒,经形态学、血清学、动物回归试验和分子生物学鉴定,分离的病毒为犬细小病毒new CPV-2b型,命名为CPV JL13-1。对该病毒主要结构蛋白VP2基因进行克隆测序和基因进化分析表明,CPV JL13-1分离株VP2基因与GenBank上提交的其他41株犬细小病毒株核苷酸和氨基酸均有较高的同源性,分别为98.6%~99.5%和97.6%~99.5%,其中核苷酸和氨基酸同源性最高的均为B-2004株。本研究为犬细小病毒分子流行病学调查和疫苗的研究奠定基础。     

Restriction endonuclease analysis of a porcine isolate of bovine herpesvirus type 1.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted from bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) isolated from a stillborn porcine fetus, from the Cooper reference strain of BHV-1, and from an Ontario bovine respiratory isolate. Each DNA was digested with the restriction endonucleases HindIII, EcoRI, HpaI and BamHI. Except for very minor differences in the patterns produced after digestion with EcoRI and HindIII, the DNA of the porcine isolate reacted in a similar manner to the bovine viruses, and it was concluded that the porcine virus is genetically similar to bovine isolates of BHV-1.     

Molecular characterization of a Korean bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 isolate

Bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (BPIV-3) was isolated from Korean native cattle that presented clinical signs of mild pneumonia. The complete genome of a representative isolate (12Q061) was sequenced. The newly identified strain, which was found to be distinct from the previously reported genotypes A (BPIV-3a) and B (BPIV-3b) and closely related to the Chinese strain SD0835, was tentatively classified as genotype C (BPIV-3c). Our results suggest a relationship between BPIV-3 genetic variation and the geographic location of its isolation. Identification of these new BPIV-3 genotypes may facilitate the development of improved diagnostic methods and vaccines. This is to our knowledge the first report of the identification and molecular characterization of BPIV-3 in Korea.     

Serological evidence of an Australian bovine lentivirus.

Recombinant 26 kDa capsid (CA) proteins of bovine lentiviruses, bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) and Jembrana disease virus (JDV), were expressed in Escherichia coli and utilised as antigens for an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a western immunoblot (WIB) procedure for the detection of antibody in dairy cattle in Western Australia. A total of 690 serum samples, 30 from each of 23 farms, were tested by ELISA with a JDV CA protein antigen, and antibody was detected in 3.8% (p<0.05) of the sera. Nine sera from each farm were also tested by WIB with JDV CA protein antigens and antibody was detected in 15.9% of these samples. All ELISA-positive results were also WIB-positive, and all sera antibody-positive by WIB with JDV CA protein antigens were also antibody-positive by the WIB using recombinant BIV CA antigens. This study showed that recombinant protein antigens can be used for serological tests to detect bovine lentivirus infection in Australia.     

Pathogenicity of an Indian isolate of bovine viral diarrhea virus 1b in experimentally infected calves

The aim of this study was to determine the pathogenicity of an Indian bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) 1b isolate in 7-9-months-old male calves. Infected (four) and control (two) calves were bled at three days interval for hematological, virological and serological studies until day 27. All infected calves developed respiratory illness, biphasic pyrexia, mild diarrhea, leucopenia and mild thrombocytopenia. Viraemia was demonstrated between 3 and 15dpi and the infected calves seroconverted by 15dpi. Prominent kidney lesions were endothelial cell swelling, proliferation of mesangial cells and podocytes leading to glomerular space obliteration. Degeneration and desquamation of cells lining seminiferous tubules were observed in two infected calves. Consolidation of lungs with interstitial pneumonia, mild gastroenteritis and systemic spread were also evident. It was concluded that Indian BVDV isolate induced moderate clinical disease in calves and glomerulonephritis resulting from acute BVDV infection was observed for the first time.     

Preliminary development of a live attenuated canine parvovirus vaccine from an isolate of British origin

Canine parvovirus isolated from a case of haemorrhagic enteritis in a breeding kennel in England was passaged and cloned in cultured feline and canine cells. No significant evidence of pathogenicity was found during six serial passages of the modified virus back through young dogs. The attenuated virus was excreted by inoculated animals and spread rapidly to uninoculated animals held in contact. When high titre attenuated virus was given to the six-week-old offspring of a seropositive dam a prompt seroconversion was observed. When the attenuated virus was used as an experimental vaccine in 108 pups in an infected breeding colony a highly significant improvement was obtained in the accumulated morbidity and mortality compared with a parallel group vaccinated with modified live feline panleucopenia virus.

Pathogenesis of a bovine enterovirus-1 isolate in experimentally infected calves

The pathogenesis and virulence of Bovine enterovirus-1 (BEV-1) in cattle is largely unknown. Reports concerning its virulence suggest that there might be an association between BEV-1 infections and a range of diseases in cattle that vary from respiratory to enteric to reproductive disease and infertility. In the current study, the pathogenesis associated with acute infection of BEV-1 in calves experimentally inoculated with the Oklahoma isolate of BEV-1 was described. Although interpretation of the study was limited by lack of an effective control group, results suggest that an association between inoculation of BEV-1, virus localization, and the potential development of lesions in the brain and heart probably exists. In the experiment, BEV-1 virus localized to the terminal ileum, ileocecal and cecocolonic junctions, spiral colon, and ileocecal lymph nodes; BEV-1 virus was detected in the cytoplasm of enterocytes, lamina propria macrophages, endothelium, neurons of the submucosal and myenteric plexi, and lymphocytes of the submucosal lymphoid tissue. Although no clinical signs were noted following acute infection, BEV-1 was localized in the cerebellar white matter of a calf with encephalitis and in the heart of another calf with coronary arteritis. The current study suggests that the BEV-1 isolate is infectious to young calves and that BEV-1 potentially can have a similar pathogenesis to that observed in natural or experimental enterovirus infections in other species.     

Pathogenicity of a skin isolate of porcine parvovirus in swine fetuses

The pathogenic properties of a skin isolate of porcine parvovirus (PPV), designated Kresse isolate, were compared with NADL-8 isolate, a prototype isolate of PPV, by in utero inoculation of mid-term and late-term gestation swine fetuses. Fetuses from pregnant sows of mid-gestation were inoculated with either NADL-8 or Kresse virus. Both isolates were highly pathogenic to mid-gestation fetuses. In contrast, dramatic differences in pathogenicity between these 2 isolates were observed in fetuses inoculated late in gestation. Such fetuses from each of 4 sows were inoculated with NADL-8 or Kresse virus isolate and sacrificed at 10, 18, 21, or 23 days postinoculation (PI). NADL-8-inoculated fetuses were grossly normal. The pathogenic effects of Kresse isolate were evident by gross pathology in fetuses collected at 18, 21, and 23 days PI, but not at 10 days PI. Hemagglutination (HA) and fluorescent antibody (FA) methods were used to identify virus in various tissues of late-gestation fetuses collected at 10 and 21 days PI. At 10 days PI, HA antigens were detected only in livers of NADL-8-inoculated fetuses, but in all tissues examined of Kresse-inoculated fetuses, including the brain. PPV specific fluorescence was demonstrated in tissues of fetuses inoculated with NADL-8 and Kresse virus. The major difference was that virus antigen was found in the brains of fetuses inoculated with Kresse virus, but not in NADL-8 infected fetuses. At 21 days PI, HA antigen was not detected in any of the tissues of fetuses inoculated with NADL-8 virus, with PPV specific fluorescence by FA being found only in the kidney. However, fetuses inoculated with Kresse virus displayed HA antigen in liver and PPV-specific fluorescence in all tissues tested including the brain. Both isolates induced similar antibody responses, 1:128 to 1:256 at 10 days and 1:512 to 1:1024 at 21 days PI. In addition, immunoglobulin G (IgG) deposits were demonstrated in kidneys and skin of fetuses inoculated with Kresse virus and IgM in brain, but not in tissues from fetuses inoculated with NADL-8 virus.     

Studies on the replication of a bovine parvovirus

Optimal replication of a bovine parvovirus type 1 was found to occur when parasynchronous bovine embryonic lung cells were infected during the S phase of the cell cycle, just prior to maximum DNA synthesis. Viral antigen was first detected in the cytoplasm by immunofluorescence at 8 h post-infection, reaching a maximum at this location by 16 h and then disappearing. In the nucleus, antigen was first detected at 12 h, concurrent with early inclusion body formation and first detection of intracellular virus production. Intranuclear antigen then increased rapidly to a maximum at 20 h, as the inclusions progressively matured, large amounts of virus were produced within the cell, with some release to the environment. From 24 h, the nuclear inclusions became increasingly shrunken and basophilic as virus migrated to the cytoplasm and was progressively released to the exterior concurrent with cell degeneration and fragmentation. The majority of virus remained cell associated, even at 28 h post-inoculation. Two morphological types of early and late stage intranuclear inclusions were produced by the virus, these appearing to be a distinct feature of bovine strains. In other aspects, the replication of bovine parvovirus appeared similar to that of other members of the genus.

Comparison of antigenic structure and pathogenicity of bovine intestinal Chlamydia isolate with an agent of epizootic bovine abortion.

A bovine fecal Chlamydia, isolated from a clinically normal cow, had pathogenic capabilities and antigenic structure similar to those of a chlamydial agent of epizootic bovine abortion (EBA). Intravenous inoculation of the fecal chlamydia into a pregnant heifer caused abortion and lesions in the fetus indistinguishable from those of experimentally induced EBA. In serotests with species-specific complement fixation antigens, the intestinal agent was similar to the EBA agent.     

鹅细小病毒DY16株的分子鉴定及重组分析

为了了解鹅细小病毒(goose parvovirus,GPV)田间分离株是否存在变异可能,本研究对GPV分离株DY16进行了全基因组测序和重组分析。DY16株基因组由5 046个碱基组成,与国内外的5个强毒株同源性在98.1%以上。末端倒置重复(inverted terminal repeats,ITR)由414个碱基组成,与已报道的多个GPV强毒株同样在ITR的回文区茎部存在14个碱基对缺失。Simplot软件在DY16株VP1基因内部检测到2个重组信号,序列比对显示DY16株位于重组第1区域的10个和重组第2区域8个核苷酸位点分别与匈牙利的B株和国内弱毒疫苗株SYG61v相一致,而不同于先前的国内强毒株,但均未产生氨基酸改变。不同来源毒株在VP1基因内部重组对于GPV致病性的影响有待深入探究。     

Detection of bovine herpesvirus type 1 via an immunoperoxidase method, using monoclonal antibodies

The sensitivity and specificity of the immunoperoxidase technique, using monoclonal antibodies, for the detection of bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) was assessed and compared with viral isolation methods. In this study, BHV-1 antigens were detected in impression smears of brain obtained from calves in which BHV-1 was isolated. False-positive results were not observed after double-blind examination. Preliminary identification of isolates as antigenic variants was possible by use of 3 monoclonal antibodies reactive with neurotropic and/or pneumotropic strains of BHV-1. Results were consistent with previous work in which characterization was performed by use of immunofluorescense and ELISA. The immunoperoxidase technique, using monoclonal antibodies, was determined to be specific and sensitive, compared with viral isolation, for the diagnosis of BHV-1 encephalitis. In addition, it has operative advantages in that the assay does not require tissue culture facilities, and results can be obtained within hours after specimens are obtained.     

Restriction site mapping of bovine adenovirus type 1

Physical maps of the DNA of bovine adenovirus (BAV) type 1 were established using ApaI, BamHI, BstEII, EcoRI and KpnI enzymes. The size of the viral genome was found to be around 35,000 base pairs. The orientation of the maps was determined by hybridizing Southern blots of BAV-1 DNA with the cloned hexon gene region of BAV-3.
