Basic biological characterization of feline morbillivirus

Feline morbillivirus (FmoPV) is an emerging virus that was recently discovered in domestic cats with chronic nephritis. Despite the potential role of FmoPV in chronic nephritis, little is known about its biological characteristics. In this study, we established a quantitative assay of FmoPV by using an indirect immunofluorescence technique. Viral titers of FmoPV were determined in one week. Treatment with polybrene^® or trypsin which was previously used in virus isolation did not augment the virus titers. FmoPV was notably stable at 4°C, retaining high titers for at least 12 days. Heat-treatment at 60°C and 70°C effectively inactivated FmoPV in 10 and 2 min, respectively. The biological characteristics of FmoPV reported here will be beneficial for establishing an efficient virus isolation method and will provide important information to take a measure to reduce the risk of FmoPV infection.

Isolation of feline leukemia virus from clinical specimens.

Specimens obtained from feline leukemia virus (FeLV)-positive cats were examined for infectious FeLV. Feline leukemia virus was detected by a focus-forming assay and confirmed by florescent antibody. Techniques of sample processing were evaluated and adjusted for optimum detection of FeLV. Low levels of FeLV were detected in 2 of 10 oral samples; however, the majority of these samples (17 of 27 tested) produced cytopathic effects in tissue culture which prevented Fe LV detection. Three of 24 urine samples and 1 of 20 rectal specimens were positive for FeLV. One milk sample contained high levels of FeLV.

Evaluation of a novel proximity ligation assay for the sensitive and rapid detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus

A novel proximity ligation assay (PLA) using a pan-serotype reactive monoclonal antibody was developed and evaluated for the detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in clinical samples collected from field cases of disease. The FMDV-specific PLA was found to be 100 times more sensitive for virus detection than the commonly used antigen capture-ELISA (AgELISA). As few as five TCID50 were detected in individual assays, which was comparable with the analytical sensitivity of real-time RT-PCR. Although this assay was capable of detecting diverse isolates from all seven FMDV serotypes, the diagnostic sensitivity of the PLA assay was lower than real-time RT-PCR mainly due to a failure to detect some SAT 1, SAT 2 and SAT 3 FMDV strains. In conclusion, this new PLA format has high analytical sensitivity for the detection of FMDV in clinical samples and may prove valuable as a rapid and simple tool for use in FMD diagnosis.     

Comparison of serum, milk and urine as samples in an enzyme immunoassay for bovine leukaemia virus infection

Serum, milk and urine specimens were taken from 15 bovine leukaemia virus (BLV)-positive and 20 BLV-negative cattle which had been determined previously to be infected or not by the use of a monoclonal enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). An ELISA was performed on the samples for the detection of IgG₁ antibodies to the BLv surface glycoprotein, gp 51. The three types of samples had parallel optical density (OD) values apart from three urine samples which, although accepted as- negative for anti-BLv antibodies, had numerically higher ODS than those of control BLV-negative animals. Therefore, detection of IgG₁ antibodies against BLv in the urine of naturally infected animals could be an indication for the use of urine for diagnosis of BLV infection.     

An international inter-laboratory ring trial to evaluate a real-time PCR assay for the detection of bovine herpesvirus 1 in extended bovine semen

Six laboratories participated in a ring trial to evaluate the reliability of a real-time PCR assay for the detection of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) from extended bovine semen. Sets of coded samples were prepared and distributed to each of the laboratories. The sample panel contained semen from naturally and artificially infected bulls, serial dilutions of positive semen with negative semen, semen from uninfected seronegative bulls, negative semen spiked with virus, as well as serial dilutions of reference virus. The samples were tested using a previously validated real-time PCR assay for the detection of BoHV-1 in each participating laboratory. The PCR tests were conducted with four different real-time PCR amplification platforms, including RotorGene 3000, Stratagene MX 3000/4000, ABI 7900, and Roche LightCycler 2.0. Virus isolation using one set of samples was performed in one laboratory. The results of the laboratories were compared with one another, and with those of virus isolation. It was found that the sensitivity and specificity of the real-time PCR test was greater than those of virus isolation (82.7% versus 53.6% and 93.6% versus 84.6%, respectively). A high level of agreement on PCR testing results between the laboratories was achieved (kappa value 0.59-0.95). The results of this study indicate that the real-time PCR assay is suitable for the detection of BoHV-1 in extended semen, and would be a good substitute for the slow and laborious virus isolation, for the screening testing at artificial insemination centres and for international trade.
