传染性牛鼻气管炎病毒分离鉴定及特性分析

传染性牛鼻气管炎病毒(infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus,IBRV)是牛的重要传染病病原,除能引起呼吸道疾病外,还可引起结膜炎、流产、脑炎和全身性感染。本试验从广东某牛场疑似IBRV感染牛中采取鼻拭子样品,用PCR和荧光PCR方法,初步诊断病牛感染IBRV。用MDBK细胞对初诊阳性病料进行病毒分离和鉴定,分离出1株传染性牛鼻气管炎病毒,命名为GD0109。细胞感染试验表明,该株病毒可以使MDBK细胞产生典型的圆缩、呈葡萄样聚集以及空洞等细胞病变。将GD0109与强毒的ATCCVR-2112TM株感染细胞裂解液分别接种MDBK细胞并盲传5代,对5代、10代、15代的病毒分别进行TCID50测定及中和试验,结果表明分离株和参考株VR-2112TM相似,提示该分离株为强毒株,并且具有良好的传代稳定性,为进一步疫苗生产打下良好的基础。     

Isolation of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus from a latently infected feral pig

Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus was isolated from the trigeminal ganglion of a feral pig after dexamethasone treatment. Three pigs inoculated intranasally with the IBR virus did not respond clinically or serologically. The virus was re-isolated from tonsillar swabs from two animals on Post-Infection Day (PID) 3.     

Survival of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus in stored bovine semen

No loss in the titre of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus was found during storage in semen at –196°C for 1 year.     

Enhancement of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis by modified-live infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus vaccine

The effects of a modified-live infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus vaccine (administered ocularly or intranasally) on experimentally induced infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis were evaluated. The modified-live infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus vaccine was administered to 13 male Holstein calves (intranasally in 4 and ocularly in 9; day 0). Five calves were not vaccinated and served as controls. Calves were examined daily and, starting on day 4, Moraxella bovis was administered ocularly to all 18 calves once daily for 4 days. The eyes of all calves were assigned a clinical score, and the ocular secretions were evaluated for presence of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus and M bovis daily until day 19. The severity of the ocular lesions was estimated by scoring the lesions clinically and by determining the protein concentration, myeloperoxidase activity, and WBC count in the tears. By day 5, conjunctivitis, chemosis, and epiphora were observed in all of the calves vaccinated ocularly. The calves vaccinated intranasally developed conjunctival plaques, but did not develop chemosis or photophobia. All of the calves developed keratitis after inoculation with M bovis. The median lesion scores were greater in both groups of vaccinated calves than in the controls. Corneal perforations developed exclusively in the vaccinated calves. The frequency of M bovis isolation from ocular secretions was significantly (P less than 0.05) greater in the vaccinated calves than in the controls. The tears from the intranasally vaccinated calves contained the highest myeloperoxidase activity and WBC count. The mean protein concentration in the tears of vaccinated calves was not significantly different from that in tears of controls.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Reactivation of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus by transport

Transport was studied as a cause of reactivation of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (Bovine herpesvirus-1; BHV-1) in heifers vaccinated 2-6 months before transport, using a double dose of the thermosensitive (ts) vaccine strain (Tracherine). Eight out of 19 animals showed ts strain re-excretion over a period of 1-3 days, beginning, in 5 out of the 8 heifers, the day after transport. In 14 other heifers, only sera were examined by sero-neutralisation: only 1 out of these 14 animals showed a rise in BHV-1 neutralising antibodies. Transport can therefore be considered as a stimulus of BHV-1 reactivation.     

新疆阿克苏地区牛传染性鼻气管炎病毒与牛副流感病毒3型感染的检测

为调查阿克苏地区是否存在牛传染性鼻气管炎病毒(IBRV)与牛副流感病毒3型(BPIV-3)的感染,从阿克苏两个规模化奶牛场采集1月龄以内可疑发病犊牛鼻液样品18份,采用双抗体夹心ELISA方法检测两种病毒的抗原,PCR方法检测牛传染性鼻气管炎病毒gD基因,RT-PCR方法检测牛副流感病毒3型的gM基因。结果表明,ELISA方法检测IBRV和BPIV-3的感染率分别为22.22%和0%;PCR方法检测IBRV的感染率为72.22%;RT-PCR检测BPIV-3的感染率为44.44%;同时患有两种病毒的检出率为22.22%。说明在阿克苏地区存在IBRV与BPIV-3的感染,且存在两种病毒的双重感染。     

Enhancement of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus replication with corticosterone

Infectious bovine rhinotrachetis virus (IBRV) progeny was increased ten to 12 fold in bovine turbinate (BT) cells treated with 10^?3 M corticosterone acetate (CCA) as demonstrated by plaque assay. Autoradiographic studies demonstrated an increased binding of ³H-corticosterone (³H-CS) in IBRV infected cells and the fractionation of labelled cells revealed 78–80% of the total hormone associated with the cytoplasmic components. Incorporation of ³H-uridine and ³H-valine precursors into cells treated with the hormone demonstrated up to 16-fold increase in RNA and protein synthesis which was inhibited by the addition of actinomycin D. The data suggest that increased rate of macromolecular synthesis in IBRV infected cells treated with the corticosteroid may result in the enhancement of virus production.     

Demonstration of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus antigen in paraffin sections

Nine pregnant heifers were inoculated intravenously with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV) in the sixth month of pregnancy. Tissues were collected from the fetus of a heifer killed 13 days postinoculation (PI), from fetuses of 6 heifers that aborted 16-27 days PI, and from mummified fetuses of 2 heifers that aborted 53 and 85 days PI, respectively. Control tissues were obtained from the fetus of a non-inoculated heifer that was killed in the seventh month of gestation. Tissues were fixed in 10% formalin, embedded in paraffin, and examined for viral antigen by immunohistochemistry, using biotinylated second antibody and alkaline phosphatase-labeled avidin-biotin complex. Antigen was detected in at least 1 tissue from the fetus of each inoculated heifer. Positive tissues included lung, liver, spleen, kidney, adrenal, and placenta. In several fetuses, antigen was identified in tissues from which virus was not isolated in cell culture. This appeared to occur when tissues had only a few small foci of infection or when tissues were severely autolyzed. The observation of viral antigen in tissues from mummified fetuses indicates that this technique may be useful in diagnostic laboratories to detect IBRV infection in tissues that are not suitable for virus isolation or for examination by the cryostat tissue section-fluorescent antibody technique.
