Isolation of adenovirus from lambs with upper respiratory syndrome.

The role of viruses in the etiology of recurrent upper respiratory disease in newly weaned lambs was studied during 1984-1985 at the North Dakota Sheep Experiment Station. Serum samples collected from lambs at weaning, from lambs with signs of respiratory disease, and 3 weeks following the onset of clinical signs were tested for antibodies to ovine adenovirus (OAV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and parainfluenza type-3 virus (PI-3). Virus isolation studies were performed on nasal secretions samples taken at the same time. Parainfluenza type-3 was isolated from 1 of 275 lambs tested, and there was 2.5% overall 4-fold increase in antibody titer to PI-3 during the 2-year study. An adenovirus with a different restriction endonuclease digestion pattern from that previously reported adenovirus strains in the United States was isolated from 13 of 275 nasal secretions collected from lambs at the time of weaning. There was a 17.6% overall 4-fold increase in seroconversion to the adenovirus isolated from the lambs with clinical disease.     

Bovine adenovirus type-3 infection in feedlot calves

The frequency of bovine adenovirus type-3 (BA3) infection in 84 of 165 light feeder calves and the possible role of BA3 in inducing febrile disease and affecting weight gain performance were studied for 56 days after the calves entered a feedlot. Samples of blood for serotesting were obtained periodically, and samples for virus isolation were collected on days 28 and 56. At the time the calves entered the feedlot, 17.8% (15 of 84) had serum virus-neutralizing antibodies to BA3. During 56 days, 54.8% (46 of 84) seroconverted to BA3. Of these seroconversions, 87% took place during the first 28 days. Bovine adenovirus type-3 was isolated from 2 calves (1 isolate each on days 28 and 56). Pyrexia (greater than or equal to 39.2 C) was observed more often in BA3-infected calves than in noninfected calves. However, there was no significant (P less than 0.05) difference in weight gain between the BA3-infected and noninfected calves.     

2013－2019年广西边境地区低致病性禽流感病毒监测分析

为了解广西边境地区低致病性禽流感病毒（low pathogenic Avian influenza virus，LPAIV）的流行情况，本研究对2013-2019年在广西边境地区的规模养殖场和活禽市场采集的33 964份家禽棉拭子样品，采用鸡胚接种方法进行病毒分离，并结合血凝抑制试验和RT-PCR等方法鉴定禽流感病毒的亚型。结果显示，共有3 892份样品分离到LPAIV，2013-2019年的样品病毒分离率分别为17.39%、11.23%、13.59%、9.31%、9.09%、9.12%和15.21%，总分离率为11.46%，其中2013年样品的病毒分离率最高。分离到的LPAIV包括H1、H3、H4、H6、H9、H10和H11 7种亚型，样品病毒分离率分别为0.14%、4.37%、0.19%、4.06%、2.69%、0.01%和0.003%。其中活禽市场分离到H1、H3、H4、H6、H9、H10和H11 7种亚型流感病毒，样品病毒分离率分别为0.19%、5.53%、0.21%、5.29%、3.41%、0.01%和0.004%，总分离率为14.64%；而养殖场分离到H3、H4、H6和H9 4种亚型流感病毒，样品病毒分离率分别为1.26%、0.12%、0.79%和0.78%，总分离率为2.95%，养殖场的分离率远低于活禽市场（14.64%）。鸡源样品的病毒分离率为5.77%，水禽样品的病毒分离率为15.10%，环境样品的病毒分离率为21.67%，水禽和环境样品的病毒分离率远高于鸡。结果表明，当前广西边境地区家禽携带多种亚型LPAIV，水禽是高风险禽群，应进一步加强监测和防控；活禽市场污染严重，应进一步加强对活禽市场的监管力度，建立和实施更加科学有效的活禽市场运营机制。     

Transmission between chickens of an H7N1 Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza virus isolated during the epidemic of 1999 in Italy

The transmissibility of an H7N1 Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza (LPAI) virus isolated from a turkey flock during the large epidemic in Italy in 1999, was experimentally studied in chickens. Four group transmission experiments were performed. Infection and transmission were monitored by means of virus isolation on swab samples and antibody detection in serum samples. From the results of these groups, we estimated the mean infectious period at 7.7 (6.7-8.7) days, the transmission rate parameter at 0.49 (0.30-0.75) infections per infectious chicken per day and the basic reproduction ratio at 3.8 (1.3-6.3). These estimates can be used for the development of surveillance and control programmes of LPAI in poultry.     

Investigation of a chronic feed-passage problem on a broiler farm in northwest Arkansas.

A commercial broiler farm with a history of poor feed conversion and chronic feed-passage problems was chosen for investigation. Chickens were taken from the broiler flock at specified intervals during growout and tested by virus isolation and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for avian reovirus. Abnormal tissue pathology was first seen in the broilers at 9 days of age and continued sporadically throughout the growout period. Antireovirus antibody levels began to increase at 24 days of age. Avian reovirus and avian adenovirus was recovered at different intervals starting at 17 and 31 days of age, respectively. One-day-old specific-pathogen-free chicks housed in filtered-air positive-pressure isolation units were inoculated with two inocula recovered from the field study. Avian reovirus was recovered from the tissues of both treatment groups using chick kidney cells. Significant weight differences were seen in one of the two treatment groups. This avian reovirus was given the name SS-412.     

Evaluation of the pathogenic potential of cervid adenovirus in calves.

Four 3-month-old Jersey calves and three 3-month-old Holstein calves were inoculated with cervid adenovirus and monitored for clinical signs until necropsied between 10 and 42 days postinoculation. The neonatal Jersey calves had received colostrum, and the Holstein calves were colostrum deprived. Preinoculation and postinoculation serum samples were tested for antibodies to the cervid adenovirus, bovine adenovirus type 6, bovine adenovirus type 7, and goat adenovirus type 1. Virus isolation was performed on kidney, nasal secretion, and/or lung homogenates in fetal white-tailed deer lung cells. Negatively stained preparations of feces from Jersey calves were examined weekly using an electron microscope, and weekly blood samples were collected for complete blood counts. Full necropsies were performed on all calves. A complete selection of tissues was evaluated for microscopic changes, and immunohistochemistry was performed on all tissues using a polyclonal antibody to deer adenovirus. No clinical signs were observed in the calves during the study period. Following inoculation, colostrum-deprived calves developed low antibody titers to deer adenovirus, while the Jersey calves that received colostrum did not. Calves that received colostrum had high antibody titers to bovine adenovirus type 7 and goat adenovirus type 1. No consistent gross or microscopic lesions were seen. Adenovirus was not observed in negatively stained preparations of feces. Immunohistochemistry results did not demonstrate virus in all tissues examined microscopically, and virus was not isolated from lungs, nasal secretions, and kidneys.     

上海地区活禽批发市场H9亚型禽流感病毒调查

为弄清上海地区活禽批发市场中H9禽流感病毒（Avian influenza virus,AIV）的流行情况及鸡群的免疫情况,2009年对上海三大活禽批发市场进行了采样监测。采用HI试验检测H9 AIV抗体、荧光RT-PCR试验和鸡胚接种分离鉴定病毒。共采集110批次1 646份血样和喉头泄殖腔棉拭样品,平均抗体合格率为60.27%,分离到H9病毒134株,其中4-6月和9-11月为全年中病毒分离的2个高峰期（样品带毒率均超过了10.00%）,明显比其它月份要高（其他月份均低于5.00%）,样品带毒率平均为8.14%。不同市场、不同地区采集的样品其抗体合格率和样品的带毒率也存在一定的差异。在30批分离到病毒的样品中,13批次已免疫H9N2油乳剂灭活苗且抗体合格率均大于70.00%的样品中分离到45株病毒（45/195）,其中6批次抗体合格率达到100%的样品中也分离到了病毒（8/90）,但带毒率明显比未经疫苗免疫的样品（79/255）低。调查结果表明养殖户对肉鸡群H9N2油乳剂灭活苗免疫重视程度不够,鸡群中带毒现象较普遍。疫苗免疫后能产生较高的免疫抗体,且抗体能减轻临床症状,降低带毒率,但不能完全阻止病毒复制,存在高抗体下带毒现象。

Equine respiratory viruses in foals in New Zealand

AIMS: To identify the respiratory viruses that are present among foals in New Zealand and to establish the age at which foals first become infected with these viruses. METHODS: Foals were recruited to the study in October/ November 1995 at the age of 1 month (Group A) or in March/ April 1996 at the age of 4-6 months (Groups B and C). Nasal swabs and blood samples were collected at monthly intervals. Nasal swabs and peripheral blood leucocytes (PBL) harvested from heparinised blood samples were used for virus isolation; serum harvested from whole-blood samples was used for serological testing for the presence of antibodies against equine herpesvirus (EHV)-1 or -4, equine rhinitis-A virus (ERAV), equine rhinitis-B virus (ERBV), equine adenovirus 1 (EAdV-1), equine arteritis virus (EAV), reovirus 3 and parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV3). Twelve foals were sampled until December 1996; the remaining 19 foals were lost from the study at various times prior to this date. RESULTS: The only viruses isolated were EHV-2 and EHV-5. EHV-2 was isolated from 155/157 PBL samples collected during the period of study and from 40/172 nasal swabs collected from 18 foals. All isolations from nasal swabs, except one, were made over a period of 2-4 months from January to April (Group A), March to April (Group B) or May to July (Group C). EHV-5 was isolated from either PBL, nasal swabs, or both, from 15 foals on 32 occasions. All foals were positive for antibodies to EHV-1 or EHV-4, as tested by serum neutralisation (SN), on at least one sampling occasion and all but one were positive for EHV-1 antibodies measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on at least one sampling occasion. Recent EHV-1 infection was evident at least once during the period of study in 18/23 (78%) foals for which at least two samples were collected. SN antibodies to ERBV were evident in 19/23 (83%) foals on at least one sampling occasion and 15/23 foals showed evidence of seroconversion to ERBV. Antibodies to ERAV were only detected in serum samples collected from foals in Group A and probably represented maternally-derived antibodies. Haemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody titres 1:10 to EAdV-1were evident in 21/23 (91%) foals on at least one sampling occasion and 16/23 foals showed serological evidence of recent EAdV-1 infection. None of the 67 serum samples tested were positive for antibodies to EAV, reovirus 3 or PIV3. There was no clear association between infection with any of the viruses isolated or tested for and the presence of overt clinical signs of respiratory disease. CONCLUSIONS: There was serological and/or virological evidence that EHV-1, EHV-2, EHV-5, EAdV-1 and ERBV infections were present among foals in New Zealand. EHV-2 infection was first detected in foals as young as 3 months of age. The isolation of EHV-2 from nasal swabs preceded serological evidence of infection with other respiratory viruses, suggesting that EHV-2 may predispose foals to other viral infections.     

Salmonella surveillance in a collection of rattlesnakes (Crotalus spp.).

Over the past 15 yr, Salmonella enterica ssp. arizonae (IIIa) 56:z4,z23:- has repeatedly been isolated from individual Crotalus willardi rattlesnakes with progressively debilitating osteomyelitis at the Knoxville Zoological Gardens. In April 2004, the serotype was linked with a fatal case of septicemia in another Crotalus species in this collection. Although the association of IIIa 56:z4,z23:- with disease in this colony of C. willardi is well established, prior disease or isolation of this serotype outside of the C. willardi colony had not been documented previously, and the serotype's distribution throughout the remainder of the Crotalus collection had yet to be determined. Forty-one fecal samples were obtained from each individual (n = 36) or exhibit group (n = 5) of crotalid snakes, representing nine species, housed at the zoo. Salmonella spp. were isolated from every sample, with 21 different serotypes. The 21 serotypes were distributed among S. enterica ssp. I (24%), IIIa (9%), and IIIb (67%). Although not recovered in the primary study, S. arizonae 56:z4,z23:- was recovered from additional samples taken from two C. willardi willardi. Although the overall recovery rate of this serotype from feces has been low, it seems that its distribution among the Crotalus collection at Knoxville Zoological Gardens remains largely restricted to the C. willardi species.

Isolation of bovine coronavirus from feces and nasal swabs of calves with diarrhea.

Fecal and nasal samples were collected from 180 calves with diarrhea and 36 clinically normal co-habitants, and tested for virus using HRT-18 cell cultures derived from human rectal adenocarcinoma. A cytopathic virus was isolated from 5 fecal and 56 nasal samples obtained from diarrheic calves. All calves in which the virus was isolated from diarrheic feces were positive for virus isolation from nasal swabs. The virus was also isolated from the nasal swabs of 10 clinically normal calves that were co-habitants with diarrheic calves. Because they were morphologically similar to coronavirus, agglutinated mouse erythrocytes and serologically identical with the Nebraska calf diarrhea coronavirus, new isolates were identified as bovine coronavirus. The demonstration of viral antigens in nasal epithelial cells by a direct immunofluorescence was in close agreement with the virus isolation in HRT-18 cell cultures. This is the first report on the isolation of bovine coronavirus from newborn calves with diarrhea in Japan. The evidence that the virus was frequently isolated from nasal swabs is of great interest for understanding the pathogenesis of bovine coronavirus infection.     

Fungal flora of the healthy camelid conjunctival sac.

Swab specimens for fungal isolation were collected from the healthy conjunctival sacs of 3 species of captive camelids (Lama glama, L guanicoe, L pacos) and llama-guanaco hybrids. Fungi were collected from over half the animals in winter (53%) and summer (56%). Fungal species of 10 genera were isolated. In both seasons, Aspergillus was the most commonly isolated genus; at least 9 species of Aspergillus were found. The fungal organisms isolated were similar to those found in healthy eyes of other domestic animals and may represent a random seeding from the environment where they are ubiquitous.     

Comparison of direct colony count methods and the MPN-method for quantitative detection of Listeria in model and field conditions]

In order to compare the plate count method for quantitating Listeria, as published in the "Official Collection of Testing Methods" in section 35 LMBG (L. 00.00-22), to an MPN-method for Listeria based on the same mediums, these two detection methods for Listeria were tested in three sets of experiments and a routine sample status evaluation. A pure broth culture of L. monocytogenes, artificially with L. monocytogenes contaminated ground meat, artificially contaminated and cold stored ground meat as well as 77 ground beef samples from Berlin retail food stores were used in the four trials. The detection limit of the MPN-method is about 66% lower than the plate count method allowing detection of a clearly greater number of Listeria-positive samples from naturally contaminated ground meat. The MPN-method yielded more Listeria spp.-positive samples (rel. 43%) and more L. monocytogenes-positive samples (rel. 21%) versus the colony count method based on the results from the field trial using ground beef samples from retail food stores in Berlin. Nevertheless the standardized colony count method is preferred over the MPN-method for routine use because of its slightly higher productivity and much smaller variation in the results. However, the MPN-method is preferable for epidemiological studies because of the significance of the lower detection level. The random sampling evaluation of ground beef from retail stores indicated that 39% of the samples were Listeria spp.-positive and 31% were L. monocytogenes-positive when using the colony count method. A total of 56% of the meat samples were found to be Listeria spp.-positive and 38% L. monocytogenes-positive when the MPN-method was used. Population levels ranged from 10 to 580 cfu/g (Listeria spp.-positive samples) and from 10 to 270 cfu/g (L. monocytogenes-positive samples) for the colony count method. The MPN-method yielded population levels of 3.6 to 930 MPN/g for Listeria spp.-positive samples and 3.6 to 150 MPN/g for L. monocytogenes-positive samples. L. monocytogenes strains isolated using the colony count method belonged to the following serovars: 1/2a (46%), 1/2b (13%), 1/2c (33%), 3b (4%) and 4c (4%). A similar serovar isolation pattern was found for L. monocytogenes-positive MPN-tubes. The most common serotype was 1/2a (43%), followed by 1/2c (32%) and 1/2b (14%). The serotypes 3c, 4b and 4c were all isolated 4% of the time.     

A cross-sectional study of Salmonella in pre-slaughter pigs in a production compartment of northern Thailand

A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Salmonella and to associate management factors in fattening pigs in a production compartment of northern Thailand. A total of 194 fecal samples and 166 environmental samples were collected from 22 fattening pig herds for isolation and identification of Salmonella. An additional 427 serum samples were collected from the same herds to determine Salmonella antibodies using ELISA. A questionnaire was used to collect management factors likely to be associated with Salmonella identification. Prevalence of Salmonella in each sample and its confidence interval was adjusted for clustering by herds using linearization technique. A generalized estimating equation was used to determine the odds ratio and significance level for each management factor in a logistic regression model. Salmonella was found in all 22 study pig herds with a fecal sample prevalence of 63% (95%CI: 56-69%) and a serum sample prevalence of 72%. However, isolation results were not significantly different from ELISA results. The most isolated serotype was Salmonella Rissen (49%) followed by Salmonella Typhimurium (19%), Salmonella Stanley (12%) and Salmonella Weltevreden (4%) being significantly different in the different specimens collected (p=.024). The final logistic regression model with isolation results as outcome showed that medium herd size (OR=2.32, p=0.003), quality certification according to the Department of Livestock Development standard (OR=1.88, p=0.000), use of effective microorganisms (OR=1.51, p=0.022), slurry waste management (OR=2.17, p=0.000) and less number of pigs per pen (OR=1.12, p=0.000) were significantly associated with positive Salmonella isolation; with positive ELISA results, however, only the use of effective microorganisms was significantly associated (OR=2.63, p=0.011).     

Serological identification of avian adenoviruses isolated from cases of inclusion body hepatitis in Victoria, Australia

Sixteen avian adenoviruses isolated from 12 cases of inclusion body hepatitis (IBH), 3 cases of respiratory disease, and a case of ruptured tendons were compared using antisera raised against 9 fowl adenovirus prototype strains. Eleven isolates from livers of birds with IBH were classified into 4 different serological groups: 1) YR36 (type 7)-related; 2) HVI (type 8)-related; 3) Variants--type 6-,7-, and S-related; and 4) Type 50--not closely related to any of the prototype antisera tested. These results indicate that, as in other countries, IBH in Victoria is associated with several serologically distinct adenoviruses. The other five adenovirus isolates were found to be related to CELO (type 1).     

Isolation and identification of canine adenovirus type-2 from the upper respiratory tract of a dog

AIM: To report on the isolation and identification of canine adenovirus type-2 (CAV-2) from a greyhound dog with tracheitis/tonsillitis. METHODS: Virus isolation was performed with Madin and Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell monolayers using standard virological techniques. The isolated virus was identified by haemagglutination inhibition and serum neutralisation tests. Viral DNA was extracted from infected MDCK cells and subjected to restriction endonuclease analysis using the endonuclease enzymes Bam HI, Bgl II, Eco RI and Hind III. RESULTS: A virus, designated 5 113-87, was isolated in MDCK cells yielding typical cytopathic effect. The virus could be neutralised with a CAV-2 specific reference antiserum and also showed some cross neutralisation with CAV-1 specific reference antiserum. The virus 5 113-87 had a high haemagglutination inhibition titre with CAV-2 antiserum using human group 0 red blood-cells and CAV-1 and CAV-2 reference antisera. This virus also had DNA restriction profiles identical to those of the reference CAV-2 (Toronto A26/61), whereas previously isolated strains of adenovirus from dogs in New Zealand had DNA restriction patterns identical to the prototype CAV-1 strain (Utrecht). CONCLUSION: The findings show that the virus 5 113-87 isolated from the upper respiratory tract of a dog in New Zealand is CAV-2.     

Isolation of a bovine adenovirus serotype 10 from a calf in the United States.

Virus isolated from the lung, liver, kidney, and small intestine of a 3-month-old Holstein heifer with a clinical history of pneumonia and lesions in multiple organs was identified as an adenovirus on the basis of morphological and physicochemical characteristics. The adenovirus was determined to be a serotype 10 bovine adenovirus and represents the first reported isolation of this serotype in the United States. Inoculation of calves with this isolate resulted in mild to moderate clinical response consisting of fever, inappetence, increased respiratory rate, cough, and listlessness. Gross lesions were minimal in the respiratory tract and consisted of fibrin in the airways and small areas of consolidation in the cranial lobes of the lung. Mucofibrinous foci were present on the mucosa of the upper small intestine.     

绿壳蛋鸡青年鸡疑似心包积液——肝炎综合征的实验室诊断

2017年，在河北省涿鹿县某山间林下饲养的60～80日龄绿壳蛋鸡青年鸡突然发生大量死亡，根据其临床症状以及剖检变化初步怀疑为心包积液——肝炎综合征（hvdroericardium hepatitis syndrome，HHS）。为了进一步确诊，选择发病死亡典型病例采集样品进行细菌和病毒的分离、培养、鉴定，以及10周龄SPF鸡致病试验。结果表明，分离到3株大肠杆菌，但接种SPF鸡未出现典型临床症状和发病死亡；利用电镜观察到直径为60～80nm的圆形病毒，该病毒能够凝集大鼠红细胞；病毒分离株引起SPF鸡出现典型的心包积液一肝炎的剖检变化；经琼脂扩散试验鉴定该病毒为禽Ⅰ群腺病毒4型。     

Three serologic types of adenovirus infections of owl monkeys.

From a colony of 131 owl monkeys, adenovirus was isolated 68 times from 433 oropharyngeal and rectal swab sample pairs collected over a 2-year period. A total of 63 of 68 adenovirus isolates were grouped by neutralization into 1 of 3 types designated owl monkey adenovirus types (OMAV Ty) I, II, and III. The OMAV Ty I and Ty II were identified by neutralization with antiserum to squirrel monkey adenovirus type I and adenovirus SV-11, respectively. The OMAV Ty III was partially neutralized by antiserum to OMAV Ty II. The OMAV Ty I was isolated from 8 of 30 newly imported owl monkeys within 3 weeks of arrival. A total of 13 of 26 owl monkeys had a fourfold or greater rise in serum-neutralization (SN) titer with 25 of 27 developing SN titers of greater than or equal to 1:80. A total of 40 of 87 other owl monkeys in the colony had SN titers of greater than or equal to 1:5. The OMAV Ty II was isolated from 51 (12%) of 433 swab samples pairs. Virus was isolated from 26 owl monkeys with 13 having persistent infections. Viral isolations spanned a 10- to 17-month period for five of these owl monkeys. In 114 owl monkeys, 101 (86%) had SN titers to OMAV Ty II greater than or equal to 1:20. The OMAV Ty III was isolated from three owl monkeys. Of 114 owl monkeys, 93 (82%) had SN titers to OMAV Ty III of greater than or equal to 1:20. Although the distribution of SN titers were similar for OMAV Ty II and Ty III, 42 (37%) of 114 owl monkeys had eightfold or greater differences in SN titers between OMAV Ty II and Ty III.
