福建省羊传染性脓疱病毒F1L、B2L和VIR基因的遗传变异分析

为探明2014年-2015年在福建省流行的羊传染性脓疱病毒(ORFV)遗传变异情况,对10株ORFV流行毒株的F1L、B2L和VIR基因进行克隆、测序及分析。结果表明,10株ORFV F1L基因之间的核苷酸序列同源性为97.6%~100%,与国内株的核苷酸序列同源性为96.8%~99.7%,与NZ2参考株的核苷酸序列同源性为96.3%~97.1%;同NZ2参考株比较,FJ-YT2014缺失2个氨基酸;10株ORFV B2L基因之间核苷酸序列同源性为97.5%~99.9%,与国内株的核苷酸序列同源性为96.7%~99.5%,与NZ2参考株的核苷酸序列同源性为96.7%~97.7%;10株ORFV VIR基因之间的核苷酸序列同源性为95.8%~99.5%,与国内株的核苷酸序列同源性为94.6%~99.6%,与NZ2参考株的核苷酸序列同源性为94.6%~96.4%。基于基因核苷酸序列的遗传进化分析表明,10株ORFV F1L基因与福建省分离株、山西株和新疆株亲缘关系较近;10株ORFV B2L基因与新疆、山西、德国毒株亲缘关系较近;10株ORFV VIR基因与台湾、新疆株亲缘关系较近。结果提示,当前福建省流行的ORFV F1L、B2L和VIR基因尚未出现明显变异,但是其F1L、B2L和VIR基因核苷酸序列之间普遍存在异质性。     

Unsaturated vitamin b(12) binding capacity in human and ruminant blood serum - a comparison of techniques including a new technique by high performance liquid chromatography

A new technique by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC-gel permeation) shows promise as a tool to separate and quantitate the Unsaturated Vitamin B(12) Binding Capacity (UBSC) of the individual Vitamin B(12) binders in blood serum. This method, although not as rapid as protein-coated charcoal or cellulose separation techniques, is more applicable for use with large numbers of samples than gel filtration. The use of a radioactivity detector to monitor the eluant from the column permitted automation of the method. Comparable results for UBBC and for the UBBC of individual binders were obtained when samples were analyzed by gel filtration and HPLC. The HPLC method proved suitably precise and the recovery of added cyanocobalamin was acceptable. It is proposed that HPLC be the method of choice for measurement of the USBC of binders of Vitamin B(12) in blood serum.

Serum cobalamin concentrations in healthy cats and cats with non-alimentary tract illness in Australia

Objective   To determine a reference range for serum cobalamin concentration in healthy cats in Australia using a chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay and to prospectively investigate the prevalence of hypocobalaminaemia in cats with non-alimentary tract disease.
Design   Prospective study measuring serum cobalamin concentrations in clinically healthy cats and cats with non-alimentary tract illness.
Procedure   Blood was collected from 50 clinically healthy cats that were owned by staff and associates of Veterinary Specialist Services or were owned animals presented to Creek Road Cat Clinic for routine vaccination. Blood was collected from 47 cats with non-alimentary tract illness presented at either clinic. Serum cobalamin concentration was determined for each group using a chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay.
Results   A reference range for Australian cats calculated using the central 95th percentile in the 50 clinically healthy cats was 345 to 3668 pg/mL. Median serum cobalamin concentration in 47 cats with non-alimentary tract illness (1186 pg/mL; range 117–3480) was not significantly different to the median serum cobalamin of the 50 healthy cats (1213 pg/mL, range 311–3688). Using the calculated reference range one sick cat with non-alimentary tract illness had a markedly low serum cobalamin concentration.
Conclusion   Although hypocobalaminaemia is uncommon in sick cats with non-alimentary tract illness in Australia, its occurrence in this study warrants further investigation.

Orf virus circulation in cattle in Turkey

Orf virus (ORFV) causes contagious skin disease that mainly affects sheep and goats with zoonotic potential. However, there is not enough information about the association between ORFV and occurrence of skin disease in cattle. The present study describes outbreaks of ORFV infection in cattle in different provinces that are located in the Aegean, Central Anatolian and Mediterranean regions of Turkey. During the months of June and August 2017, vesicular fluid and scab samples were collected from cattle which had proliferative skin lesions. First, presence of lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) and bovine herpesvirus 2 (BoHV-2, known as the causative agent of pseudo-lumpy skin disease) were investigated by real time PCR and PCR, respectively. Then, samples tested for the presence of parapoxviruses by PCR using primers specific to major envelope protein gene (B2L). Parapoxvirus DNA was detected in investigated samples whereas LSDV and BoHV-2 DNA were not detected. The analysis of the B2L gene sequences revealed that cattle were infected with ORFV. The isolates in the present study shared 100% sequence identity at the nucleotide and amino acid level when compared with previously characterised Turkish field ORFV isolates from goats in 2016. Results of the study show unusual infection of cattle with ORFV, and suggest that ORFV jumps the host species barrier from goats to cattle.
