| african swine fever. i. morphological changes and virus replication in blood platelets of pigs infected with virulent haemadsorbing and non-haemadsorbing isolates. | replicating and mature viral particles were detected with the transmission electron microscope in blood platelets of pigs infected with virulent haemadsorbing and non-haemadsorbing african swine fever virus isolates. although platelet numbers decreased terminally in infected pigs, the most noticeable morphological damage to these cells apparent in the last 2 days of the disease included cytoplasmic swelling, vacuolation, fragmentation and loss of dense granules. | 1986 | 3763165 |
| a novel selective broad-spectrum anti-dna virus agent. | a new compound has been found, (s)-9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine ((s)-hpmpa), that has potent and selective activity against a broad spectrum of dna viruses, including herpes simplex virus (types 1 and 2); varicella zoster virus; thymidine kinase-deficient (tk-) mutants of herpes simplex and varicella zoster virus; human cytomegalovirus; phocid, simian, suid, bovid and equid herpesviruses; african swine fever virus; vaccinia virus; and human adenoviruses. it is also active again ... | 1986 | 3762696 |
| neutralization of african swine fever virus by sera from african swine fever-resistant pigs. | sera from african swine fever-resistant pigs with infection-inhibitory activity decreased virus replication in infected porcine buffy coat cultures. this same effect was observed even after virus was adsorbed. the infection-inhibition was not reversed by removing the immune serum from the assay cultures. reduction of african swine fever virus replication by immune sera was demonstrated by fluorescent focus assay on ms cell line cultures. virus-neutralization tests showed a persistent fraction of ... | 1986 | 3752695 |
| inhibition of african swine fever infection in the presence of immune sera in vivo and in vitro. | in assay cultures, sera from african swine fever convalescent pigs inhibited infection by homologous african swine fever virus. the infection-inhibition capacity did not correspond with the virus-neutralizing capacity. the serum did not prevent infection by heterologous virulent viruses. sera from pigs challenge inoculated with the homologous virulent virus and later with a heterologous virulent virus inhibited the infection by different heterologous virulent viruses. these sera did not interfer ... | 1986 | 3729125 |
| african swine fever virus gene expression in infected vero cells. | polypeptides synthesized in vero cells infected with african swine fever virus (asfv) can be divided into early and late classes on the basis of their sensitivity to cytosine arabinoside. as asfv does not inhibit cell protein synthesis until late in infection, immunoprecipitation was used to identify virus-specific polypeptides. eighteen early and 15 late polypeptides were detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. early polypeptides can be further divided into those which are transiently e ... | 1986 | 3723111 |
| new agents active against african swine fever virus. | actinobolin, atropine, carrageenan, megalomycin c, suramin, and tetracenomycin c were tested for their activity against african swine fever virus replication. both viral inhibitory potency and cytotoxicity were investigated. megalomycin c, suramin, atropine, and carrageenan exhibited significant activity. megalomycin c was the most active of the four agents with respect to the concentration of compound that blocked the formation of infectious virus by 50%. suramin was the next most active agent ... | 1986 | 3717934 |
| glycosylated components of african swine fever virus particles. | extracellular african swine fever (asf) virus particles were specifically agglutinated by several lectins, suggesting the presence of surface glycosylated component(s) containing at least glucose, mannose, or both; galactose, n-acetylgalactosamine, or both; n-acetylneuraminic acid and n-acetylglucosamine, but not fucose. when virions were purified from infected vero cells labeled with [14c]glucosamine, [14c]galactose and analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, no major structural glycopr ... | 1986 | 3716204 |
| transcription and translation maps of african swine fever virus. | a transcription map of african swine fever (asf) virus dna was obtained by hybridization of 32p-labeled early and late rnas synthesized in vero cells infected with asf virus to dot-blots containing cloned restriction fragments spanning the viral genome. early rnas synthesized in infected cells in the presence of protein or dna synthesis inhibitors hybridized preferentially to four regions in the genome, with coordinates e1 (0-51.9 kbp), e3 (63.7-75.2 kbp), e5 (100.1-111.6 kbp), and e7 (150-170 k ... | 1986 | 3716203 |
| [control of the european hog cholera with regard to new european community regulations. changes in state preventive measures relating to district vaccinations]. | since the end of 1982 classical swine fever has again occurred in the federal republic of germany. there was an increasing trend until the middle of 1984. the number of cases increased above all in the northwest of the federal republic, the area with a high pig density. in mid-1984 it was decided in the federal republic to carry out for the first time a large-scale systematic vaccination of all pigs in a certain heavily affected area--similar to what is done in the netherlands--apart from the tr ... | 1986 | 3715854 |
| inactivation and inhibition of african swine fever virus by monoolein, monolinolein, and gamma-linolenyl alcohol. brief report. | monoolein, monolinolein and (most strongly) gamma-linolenyl alcohol inactivate asf virus and inhibit its replication in vero cells at 25 micrograms/ml while at 10 micrograms/ml no inactivation occurs but inhibition of replication in tissue culture is observed. this suggests two possibly different action mechanisms. | 1986 | 3707358 |
| establishment of a vero cell line persistently infected with african swine fever virus. | a vero cell line persistently infected with african swine fever virus was established by infecting the cells in the presence of 10 mm nh4cl (vero-p cell line). the virus derived from the vero-p cultures infected vero cells, and virus titers were comparable to those obtained in vero cells acutely infected with african swine fever virus. the structural proteins of the virus from vero-p cells were similar to those of the virus produced in lytic infections. virus production was low when the vero-p c ... | 1986 | 3701926 |
| dna-binding proteins specified by african swine fever virus. | [35s]methionine-labeled proteins from total or cytoplasmic extracts of vero cells infected with african swine fever virus were chromatographed on native and denatured dna-cellulose and dna-binding proteins were analyzed by sds-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-page), by dna binding to western blots, or by two-dimensional electrophoresis. thirteen virus-specific dna-binding proteins were detected by one-dimensional analysis. major species have molecular mass 44,000 (44k), 38k, 20k, 18k, 14k ... | 1987 | 3686826 |
| synthesis of african swine fever (asf) virus-specific antibodies in vitro in a porcine leucocyte system. | we have developed a system of porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells for the synthesis of antibodies in vitro, induced by partially purified african swine fever virus particles inactivated with formaldehyde. the antibodies synthesized were detected by a radioimmunoassay with a sensitivity of 3 ng of immunoglobulin. primary responses were dependent on supernatants from peripheral blood mononuclear cells incubated with concanavalin a, macrophages and t lymphocytes. secondary responses did not ... | 1987 | 3679284 |
| in vitro immune serum-mediated protection of pig monocytes against african swine fever virus. | serum samples from pigs that had recovered from infection with a dominican republic isolate of african swine fever virus (asfv) were mixed with dilutions of the virus, then assayed in microcultures of normal pig mononuclear leukocytes to determine whether the samples contained antibodies that protected monocytes against the virus. protection was determined by the difference in titer (log10) between virus mixed with healthy pig serum and virus mixed with immune pig serum, using 50% cytopathogenic ... | 1987 | 3631688 |
| proteins synthesized in african swine fever virus-infected cells analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. | at least 74 acidic and 37 basic proteins are synthesized in african swine fever virus (asfv)-infected monkey cells not detected in uninfected cells analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. essentially all the proteins synthesized early during infection are also observed at late times. the use of inhibitors such as cycloheximide and phosphonoacetate has led to the identification of 34 immediate early and 13 delayed early polypeptides. therefore 64 proteins were classified as late polypept ... | 1987 | 3629977 |
| [oral immunization of suckling piglets against classic swine fever]. | attempts were made to immunize suckling pigs against classic swine fever. the pigs were treated orally, originating from sows which were immunized on the 30th-40th and the 90th-100th day of pregnancy, as well as from sows which were vaccinated one month prior to impregnation. a bulgarian lapinized k vaccine and a soviet lk-vniivvim cell culture were used (immunization being carried out 1-2 hours before the newborns were allowed to suck) at the rate of 150 doses for both vaccines. it was demonstr ... | 1987 | 3629951 |
| in vivo and in vitro effects of moderately virulent african swine fever virus on mitogenesis of pig lymphocytes. | six pigs were infected oro-nasally with a moderately virulent african swine fever (asf) virus from the dominican republic (dr ii). the effect of virus infection on the pig's immune system was tested by measuring peripheral leucocyte numbers and the ability of mononuclear leucocytes (mnl) to respond by lymphocyte proliferation (lp) to the mitogens phytohemagglutinin-p (pha-p), concanavalin-a (con-a), and pokeweed mitogen (pwm). all 6 pigs developed high viremias between 4 and 18 days post-inocula ... | 1987 | 3629941 |
| african swine fever. ii. functional disturbances of thrombocytes in pigs infected with virulent haemadsorbing and non-haemadsorbing virus isolates. | increased bleeding time, impaired blood clot retraction and decreased thrombocyte aggregation were observed in pigs infected with virulent haemadsorbing and non-haemadsorbing african swine fever virus isolates. these changes appeared to be more frequent and more severe in pigs infected with the haemadsorbing virus isolates than in those infected with the non-haemadsorbing isolate. moreover, the onset and severity of these changes followed the numerical decrease and morphological damage to these ... | 1987 | 3627730 |
| [trial of the intensity and duration of swine fever immunity in pigs]. | comparative testing of the intensity and the continuity of immunity against swine fever was carried out with pigs producers of serum against edema disease and swine erysipelas, vaccinated with an untreated and a freeze-dried k vaccine. control infection studies revealed that serum-producing pigs with regard to edema disease, immunized with a freeze-dried and an untreated lapinized k vaccine, could acquire sufficiently stable immunity from the 6th to the 9th month following immunization both in t ... | 1987 | 3617486 |
| influence of the vaccination regime on the herd immune response for swine fever. | surveys in three areas with emergency vaccination programmes revealed that 86-94% of the pigs vaccinated in the initial mass campaign had developed an adequate antibody titre against swine fever as compared with 29-55% of the pigs involved in supplementary vaccination campaigns. the serological response of piglets born from immunised sows rose with the age of vaccination from 11% at 5-6 weeks to 42% at 7-8 weeks and 77% at 9-10 weeks. in piglets born from immunised sows, a 50% 'take' of the vacc ... | 1987 | 3551318 |
| [differentiation of strains of the swine fever virus depending on their temperature resistance at 56 degrees c and on the size of fluorescent plaques]. | in vitro and in vivo experiments were carried out to differentiate the virulent swine fever virus strain vratsa and the vaccinal strains k and vp with regard to their resistance at 56 degrees c and to the size of the fluorescent plaques. the results obtained were comparable. the virulent strain was found to retain its viability at temperature of 56 degrees c for 30 min. the heated virus formed large, strongly fluorescent plaques in the infected cell cultures of pig kidney. the fluorescent cells ... | 1986 | 3544472 |
| identification of african swine fever viral antigens in the hemolymph of soft ticks (argasidae: ornithodoros) by the immunodot blot test. | the immunodot blot test was used to identify african swine fever virus (asfv) antigens in the hemolymph from soft ticks (ornithodoros coriaceus) fed on asfv-infected pigs. the immunodot blot test was sensitive and specific for asfv antigens and has potential field application. hemolymph from field-collected ticks can be screened for asfv and a variety of other tick-borne pathogens using this test. | 1986 | 3532842 |
| a micromethod for measuring swine fever antibody by neutralisation and immunofluorescence. | a micromethod employing the neutralisation and direct immunofluorescence technique for the detection of antibodies against swine fever in pig serum samples is described. the micromethod is simple and reproducible when compared with the macromethod. a total of 80 blood samples were randomly collected for comparison. the results are promising and reveal a 100 per cent correlation with the macrotechnique. | 1986 | 3526486 |
| in vitro and in vivo association of african swine fever virus with swine erythrocytes. | the association of african swine fever virus (asfv) with swine erythrocytes in vivo, in high titers, was verified by inoculating 30 pigs with 17 asfv isolates and assaying their plasma and washed erythrocyte fractions for residual virus. viral antigens were specifically localized on the surface of in vitro and in vivo swine erythrocytes, using the fluorescent antibody technique and 3 monoclonal antibodies specific for asfv. the same monoclonal antibodies immunoprecipitated virus-specific polypep ... | 1986 | 3521406 |
| two-dimensional analysis of african swine fever virus proteins and proteins induced in infected cells. | two-dimensional (2d) analysis of african swine fever (asf) virus purified by percoll gradient centrifugation resolves 54 structural proteins, 30 in conventional ief gels and 24 in nephge gels, while only 26 structural proteins are separated by sds-page. the two main bands separated by sds-page, with mol wt 150k and 72k, correspond to single spots in 2d gels. other bands, including major bands of 38k, 35k, 24k, 17k, and 15.5k mol wt, correspond to multiple proteins of the same molecular weight bu ... | 1986 | 3521071 |
| localization of structural proteins in african swine fever virus particles by immunoelectron microscopy. | seven african swine fever virus structural proteins were localized in the virion by immunoelectron microscopy. african swine fever virus-infected cells were incubated, before or after embedding and thin sectioning, with monoclonal antibodies specific for different structural proteins, and after labeling with protein a-gold complexes, the samples were examined in the electron microscope. proteins p14 and p24 were found in the external region of the virion, proteins p12, p72, p17, and p37 were fou ... | 1986 | 3517383 |
| modulation of porcine peripheral blood-derived macrophage functions by in vitro infection with african swine fever virus (asfv) isolates of different virulence. | macrophages play an important role in defense against invading pathogens and neoplastic diseases. their ability to maintain their functional characteristics is also important in the survival of the host. loss of macrophage function during infection may be important in determining resistance or susceptibility of a host species. in this communication, we describe the effect of asfv replication, in macrophages in vitro, on the functional characteristics of these cells. infection with asfv did not a ... | 1987 | 3509675 |

| comparative efficacy of broad-spectrum antiviral agents as inhibitors of african swine fever virus replication in vitro. | various nucleoside analogues, selected on the basis of their previously established broad-spectrum antiviral properties, were evaluated for their potency and selectivity as inhibitors of the in vitro replication of the iridovirus, african swine fever virus (asfv). the test compounds included (s)-9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine [(s)-hpmpa], 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine, (rs)-3-adenin-9-yl-2-hydroxypropanoic acid isobutyl ester, (s)-9-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)adenine, carbocyclic ... | 1987 | 3475038 |
| phosphonylmethoxyalkylpurines and -pyrimidines as inhibitors of african swine fever virus replication in vitro. | several phosphonylmethoxyalkylpurine and -pyrimidine derivatives related to (s)-9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine [(s)-hpmpa] and 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine (pmea) were evaluated as inhibitors of african swine fever virus (asfv) replication in vero cells. (s)-hpmpa has previously been shown to inhibit asfv replication at a minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) of 0.01 microgram/ml with a selectivity index of 15000. of the new compounds tested, the following emerged as the ... | 1987 | 3451699 |
| recurrent viruses in a singapore intensive pig farming estate. | the ponggol intensive pig farming estate was conceived approximately 10 years ago to accommodate pig farms resettled from water catchment areas. initially stocking density of the estate was 1300-1500 pigs per hectare (ha) and the total pig population in the estate was 200,000. over the past 10 years the numbers of pigs have increased to 400,000 and the stocking density of the big commercial units have increased to 1500-2500 per ha. with such intensive methods of husbandry environmental problems ... | 1987 | 3446006 |

| outbreaks of classical swine fever in great britain in 1986. | classical swine fever was confirmed in 10 herds in britain between april 10 and june 25, 1986 and typical acute disease was seen in nine of them. serological evidence of exposure to classical swine fever virus was found in a further seven herds which, together with another nine, were slaughtered as dangerous contacts. altogether 7781 pigs in 26 herds were slaughtered at a cost of 450,101 pounds for compensation alone. in order to detect subclinical disease, the majority of traced herds were bloo ... | 1988 | 3420768 |
| isolation of african swine fever virus from ticks of the ornithodoros moubata complex (ixodoidea: argasidae) collected within the african swine fever enzootic area of malawi. | ticks of the ornithodoros moubata complex were collected from domestic pig sties and dwelling houses, and from a warthog habitat, and tested for the presence of african swine fever (asf) virus. collections were made in 9 of the 24 districts of malawi, these being primarily the districts in which o. moubata is most numerous. asf virus was isolated from ticks collected in both domestic pig sties and houses in certain villages in mchinji district where asf outbreaks had recently occurred. mchinji d ... | 1988 | 3402546 |
| a model virus-cell system to study the persistence of african swine fever virus. | the persistence of african swine fever virus (asfv) on vero cells was induced by using 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (idu). after the persistence was established, several cycles of decreasing virus production were observed with intervals in which no virus could be detected. these latency-like periods could last from 15 to 25 days. after three and a half months the cells appeared to be "cured" and no virus was detected during almost three years. these "cured" cells (vero-l) were more resistant to superi ... | 1988 | 3401116 |
| inhibition of african swine fever virus dna synthesis by (s)-9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine. | the acyclic nucleotide analogue (s)-9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine [(s)-hpmpa] is a potent and selective inhibitor of african swine fever virus (asfv) replication. using the dna-dna hybridization technique with plasmid prpel-2 as probe, we have shown that (s)-hpmpa exerts a specific, dose-dependent, inhibitory effect on viral dna synthesis. also, (s)-hpmpa inhibits the production of late viral proteins, especially ip-73, in asfv-infected ms and vero cells. when evaluated under th ... | 1988 | 3395330 |
| classical swine fever: virulence and tissue distribution of a 1986 english isolate in pigs. | following the recurrence of classical swine fever in the united kingdom in 1986, a virus isolated from a single outbreak was studied. a major factor in the spread of this disease is considered to be the presence of infectious virus in tissues taken from animals at certain stages of infection, although their condition may escape detection by routine inspection either before or after slaughter. intranasal inoculation of the isolate into eight-week-old pigs reproduced the acute form of the disease. ... | 1988 | 3394221 |
| effect of inhibitors of the host cell rna polymerase ii on african swine fever virus multiplication. | the role of the host cell rna polymerase ii in african swine fever (asf) virus growth has been examined using inhibitors of this enzyme. the adenosine analog 5,6-dichloro-1-beta-d-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole (drb), an inhibitor of mrna precursor synthesis in mammalian cells, strongly inhibits the production of infectious progeny virus in vero cells, but does not significantly affect the synthesis of virus-specific macromolecules. on the other hand, virion assembly seems to proceed normally in the ... | 1988 | 3363868 |
| moderately virulent african swine fever virus infection: blood cell changes and infective virus distribution among blood components. | blood samples of pigs infected with a moderately virulent african swine fever virus (asfv) isolate, obtained from the dominican republic (dr-ii), were monitored temporally for viremia, infective asfv association with major blood components, differential changes in blood cell composition, and plasma antibodies to asfv. after intranasal/oral virus inoculation, pigs underwent acute infection and illness that resolved. acute illness began on postinoculation day (pid) 4 and continued to pid 11, and p ... | 1988 | 3358545 |

| [cultivation and demonstration of the classic swine fever virus]. | experiments were carried out for the cultivation and indication of the swine pestivirus in several continuous and in primary cell lines, using lapinized and field strains of the virus. it was demonstrated that in the various cell cultures the strains used showed varying rates of growth. in pk-15 and pig embryonic kidney cell lines, the field strains and the virulent vratsa strain replicated with no preliminary adaptation, forming numerous large fluorescent plaques at the 16th to 18th hour. in th ... | 1987 | 3307133 |
| cytopathogenic effect of african swine fever virus for pig monocytes: characterization and use in microassay. | a microculture assay is described for the titration of african swine fever virus (asfv) using swine monocytes contained in mononuclear leucocyte (mnl) microcultures. titration endpoints were determined by observing cytopathogenic effects (cpe) of asfv infected monocytes with an inverted microscope at 40 x magnification. cpe was a late event following the detection of asfv antigens in monocytes by radioimmune assay, immunofluorescence and hemadsorption. it began with the detachment, enlargement a ... | 1987 | 3307125 |
| hog cholera virus: art and facts. | the aim of this review is to summarize the informations accumulated during the two last decades on hog cholera virus, a member of the pestivirus genus. different aspects concerning the virus-host cell interactions, and the structural and antigenic properties of the virion itself are successively analyzed. despite numerous works, many basic informations are still lacking, which can be explained by the difficulties inherent to the study of this virus. | 1987 | 3304110 |
| prospects for the use of embryos in the control of disease and the transport of genotypes. | transfer and low temperature storage of embryos are now proven techniques for a number of mammalian species. these techniques are useful in control of disease and in saving genotypes from infected animals. the place of embryos in the epidemiology of disease depends upon whether the causative organism can gain entry to the oocyte before or at fertilisation and on whether the young embryo can be invaded by organisms in the uterine environment. there is little evidence that important live-stock dis ... | 1987 | 3297016 |

| the protective value of vaccine-induced neutralising antibody titres in swine fever. | the relationship between vaccine-induced antibody titres against swine fever virus (sfv), as measured by the neutralisation peroxidase-linked assay (npla), and protection against virus multiplication, excretion and transmission, disease and death was studied in 46 pigs. the pigs were housed individually and challenged intranasally with 100 pig id50 of the virulent brescia strain of sfv. in order to detect virus transmission, a swine fever (sf)-susceptible sentinel pig was placed in contact with ... | 1988 | 3287757 |
| correlation between b-cell mitogenicity and immunosuppressor effects of a protein released by porcine monocytes infected with african swine fever virus. | virus-free supernatants of cultured swine monocytes infected by african swine fever virus (asfv) suppressed in vitro proliferation of porcine and human blood mononuclear cells in response to phytohemagglutinin and the in vivo primary immune response of c57bl/6 mice against sheep rbc. the supernatants were fractionated by discontinuous ion-exchange chromatography and subfractionated by double-step preparative isoelectric focusing. the pool of the most purified active subfractions (f5'ep-asfv) is ... | 1988 | 3266831 |
| mapping and sequence of the gene encoding protein p37, a major structural protein of african swine fever virus. | the gene encoding protein p37, one of the major structural proteins of african swine fever (asf) virus has been mapped and sequenced. protein p37 was obtained from purified virions and the first 27 amino acids from its nh2-terminal end were identified by automatic edman degradation. to map the gene encoding protein p37, a mixture of 20-mer deoxyoligonucleotides based upon a part of this amino acid sequence was hybridized to cloned asf virus restriction fragments. this allowed localization of the ... | 1988 | 3245132 |
| hog cholera virus: identification and characterization of the viral rna and the virus-specific rna synthesized in infected swine kidney cells. | virus-specific rna in swine kidney cells infected with hog cholera virus and the rna of gradient-purified virions were identified and characterized. the time curve for virus replication in sk-6 cells was established. the logarithmic phase of virus growth was between 4 and 12 h after virus adsorption. virus production was maximum at 20 h after virus adsorption. analysis of cytoplasmic rna in a neutral agarose gel showed that the time curve for synthesis of a high molecular weight rna in infected ... | 1988 | 3223061 |
| the distribution of african swine fever virus isolated from ornithodoros moubata in zambia. | african swine fever (asf) has been reported in the eastern province of zambia since 1912 and is now considered to be enzootic there. a survey of the distribution of asf virus in zambia was carried out by virus isolation from ornithodoros moubata ticks collected from animal burrows in national parks and game management areas in northern, eastern, central and southern zambia. asf virus was isolated from ticks in all areas examined. the prevalence of infection in o. moubata was between 0.4% in sout ... | 1988 | 3215286 |
| a protein of molar mass 12 kda incorporates into the membrane of asf virus-infected cells. | an african swine fever virus-induced protein of molar mass 12 kda (p12) was studied in virus-infected vero cells using the monoclonal antibody 18b.b11. protein p12 is incorporated into the membrane of infected cells about 7 h post-infection and is not present in purified african swine fever virus particles. the synthesis of protein p12 is sensitive to cytosine arabinoside. | 1988 | 3201826 |
| association of african swine fever virus with the cytoskeleton. | the association of african swine fever virus (asfv) with the cytoskeleton was investigated. immunofluorescent studies of asfv infected cells with anti-asfv serum showed a temporal and spatial development of viral inclusions which moved from a peripheral to a perinuclear location and fused to give a single large perinuclear factory. the migration and fusion of viral inclusions was inhibited by colchicine suggesting a function for microtubules in assembly site organization not previously described ... | 1988 | 3201825 |
| genetic diversity of african swine fever virus isolates from soft ticks (ornithodoros moubata) inhabiting warthog burrows in zambia. | the genomes of african swine fever virus isolates collected from soft ticks (ornithodoros moubata) inhabiting warthog burrows in four areas of zambia were compared by restriction enzyme site mapping. isolates from different areas showed considerable diversity. the regions of genomes that differed between isolates were distributed throughout the virus genome, although some more conserved regions were identified, such as the right-hand third of the genome. the genomes of seven isolates from neighb ... | 1988 | 3199101 |
