a solid-phase fluorescent immunoassay for detecting canine or mink enteritis parvoviruses in faecal samples.mink enteritis virus (mev) and canine parvovirus (cpv) were detected in faecal samples from experimentally or naturally infected minks and dogs, respectively, using antibody-coated polyacrylamide beads (immunobeads, ib) as the solid phase for immunofluorescence (if) tests. the specificity and sensitivity of the immunobead assay (iba) were studied by comparing it with an enzyme-linked immunoassay (elisa), a haemagglutination (ha) test and an if test using tissue cultures. the iba was as sensitive ...19872830702
a latex agglutination test for the detection of canine parvovirus and corresponding antibodies.latex particles coated with rat monoclonal antibodies directed against a canine parvovirus are agglutinated by the virus antigens. in this study, the reaction was quantitated by a technique which had been described as immunoassay by particles counting. the method is as sensitive as a radioimmunoassay with the same antibody, but has the advantages of simplicity and safety. it allows the detection of parvoviral antigens to 4 ng/ml. incubation of these antigens with specific antibodies resulted in ...19882832435
detection of parvoviruses in wolf feces by electron microscopy.one hundred fifteen wolf (canis lupus) feces were collected between 1980 and 1984 from northeastern minnesota and were examined for canine parvovirus by negative contrast electron microscopy. of these, seven (6%) samples revealed the presence of parvovirus. some of these viruses were able to grow in cell cultures forming intranuclear inclusion bodies and giant cells.19882832624
characterization of minute virus of canines (mvc) and its pathogenicity for pups.minute virus of canines (mvc, canine parvovirus-1), originally isolated in 1970 from the feces of normal dogs, was compared with canine parvovirus type-2 (cpv-2). the two viruses, which differ in their host cell ranges and spectra of hemagglutination, also were found distinct in their antigenic and genomic properties. we demonstrated that the mvc replicates in dogs and is capable of producing pathologic changes that were most prominent in oronasally-exposed neonatal pups. macroscopic and microsc ...19882836128
the global spread and replacement of canine parvovirus strains.canine parvovirus type 2 (cpv-2) became widespread during 1978 and was reported in many countries during 1978 and 1979. earlier studies showed that cpv-2 was replaced in the u.s.a. around 1980 by an antigenically and genetically variant virus (cpv-2a). here we show that cpv-2 was present in the u.s.a., japan, belgium and australia prior to 1980, but that between 1979 and 1982 cpv-2 was replaced by cpv-2a in all of those countries as well as in france and denmark. examination of sera collected be ...19882836554
serological survey for selected diseases in the endangered san joaquin kit fox (vulpes macrotis mutica).blood from endangered san joaquin kit foxes (vulpes macrotis mutica) inhabiting the elk hills naval petroleum reserve, kern county, and the elkhorn plain, san luis obispo county, california, was collected in 1981, 1982 and 1984 and sera were tested for antibodies against 10 selected pathogens. proportions of kit fox sera containing antibodies against pathogens were: canine parvovirus, 100% in 1981-1982 and 67% in 1984; infectious canine hepatitis virus, 6% in 1981-1982 and 21% in 1984; canine di ...19882836636
characterization of biological and antigenic properties of raccoon dog and blue fox parvoviruses: a monoclonal antibody study.parvovirus isolates from blue foxes and raccoon dogs were characterized by studying their haemagglutination properties, host range in vitro and antigenic structure. in all 3 characters, raccoon dog parvovirus resembled canine parvovirus (cpv), while blue fox parvovirus was similar to mink enteritis virus (mev). monoclonal antibodies (mabs) were prepared against both viruses. raccoon dog parvovirus, while resembling cpv, had a unique antigenic site which could be specified by mabs. the pattern of ...19882836994
canine parvovirus: interaction between passive immunity and virulent challenge.two groups of puppies, one passively immunised by the administration of hyperimmune serum and the other with natural maternally derived antibody, were inoculated orally with virulent canine parvovirus of faecal origin. serum antibody titres declined more rapidly in both groups after challenge than before. the dogs became clinically affected but the onset of clinical signs, seroconversion and faecal excretion of virus was delayed when compared to controls. it is postulated that this rapid decline ...19882842925
studies on canine parvovirus infection: preparation of challenge virus.two techniques, adsorption on to hydroxylapatite and density gradient centrifugation, were investigated as prospective methods for the large scale purification of canine parvovirus from faecal suspensions. adsorption with hydroxylapatite successfully removed virus from faecal material. however, the resultant virus was contaminated and some virus was left behind in the faecal suspension. repeated adsorption with hydroxylapatite appeared to result in some damage to the virus particles. in contrast ...19882848300
