a genetic recombination map of foot-and-mouth disease virus.sixty ts mutants were isolated from the pacheco strain of type o foot-and-mouth disease virus after treatment with either 5-fluorouracil or hydroxylamine. the conditions affecting recombination and assay of the ts+ recombinants were standardized. using two ts mutants resistant to guanidine, three-factor crosses, supported by two-factor crosses, located 34 of the mutations in a linear arrangement. the recombination frequencies between certain pairs of mutations were additive. the guanidine charac ...1975167118
the pathogenicity of bovine strains of foot and mouth disease virus for impala and wildebeest.impala (aepyceros melampus) and wildebeest (connochaetes taurinus) were infected with bovine strains of foot and mouth disease virus by intradermolingual inoculation. no clinical signs developed in the impala but mild atypical lesions developed in the tongues of the wildebeest with generalized spread to one foot in two of the eight animals exposed. all the impala but only some of the wildebeest developed viraemia. no virus could be isolated from any tissues in either species after the 7th day fo ...1975167208
cross-reactions of normal bovine serums to foot-and-mouth disease virus in plaque-reduction neutralization and radial immunodiffusion.serums from 150 cattle with no known exposure to foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) virus were tested by both the plaque-reduction neutralization (prn) technique and the radial immunodiffusion (rid) technique to evaluate the significance and the extent of cross-reactions in these tests. serums from 30 cattle from each of 5 locations were tested against representative viruses of each of the 7 types of fmd virus. high levels of cross-reactions with both the rid and prn techniques were found in serums of ...1975167625
binary ethylenimine as an inactivant for foot-and-mouth disease virus and its application for vaccine production.foot-and-mouth disease virus was inactivated with binary ethylenimine formed apart from or directly in the virus suspension by the cyclization of 2-bromoethylamine hydrobromide or 2-chloroethylamine hydrochloride under alkaline conditions. the inactivation rates with binary ethylenimine prepared apart from the virus suspension in dilute sodium hydroxide with either 2-bromoethylamine hydrobromide or 2-chlorethylamine hydrochloride were higher than with pure ethylenimine. when binary ethylenime wa ...1975167679
virulence of temperature-sensitive mutants of foot-and-mouth disease virus.a number of temperature-sensitive mutants isolated from two strains of foot-and-mouth disease virus were examined for their virulence in suckling mice. the majority of the mutants were found to be less virulent than the parent virus strains, ranging from slight to total attenuation, but two mutants retained parental levels of virulence. there was no correlation between mutant cut-off temperatures and virulence, or the revertant content of mutant preparations and virulence. it was not always poss ...1975167681
the survival of foot-and-mouth disease virus in open air conditions.the influence of the open air factor (oaf) and daylight on the survival of foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) virus held as captured aerosols on spider microthreads has been investigated. virus inactivation due to oaf was slight. similarly, the effect of daylight on the survival of virus was not marked. the results are discussed in relation to the airborne spread of fmd virus in nature.1975168250
[studies on the influence of the host system on the result of the neutralization of monodispersed and untreated foot- and mouth disease virus (author's transl)].monodispersed foot- and mouth disease virus was obtained by filtration through membranes having a porosity only twice the diameter of the virus. this monodispersed virus was neutralized by immune sera in the same manner as not treated virus. this was shown by the inactivation curve comparing the amount of virus used for the test (calculated as id50) with the neutralization titre (nd50) or comparing the reduction of infectivity (also calculated as id50) with the dilution factor of the antiserum. ...1975169651

immune and antibody responses to an isolated capsid protein of foot-and-mouth disease virus.the purified capsid proteins vp1, vp2, and vp3 of foot-and-mouth disease virus type a12 strain 119 emulsified with incomplete freund's adjuvant were studied in swine and guinea pigs. swine inoculated on days 0, 28, and 60 with 100-mug doses of vp3 were protected by day 82 against exposure to infected swine. serums from animals inoculated with vp3 contained viral precipitating and neutralizing antibodies, but such serums recognized fewer viral antigenic determinants than did antiviral serums. cap ...1975171309
n-terminal amino acid sequences in the major capsid proteins of foot-and-mouth disease virus types a, o, and c.sequences of amino acids at the n-termini of virus proteins vp1, vp2, and vp3 were determined for foot-and-mouth disease virus types a12 strain 119, o1brugge and c3resende. in the polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis system used to purify the proteins, vp3 migrated faster than vp1 or vp2; and in the virion, vp3 could be cleaved by trypsin into vp3a and vp3b. the n-terminal amino acids for each of the virus types were glycine in vp1, aspartic acid in vp2, and threonine in vp3. no divergences in seq ...1975171452
[electron microscopy studies on proliferation of foot-and-mouth disease virus in cell cultures. i. morphologic changes in cell nucleus].the first morphological indication of fmd infection of a cell culture was in the nucleus. components of nucleoli became segregated and were finally present only as remnants. it was not possible to distinguish different stages of segregation, as in the case of entero-virus infections, because of the rapidity of fmd virus proliferation. following changes in nucleoli there was margination of chromatin. particularly striking was an increase in interchromatin granules. changes in the nuclear membrane ...1975172041
[electron microscopy studies on the proliferation of foot-and-mouth disease virus in cell cultures. ii. changes in nucleic acid metabolism of the cell nucleus].bhk cells were infected with fmd virus and treated with tritium-labelled thymidine and uridine for examination by autoradiography under the electron microscope. labelling of the dna, examined by autoradiography under the optical microscope, showed inhibition of 3h-thymidine incorporation. for demonstrating rna labelling of nuclei, some cells were treated with actinomycin d and others were left untreated. under the lectron microscope there was no evidence of increased 3h-uridine incorporation in ...1975172042
[electron microscopy studies on the proliferation of foot-and-mouth disease virus in cell cultures. iii. morphogenesis in cytoplasm].the previous parts have been concerned with the participation of the cell nucleus in the formation of the rna of fmd virus. however, the actual morphogenesis of the virus takes place in cytoplasm. in bhk cells, changes attributable to virus infection were visible by the second hour, with the formation of threads and large polysome complexes near the nucleus. viral particles soon appeared between these structures. there were no pronounced foci of viroplasma, and it seemed that they were not neces ...1975172043
