viral-bacterial pneumonia in calves: effects on plasma eicosanoids and long chain fatty acids.in the pathogenesis of bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis, immunodepression induced by stress or respiratory viral infection permits superinfection of the lungs with pasteurella hemolytica, which results in exudative fibrinous pneumonia. therefore, bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis was induced by sequential inoculations of calves with bovine herpes virus-1 (bhv-1, 3 x 10(7) tissue culture infectious dose 50 (tcid50)/nostril), followed 3 days later by challenge with p. hemolytica (15 x 10(9) colony-fo ...19873036736
the genome of caprine herpesvirus 1: genome structure and relatedness to bovine herpesvirus 1.caprine herpesvirus 1 (caphv-1) dna was examined by electron microscopy, restriction site mapping and homology studies with bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv-1) dna. although the restriction site maps differed significantly, we showed that the genome structures of caphv-1 and bhv-1 were identical and that the dnas shared a high degree of base sequence homology.19873037021
protection of cattle from bovine herpesvirus type i (bhv-1) infection by immunization with individual viral glycoproteins.the major glycoproteins gi, giii, and giv of bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) were found to induce high levels of antibody in cattle which could neutralize virus and participate in antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity of bhv-1-infected cells. immunized animals were fully protected from disease, using a bhv-1/pasteurella haemolytica aerosol challenge model but not from infection with the virus. thus, virus could still replicate in the nasal passages of immunized animals, although to a lesser extent t ...19873037783
detection of bovine herpesvirus-1 nucleic acid sequences, using a dot-blot hybridization procedure.a sensitive and specific procedure for the detection of argentine isolates of bovine herpesvirus-1 was developed. the procedure was based on a dot-blot, nucleic acid hybridization, using 32p, nick-translated, plasmidic probes. the probes contained cloned bam h1 restriction fragments in the left half of the viral genome. the detection limit of the procedure was 10 pg of viral dna.19873037953
use of recombinant bovine alpha 1 interferon in reducing respiratory disease induced by bovine herpesvirus type 1.intranasal or intramuscular treatment of calves with recombinant bovine alpha 1 interferon before challenge with bovine herpesvirus type 1 and pasteurella haemolytica reduced clinical signs, number of sick days, lung lesions, and weight loss. the effective dose was determined to be relatively broad within the range of 1 to 50 mg per animal. no adverse effects were observed even at high doses of interferon (50 mg per animal). administration before virus infection was more effective than administr ...19873038008
elisa for bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv1) antibody with hirt supernatant.detailed studies were made of the ability of hirt supernatant (hs) from bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv1) infected cultures to sensitize plates for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). the ultracentrifuged pellet of hs had less sensitizing activity than the supernatant, but the antigen was removed completely by 0.22 micron filters and to some extent by 0.45 micron filters; it was minimally affected by sonication; it was destroyed by the action of pronase but not by dnaase i when a kallikrein ina ...19873038916
