comparison of a direct radioimmunoassay with virus isolation in cell culture for detection of pseudorabies virus in tissues of infected swine.a direct radioimmunoassay (dria) was developed for detection of pseudorabies virus (prv) in tissues of pigs with clinical disease. homogenates of tissues prepared from 289 swine were tested for prv with the dria and virus-isolation technique (vit). the virus was detected in 53 (18%) of the homogenates by both dria and vit. fifteen (5%) others were positive for prv by vit, but negative by dria. there were no samples negative by vit and positive by dria. a total of 221 (77%) pigs with clinical prv ...19826280535
pseudorabies virus infection in raccoons: a review.pseudorabies is a rarely reported disease of raccoons. laboratory and field evidence of prv infection suggests the raccoon is a "dead end" host with little opportunity for raccoon-to-raccoon spread of virus. all reported field cases have been associated closely with infected swine and swine have been considered the source of the raccoon infection. the clinical signs of prv in raccoons closely resembles those of canine distemper and rabies virus infections. infection with the latter viruses are c ...19826285008
oronasal challenge of fattening pigs after vaccination with an inactivated aujeszky's disease vaccine.groups of pigs from vaccinated and unvaccinated sows were vaccinated once or twice between the ages of eight and 20 weeks with a commercial inactivated, oil adjuvanted aujeszky's disease virus vaccine. pigs were challenged by the oronasal route when 22 to 27 weeks old. pigs from unvaccinated sows developed neutralising antibodies after vaccination but no seroconversion was detected in eight-week-old pigs or in 80 per cent of 15-week-old pigs from vaccinated sows. challenge resulted in severe dis ...19826283610
isoelectric focusing of infectious particles of porcine pseudorabies virus strains in granulated dextran gels.isoelectric focusing of infectious particles of four strains of porcine pseudorabies viruses (indiana, iowa, shope and an avirulent live-virus vaccine strains) are described. the pseudorabies virus strains exhibited great mobility in the electric field typical of viruses of the herpes group. strains were considered electrophoretically homogeneous based on their respective isoelectric points. maximal virus infectivity was concentrated in reproducible, stationary zones representing 73 to 86% of th ...19826280822

embryo transfer for conserving valuable genetic material from swine herds with pseudorabies.embryo transfer was used to conserve genetic material from 2 swine herds seropositive for pseudorabies virus (prv). embryos (n = 805) were recovered from 38 prv-seropositive duroc sows in iowa and, after 4 to 10 hours' culture and shipment to illinois, were transferred to 34 recipients from a herd seronegative for prv. all recipients remained seronegative for prv, and 22 of the recipients farrowed 208 pigs (189 alive) that also were seronegative for prv. there was no evidence of prv in the embry ...19836311780
serological response of pigs infected with aujeszky's disease virus.the temporal development of antibody in four groups of pigs infected with different aujeszky's disease virus isolates was examined. the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay detected antibody by five to six days after infection and the antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity assay detected antibody seven to nine days after infection. neutralising antibody was first detected nine to 10 days after infection, whereas assays measuring complement mediated antibody lysis did not detect antibody unti ...19836314461
serologic survey of california wild hogs for antibodies against selected zoonotic disease agents.blood samples were collected from trapped or hunter-killed wild hogs (sus scrofa) in 4 areas of california. sera were tested for antibodies against 7 zoonotic disease agents. antibodies against brucella sp were detected in 21 (15%) of 136 samples. antibodies against coxiella burnetii were found in 50% of the collected samples (67 of 135 tested). of the 135 wild hogs screened for pseudorabies virus, 4 (3%) were seropositive. leptospira interrogans antibodies were discovered in 118 (87%) of the 13 ...19836315659
pseudorabies: experimental studies in raccoons with different virus strains.raccoons (procyon lotor) were infected by the nasal/oral route with as little as 10(2) plaque forming units (pfu) of pseudorabies virus (prv). there was no apparent difference in the susceptibility of raccoons to infection with either of two virulent field strains or with the naturally avirulent k strain which has been used in modified live virus vaccines. each of these three viruses was transmitted by contact to uninfected raccoons. all raccoons that were infected with virulent field strains di ...19836315973
[use of solid-phase radioimmunoassay (ria) for the determination of antibodies to aujeszky's disease virus in the blood serum of vaccinated pigs].the specific antibodies to aujeszky's disease virus were determined by the method of solid-phase radioimmunoassay (ria) in the blood serums of pigs vaccinated with inactivated vaccine from three different producers. as found, in some groups of vaccinated pigs the results of ria examination are adversely affected by the relationship of antibodies to cellular antigenic determinants. this demonstrates that, after vaccination, antibodies are produced not only against the virus antigen but also again ...19836322405
an electron microscopic study of solar ganglia in piglets infected with aujeszky's disease virus.ten 2-day-old piglets were inoculated intranasally with aujeszky's disease virus and their solar ganglia were examined by light and electron microscopy. the cytopathic change noticed was neuronal and glial cell degeneration. it was invariably associated with the virus replicated within the cells. all the main stages of virus development were observed in the degenerated ganglionic cells. characteristically, plexiform vermicellar array and electron-dense tubular filaments were detected in a part o ...19836097822
specificity of pseudorabies virus serotests.pigs experimentally inoculated with bovine herpesvirus-1 or equine herpesvirus-1 developed mild clinical disease signs. regression of clinical disease was accompanied by development of specific virus-neutralizing antibodies. these antibodies did not react positively with pseudorabies antigens in the serum-virus neutralization test, an indirect radioimmunoassay, or a microimmunodiffusion test.19846098206
demonstration of pseudorabies viral antigen in thick and ultrathin tissue sections of young pigs using an immunogold method.pseudorabies (aujeszky's) virus antigens were labeled in thick and ultrathin tissue sections of young pig brain and liver tissue, using an indirect immunogold method. antigens were tagged with 20 nm gold particles. controls proved the specificity of the reaction in paraffin sections and ultrathin epoxy sections. immunogold staining was compared with immunoperoxidase staining in paraffin sections. in ultrathin sections stained with the immunogold method, the gold particles were present on viral n ...19846208821

vaccination against aujeszky's disease: field experiences.twelve herds were investigated where outbreaks of clinical aujeszky's disease had occurred. clinical aujeszky's disease was eliminated from all farms following vaccination. after vaccination was stopped in two of the six fattening herds virus was also apparently eradicated, judging from serological examination. these two herds were the smallest of the six fattening farms and size and the throughput of pigs may have contributed to apparent eradication of virus. in two of six breeding farms where ...19846093329
evaluation of field isolates of pseudorabies (aujeszky's disease) virus as determined by restriction endonuclease analysis and hybridization.sixty-seven isolates of pseudorabies virus (prv) from 13 states were cleaved with 4 restriction endonucleases (re), and after electrophoresis in agarose, their banding patterns were photographed and evaluated. the deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) cleavage fragments were designated into regions specified by molecular weight ranges based on lambda phage dna as a size marker. the 67 prv isolates were evaluated according to the total number of cleavage fragments, by the number of fragments within designa ...19846093637
natural cytotoxicity detected in swine using aujeszky's disease virus infected targets.using percoll gradients and standard b and t cell depletion techniques, porcine lymphocytes were investigated for their ability to show natural killing (nk) of many targets, including aujeszky's disease virus (ajdv) infected cells. although it was possible to enrich for nk activity using these techniques it was not possible to define a distinct subpopulation of nk cells. it was noted that porcine nk cells consistently showed a preferential lysis of ajdv infected cells in comparison to uninfected ...19846095387
cytotoxic lymphocytes induced by african swine fever infection.the generation of lymphocytes cytotoxic to african swine fever virus infected testis cells during in vivo infection is described. peripheral blood lymphocytes from 16 pigs developed cytotoxicity seven to eight days after infection but the lysis was not restricted to autologous cells.19846095388
some characteristics of four attenuated vaccine virus strains and a virulent strain of aujeszky's disease virus.in the present study four attenuated virus strains, used as vaccines, and a virulent strain of aujeszky's disease virus (adv) were compared with respect to their virulence in mice, their ability to induce virus-specified thymidine kinase (tk) in infected cells, and their cleavage profiles of viral dna's after treatment with the restriction endonuclease kpni. the survival time of mice inoculated with the b-kal or the virulent nia-3 strain was comparable, whereas the bartha and buk strains require ...19846093331
pathogenicity of a modified-live pseudorabies vaccine virus in lambs.subcutaneous injections of modified-live pseudorabies virus (prv) vaccine into lambs caused clinical signs and death within 1 week after injection in 4 of 5 inoculated lambs. the clinical signs included depression, high fever, muscle fasciculations and convulsions, occasionally followed by death within 48 hours of the initial clinical signs. histologic examinations and virus isolation procedures demonstrated prv in the cns of infected lambs. sera from sick lambs remained negative for prv antibod ...19846096336
swine diseases transmissible with artificial insemination.the transport of fresh and frozen semen to be used for artificial insemination creates a mode of disease transmission between farms. normally, semen contains a number of nonpathogenic bacterial contaminants; however, excessive bacterial contamination can result in infertile matings. contamination with a known pathogen, eg, brucella suis, could initiate a serious outbreak of disease in a recipient herd. methods to minimize bacterial contamination of semen include sanitary collecting and processin ...19846090372
genetic basis of the neurovirulence of pseudorabies virus.lomniczi et al. (j. virol. 49:970-979, 1984) have shown previously that two attenuated vaccine strains of pseudorabies virus have a similar deletion in the short unique (us) region of the genome. the region which is deleted normally codes for several translationally competent mrnas. as expected, these mrnas are not formed in the cells infected with the vaccine strains. the function specified by these mrnas is thus not necessary for growth in cell culture. using intracerebral inoculation of 1-day ...19846090697
[resistance of aujeszky disease viruses, present in the blood of pigs, to potassium thiosulphate and hydrogen chloride].a trial was conducted to study the sensitivity of the aujeszky disease virus, present in the blood of pigs, to the effect of two preservatives: potassium thiosulphate ( k2s2o5 ) and hydrogen chloride (hcl). the sensitivity of the virus was determined on rabbits infected with pig blood containing aujeszky disease virus with different additions of the two preservatives. as found, 0.5% of k2s2o5 and 3% of hcl are concentrations fully sufficient for the inactivation of all the viruses present in the ...19846087536
testicular changes observed in boars following experimental inoculation with pseudorabies (aujeszky's) virus.four boars were inoculated intranasally with pseudorabies virus to determine if microscopic testicular changes occurred as a result of infection. testicular biopsies and semen samples were taken at two, four and six weeks postinoculation and the boars were castrated immediately after the last sample collection. testicular samples and semen were cultured to determine if the virus was present. pseudorabies virus was not isolated from the semen or testicular tissue. virus was isolated from trigemin ...19846089983
construction of e. coli expression plasmid libraries: localization of a pseudorabies virus glycoprotein gene.we describe the use of a combined cloning/expression protocol to identify a gene encoding a pseudorabies virus (prv) glycoprotein. prior to this study, the genome locations of prv glycoproteins had not been described. we first identified prv glycoproteins using antibodies directed against prv virions. using affinity chromatography and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the prv glycoproteins were separated and antibodies were made against them in rabbits. using dnase diges ...19846090566
