[the persistence of activity of h1n1 (swine) influenza virus in pig breeding units during non-epidemic phases].a study is carried on in a group of 16 commercial breeding-finishing units in brittany (france). the aim of this study is to try to reveal the persistence of activity of the influenza virus within these intensive units after an acute epizootic. in each farm two batches of pigs are selected, individually identified and followed from suckling period to slaughter. serological controls are conducted every month on the same pigs. both influenza and aujeszky's disease antibodies are apprehended. furth ...19853004802
characterization and mapping of a nonessential pseudorabies virus glycoprotein.antigenic variants of pseudorabies virus (prv) containing mutations in a viral glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 82,000 (giii) were isolated by selecting for resistance to a complement-dependent neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mca82-2) directed against giii. these mutants were completely resistant to neutralization with mca82-2 in the presence of complement. two mutants selected for further studies either did not express giii or expressed an improperly processed form of the glycoprotein. ...19863005646
dot-enzyme immunoassay for visual detection of antibodies to pseudorabies virus in swine serum.a modified solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (eia) is described for the visual detection of anti-pseudorabies virus (anti-prv) antibody in porcine serum. dots of prv antigens were adsorbed to nitrocellulose paper (hence the name dot-eia), and the remaining nonspecifically reactive sites were blocked with bovine serum albumin or skim milk powder. after immersion in test serum, bound antibodies were reacted with a peroxidase-conjugated anti-porcine immunoglobulin g (h & l). positive reactions were ea ...19863007569
[induction of biological protection in pigs against infection with aujeszky disease virus by vaccination with large doses of live or inactivated vaccines].pigs were inoculated against the aujeszky's disease twice in a four-week interval. the dose of the live vaccine was 10(6) tkid50 and the titres of neutralizing antibodies were 1 : 16 to 1 : 128 in blood serum. two weeks later the pigs were exposed to contact infection. primary multiplication of the virus was observed on the mucous membranes of the nose and oropharynx and the virus was detected on the nasal mucous membrane within one to five days, the maximum infection titre values being 10(1.3) ...19863008403

aujeszky's disease: blocking elisa for the detection of serum antibodies.a blocking elisa for the detection of serum antibodies to aujeszky's disease virus has been developed. the test was designed in particular with a view to examining large numbers of blood samples. it has been found to be sensitive, specific and precise. in comparison with the serum neutralization test it was superior in detecting low levels of antibodies in pig sera. the blocking elisa gave higher titre values in serum samples taken early after experimental infection of pigs with aujeszky's disea ...19863016016
pseudorabies virus gene encoding glycoprotein giii is not essential for growth in tissue culture.we have established that in the becker strain of pseudorabies virus (prv), the glycoprotein giii gene is not essential for growth in cell culture. this was accomplished by construction and analysis of viral mutants containing two defined deletion mutations affecting the giii gene. these mutations were first constructed in vitro and introduced into escherichia coli expression plasmids to verify structure and protein production. each mutation was then crossed onto prv by cotransfection of plasmid ...19863016326
immunoperoxidase plaque staining for the detection of pseudorabies virus.a quantitative indirect immunoperoxidase plaque staining method was developed for the detection of pseudorabies virus infection in a pig kidney cell line (pk-15). the method is rapid and specific and foci of infection, represented by stained plaques, are easily counted by the unaided eye. possible modification of this technique in a plaque reduction assay for the detection of antipseudorabies virus antibody is also discussed.19863017523
development and evaluation of an indirect enzyme immunoassay for detection of porcine antibodies to pseudorabies virus.an indirect enzyme immunoassay is described for detection of porcine serum antibody to pseudorabies virus. the analytical sensitivity of the enzyme immunoassay was found to be approximately 4.5 log 4 x 10 (5120 times) greater than the serum neutralization test, based on parallel end point titrations. the diagnostic sensitivity of the enzyme immunoassay was comparable or superior to that of the serum neutralization, based on the earliest detectable antibody after infection of swine with pseudorab ...19863017531
[electron microscopy of aujeszky's disease virus in explants of gasser's ganglion from pigs with a latent infection].different developmental stages of the aujeszky's disease virus were demonstrated by electron microscopy in the ultra-thin slices by the cultivated fragments of the gasserian ganglion (g. g.) of two pigs latently infected with the aujeszky's disease virus (adv). in a pig vaccinated with the inactivated vaccine against the disease, the virus was detected in the g. g. cells 186 days after virus challenge, the reactivation of latency being obtained after immunosuppression with dexamethasone. in the ...19863020761
phagocytosis and intracellular killing of pasteurella multocida by porcine alveolar macrophages after infection with pseudorabies virus.the purpose of this study was to determine if pseudorabies virus (prv) interfered with normal alveolar macrophage phagocytic functions. porcine alveolar macrophages (pam) obtained by pulmonary lavage were exposed to prv. at 1 hour postinfection, cells were challenged with pasteurella multocida labeled with 3[h] thymidine. the phagocytosis assay was performed by measuring total radioactivity 1 hour after pm challenge in a soft-beta spectrophotometer. intracellular killing was measured by counting ...19863020772
antiviral effectiveness of butylated hydroxytoluene against pseudorabies (aujeszky's disease) virus in cell culture, mice, and swine.butylated hydroxytoluene (bht) was evaluated for antiviral effectiveness on pseudorabies virus (prv) in cell culture, mice, and swine. when relatively small amounts of bht were mixed with prv and incubated at 37 c for 30 or 60 minutes before inoculation into cell cultures, the cell cultures did not become infected with virus. the prv was not infectious when the virus was treated with bht and then inoculated intraperitoneally into mice, but was infectious when bht and prv were inoculated simultan ...19863021025

[use of immunoenzyme (elisa) diagnosis of aujeszky's disease in pigs during the recovery period].samples of blood and blood serums of pigs were examined for the presence of antibodies to the aujeszky's disease virus. the virus-neutralizing (vn) test and the enzymoimmunologic (elisa) method were used for this examination. as indicated by comparison of the average titres of antiviral antibodies determined by both methods, the elisa method is 60 to 600 times more sensitive than the vn test. the high sensitivity of the elisa method enabled to detect antiviral antibodies even in samples consider ...19863022451
herpesvirus (pseudorabies virus) latency in swine: occurrence and physical state of viral dna in neural tissues.the occurrence of the pseudorabies virus (prv, herpes suis 1) genome in various neural tissues of latently infected pigs was investigated. during the latent phase of infection, between 7 and 52 weeks p.i., the average amount of prv dna ranged between 0.3 and 0.05 genome copies per cell. the results obtained by in situ cytohybridization and reassociation kinetic experiments indicated that each latently infected cell harbored at least 30 viral genome copies. prv dna could be demonstrated in simila ...19863024403
detection of latent pseudorabies virus in porcine tissue, using a dna hybridization dot-blot assay.a dna-hybridization dot-blot technique was developed to detect the presence of pseudorabies virus (prv) dna in porcine tissue. seven 32p-nick translated probes of high specific activity were prepared from transformed escherichia coli plasmids into which bacillus amyloliquefaciens h (bam hi) restriction fragments of prv-dna had been inserted. samples of dna that had been extracted from porcine tissue or from prv grown in tissue culture were transferred to nitrocellulose paper, using a microsample ...19863024534
aujeszky's disease vaccination and infection of pigs with maternal immunity: effects on cell- and antibody-mediated immunity.scc, adv-scc, adv-adcc and adv-lyst as well as nd50-titres of neutralizing serum antibodies were examined in 36 passively immune pigs, 25 of which were vaccinated at 3 weeks of age and partly revaccinated 3 weeks later. twenty-five vaccinated animals and 8 non-immune control pigs were challenged with infectious adv. independent of the state of maternal immunity the cytotoxic response of the white blood cells from all the animals was low at wpp 3 but rose with increasing age. adv-lyst occurred on ...19873026291
genome location and identification of functions defective in the bartha vaccine strain of pseudorabies virus.we have shown previously (lomniczi et al., j. virol. 52:198-205, 1984) that the bartha vaccine strain of pseudorabies virus has a deletion in the short unique (us) region of its genome--a deletion that is related to the absence of virus virulence. this strain is, however, also defective in other genes involved in virulence. we show here that virulence can be restored by marker rescue of the bartha strain to which an intact us has been restored (but not to the parental bartha strain) by sequences ...19873027406
construction and characterization of deletion mutants of pseudorabies virus: a new generation of 'live' vaccines.various deletions were introduced into a cloned subgenomic fragment (bamhi-7), located in the unique short (us) region of the dna from the virulent northern ireland aujeszky-3 (nia-3) strain of pseudorabies virus (prv). in the cloned hindiii-b fragment, the mlui-bglii fragment was replaced by different mlui-bglii fragments of the deleted bamhi-7 clones. transfection of the deleted hindiii-b fragments together with the hindiii-a fragment of either the nia-3 or the non-virulent nia-4 strain yielde ...19873029289
intranasal vaccination of pigs against aujeszky's disease: comparison with one or two doses of attenuated vaccines in pigs with high maternal antibody titres.ten-week-old pigs with high levels of maternally derived antibody (mda) against aujeszky's disease virus (adv) were given either a single intranasal vaccination or one or two doses (with an interval of three weeks) of commercially available attenuated adv vaccines intramuscularly. the pigs did not produce a clear neutralising antibody response to adv. however, pigs vaccinated intranasally and pigs given two doses of attenuated adv vaccines were protected against intranasal challenge with virulen ...19873029845

swine antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity against pseudorabies virus-infected cells.in pseudorabies virus (prv) infection of pigs, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (adcc) may be an early defense mechanism. peripheral blood leukocytes (pbl) and pulmonary macrophages mediate adcc activity. antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity against prv-infected target cells was assessed, and the effect of infection of cells having an adcc-effector function was determined. although pulmonary lavage cells (plc) had adcc activity, in vitro infection of plc led to prv replication, loss ...19873032027
a necrotizing pneumonia in lambs caused by pseudorabies virus (aujesky's disease virus).an outbreak of pseudorabies occurred in sheep housed with swine in the same building. although the sheep and swine were not in physical contact, the lambs and ewes were exposed to air from the sows' section. three dead lambs were submitted to the iowa state university veterinary diagnostic laboratory for necropsy. grossly there were pulmonary congestion and multifocal pulmonary hemorrhages. microscopic lesions were severe acute multifocal necrotizing bronchopneumonia with necrotizing vasculitis ...19873032388
evolution of pseudorabies virions containing genomes with an invertible long component after repeated passage in chicken embryo fibroblasts.the genome of pseudorabies virus consists of two components, short (s) and long (l). only the s component is bracketed by inverted repeats, and only the s component inverts itself relative to the l component, giving rise to two isomeric forms of the genome. an attenuated vaccine strain of pseudorabies virus (norden), however, has a genome which is found in four isomeric forms (b. lomniczi, m. l. blankenship, and t. ben-porat, j. virol. 49:970-979, 1984). to determine the basis for the atypical s ...19873033309
induction and characterization of swine beta interferon.newcastle disease virus (ndv) strain "h" and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly i:c) were used for interferon (ifn) induction in secondary pig kidney cells. a functional ifn system was detected and characterized. a wide similarity with the correspondent human and bovine systems was appreciated, with particular regard to the kinetics of synthesis. a glycosylated protein was essential for activity in bovine cells, but not in swine cells. poly i:c proved to be a very weak inducer, even in condit ...19873034503

local humoral and cellular responses in aujeszky's disease virus infection in pigs.mucosal and tracheal washings from pigs vaccinated parenterally and intranasally with aujeszky's disease virus were tested for specific anti-aujeszky's disease virus responses. antibody tests included complement dependent antibody lysis, antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity, virus neutralisation, and anti-aujeszky's disease virus iga and igg levels. there was no correlation between the levels of these antibodies and protection from subsequent challenge. direct lymphocyte cytotoxicity against ...19873035662
the role of acute and latent virus infections in the pathogenesis of inner ear disturbances.the possible role of herpesviral infections of the inner ear in suddenly appearing inner ear disturbances was investigated. experimental pseudorabies virus (prv, herpes sui 1) infection of mice and swine was used as a model system. infected mice represented the productive cycle of prv infection (acute phase), whereas the latent phase of infection could be tested in swine. from the acutely infected mice the virus could be reisolated from perilymphatic fluid and various parts of the brain. massive ...19873035932
second-generation pseudorabies virus vaccine with deletions in thymidine kinase and glycoprotein genes.a modified-live pseudorabies virus (prv) vaccine, designated prv(dlg92/d1tk), with deletions in the thymidine kinase (tk) and glycoprotein-giii (g92) genes, was derived from the prv (bucharest [buk]-d13) vaccine strain. the vaccine virus also contained a deletion in glycoprotein gi. despite 3 deletions, prv(dlg92/d1tk) replicated to high titers in cell culture from 30 c to 39.1 c. enzyme assays and autoradiography revealed that prv(dlg92/d1tk) did not induce a functional tk activity in infected ...19873035972
[the effect of colostral immunity on the active formation of antibodies in pigs after the administration of inactivated vaccine against aujeszky's disease].in a large herd of pigs where a trial was performed to cure the animals from aujeszky's disease (ad) by applying to all animals an inactivated vaccine, a post-vaccination antibody response was studied in piglets coming from the sows that were vaccinated several times. when the piglets were vaccinated at the age of eight weeks (the average virus-neutralizing titer (vnt) of colostral antibodies was 1:11.4) and revaccinated at the age of 11 weeks, 73% of the forty-five animals (examined at the age ...19873037756
pathological changes in hpcd pigs with prednisolone induced recrudescence of pseudorabies virus.in hpcd pigs inoculated with prv, latent prv could be reactivated in-vivo by the administration of large doses of prednisolone 3 months after the primary infection. in two pigs, virus shedding was without clinical signs of disease, whereas depression of circulating lymphocytes was prominent. reactivation of prv was also demonstrated by cultivation of the brain cortex on the 7th day and the mandibular lymph node on the 9th day after the prednisolone began treatment. coincident with the virus isol ...19873038971

effects of experimental pseudorabies virus infection on vaccinated pregnant sows.in regard to field problems, a study was done to determine the effects of an infection with virulent pseudorabies virus (prv) on pregnant sows vaccinated with an inactivated virus vaccine. three routes of viral inoculation have been tested: intranasal, intra-uterine and intra-fetal. the nasal infection did not allow to induce pregnancy disorders observed on the field on pregnant sows. after insemination with semen mixed with prv, abortion was observed on one of the two immune sows. in this one, ...19873426109
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 ...19873446006
genetic control of immune response to pseudorabies and atrophic rhinitis vaccines: i. heterosis, general combining ability and relationship to growth and backfat.data from 988 pigs from 119 litters farrowed in two seasons of a three-breed diallel crossbreeding experiment were analyzed to estimate general combining abilities of breeds and heterosis for humoral immune response to pseudorabies virus and atrophic rhinitis vaccines. twenty purebred boars and 85 sows of the duroc, landrace and yorkshire breeds were mated to provide the nine breed-of-sire and breed-of-dam combinations. immune response was measured after vaccination. a modified-live pseudorabies ...19873558146
genetic control of immune response to pseudorabies and atrophic rhinitis vaccines: ii. comparison of additive direct and maternal genetic effects.data from 52 litters farrowed in two seasons of a cross-fostering experiment were analyzed to estimate variances and covariances for additive direct and maternal genetic effects on immune response to pseudorabies virus and b. bronchiseptica vaccine. twenty purebred boars and 44 sows of the duroc, landrace and yorkshire breeds were used. immune response was measured after vaccine challenge. a modified-live pseudorabies (pr) vaccine was administered to piglets at 28 d of age; response was measured ...19873558147
porcine effector mechanisms: antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity of pseudorabies-infected target cells.antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (adcc) against pseudorabies virus (prv)-infected cells was determined in neonatal porcine pulmonary washout cells and in partially purified blood-derived leukocytes. the adcc assays were performed at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 11 days after birth. it was found that pulmonary-derived cells had a low level of cytolytic activity against the prv-infected target cells at about 1 day of age. this activity increased sharply during the next 2 days of age, but ...19873590615
pneumonia in pigs induced by intranasal challenge exposure with pseudorabies virus and pasteurella multocida.the interaction between pseudorabies virus (prv) and pasteurella multocida was investigated to determine whether single or combined infections result in pneumonia in 6- to 7-week-old pigs. the effect of the prv-p multocida challenge exposure on feed consumption, rate of gain, and extent of pneumonic lesions appeared dependent on the prv dose; however, pneumonic lesions were of bacterial pneumonia. pigs inoculated with a virulent strain of prv plus p multocida developed severe pneumonia, whereas ...19873674553
severe pleuritis associated with certain strains of pasteurella multocida in swine.pasteurella multocida was isolated from 2 farms on which grower or finisher pigs had problems of severe emaciation and high death loss (greater than 5%). at necropsy, the pigs had extensive suppurative pleuritis and pericarditis, with adhesions over the lung surface. on one farm, the pigs also had multiple lung abscesses. histologic findings included polymorphonuclear cell infiltration in bronchial and alveolar spaces, thickening of alveolar walls, pleuritis, and in some cases, abscesses. from a ...19873679971
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 ...19863729125

stability of the pseudorabies virus genome after in vivo serial passage.restriction endonuclease patterns of pseudorabies virus (prv) dna were examined after each of 11 serial passages of the virus through pigs. minor variations in the electrophoretic mobility of certain restriction enzyme fragments were observed by the sixth passage. this variability was similar to some of the minor variability observed in field isolates. the variable fragments were mapped to three locations on the prv genome: the junction between the short unique sequences and the repeat sequences ...19846086823
[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
influence of vaccination on aujeszky's disease virus and disease transmission.parenteral vaccination of fattening pigs with either modified live or inactivated aujeszky's disease virus did not prevent infection with field strain virus or the development of clinical disease. the duration and severity of the clinical syndrome was, however, reduced and vaccinated pigs did not suffer the severe weight loss and high mortality experienced by non-vaccinated pigs in the acute phase of disease. the range of tissues in which challenge virus replication took place was more restricte ...19846089404
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
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
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
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

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
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
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
radial immunodiffusion enzyme assay for detection of antibodies to pseudorabies virus in swine serum.a radial immunodiffusion enzyme assay for the detection and quantitation of antibodies to pseudorabies virus in swine sera was developed and the methods were standardized. the assay combined the principle of radial immunodiffusion with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. quantitation of pseudorabies virus antibody titers was determined by measuring the diameter of a colored circular zone after overnight incubation of antibody with antigen. the specificity and sensitivity of the radial immunodiffu ...19846093644
intranasal vaccination of pigs against pseudorabies: absence of vaccinal virus latency and failure to prevent latency of virulent virus.the avirulent bartha's k strain of pseudorabies virus (prv) was used to vaccinate 8 pigs at 10 weeks of age by the intransal route (experiment 1). on postvaccination days (pvd) 63 and 91, pigs were treated with corticosteroids. viral shedding could not be detected. explant cultures of trigeminal ganglia and tonsils did not produce virus. four pigs with maternal antibody were vaccinated intranasally with bartha's (attenuated) k strain of prv at 10 weeks of age and were challenge exposed with a vi ...19846093645
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
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
