| susceptibility of hares and rabbits to a belgian isolate of european brown hare syndrome virus. | signs and pathologic changes of european brown hare syndrome (ebhs) were reproduced in four hares (lepus europaeus) after experimental inoculation of a liver suspension from hares from belgium, which naturally died of ebhs. virus particles were demonstrated by electron microscopy in the liver of an experimentally infected hare. they were spherical with a diameter of 28 to 30 nm. after density gradient centrifugation, virus particles were detected in the density zone of 1.34 g/ml. based on immuno ... | 1993 | 8387610 |
| european brown hare syndrome in free-ranging hares in poland. | a study of european brown hare syndrome (ebhs) was conducted in poland (czempin). from april 1993 until february 1994, 100 blood and 78 spleen samples of european brown hares (lepus europaeus) were tested for prevalence of ebhs and rabbit hemorrhagic disease (rhdv) antibodies and ebhs virus antigen with two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) test kits. thirty-eight of 100 serum samples were positive for ebhs, and six (7.6%) of 78 of the spleen materials were-antigen positive for ebhs viru ... | 1996 | 8722266 |
| european brown hare syndrome in free-ranging european brown and mountain hares from switzerland. | from 1997 to 2000, complete necropsy and histopathologic investigations were performed on 157 free-ranging european brown hares (lepus europaeus) found dead throughout switzerland. organ samples of all these individuals (157 livers and 107 spleens available) were tested for european brown hare syndrome virus (ebhsv)-antigen by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) test kit. furthermore, 60 additional blood samples were tested for antibodies against ebhsv by elisa. in addition, liver samples ... | 2001 | 11763744 |
| european brown hare syndrome virus in free-ranging european brown hares from argentina. | from 1998 to 2000, serum samples of 80 shot european brown hares (lepus europaeus) from argentina were examined for antibodies against european brown hare syndrome virus (ebhsv) and 80 spleen samples were tested for ebhsv-antigen by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). nine hares were positive for ebhsv-antigen. antibodies against ebhsv were detected in only one individual. based on negative staining electron microscopy of spleen homogenates, we observed calicivirus in one of five ebhsv-an ... | 2003 | 12685075 |
| epizootiologic and ecologic investigations of european brown hares (lepus europaeus) in selected populations from schleswig-holstein, germany. | from 1997-99 european brown hare (lepus europaeus) population densities were estimated by spotlight surveys within different areas in schleswig-holstein, germany. these areas showed a wide variation in local hare population densities. in addition, red fox (vulpes vulpes) densities were estimated in 1997 by surveys of fox dens and litters. sera of 321 hares (shot between 1998-2000) from four study areas were examined for antibodies against european brown hare syndrome virus (ebhsv) by enzyme link ... | 2003 | 14733269 |
| new variants of european brown hare syndrome virus strains in free-ranging european brown hares (lepus europaeus) from slovakia. | investigations regarding european brown hare syndrome virus (ebhsv) in european brown hares (lepus europaeus) in slovakia were undertaken in order to detect the possible presence of ebhsv and to evaluate its phylogenetic position. liver and/or serum samples were obtained from 135 european brown hares shot by hunters in eight regional hunting areas. from 36 animals corresponding liver and serum samples were available; from the remaining 49 and 50 animals only liver or serum samples were examined, ... | 2007 | 17347397 |
| molecular evolution and antigenic variation of european brown hare syndrome virus (ebhsv). | european brown hare syndrome virus (ebhsv) is the aetiological agent of european brown hare syndrome (ebhs), a disease affecting lepus europaeus and lepus timidus first diagnosed in sweden in 1980. to characterize ebhsv evolution we studied hare samples collected in sweden between 1982 and 2008. our molecular clock dating is compatible with ebhsv emergence in the 1970s. phylogenetic analysis revealed two lineages: group a persisted until 1989 when it apparently suffered extinction; group b emerg ... | 2014 | 25155199 |
| complete coding sequences of european brown hare syndrome virus (ebhsv) strains isolated in 1982 in sweden. | european brown hare syndrome (ebhs) is characterised by high mortality of european brown hares (lepus europaeus) and mountain hares (lepus timidus). european brown hare syndrome virus (ebhsv) and the closely related rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (rhdv) comprise the genus lagovirus, family caliciviridae. in contrast to rhdv, which is well studied, with more than 30 complete genome sequences available, the only complete genome sequence available for ebhsv was obtained from a strain isolated in ... | 2013 | 23640583 |
| host and viral traits predict zoonotic spillover from mammals. | the majority of human emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, with viruses that originate in wild mammals of particular concern (for example, hiv, ebola and sars). understanding patterns of viral diversity in wildlife and determinants of successful cross-species transmission, or spillover, are therefore key goals for pandemic surveillance programs. however, few analytical tools exist to identify which host species are likely to harbour the next human virus, or which viruses can cross species ... | 2017 | 28636590 |
| proposal for a unified classification system and nomenclature of lagoviruses. | lagoviruses belong to the caliciviridae family. they were first recognized as highly pathogenic viruses of the european rabbit (oryctolagus cuniculus) and european brown hare (lepus europaeus) that emerged in the 1970-1980s, namely, rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (rhdv) and european brown hare syndrome virus (ebhsv), according to the host species from which they had been first detected. however, the diversity of lagoviruses has recently expanded to include new related viruses with varying pat ... | 2017 | 28714849 |
