characteristics of the genome of goose parvovirus.the nucleic acid of goose parvovirus showed sensitivity to dnase and mung bean nuclease treatment and resistance to digestion with rnase. viral dna readily served as a template for self-primed conversion in vitro into a double-stranded form of about 5000 base pairs. there was evidence for encapsidation of strands of opposite polarities in equal amounts. the restriction enzyme cleavage patterns of goose and muscovy duck parvovirus dnas differed significantly. however, they showed a high degree of ...199418671101
isolation and molecular characterization of a new muscovy duck parvovirus from muscovy ducks in the usa.between 1997 and 1999 several cases of a new disease in muscovy ducks were reported in pennsylvania, usa. the cases were characterized by locomotor dysfunction, weakness, recumbency, 40 to 60% morbidity and 10 to 40% mortality. the most characteristic microscopic lesions were moderate to severe degenerative rhabodomyopathy. in order to characterize the aetiological agent, virus isolation was attempted from the spleen, liver, heart, skeletal muscle and intestine by inoculation of 14-day-old musco ...200617121731
expression of capsid proteins and non-structural proteins of waterfowl parvoviruses in escherichia coli and their use in serological assays.while there are a number of methods available for detection of antibodies against waterfowl parvoviruses, none is able to differentiate responses against the capsid and non-structural proteins. to enable this, the capsid and non-structural proteins of goose parvovirus (gpv) and muscovy duck parvovirus (mdpv) were expressed in escherichia coli. these proteins were purified and used as antigens in western blotting assays of antibodies against gpv and mdpv. the results showed that 94.7% of the goos ...200516236567

immunologic cross-reactivity between muscovy duck parvovirus and goose parvovirus on the basis of epitope prediction.through bioinformatic prediction, between muscovy duck parvovirus (mdpv) and goose parvovirus (gpv), there were one epitope aa503-509 (ranepke) on non-structural protein and three epitopes aa426-430 (sqdld), 540-544 (dpyrs), 685-691 (kenskrw) on structural protein might cross-react with each other. furthermore, the four epitops were expressed in escherichia coli. all the four recombinant proteins could react with gpv-antisera and mdpv-antisera in western blot.201324294250
evidence of muscovy duck parvovirus in muscovy ducklings in california.muscovy duck parvovirus (mdpv) has been demonstrated in tissue samples from one- to four-week-old commercially reared muscovy ducks that were weak, unable to walk and had a high mortality rate. on postmortem examination, the thigh and leg muscles, and the myocardium were found to be pale, and there was a fibrinous exudate on the capsule of the liver, and ascites. the parvovirus was isolated in embryonated muscovy duck eggs and visualised by negative stain electron microscopy, detected by polymer ...200010674693
detection of goose and muscovy duck parvoviruses using polymerase chain reaction-restriction enzyme fragment length polymorphism analysis.by using primers (al18f2 and al18r2) designed from goose parvovirus (gpv) strain ihc, an 806-bp band was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (pcr) from all of 17 samples from thailand. specificity to gpv was confirmed by southern hybridization. with restriction enzyme digestion of the pcr products, two isolates differed from the other 15 isolates by the absence of restriction sites for hincii and bglii and the presence of ecor1 site. nucleotide sequence analysis of the pcr products from the d ...19989533090
