| cytopathogenicity of classical swine fever viruses that do not show the exaltation of newcastle disease virus is associated with accumulation of ns3 in serum-free cultured cell lines. | pestiviruses can be distinguished as two biotypes, cytopathogenic (cp) and noncytopathogenic (noncp), by the morphological changes that they induce during growth in cultured cells. in this study, the cp phenotype of several classical swine fever viruses (csfv) was evaluated by the detections of the nonstructural proteins ns2-3 and ns3 using immunoprecipitation and western blotting in different porcine cell lines. most csfvs that showed the exaltation of newcastle disease virus (end) phenomenon ( ... | 2004 | 15031544 |
| n(pro) of classical swine fever virus is an antagonist of double-stranded rna-mediated apoptosis and ifn-alpha/beta induction. | classical swine fever virus (csfv) protects cells from double-stranded (ds) rna-mediated apoptosis and ifn-alpha/beta induction. this phenotype is lost when csfv lacks n(pro) (deltan(pro) csfv). in the present study, we demonstrate that n(pro) counteracts dsrna-mediated apoptosis and ifn-alpha/beta induction independently of other csfv elements. for this purpose, we generated porcine sk-6 and pk-15 cell lines constitutively expressing n(pro) fused to the enhanced green fluorescent protein (egfp) ... | 2005 | 16043207 |
| sample size calculations for disease freedom and prevalence estimation surveys. | we developed a bayesian approach to sample size calculations for studies designed to estimate disease prevalence that uses a hierarchical model for estimating the proportion of infected clusters (cluster-level prevalence) within a country or region. the clusters may, for instance, be villages within a region, cities within a state, or herds within a country. our model allows for clusters with zero prevalence and for variability in prevalences among infected clusters. moreover, uncertainty about ... | 2006 | 16287201 |
| expression and functional characterization of classical swine fever virus e(rns) protein. | e(rns) is an envelope glycoprotein of classical swine fever virus (csfv) with unusual rnase activity. recently, e(rns) was found to have a new function of counteracting the beta-interferon (ifn-beta) induction pathway. in this study, wildtype ernssm and two mutated e(rns) proteins ernsh297k and ernsh346k were expressed in insect cells and purified for rnase activity and function analysis. rnase activity assay in vitro demonstrated that only wildtype e(rns) protein had rnase activity. however, bo ... | 2007 | 17587595 |
| a novel role of classical swine fever virus e(rns) glycoprotein in counteracting the newcastle disease virus (ndv)-mediated ifn-beta induction. | e(rns) is an envelope glycoprotein of classical swine fever virus (csfv) and has an unusual feature of rnase activity. in the present study, we demonstrate that e(rns) counteracts newcastle disease virus (ndv)-mediated induction of ifn-beta. for this purpose, e(rns) fused to the enhanced green fluorescent protein (egfp) was transiently expressed in porcine kidney 15 (pk15) cells. in luciferase activity assay, e(rns)-egfp was found to prevent ifn-beta promoter-driven luciferase expression and blo ... | 2007 | 17927891 |
| isolation and genetic characterization of avian influenza viruses and a newcastle disease virus from wild birds in barbados: 2003-2004. | zoonotic transmission of an h5n1 avian influenza a virus to humans in 2003-present has generated increased public health and scientific interest in the prevalence and variability of influenza a viruses in wild birds and their potential threat to human health. migratory waterfowl and shorebirds are regarded as the primordial reservoir of all influenza a viral subtypes and have been repeatedly implicated in avian influenza outbreaks in domestic poultry and swine. all of the 16 hemagglutinin and ni ... | 2007 | 17992942 |

| development of a reliable assay protocol for identification of diseases (rapid)-bioactive amplification with probing (bap) for detection of newcastle disease virus. | due to appearance of new genotypes of newcastle disease virus (ndv) with no cross-protection and with vaccine strains, some outbreaks have been reported in taiwan that caused significant damage to the poultry industry. a reliable assay protocol, (rapid)-bioactive amplification with probing (bap), for detection of ndv that uses a nested pcr and magnetic bead-based probe to increase sensitivity and specificity, was developed. primers and probes were designed based on the conserved region of the f ... | 2008 | 18261864 |
| newcastle disease virus: propagation, quantification, and storage. | newcastle disease virus (ndv) is a prototype paramyxovirus used to define basic steps in the life cycle of this family of viruses. ndv is also an ideal virus system for elucidating determinants of viral pathogenicity. some strains of this virus are important agricultural pathogens that cause disease in poultry with a high mortality while other strains are avirulent and used for vaccines. methods for preparation and titration of virus stocks are essential for all of these purposes. procedures for ... | 2006 | 18770579 |
| molecular characterization and complete genome sequence of avian paramyxovirus type 4 prototype strain duck/hong kong/d3/75. | avian paramyxoviruses (apmvs) are frequently isolated from domestic and wild birds throughout the world. all apmvs, except avian metapneumovirus, are classified in the genus avulavirus of the family paramyxoviridae. at present, the apmvs of genus avulavirus are divided into nine serological types (apmv 1-9). newcastle disease virus represents apmv-1 and is the most characterized among all apmv types. very little is known about the molecular characteristics and pathogenicity of apmv 2-9. | 2008 | 18937854 |
| detection and characterization of avian influenza and other avian paramyxoviruses from wild waterfowl in parts of the southeastern united states. | cloacal swabs were taken from migratory hunter-killed, nonmigratory, nesting waterfowl and migratory shorebirds from wildlife refuges in alabama, georgia, and florida during 2006 to 2008. samples were processed in embryonated eggs followed by hemagglutination (ha), directigen, and real-time reverse transcription-pcr tests. sequence analysis of the hemagglutinin (h) gene of the h10n7 alabama isolate revealed that it was closely related (98%) to recent isolates from delaware and canada, but only 9 ... | 2009 | 19276434 |
| [isolation and identification of swine ndv jl01 strain and phylogenetic analysis of f gene]. | an outbreak of fever and dyspnea with high incidence rate and case fatality rate occurred among pigs in a pigfarm in jilin province, china, in 2000. the paramyxovirus-like particles could be observed in lungs, spleens and kidneys of the dead pigs under the transmission electron microscope. a newcastle disease virus (ndv) isolate designated as jl01 was determined as the causal agent for the disease outbreak. the purified virus was reinoculated into pigs, and then the pigs infected with the virus ... | 2009 | 19437887 |
| isolation and analysis of two naturally-occurring multi-recombination newcastle disease viruses in china. | two newcastle disease viruses (ndv), designated qg/hebei/07 and xd/shandong/08, were isolated from infected chicken flocks in china in 2007 and 2008, respectively. the results of phylogenetic and recombination analyses on complete ndv genome sequences (excluding terminal segments) show that the qg/hebei/07 isolate had evidence of recombination in the m and f genes, and recombination in the xd/shandong/08 isolate in the f, l genes and the non-coding region between the hn and l genes. these two na ... | 2010 | 20363269 |
| genetic analysis of avian paramyxovirus-1 (newcastle disease virus) isolates obtained from swine populations in china related to commonly utilized commercial vaccine strains. | newcastle disease virus (ndv) has been thought to only infect avian species. however, at least eight ndv strains were isolated from swine populations in china during 1999-2006, four of which were characterized genetically and phylogenetically. genetic analysis revealed that jl106 and sp13 had a (112)g-r-q-g-r-l(117) motif at the cleavage site of f protein, while jl01 and mp01 possessed a (112)g-k-q-g-r-l(117) motif, which indicated that all of them were typical of low-virulence viruses. phylogen ... | 2010 | 20661635 |
| characterization of the interferon-α response of pigs to the weaning stress. | the interferon (ifn)-α response of pigs to the stressing event of early weaning was investigated in a field trial. all the animals under study remained healthy and tested negative for common viral infections. however, a low-titered ifn-α response was detected in many sera by a bioassay on madin-darby bovine kidney (mdbk) cells on day +6 after weaning. porcine ifn-α was unambiguously identified by a neutralization assay on a pool of ifn-α-positive sera. by gel filtration chromatography, the antiv ... | 2010 | 20950132 |
| [isolation, identification and genetic analysis of an h1n1 subtype isolate of swine influenza virus]. | in 2006, a swine influenza virus (siv) isolate was isolated from 30 nasal swabs samples collected from pigs with clinical syndromes of swine influenza in a pig farm of liaoning province. the virus isolate was studied and identified by the growth in 9-11 days old chicken embryo, hemagglutination (ha) assay, hemagglutination inhibition (hi) assay, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assays (rt-pcr) for its genetic subtype, whole gene sequence analysis and animal trial for its virulence ... | 2010 | 21043141 |
| triggering of the newcastle disease virus fusion protein by a chimeric attachment protein that binds to nipah virus receptors. | the fusion (f) proteins of newcastle disease virus (ndv) and nipah virus (niv) are both triggered by binding to receptors, mediated in both viruses by a second protein, the attachment protein. however, the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (hn) attachment protein of ndv recognizes sialic acid receptors, whereas the niv g attachment protein recognizes ephrinb2/b3 as receptors. chimeric proteins composed of domains from the two attachment proteins have been evaluated for fusion-promoting activity with e ... | 2011 | 21460213 |
| improved method for the isolation and sub-typing of avian influenza viruses from oropharyngeal samples of ducks. | waterfowl are the natural reservoirs of avian influenza viruses (aivs), from which the virus can spread to other species including humans, poultry, and swine. for the surveillance of aiv in their natural reservoir, most laboratories initially screen the samples using real-time reverse-transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction because of its high speed and sensitivity. thereafter, virus isolation is used to isolate viruses from positive samples. although many studies point to the need of testing bo ... | 2011 | 22017043 |
