| isolation and characterization of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus from white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) in eastern washington. | a virus was isolated from the spleen of a white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) that had died during an epizootic in washington state in 1967. inoculation of a 10% spleen suspension from the deer caused hemorrhagic disease in normal white-tailed deer. studies were conducted on the biological, physicochemical, and serologic properties of the washington isolate. an in vitro assay system, utilizing a cultured primary of white-tailed deer fetal cells from an entire fetus, was employed for isola ... | 1977 | 192110 |
| geographical genetic variation in the gene encoding vp3 from the alberta isolate of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus. | the complete nucleic acid and deduced amino acid sequences of gene segment 3 and the encoded vp3 from the north american, alberta isolate of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus serotype 2 (ehdv-2) are reported. complementary dna corresponding to segment 3 was 2768 nucleotides in length with an open reading frame of 2697 base pairs which encoded a vp3 polypeptide of 899 amino acid residues. sequence comparison with genome segment 3 and vp3 from the australian strain of ehdv-2 indicated genotypic ... | 1995 | 7653105 |
| development of polymerase chain reaction for specific identification of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus serotype 1. | the diagnostic potential of the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) for specific identification of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus serotype 1 (ehdv-1) in cell culture and clinical specimens was evaluated. using oligonucleotide primers, selected from genome segment 2 of ehdv-1 (new jersey strain), the pcr-based assay resulted in a 862 base pair (bp) pcr product. ehdv-1 rna from united states prototype serotype 1 and a number of ehdv-1 field isolates, propagated in cell cultures, were detected by ... | 1995 | 8572948 |
| molecular characterization of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus serotype 1 associated with a 1999 epizootic in white-tailed deer in the eastern united states. | during the autumn of 1999 (mid-august-late september), an outbreak of hemorrhagic disease in white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) caused by epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus serotype 1 (ehdv-1) occurred along the east coast of the united states from georgia to new jersey. an ehdv-1 epizootic of such magnitude had not been described in this region since 1975. to determine the genetic relatedness among the 1999 viruses, as well as among additional ehdv-1 isolates from the eastern and weste ... | 2006 | 17092892 |
| detection of bluetongue virus rna in field-collected culicoides spp. (diptera: ceratopogonidae) following the discovery of bluetongue virus serotype 1 in white-tailed deer and cattle in louisiana. | in november 2004, bluetongue virus (family reoviridae, genus orbivirus, btv) serotype 1 (btv-1) was detected for the first time in the united states from a hunter-killed deer in st. mary parish, la. in 2005, sera surveys were conducted on three cattle farms near the area where the deer was found, and btv-1-seropositive cattle were found on two of the three farms; in 2006, sera surveys from the cattle on the three farms did not detect any btv-1-positive animals. the purpose of this study was to s ... | 2010 | 20380309 |
