| prevalence of latent cases of babesia equi infection in some parts of north west india as measured by the capillary agglutination test. | the prevalence of babesia equi infection in north west india was assessed by means of the capillary tube agglutination (ca) test. the particulate antigen used in the test was potent and no cross reaction with other related haemaprotozoa was observed. the serological survey showed that from 323 horses from 3 localities there was an overall incidence of 50.1 per cent. in haryana the incidence was 38.3 per cent in the 196 horses tested, in uttar pradesh it was 47.2 per cent from 72 animals and in r ... | 1978 | 631102 |
| isolation of a/equi-2 virus during 1987 equine influenza epidemic in india. | processing of nasal materials from clinical cases during the 1987 influenza epidemic in northern and central india resulted in the isolation of two haemagglutinating agents; one each from donkeys and horses at bhiwani in haryana state and ludhiana in punjab state, respectively. these were typed as influenza a/equi-2 viruses by haemagglutination inhibition test. the two isolates were designated as a/equi-2/bhiwani/1/87 and a/equi-2/ludhiana/1/87. the bhiwani/87 isolate was confirmed to have h3n8 ... | 1989 | 2550218 |
| molecular variability in different indian isolates of equine herpesvirus-1. | three abortigenic indian isolates of equine herpesvirus-1 (ehv-1) (tohana, hisar and bikaner), along with two exotic abortigenic isolates (ab4 and v592) and another ehv-1 isolate (jind) obtained from a case of perinatal foal mortality, were studied for variability. for this purpose, pcr and restriction endonuclease (re) digestion techniques were used simultaneously as a dna fingerprinting system. nine different regions of ehv-1 virus were amplified by pcr using primer pairs specific for the regi ... | 2005 | 16369886 |
| characterisation of equine influenza isolates from the 1987 epizootic in india by nucleotide sequencing of the ha1 gene. | two a/equi-2 (h3n8) isolates were obtained during the 1987 indian equine influenza epizootic. the sequence of the ludhiana/87 ha1 gene revealed that this isolate was very similar to recent european and north american isolates of equine influenza. in contrast, the bhiwani/87 ha1 gene was nearly identical to the miami/63 prototype h3 sequence. these results support the antigenic analysis previously carried out on these isolates using monoclonal antibodies. however, the finding that bhiwani/87 is s ... | 1993 | 8385602 |
