genetic heterogeneity among parapoxviruses isolated from sheep, cattle and japanese serows (capricornis crispus). | standard strains of four parapoxviruses and seven unclassified japanese strains isolated from sheep, cattle and wild japanese serows (capricornis crispus) were compared molecularly. restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) analysis of viral dna, indirect immunofluorescence assays using monoclonal antibodies, partial nucleotide sequencing of the envelope gene, phylogenetic analysis and pcr-rflp were carried out. these analyses revealed that the parapoxviruses were divided into four groups ... | 2001 | 11297696 |
characterization of parapoxviruses circulating among wild japanese serows (capricornis crispus). | we antigenically and molecularly compared 5 parapoxvirus isolates and 7 viral dna samples from clinical lesions of japanese serows with 3 viruses from sheep and goats. all isolates from japanese serows except one, ishikawa-s, reacted with six monoclonal antibodies to orf virus (orfv). restriction endonuclease analysis using amplified viral dna showed the orfv-specific pattern in all samples except ishikawa-s, which showed a bovine papular stomatitis virus (bpsv)-specific pattern. partial nucleot ... | 2002 | 12363024 |
global mammal parasite database version 2.0. | illuminating the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of parasites is one of the most pressing issues facing modern science, and is critical for basic science, the global economy, and human health. extremely important to this effort are data on the disease-causing organisms of wild animal hosts (including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, helminths, arthropods, and fungi). here we present an updated version of the global mammal parasite database, a database of the parasites of wild ungulates (artioda ... | 2017 | 28273333 |
