an experimental study of bungowannah virus infection in weaner aged pigs. | bungowannah virus is a pestivirus identified from an outbreak of stillbirth and increased mortality in the first 3-4 weeks of life on a piggery in new south wales, australia in june 2003. the aims of this study were to determine if post-natal infection results in any clinical abnormalities and quantify the amount of bungowannah virus rna in blood, oropharyngeal, nasal and conjunctival excretions and faeces during the course of infection. thirty pigs were infected intra-nasally with one of six di ... | 2012 | 22655974 |
experimental infections of the porcine foetus with bungowannah virus, a novel pestivirus. | in 2003 an outbreak of sudden deaths occurred in 2-3-week-old pigs on a piggery in new south wales, australia. there was a marked increase in the birth of stillborn pigs and preweaning losses associated with a multifocal non-suppurative myocarditis with myonecrosis. the aim of this study was to amplify any infectious agents present in field material to aid the detection and identification of the causative agent of the porcine myocarditis syndrome (pmc). foetuses were directly inoculated in utero ... | 2010 | 20079981 |
field and laboratory evidence that bungowannah virus, a recently recognised pestivirus, is the causative agent of the porcine myocarditis syndrome (pmc). | in 2003 an outbreak of sudden deaths occurred in 2-3-week-old piglets on a piggery in new south wales, australia. there was a marked increase in the birth of stillborn piglets and preweaning losses associated with a multifocal non-suppurative myocarditis with myonecrosis. the aim of this study was to review existing data and to undertake further investigations of specimens from naturally infected pigs to provide evidence to support the hypothesis that bungowannah virus, a recently recognised pes ... | 2009 | 19157727 |
identification of a novel virus in pigs--bungowannah virus: a possible new species of pestivirus. | in 2003 an outbreak of sudden deaths occurred in 3-4-week-old piglets on a farm in new south wales, australia. there was a marked increase in the birth of stillborn foetuses. pathological changes consisted of a multifocal non-suppurative myocarditis. a viral infection was suspected but a wide range of known agents were excluded. a modified sequence independent single primer amplification (sispa) method was used to identify a novel virus associated with this outbreak. conserved 5'utr motifs, the ... | 2007 | 17561301 |
