equine herpesvirus abortion in australia 1977 to 1982.until 1977 no case of abortion caused by equine herpesvirus 1 (ehv1) had been recorded in australia although the virus, called equine rhinopneumonitis virus, had been known to have been present at least since 1962. outbreaks of ehv1 abortion occurred in new south wales in 1977 and in 1981. sporadic cases of ehv1 abortion had been confirmed in some parts of australia each year since 1975. it was concluded that an abortigenic subtype of ehv1 had been introduced to australia in 1977 and that the pr ...19836315394
restriction endonuclease dna fingerprinting of respiratory, foetal and perinatal foal isolates of equine herpesvirus type 1.dna was prepared from 43 equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv 1) isolates, 11 of which were from horses with respiratory disease, 22 from aborted equine foetuses, and 10 from foals that died perinatally. the restriction endonuclease dna fingerprints of 10 of the 11 respiratory isolates, known with certainty to have been recovered from horses with respiratory disease, were entirely different from all but 3 of the 32 foetal or perinatal foal isolates. the exceptional respiratory isolate, ehv 1 army 183, ...19836314938
relative activities of acyclovir and bw759 against aujeszky's disease and equine rhinopneumonitis viruses.compound bw759 (9-[2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethoxymethyl]guanine) was shown to be about 230 times more active than acyclovir (9-[2-hydroxyethoxymethyl]guanine) (acv) against equid herpesvirus type 1 infection in syrian hamsters and was more effective against aujeszky's disease in mice. the therapeutic superiority of bw759 over acv was greater than expected from quantitative inhibitory results in tissue culture with these viruses. when administered to hamsters at dose rates sufficient to preven ...19836314886
detection of equine herpesvirus-1 antigen and the specific antibody by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (elisa) were developed to detect equine herpesvirus-1 (ehv-1) antigens and specific antibodies. detection of ehv-1 antigens was done by a 4-layer elisa. in inoculated cell cultures, ehv-1 cell antigen was detected after postinoculation (pi) hour 4, reached approximately twice the value of ehv-1 viral antigen (extra-cellular virus) in pi hour 18, and peaked in pi hour 24, whereas ehv-1 viral antigen appeared after pi hour 12, increased steadily, and peaked highe ...19836314855
the pathogenicity in mice of respiratory, abortion and paresis isolates of equine herpesvirus-1.eleven isolates of equine herpesvirus-1 (subtype 1) all infected the brain following intracerebral inoculation of 2 d.o. mice. most isolates were from cases of paresis, abortion or respiratory disease in the u.k., but established strains were also included. they divided into two subgroups. the 5 less pathogenic isolates were characterized by being restricted predominantly to the olfactory lobes. the 6 pathogenic isolates included the three known to cause equine paresis and were detected in neuro ...19836310851
location and orientation of homologous sequences in the genomes of five herpesviruses.molecular hybridization experiments were carried out to investigate homologous regions in the genomes of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (hsv-1 and hsv-2), equid herpesvirus 1 (ehv-1), pseudorabies virus (prv) and varicella-zoster virus (vzv). virion dna probes from ehv-1, prv and vzv hybridized to similar regions of the hsv genome, and the use of cloned dna probes allowed heterologous genomes to be oriented with respect to homologous regions. the hsv-1 and hsv-2 genomes are colinear, the ehv ...19836310033

comparison of four horse herpesviruses.four equine herpesviruses (equine abortion virus, equine herpesvirus types 2 and 3, and equine cytomegalovirus) were compared. the equine abortion virus did not cross-neutralize with any of the other viruses, but the other three did show varying degrees of cross-neutralization among themselves. equine abortion virus grew more quickly in tissue cultures than did the others, and attained higher titers of infectivity in the culture fluid; it also formed plaques in a wider range of tissue culture sp ...19694982831
equine abortion (herpes) virus: evaluation of markers in a field vaccination trial.twelve mares were vaccinated with attenuated equine abortion virus (eav) strain rac-h. two nonvaccinated mares served as controls. in at least three mares the vaccination appeared to coincide with a natural infection. this was indicated by characterization of the eav isolated from nasal secretions of six vaccinated mares, a nonvaccinated control, and also from the lung, spleen, and liver of a fetus aborted by a vaccinated mare. the relative sensitivity of the isolated eav to dithiothreitol was u ...19734796167
equine herpesviruses: antigenic relationships and deoxyribonucleic acid densities.equine herpesviruses with a deoxyribonucleic acid density of 1.716 to 1.717 g/cm(3) were compared with one another by the plaque-reduction test and by the rate of development of cytopathic effect as indicated by plaque size in rabbit kidney cultures. of the 19 isolates studied, the 9 which had already been tentatively labeled equine abortion viruses were serologically similar to one another; each of them grew more quickly than did any of the other 10 isolates although the mean plaque sizes forme ...19734742974

effect of antiviral agents in equine abortion virus-infected hamsters.equine abortion virus, a member of the herpesvirus group, produces a lethal infection in hamsters. with this system, the protective effect of certain inhibitors of deoxyribonucleic acid viruses, inducers of interferon and exogenous interferon, was evaluated. of the various agents studied, 9-beta-d-arabinofuranosyladenine markedly suppressed mortality, and 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine, distamycin a, and n-ethylisatin beta-thiosemicarbazone were inactive. of the inducers tested, statolon, ultraviolet-ir ...19724376907
morphological components of herpesvirus. i. intercapsomeric fibrils and the geometry of the capsid.highly purified equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) were observed by electron microscopy in various stages of disintegration. under the conditions used, envelopes of virions usually were fragmented, and virus capsids collapsed in situ into flattened sheets of capsomeres. a matrix of intercapsomeric fibrils was observed. evidence suggesting that the capsid hexamer has threefold structural symmetry is presented.19744376809
