identification of the envelope surface glycoproteins of equine herpesvirus type 1.the structural polypeptides of purified enveloped virions of the army 183 strain of equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) were examined by different analytical techniques to identify the envelope glycoproteins. glycoproteins were identified by electrophoretic analysis in polyacrylamide slab gels of virus labelled in vivo with [3h]glucosamine or labelled enzymically in vitro with either udp-[14c]galactose or sodium [3h]borohydride. fluorograms revealed eleven glycoproteins (mol. wt. 260000, 150000, 1 ...19826296290
variation in cellular tropism between isolates of equine herpesvirus-1 in foals.subtype-1 isolates of equine herpesvirus-1 (ehv-1) from a quadriplegic horse and from an aborted foetus were compared with each other and with a subtype-2 respiratory isolate. all 3 isolates were detected in the epithelium and macrophages of the respiratory tract. both the paresis and foetal subtype-1 isolates replicated in the epithelium of the ileum and this correlated with the recovery of virus from faeces in vivo. the paresis subtype-1 isolate also had a predelection for vascular endothelial ...19826297429
immunogenicity of equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv1) and equine rhinovirus type 1 (erhv1) following inactivation by betapropiolactone (bpl) and ultraviolet (uv) light.some kinetic data on the inactivation of equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv1) and equine rhinovirus type 1 (erhv1) by betapropiolactone (bpl) and ultraviolet (uv) irradiation are reported. 0.25% bpl at 37 degrees c for 1 h reduced the titre of ehv1 by greater than 10(3 . 4) and of erhv1 by greater than 10(4 . 1) tcid50/ml. uv irradiation (334 microw/cm2) produced similar reductions in titre after 2 min. these data were used as a basis for inactivating ehv1 and erhv1 by the combined action of bpl and ...19826301141
application of a chemically inactivated, adjuvanted vaccine to control abortigenic infection of mares by equine herpesvirus i.a chemically inactivated, adjuvanted vaccine prepared from a virulent strain of equine herpesvirus i (ehv-i) was used to immunize pregnant thoroughbred broodmares during a five-year field test designed to determine its safety and efficacy. each mare in the vaccinated groups received 3 intramuscular injections of vaccine beginning immediately prior to and during the last half of pregnancy. vaccine was injected at approximately 60-day intervals. the accumulated incidence of ehv-i abortions among v ...19826299858
observations on vascular accidents in the central nervous system of neonatal foals.a technique for the subarachnoid perfusion-fixation of the central nervous system was developed to help identify various significant vascular accidents (svas) in the central nervous system (cns) of 24 neonatal foals submitted for necropsy. svas, comprising subarachnoid, parenchymal and nerve root haemorrhages, and oedema and necrosis, occurred in 17 foals, more frequently in the spinal cord than the brain. they occurred as frequently in premature foals as in those born at full term, in foals bor ...19826962896
ulcerative duodenitis in foals.seven foals aged 18 days to 3 1/2 months had either single or multiple full-circumference segments or long antimesenteric bands of necrotizing duodenitis, sharply delineated from adjacent viable duodenum. perforation of the necrotic wall had occurred in all foals, leading to acute fibrinous peritonitis. on the mucosal surface severe diffuse, acute inflammation and ulceration involved the anterior half of the duodenum. two further foals, aged 28 and 30 days, had lesions that are believed to be a ...19836649336
alterations in the equine herpesvirus 1 genome after in vitro and in vivo virus passage.the effect of in vitro and in vivo serial virus passage on the genetic stability of equine herpesvirus 1 (ehv-1) was investigated by restriction endonuclease analysis of the viral dna. dnas of ehv-1 isolates at different passage levels in cultured cells or in syrian hamsters were compared by electrophoresis of the dna cleavage fragments produced by restriction endonuclease digestion. no changes were observed in the restriction profile of the dnas of ehv-1 strains after 100 sequential passages in ...19836299965
genetic relatedness of the genomes of equine herpesvirus types 1, 2, and 3.genomic dnas of equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1), ehv-2 (equine cytomegalovirus), and ehv-3 were examined by reassociation kinetic and thermal denaturation analyses to determine the extent and degree of homology among the three viral dnas. results of reassociation analyses indicated a limited homology among the three ehv genomes. homologous dna sequences equivalent to 1.8 to 3.7 megadaltons between ehv-1 and equine cytomegalovirus, 7.6 to 8.2 megadaltons between ehv-1 and ehv-3, and 1.3 to 1.9 ...19836300438

growth kinetics of equine respiratory tract viruses in cell and organ cultures.growth kinetics of equine influenza virus-a1, equine herpesvirus-1, and equine rhinovirus-1 were determined in susceptible cell monolayers and in organ cultures of equine fetal tracheal and nasal turbinate epithelium. equine influenza virus-a1 was replicated in cell and organ cultures and was released more readily and for longer periods from nasal turbinate epithelium than from tracheal epithelium. equine herpesvirus-1 was also replicated in cell and organ cultures. during the first 24 hours aft ...19846093640
functional and ultrastructural changes in neutrophils from mares and foals experimentally inoculated with a respiratory tract strain of equine herpesvirus-1.neutrophils isolated from venous blood of adult and foal ponies inoculated with equine herpesvirus-1 were evaluated by in vitro function tests and by electron microscopy. foals had fever and severe neutropenia 24 hours after inoculation; increased neutrophil random migration under agarose and decreased antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity were significant at 24 hours, but values had returned to preinoculation levels by 72 hours. mares had fever and leukopenia of less severity, increases ...19846093641
pathogenicity of equine herpesvirus 1 subtype 2 for foals and adult pony mares.three pony mares and 4 pony foals were inoculated with a subtype 2 strain of equine herpesvirus 1. foals had periods of fever 12 h and 2.5 days after inoculation and leukopenia, involving both neutrophils and lymphocytes, followed by leukocytosis. mares had transient fever and leukopenia 24 hours after inoculation that were less severe than in foals. an increase in circulating virus-neutralizing antibody was seen in 2 of 3 inoculated mares, but not in foals. attempts to isolate virus from blood ...19846095515
[neurological disorders caused by equine herpesvirus type 1 and cauda equina neuritis in horses].the differences in aetiology, symptomatology, pathomorphology, diagnosis and therapy between the nervous form (paralytic form) of equine herpes virus, type 1, and neuritis caudae equinae are reviewed. the conclusion is that in most cases it is possible to differentiate between these two clinical syndromes.19846096984
specificity of pseudorabies virus serotests.pigs experimentally inoculated with bovine herpesvirus-1 or equine herpesvirus-1 developed mild clinical disease signs. regression of clinical disease was accompanied by development of specific virus-neutralizing antibodies. these antibodies did not react positively with pseudorabies antigens in the serum-virus neutralization test, an indirect radioimmunoassay, or a microimmunodiffusion test.19846098206
[current virus diseases in horses. diseases in foals and respiratory tract infections].at the moment, horse praxis is confronted by two disease complexes which are difficult to fight against as well in prophylaxis as in therapy, but which get an increasing importance. first they concern virus infections of the foals and second primary virus-caused respiratory diseases. foals get infected during the embryonal/fetal development, in the perinatal or postnatal period. normally the infection is caused by latent infected, clinical healthy mares, or in the postnatal period by ubiquitous, ...19846098971
molecular epidemiology and pathogenesis of some equine herpesvirus type 1 (equine abortion virus) and type 4 (equine rhinopneumonitis virus) isolates.representative strains of ehv isolated from an aborted foetus and from a horse with rhinopneumonitis in new zealand had restriction endonuclease dna fingerprints typical of those usually associated with these syndromes elsewhere and now designated ehv1 and 4 respectively. ehv1 was isolated from the brain and spinal cord of a 4-year-old gelding that died of myeloencephalitis. a mare on the same farm, at about the same time as the gelding developed myeloencephalitis, aborted and ehv1 was isolated ...19846099117
structure and genetic complexity of the genomes of herpesvirus defective-interfering particles associated with oncogenic transformation and persistent infection.the complexity and structural organization of defective-interfering (di) particle dna of equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) have been elucidated by using restriction enzyme and southern blot hybridization analyses. di particles were generated by serial high-multiplicity passage of ehv-1 in l-m cells, and total viral dna was extracted from virus purified from supernatants of these serial passages. ehv-1 di particle dna was quantitatively separated from standard (std) dna by several cycles of cscl ...19846321784

heat-inactivated frog virus 3 selectively inhibits equine herpesvirus type 1 translation in a temporal class-dependent manner.superinfection of equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1)-infected rabbit kidney cells with heat-inactivated frog virus 3 (delta fv3) differentially blocked ehv-1 protein synthesis. the extent of inhibition varied with the specific ehv-1 message, but in general late protein synthesis was inhibited more than early and immediate early translation. since fv3 has been shown to block heterologous rna and protein synthesis, it was necessary to determine whether the observed reduction in herpesvirus protein ...19863727402
genetic relatedness and colinearity of genomes of equine herpesvirus types 1 and 3.the arrangement and location of homologous dna sequences within the genomes of equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) and ehv-3 were investigated by using southern blot hybridization analyses conducted under stringent conditions. recombinant plasmid libraries comprising 95 and 84% of the ehv-1 and ehv-3 genomes, respectively, were labeled with 32p-deoxynucleotides by nick translation and were used as probes in filter hybridization studies. the dna homology between the ehv-1 and ehv-3 genomes was disp ...19863005628
genomic and antigenic comparison of an equine herpesvirus 1 (ehv 1) isolate from the 1983 lippizan abortion storm with ehv 1 reference strains.an ehv 1 isolate from the lippizan stud at piber, which caused the abortion and paresis outbreak in 1983, was investigated using 3 known subtype 1 and 2 subtype 2 strains for comparison. broad-scale restriction enzyme analysis as well as cross-neutralization with hyperimmune sera produced in rabbits were performed, and sds-page of infected cell proteins was conducted on a limited scale. the piber isolate was clearly classified as a subtype 1 strain of ehv 1, and showed closest resemblance in its ...19863012290
specific inhibition of herpesvirus ribonucleotide reductase by synthetic peptides.ribonucleotide reductase is an essential enzyme for dna synthesis in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells; it catalyses the reductive conversion of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides. several herpesviruses including herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1), hsv-2, pseudorabies virus (prv), equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) and epstein-barr virus (ebv) have been found to induce novel ribonucleotide reductase activities. there is evidence that the hsv-1 ribonucleotide reductase activity is virus-e ...19863012359
endothelial cell infection and thrombosis in paralysis caused by equid herpesvirus-1: equine stroke.eight mares were infected with equid herpesvirus-1 subtype 1 isolated from a case of equine paresis. in two mares killed at 4 d.p.i. immunofluorescence showed endothelial cell infection together with thrombosis in the rete arteriosus of the nasal mucosa and also in the spinal cord of one of these mares. circulating platelet counts in the other six mares fell as early as 2 d.p.i. and remained depressed for seven days. circulating immune complexes started to appear at 2 d.p.i., reached maximum lev ...19863015074
equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) induced abortions and paralysis in a lipizzaner stud: a contribution to the classification of equine herpesviruses.out of 30 cases of abortion and perinatal deaths in a lipizzaner stud in austria 10 mares died after having shown central nervous system disturbances, ataxias and paralysis. the etiological agent of this "abortion storm" was equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1). the restriction enzyme pattern of the dna from 5 isolates recovered from fetuses has been analyzed and compared with the known reference strains of ehv-1, -2, -4 and an austrian vaccine strain. the dna restriction profiles of the lipizzaner ...19863015084
foetal and neonatal foal losses on equine herpesvirus type 1(ehv-1) infected farms before and after ehv-1 vaccination was introduced.on 6 farms with a history of ehv-1 abortions the overall prevalence of losses due to abortion, stillbirth and neonatal foal mortality during 5 foaling seasons preceding the introduction of vaccination against ehv-1 were compared with corresponding data for 8 subsequent seasons in which all horses were immunized with a modified live ehv-1 vaccine. although both sporadic and epizootic ehv-1 abortions occurred in immunized mares, the numbers of foetal and neonatal foal losses decreased significantl ...19862830601
