[creation of an avirulent and immunogenic mutant from the rhinopneumonitis virus].an avirulent immunogenic virus strain mutant of the causative agent of rhinopneumonia was found to cause abortions and respiratory diseases in horses. the mutant was obtained with the use of a virulent strain that induced strongly manifested clinical symptoms of the disease, and was cultured in cell media containing 5-iodine-2-desoxiuridine as an antimetabolite, following a definite pattern. it was found that the mutant completely lost its virulence, however, it retained its immunogenicity. it l ...19863024389
rapid method for the identification and screening of herpesviruses by dna fingerprinting combined with blot hybridization.rapid characterization of herpesvirus isolates exemplified by equine herpesviruses is described. total dnas were isolated from virus infected small scale cell cultures. the dna fragments obtained after restriction enzyme digestion were separated on agarose gels, transferred and immobilized on filter membranes. a radioactively labelled probe derived from the purified dna of an ehv-1 reference strain was used for hybridization in order to detect the restriction fragments of different ehv-1 field i ...19863025240
comparative efficacy of three 2'-fluoropyrimidine nucleosides and 9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)guanine (bw b759u) against pseudorabies and equine rhinopneumonitis virus infection in vitro and in laboratory animals.the three 2'-fluoropyrimidine nucleosides 1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-d-arabinofuranosyl)-5-iodocytosine (fiac), 1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-d-arabinofuranosyl)-5-iodouracil (fiau), and 1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-d-arabinofuranosyl)-5-methyluracil (fmau), showed high activity in rk13 monolayers against equine rhinopneumonitis virus, (ehv-1, ic50 range 0.02-0.18 microm), aujeszky's disease virus (shv-1, pseudorabies, ic50 range 0.25-7 microm) and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (1br, bhv-1, ic50 ...19873026244
phosphorylation of nucleoside analogs by equine herpesvirus type 1 pyrimidine deoxyribonucleoside kinase.replication of equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) was sensitive to 9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)guanine(dhpg) but relatively resistant to e-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (bvdu). likewise, plaque formation by ehv-1 was inhibited by dhpg, but not by bvdu. plaque formation by a thymidine kinase-negative (tk-) mutant of ehv-1 was not inhibited by dhpg. in order to investigate biochemical mechanisms determining the differential sensitivity of ehv-1 to these drugs, the ehv-1-encoded thymidine ki ...19873026247
segmental atresia of the transverse colon in a foal with concurrent equine herpes virus-1 infection.segmental atresia of the transverse colon was observed at necropsy in a neonatal foal. the dorsal and ventral components of the large colon were fused, and ended blindly. the small colon was collapsed and completely closed at its cranial end. the right and left dorsal and ventral colons were fused into one blind-ended tube. histologically, eosinophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies demonstrative of equine rhinopneumonitis were present in the thymus.19873032513

the proteins of equid herpesvirus 1 (ehv 1) recognised by equine antisera and their ability to promote antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity.equine sera were used to immunoprecipitate radiolabelled virus-infected cell proteins; subsequent resolution with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis identified the ehv-1 polypeptides vp 2, 10a, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21 and 23a. the humoral support of adcc by these sera was examined in vitro. cytotoxicity could be demonstrated against both subtypes irrespective of the immunising isolate. the implications of these results are discussed.19873035747
use of lambda gt11 and monoclonal antibodies to map the genes for the six major glycoproteins of equine herpesvirus 1.to localize the genes for the major glycoproteins of equine herpesvirus 1 (ehv-1), a library of the ehv-1 genome was constructed in the lambda gt11 expression vector. recombinant bacteriophage expressing ehv-1 glycoprotein epitopes as fusion products with beta-galactosidase were detected by immunoscreening with monoclonal antibodies specific for each of six ehv-1 glycoproteins. seventy-four recombinant lambda gt11 clones reactive with ehv-1 monoclonal antibodies were detected among 4 x 10(5) pha ...19873037108
equine herpesvirus type 1 defective-interfering (di) particle dna structure: the central region of the inverted repeat is deleted from di dna.the inverted repeat (irs) component of the genome of equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) is an important region of structure and function. it is a major constituent of the dna of ehv-1 defective-interfering (di) particles which have been shown to mediate the coestablishment of oncogenic transformation and persistent infection of hamster embryo cells. in addition, the irs encodes the single ehv-1 immediate early gene and the 31.5k very early protein. dna sequences encompassing ehv-1 internal irs an ...19873037774

equine herpes myeloencephalopathy.the neurologic form of ehv-1 infection appears to be the result of central nervous system infarction caused by vasculitis, which is initiated in endothelial cells of small blood vessels. the etiologic agent is equine herpesvirus-1, subtype 1. there is some evidence to suggest that the neurologic form of the disease actually results from reactivation of a previous infection. whether the vasculitis that causes the central nervous system injury is the direct result of the infection or an immune res ...19873040197
antiherpesvirus activity of 9-(4-hydroxy-3-hydroxy-methylbut-1-yl)guanine (brl 39123) in cell culture.the activity of 9-(4-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylbut-1-yl)guanine (brl 39123) against several herpesviruses was compared with that of acyclovir (acv). in plaque reduction tests with clinical isolates of herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1), herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2), and varicella-zoster virus, mean 50% inhibitory concentrations (ic50s) (n = number tested) for brl 39123 were 0.4 (n = 17), 1.5 (n = 13), and 3.1 (n = 5) micrograms/ml, respectively. corresponding ic50s for acv were 0.2, 0.6, an ...19873631945
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
hepatitis due to equine abortion virus. comparison between the liver histology in human, canine, duckling, and equine viral hepatitis.five livers of equine fetuses, aborted due to the action of equine abortion virus, five livers from men, two of whom died of epidemic hepatitis and three obtained by needle biopsies, 5 livers of dogs with infectious canine hepatitis and 7 livers of ducklings that had hepatitis, were studied histopathologically. the foals' livers were studied by several staining methods and the others by h. e. only. the results indicate that the lesions are quite similar in the four species with the appearance of ...19664225286
evidence for a relationship between equine abortion (herpes) virus deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis and the s phase of the kb cell mitotic cycle.autoradiographic analyses of deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) synthesis in randomly growing kb cell cultures infected with equine abortion virus (eav) suggested that viral dna synthesis was initiated only at times that coincided with the entry of noninfected control cells into the s phase of the cell cycle. synchronized cultures of kb cells were infected at different stages of the cell cycle, and rates of synthesis of cellular and viral dna were measured. when cells were infected at different times w ...19714254680
kinetics of viral deoxyribonucleic acid, protein, and infectious particle production and alterations in host macromolecular syntheses in equine abortion (herpes) virus-infected cells.infection of exponential-phase suspension cultures of mouse fibroblast cells (l-m) with equine abortion virus (eav) resulted in inhibition of cell growth and marked alterations in host metabolic processes. the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) and ribonucleic acid was inhibited within 4 hr after infection and was suppressed by more than 90% by the time of maximal virus replication (14 to 18 hr). the overall rate of protein synthesis, however, was similar in uninfected and virus-producing ...19684302745

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

infection of the central nervous system of horses with equine herpesvirus serotype 1.during the last 2 years different equine herpesviruses serotype 1 strains have been isolated from cases of paretic or paralytic disease among horses in the federal republic of germany. in this paper the available information is collated and briefly reviewed. a short description of the symptoms and the possible mechanism of the pathogenesis are given.19816273556
molecular cloning of equine herpesvirus type 1 dna: analysis of standard and defective viral genomes and viral sequences in oncogenically transformed cells.genomic dna sequences of equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) have been cloned as bamhi and ecori restriction fragments into the plasmid pbr322 and propagated in escherichia coli. with the exception of two ecori restriction fragments that reside in the s region of the viral genome, all of the cloned fragments demonstrated the same electrophoretic mobilities, restriction cleavage sites, and blot-hybridization patterns as did the parent fragments produced by bamhi or ecori digestion of virion dna. th ...19816273883
analysis of the genome of equine herpesvirus type 1: arrangement of cleavage sites for restriction endonucleases ecori, bglii and bamhi.the genome of an australian isolate of equine herpesvirus type 1 (equine abortion virus) has been analysed using the restriction endonucleases ecori, bglii and bamhi, and a physical map constructed. terminal fragments were identified by exonuclease treatments, and linkage of fragments was deduced by a combination of single- and double-digest experiments and cross-blot hybridizations. the genome has a mol. wt. of 100 x 10(6) and is comprised of a short unique region bounded by repetitive sequence ...19816275028

an outbreak of paresis in mares and geldings associated with equid herpesvirus 1.an outbreak of paresis occurred on a small isolated stud farm in july 1980. of the 42 horses on the stud, infection was confined to a group of nine in-foal mares and their foals and eight other horses which were either housed together at night or grazed adjacent pastures. eight mares and two geldings developed ataxia or paresis and one mare died. equid herpesvirus 1 was isolated from 17 animals and serological studies confirmed that 24 of 26 animals sampled had experienced infection.19816280366
serologic and molecular comparisons of several equine herpesvirus type 1 strains.the molecular and serologic relatedness of 2 recent respiratory tract isolates of equine herpesvirus type 1, designated t1 and t2, were compared with the army 183, kentucky-a hamster-adapted (kya-ha), and l-m cell-adapted (kya-lm) strains. electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels revealed differences in virion structural proteins among 4 purified strains. seven envelope glycoproteins (molecular weight of 93,000, 65,000, 62,000, 60,000, 36,000, 20,000, and 18,000) corresponding to virion proteins 1 ...19816280520
electron microscopic study of equine herpesvirus type 1 dna.electron microscopic studies of equine herpesvirus dna revealed that single strands that were allowed to reanneal formed single-stranded loops with double-stranded stems only at one end of the molecule. these observations support restriction enzyme analyses which indicate that the 92-megadalton dna molecule exists as a long region of unique sequences covalently linked to a short region. the short region is comprised of an internal unique sequence, which forms the loop during reannealing of singl ...19826283147
