association of microbiologic flora with clinical, endoscopic, and pulmonary cytologic findings in foals with distal respiratory tract infection.undifferentiated distal respiratory tract disease (nasal discharge, cough, pneumonia) in foals (1 to 8 months old) is a burdensome economic problem on breeding farms; yet, the infective agents associated with these episodes have not been well described. possible causes of these episodes of illness were investigated by culturing specimens of proximal and distal airways of clinically diseased foals (n = 101), prior to any treatment, for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and viruses (rhinoviruses, equ ...19938250386
complement-dependent serum neutralization with virulent and avirulent bucyrus strains of equine arteritis virus.virulent and avirulent strains of bucyrus equine arteritis virus (eav) were used to raise antiserum in horses. serum neutralization (sn) tests were performed with and without the addition of guinea pig complement. the inclusion of ten percent guinea pig serum in the virus suspension was sufficient for optimal enhancement of sn titres at any immune stages after immunization. immune serum prepared against avirulent virus reacted only with homologous virus and there was no complement enhancement. i ...19938273282
a 29k envelope glycoprotein of equine arteritis virus expresses neutralization determinants recognized by murine monoclonal antibodies.a panel of six neutralizing murine monoclonal antibodies (mabs) to equine arteritis virus (eav) was produced. the mabs were characterized by western immunoblotting assay and competitive elisa. the six mabs identify a single neutralization site on a 29k envelope glycoprotein. deglycosylation of viral proteins prior to immunoblotting showed that the 29k protein is the glycosylated form of a 20k protein. equine anti-eav serum also strongly bound the 29k glycoprotein, as well as an unglycosylated pr ...19937504076
prevalence of antibodies against some equine viruses in zebra (zebra burchelli) in the kruger national park, 1991-1992.the presence of antibodies against equine encephalosis virus (eev) and equid herpesvirus 1 and 4 in zebra in the kruger national park (knp) was demonstrated. the ability of zebra to maintain immunity against eev is illustrated by the appearance of neutralizing antibodies in most zebra foals within months of losing their maternal immunity. this occurs in every month of the year, even in winter. the high proportion of serologically positive foals in winter is ascribed to the presence of large numb ...19937970572
art-ch, a new chicken retroviruslike element.a 3' region of a previously unknown retroviruslike element named art-ch (avian retrotransposon from chicken genome) was obtained in the course of polymerase chain reaction-mediated cloning of avian leukosis virus long terminal repeats (ltrs) from dnas of infected chicken cells. about 50 copies of art-ch are present in the genome of chickens of different breeds. art-ch is not found in dna of quails, ducks, turkeys, or several other birds tested. the art-ch element is about 3 kb in size, including ...19921310773

equine arteritis virus: an overview.the causative agent of the respiratory disease equine viral arteritis is a small, single-stranded rna virus with a genome organization and replication strategy related to that of coronaviruses and toroviruses. clinical signs of infection in horses vary widely and severe infection can lead to pregnant mares aborting. infected horses generally make good recoveries but stallions may become semen shedders of equine arteritis virus (eav). these carrier stallions play an important role in the dissemin ...19921319787
multiple complex families of endogenous retroviruses are highly conserved in the genus gallus.we have analyzed the genome of the domestic chicken for the presence of genetic sequences related to the envelope protein-encoding genes of avian sarcoma/leukosis retroviruses to determine the organization, structure, potential functionality, and distribution of such sequences. we have previously identified in the genus gallus an extensive group of endogenous avian retroviruses termed eav-0. southern blot and sequence analysis presented here of eav-0 elements revealed that the majority of the ea ...19921321278
[three cases of virus isolation from horse fetuses diagnosed with equine arteritis virus (eav) abortion from stud farms with different breeds].three cases of abortions were diagnosed as caused by equine arteritis virus (eav) by isolation and typing of this virus from the respective fetuses. all 3 abortions were single cases, one occurring on a stud with iceland ponies, one with warmbloods, one with lipizzaner horses. on each stud horses of the respective breed were kept exclusively, therefore there existed no epidemiologic link. by means of seroneutralization tests performed on in contact horses it could be shown, that eav had only bee ...19921323268
structural proteins of equine arteritis virus.we have recently shown that the genome of equine arteritis virus (eav) contains seven open reading frames (orfs). we now present data on the structural proteins of eav and the assignment of their respective genes. virions are composed of a 14-kda nucleocapsid protein (n) and three membrane proteins designated m, gs, and gl. m is an unglycosylated protein of 16 kda, and gs and gl are n-glycosylated proteins of 25 and 30 to 42 kda, respectively. the broad size distribution of gl results from heter ...19921328669
the 5' end of the equine arteritis virus replicase gene encodes a papainlike cysteine protease.the presence of a papainlike cysteine protease (pcp) domain in the n-terminal region of the equine arteritis virus (eav) replicase, which had been postulated on the basis of limited sequence similarities with cellular and viral thiol proteases, was confirmed by in vitro translation and mutagenesis studies. the eav protease was found to direct an autoproteolytic cleavage at its c terminus which leads to the production of an approximately 30-kda n-terminal replicase product (nsp1) containing the p ...19921331507
genomic variability among globally distributed isolates of equine arteritis virus.equine arteritis virus (eav), a non-arthropod borne togavirus, has been shown to have a global distribution. to date, no major antigenic variation has been demonstrated between eav isolates from different geographic origins. in this study, the genomic rna of eav isolates obtained from horses of different breeds in various countries around the world was oligonucleotide fingerprinted. comparisons of these fingerprints were used to determine the extent of genomic variation among such isolates. comp ...19921332249

results of an epidemiological investigation on viral arteritis in france and some other european and african countries.an original microplate seroneutralization technique was developed in order to study the existence of antibodies against equine viral arteritis. the technique involves a high amount of complement, and has allowed to demonstrate antibodies in 18.5% out of 4,037 horses examined. titers varied not or little during periods as long as 6 years. among 3,324 sera samples from french horses, a 15.2% frequency of antibodies was shown. the infection level was not very different between breeds, which is diff ...1978213008

hemagglutination by equine infectious anemia virus.equine infectious anemia (eia) virus which was propagated on an equine dermal cell line agglutinated guinea pig erythrocytes. viral fluids containing about 10(7.5) mean tissue culture infective doses/ml showed hemagglutinating (ha) titers ranging from 16 to 32 units/0.05 ml. results of cesium chloride equilibrium density gradient centrifugation revealed that the hemagglutinin was inseparable from the virus particles. the hemagglutination reaction persisted over a wide range of temperature and ph ...19769361
isolation of c1q-binding immune complexes by affinity chromatography and desorption with a diaminoalkyl compound.the applicability of affinity chromatography to the isolation of c1q-binding immune complexes (ic) in sera was explored. purified human c1q was covalently coupled to agarose or adsorbed to igg-agarose resins. sera containing preformed virus-antibody complexes or rheumatoid arthritis (ra) sera were passed through the columns and c1q-bound ic, eluted off with 1,4-diaminobutan at mild basic conditions, were analysed by immunodiffusion, crossed immunoelectrophoresis, gel filtration and electron micr ...1976773099
antigenic relationship between the surface antigens of avian and equine influenze viruses.influenza virus equine 1 (a/equine/prague/56) has a hemagglutinin which is antigenically related to the hemagglutinin of fowl plague virus strain rostock (fpv) and a neuraminidase which cross-reacts with the enzyme of virus n (a/chick/germany/49). after a single injection of chickens with equine 1 virus no hemagglutination inhibiting (hi) and neutralizing antibodies against fpv can be demonstrated, although the birds are fully protected against a lethal dose of fpv. hi and neutralizing antibodie ...197553781

efficacy of 9-beta-d-arabinofuranosylhypoxanthine 5'-monophosphate in therapy of equine abortion virus-induced hepatitis in hamsters.equine abortion virus (eav)-induced hepatitis in hamsters presents an interesting animal model for the evaluation of drugs possessing anti-deoxyribonucleic acid virus activity. these experiments demonstrate that 9-beta-d-arabinofuranosylhypoxanthine 5'-monophosphate (ara-hxmp), a new synthetic, water-soluble, antiviral agent, effectively controls this disease in hamsters with a therapeutic index of approximately 60. ara-hxmp prevented hepatitis-associated deaths in hamsters, reduced the titer of ...1975172009
