| biological properties of phocine distemper virus and canine distemper virus. | morbilliviruses constitute a major threat to the health of animal and man. to date the morbillivirus genus in the paramyxoviridae family comprises five established members, namely canine distemper virus (cdv), phocine distemper virus (pdv), measles virus (mv), rinderpest virus (rpv), and peste-des-petits-ruminants virus (pprv). in addition, morbillivirus candidates infecting aquatic mammals were recently discovered. the present review on the biology of morbilliviruses focuses on knowledge gained ... | 1993 | 8268007 |
| evidence for different lineages of rinderpest virus reflecting their geographic isolation. | sequence analysis of part of the fusion protein gene from recent isolates of rinderpest virus revealed that distinct lineages of the virus exist which reflect the geographical location of their isolation in africa and asia. current strains circulating in kenya and sudan were most similar, both in terms of nucleotide sequence and pathogenic nature, to viruses isolated in egypt and in nigeria in 1983/1984 and they were quite distinct from an east african isolate (rbt-1) from the 1960s. two older i ... | 1993 | 8277286 |
| rinderpest vaccination responses among calves and adult cattle in uganda monitored using elisa assay. | responses to the plowright rinderpest vaccine by 43 calves and 70 adult cattle in uganda in 1990, through the production of igg antibodies, were monitored for 4 weeks using the elisa assay. 80% of the calves were seronegative before vaccination of which 32% remained seronegative and 68% subsequently seroconverted at 2 weeks postvaccination. 20% of the calves were seropositive before vaccination but registered a decline during the 2nd and 4th weeks postvaccination. 50% of adult ankole cattle sero ... | 1993 | 8281740 |
| single capripoxvirus recombinant vaccine for the protection of cattle against rinderpest and lumpy skin disease. | a recombinant capripoxvirus has been constructed containing a full-length cdna of the fusion protein gene of rinderpest virus. the gene was inserted in the thymidine kinase gene of the capripox genome under the control of the vaccinia virus major late promoter p11 together with the escherichia coli gpt gene in the opposite orientation under the control of the vaccinia early/late promoter p7.5. a vaccine prepared from this recombinant virus protected cattle against clinical rinderpest after a let ... | 1993 | 8342321 |
| expression in baculovirus vector system of the nucleocapsid protein gene of rinderpest virus. | the rinderpest (rv) nucleocapsid (np) gene segment was inserted into the genome of autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (acnpv) adjacent to the polyhedrin promoter. the expression of np protein in sf9 cells was confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence and by western blotting analysis with monoclonal antibodies. recombinant rv-np protein was purified by ultracentrifugation on a sucrose density gradient, and used as an antigen for an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay to detect anti rv ... | 1993 | 8366167 |
| effect of gamma irradiation on reactivity of rinderpest virus antigen with bovine immune serum in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and virus neutralization and indirect fluorescent-antibody tests. | gamma irradiation effectively inactivated gradient-purified rinderpest virus. irradiated antigen and sera remained functional in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, virus neutralization tests, and indirect fluorescent-antibody tests. irradiation, however, led to a dose-dependent decrease in reactivity, particularly significant (p < 0.05) when both reagents were irradiated. to avoid false-positive reactions, only one reagent (serum or antigen) may be irradiated. | 1993 | 8432831 |
| immunological responses of mice and cattle to baculovirus-expressed f and h proteins of rinderpest virus: lack of protection in the presence of neutralizing antibody. | rinderpest is a highly contagious viral disease of ruminants and has greater than 95% morbidity and mortality. the etiological agent, rinderpest virus (rpv), is a member of the family paramyxoviridae and the genus morbillivirus. immune responses to both the hemagglutinin (h) and the fusion (f) antigens of morbilliviruses play an important role in the prevention of infection, and only attenuated live vaccines have been shown to provide protective immunity against the group. the lack of protection ... | 1993 | 8437215 |
| the use of thermostable vero cell-adapted rinderpest vaccine as a heterologous vaccine against peste des petits ruminants. | the thermostable vero cell-adapted rinderpest vaccine was evaluated in terms of immunogenicity as a heterologous vaccine against peste des petits ruminants. a titration to establish the minimum immunising dose was performed in american mixed breed goats by vaccinating test subjects with dilutions of vero cell-adapted rinderpest vaccine and then challenging 26 days later with virulent peste des petits ruminants virus. all animals were followed for virus neutralising antibodies against both rinder ... | 1993 | 8460262 |
| characterization of morbilliviruses isolated from dolphins and porpoises in europe. | a previously unidentified morbillivirus was isolated from two harbour porpoises (phocoena phocoena) that had died in the dutch waddensea (north sea) in 1990. this porpoise morbillivirus (pmv) and a dolphin morbillivirus (dmv), which had recently caused a heavy mortality in mediterranean striped dolphins (stenella coeruleoalba), were compared antigenically with other members of the genus morbillivirus, including the newly recognized phocine distemper virus type 1. dmv and pmv proved to be similar ... | 1993 | 8468554 |
| antibody levels determined by an appropriate technology (hi) in local cattle following anti-rinderpest campaign in nigeria. | the levels of antibodies against rinderpest measured by the haemagglutination inhibition (hi) test were titrated in 640 randomly collected sera. out of 640 samples, 586 (91%) exhibited high titres of > 4 while 54 (9%) had low titres of < or = 4. of the 400 samples collected in zaria, 354 (88.5%) had high titres while 46 (11.5%) had low titres. in funtua, 140 samples were collected with 132 (94.3%) recording high titres while 8 (5.7%) had low titres. all samples (100) collected from shika had hig ... | 1993 | 8470425 |
| monoclonal antibody-based blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for specific detection and titration of peste-des-petits-ruminants virus antibody in caprine and ovine sera. | a blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (b-elisa), using two neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mabs), was established and compared with the virus neutralization test (vnt) for detecting specific peste-des-petits-ruminants virus (pprv) antibody in caprine and ovine sera. this technique was developed because vnt, the only available specific serological test for pprv and the cross-reactive rinderpest virus (rpv), is time-consuming and unaffordable for most laboratories in regions where both ... | 1993 | 8501207 |
| prevalence of morbilliviruses among pinniped and cetacean species. | since 1987, morbillivirus infections have caused serious disease outbreaks with high mortality among aquatic mammals. baikal seals (phoca sibirica) in siberia were involved in an outbreak caused by a virus closely related to canine distemper virus (cdv) in 1987. harbour seals (phoca vitulina) and grey seals (halichoerus grypus) in north-western europe were struck by a newly recognised morbillivirus of seals (pdv1). a serological survey has indicated that these morbillivirus infections frequently ... | 1993 | 8518442 |
| cloning and expression of the nucleocapsid gene of virulent kabete o strain of rinderpest virus in baculovirus: use in differential diagnosis between vaccinated and infected animals. | rinderpest (rp) is a viral disease of ruminants with > 95% morbidity and mortality. we have cloned the cdna of the nucleocapsid (n) gene of the virulent kabete o strain of rinderpest virus (rpvk) and compared its nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences with those of the n genes of the lapinized strain of rinderpest virus (rpvl), measles virus (mv), and canine distemper virus (cdv). the gene has an open reading frame of 1575 nucleotides and encodes a protein of 525 amino acids with a molecula ... | 1994 | 8259649 |
| distribution of antigen in cattle infected with rinderpest virus. | five holstein heifers (approximately 8 months of age and weighing 225-275 kg) were inoculated subcutaneously with 1,000 tcid50 of rinderpest virus, virulent kabete o strain. they become clinically ill 2 to 5 days post-inoculation, with fever (40 c to 41.5 c), conjunctivitis, and diarrhea. all were euthanatized when moribund at 6 days postinoculation. the following tissues were collected in formalin, embedded in paraffin, and subsequently subjected to histopathologic and immunohistochemical exami ... | 1994 | 8203082 |
| the detection of antibodies against peste des petits ruminants virus in cattle, sheep and goats and the possible implications to rinderpest control programmes. | monoclonal antibody-based competitive elisa (c-elisa) have been used for the specific measurement of antibodies to both rinderpest and peste des petits ruminants (ppr) viruses in cattle, sheep and goats. examination of serum samples from sheep and goats in gambia, before and after vaccination with rinderpest vaccine, suggested that antibodies to ppr virus could prevent an immune response to the rinderpest vaccine. cattle sera from nigeria and ghana showed a high prevalence of antibody against pp ... | 1994 | 8119361 |
| cloning and sequence analysis of the matrix (m) protein gene of rinderpest virus and evidence for another bovine morbillivirus. | we have cloned and sequenced the entire m gene of the vaccine strain of rinderpest virus and that of the virulent kabete "o" strain from which it was derived. the sequences of these two genes are essentially identical (99% at the nucleotide level), but were very different from a previously published kabete o m gene sequence (m. limo and t. yilma, 1990, virology 175, 323-327). inspection of the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of known morbillivirus m genes showed that the earlier sequ ... | 1994 | 8128616 |
| protection of cattle against rinderpest and lumpy skin disease with a recombinant capripoxvirus expressing the fusion protein gene of rinderpest virus. | cattle were protected against challenge with rinderpest and lumpy skin disease viruses by vaccination with a recombinant capripoxvirus containing the fusion protein (f) gene of rinderpest virus. the minimum protective immunising doses for rinderpest and lumpy skin disease were 5.5 x 10(4) plaque forming units (pfu) and 1.5 x 10(3) pfu, respectively. | 1994 | 7880246 |
| nucleotide sequence comparisons of the fusion protein gene from virulent and attenuated strains of rinderpest virus. | we have cloned and sequenced the entire fusion (f) protein gene of the rbok vaccine strain of rinderpest virus and the coding regions for the f genes of two mild field isolates of the virus from africa. analysis of the nucleotide and the predicted amino acid sequences showed that the vaccine virus was more than 99% identical in the protein coding region to the virulent kabete o strain from which it was derived, whereas the field isolates differed by 10 to 12% from each other and from the vaccine ... | 1994 | 7996154 |
| progress in the development of a heat-stable recombinant rinderpest vaccine using an attenuated vaccinia virus vector. | rinderpest is a fatal infectious disease of cattle and buffalo, and is prevalent in many parts of the developing world. eradication campaigns are at present under way in africa, the middle east and south asia. as these regions have very hot climates, it is difficult and expensive to establish reliable cold chains to deliver heat-sensitive vaccines and, for this reason, many previous vaccination/eradication campaigns have been ineffective. to overcome the problem of vaccine heat-lability, a recom ... | 1994 | 7949348 |
| immunodetection of rice dwarf phytoreoviral proteins in both insect and plant hosts. | peptides encoded by truncated (s1 and s2) or full-length (s3 to s11) cdnas of 11 of the 12 rice dwarf phytoreovirus (rdv) genome segments were expressed in a baculovirus vector system. antibodies raised against each of the expressed peptides were used as probes to detect the authentic proteins encoded by the rdv open reading frame. polypeptides identified as gene products of s1 to s11 in both rdv-infected rice leaf and leafhopper (nephotettix cincticeps) homogenates were the p1 minor core (170 k ... | 1994 | 8009852 |
