| [epidemiological characterization of a pestivirus isolate from a viremic pig out of a mixed pig-cattle herd]. | a pestivirus isolated from a healthy pig out of a mixed pig-cattle holding was identified by use of monoclonal antibodies as a porcine virus related or identical to bovine viral diarrhoea (bvd) virus. about 7% of the pigs of this herd showed neutralizing antibodies (nab) against bvd and border disease (bd) virus and against the homologous porcine nonclassical swine fever (csf) pestivirus isolate 10421/han94. the nab titres against this virus were clearly higher than against csf virus strain alfo ... | 1995 | 8593767 |
| classical swine fever virus npro interacts with interferon regulatory factor 3 and induces its proteasomal degradation. | viruses have evolved a multitude of strategies to subvert the innate immune system by interfering with components of the alpha/beta interferon (ifn-alpha/beta) induction and signaling pathway. it is well established that the pestiviruses prevent ifn-alpha/beta induction in their primary target cells, such as epitheloidal and endothelial cells, macrophages, and conventional dendritic cells, a phenotype mediated by the viral protein n(pro). central players in the ifn-alpha/beta induction cascade a ... | 2007 | 17215286 |
| atypical porcine pestivirus as a novel type of pestivirus in pigs in china. | pestiviruses are highly variable rna viruses. a growing number of novel pestiviruses has been discovered in domestic and wild species in the last two decades. recently, a novel atypical porcine pestivirus (appv) linked with the development of congenital tremor (ct) in neonatal pigs was described in europe and the americas. here, the first asian appv complete polyprotein coding sequence was assembled from serum samples from newborn piglets affected with ct in southern china, and termed appv_gd. 1 ... | 2017 | 28553280 |

| frequent infection of wild boar with atypical porcine pestivirus (appv). | the recently identified atypical porcine pestivirus (appv) was demonstrated to be the causative agent of the neurological disorder "congenital tremor" in newborn piglets. despite its relevance and wide distribution in domestic pigs, so far nothing is known about the situation in wild boar, representing an important wild animal reservoir for the related classical swine fever virus. in this study, 456 wild boar serum samples obtained from northern germany were investigated for the presence of appv ... | 2018 | 29527814 |
| discovery of a novel putative atypical porcine pestivirus in pigs in the usa. | pestiviruses are some of the most significant pathogens affecting ruminants and swine. here, we assembled a 11 276 bp contig encoding a predicted 3635 aa polyprotein from porcine serum with 68 % pairwise identity to that of a recently partially characterized rhinolophus affinis pestivirus (rapv) and approximately 25-28 % pairwise identity to those of other pestiviruses. the virus was provisionally named atypical porcine pestivirus (appv). metagenomic sequencing of 182 serum samples identified fo ... | 2015 | 26219947 |
| identification of a divergent lineage porcine pestivirus in nursing piglets with congenital tremors and reproduction of disease following experimental inoculation. | congenital tremors is a sporadic disease of neonatal pigs characterized by action-related repetitive myoclonus. a majority of outbreaks of congenital tremors have been attributed to an unidentified virus. the objectives of this project were to 1) detect potential pathogen(s) in samples from piglets with congenital tremors and 2) develop an infection model to reproduce disease. using next-generation sequencing, a divergent lineage pestivirus was detected in piglets with congenital tremors. the vi ... | 2016 | 26909691 |
| presence of atypical porcine pestivirus (appv) genomes in newborn piglets correlates with congenital tremor. | pestiviruses are highly variable rna viruses belonging to the continuously growing family flaviviridae. a genetically very distinct pestivirus was recently discovered in the usa, designated atypical porcine pestivirus (appv). here, a screening of 369 sera from apparently healthy adult pigs demonstrated the existence of appv in germany with an estimated individual prevalence of 2.4% and ~10% at farm level. additionally, appv genomes were detected in newborn piglets affected by congenital tremor ( ... | 2016 | 27292119 |
| high prevalence of highly variable atypical porcine pestiviruses found in germany. | recently, a novel atypical porcine pestivirus (appv) with significant distribution was described in the usa. subsequent screening of the german pig sector showed a high prevalence of appv with high variability among strains. first indication of a cell culture isolate is provided which will allow further investigations like pathogenesis studies. | 2016 | 27297961 |
| atypical porcine pestivirus: a possible cause of congenital tremor type a-ii in newborn piglets. | congenital tremor type a-ii in piglets has been regarded as a transmissible disease since the 1970s, possibly caused by a very recently-described virus: atypical porcine pestivirus (appv). here, we describe several strains of appv in piglets with clinical signs of congenital tremor (10 of 10 farms tested). piglets on a farm with no history of congenital tremor were pcr-negative for the virus. to demonstrate a causal relationship between appv and disease, three gilts were inoculated via intramusc ... | 2016 | 27782037 |
| congenital infection with atypical porcine pestivirus (appv) is associated with disease and viral persistence. | in 2013, several austrian piglet-producing farms recorded outbreaks of action-related repetitive myoclonia in newborn piglets ("shaking piglets"). malnutrition was seen in numerous piglets as a complication of this tremor syndrome. overall piglet mortality was increased and the number of weaned piglets per sow decreased by more than 10% due to this outbreak. histological examination of the cns of affected piglets revealed moderate hypomyelination of the white substance in cerebellum and spinal c ... | 2017 | 28057061 |
| novel pestivirus species in pigs, austria, 2015. | a novel pestivirus species was discovered in a piglet-producing farm in austria during virologic examinations of congenital tremor cases. the emergence of this novel pestivirus species, provisionally termed linda virus, in domestic pigs may have implications for classical swine fever virus surveillance and porcine health management. | 2017 | 28628456 |
