| characterization of rkz isolate of ovine herpesvirus 1. | cytopathic effect (cpe) characterized mainly by foci of rounded cells was observed in cultures of primary plexus choroideus cells from healthy lamb following cryopreservation. it was possible to transmit the infectious agent to other primary cells of ovine origin by co-cultivation with infected cells. by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy it was found that high percentage of sheep (65-80% in 3 different herds from slovakia) are infected with this infectious agent. electron microscopy of cell ... | 2000 | 11332276 |
| ovine herpesvirus 1 (ovhv-1) thymidine kinase locus sequence analysis: evidence that ovhv-1 belongs to the macavirus genus of the gammaherpesvirinae subfamily. | the hindiii-hincii fragment of the 5.5 kbp h11 hindiii clone of ovine herpesvirus 1 (ovhv-1) was cloned and its primary structure was determined by preparation of nested deletion subclones and their sequencing. sequence analysis of the overlapping clones revealed that 3239 bp ovhv-1 fragment contains complete thymidine kinase (tk) gene, a partial open reading frame of orf20 and that encoding glycoprotein h (gh). the conserved ovhv-1 tk displayed the highest similarity to homologous tk proteins e ... | 2014 | 24957726 |
| epidemiology, disease and control of infections in ruminants by herpesviruses--an overview. | there are at least 16 recognised herpesviruses that naturally infect cattle, sheep, goats and various species of deer and antelopes. six of the viruses are recognised as distinct alphaherpesviruses and 9 as gammaherpesviruses. buffalo herpesvirus (bflhv) and ovine herpesvirus-1 (ovhv-1) remain officially unclassified. the prevalence of ruminant herpesviruses varies from worldwide to geographically restricted in distribution. viruses in both subfamilies alphaherpesvirinae and gammaherpesvirinae c ... | 2008 | 18678185 |
