| widespread occurrence in australian marsupials of neutralizing antibodies to a herpesvirus from a parma wallaby. | serum neutralizing antibodies to a parma wallaby herpesvirus (pwhv) have been detected in a wide range of marsupials from different locations across australia, including several islands. a study of 242 animals (mostly macropods) sampled in the wild showed that 23% had antibodies; a significantly higher frequency (41%) of 116 animals in captivity had antibodies, which were generally at higher levels than those of animals in the wild. antibodies to pwhv were also detected among parma wallabies fro ... | 1978 | 213046 |
| structure and physical map of the genome of parma wallaby herpesvirus. | the dna of parma wallaby herpesvirus (macropodid herpesvirus 1; mhv-1) was analysed by restriction mapping and southern hybridizations, and clones of ecori and sali fragments were prepared which represented approximately 85% of the genome. it has a length of about 135 kbp consisting of a long unique sequence joined to a short unique sequence bounded by inverted repeat sequences, and occurs as 2 isomers. these findings place mhv-1 in the herpesvirus structural classification group d, along with e ... | 1990 | 1964521 |
| parma wallaby herpesvirus infection. | three parma wallabies (macropus parma) were inoculated with a herpesvirus recovered from a captive parma wallaby with fatal naturally-occurring disease. two intravenously inoculated animals died after 5 days and one animal infected via the conjunctiva and nasal mucosa was killed when moribund at 7 days. an additional two wallabies held in contact with the others became infected; they were killed at 11 days, when one was severely affected and one was mildly affected. all had small vesicles and ul ... | 1981 | 6273601 |
