| molecular diagnosis of alcelaphine herpesvirus (malignant catarrhal fever) infections by nested amplification of viral dna in bovine blood buffy coat specimens. | a fragment of alcelaphine herpesvirus-1 (ahv-1; malignant catarrhal fever) dna was subcloned into puc 18 and sequenced. the subclone hybridized strongly to ahv-1 dna, weakly to alcelaphine herpesvirus-2 (ahv-2) dna, and not at all to dna from bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1; infectious bovine rhinotracheitis [ibr] virus), bovine herpesvirus-2 (bhv-2; bovine herpes mamillitis [bhm] virus), and bovine herpesvirus-4 (bhv-4; isolate dn599). a 2-stage (nested) polymerase chain reaction (pcr) diagnostic t ... | 1991 | 1911989 |
| detection and multigenic characterization of a herpesvirus associated with malignant catarrhal fever in white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) from missouri. | between 1998 and 2001, tissues from four captive white-tailed deer were observed to have histologic lesions of systemic lymphocytic vasculitis. these lesions suggested malignant catarrhal fever, although epizootic hemorrhagic disease and bluetongue were included in the differential diagnosis. initial diagnostic efforts, including virus isolation and reverse transcription-pcr for epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus and bluetongue virus, failed to identify an etiologic agent. however, consensus pr ... | 2002 | 11923350 |
| malignant catarrhal fever-like disease in barbary red deer (cervus elaphus barbarus) naturally infected with a virus resembling alcelaphine herpesvirus 2. | eight barbary red deer (cervus elaphus barbarus) developed clinical signs suggestive of malignant catarrhal fever (mcf) over a 28-day period. these animals were housed outdoors with four other species of ruminants. affected red deer had lethargy, ocular signs, and nasal discharge and were euthanatized within 48 h. lesions included ulcers of the muzzle, lips, and oral cavity associated with infiltrates of neutrophils and lymphocytes. serologically, six of seven red deer tested during the outbreak ... | 2002 | 12202582 |
| malignant catarrhal fever in american bison (bison bison) experimentally infected with alcelaphine herpesvirus 2. | malignant catarrhal fever (mcf), due to ovine herpesvirus 2 (ovhv-2), causes appreciable death loss in ranched bison (bison bison) throughout north america. no vaccine exists to protect animals from disease. since ovhv-2 has not been propagated in vitro, one strategy to develop a modified live vaccine is to use a closely related, non-pathogenic member of the malignant catarrhal fever virus family as a vector expressing potentially protective ovhv-2 epitopes. to date, no controlled experimental c ... | 2014 | 24803260 |
