detection of antibodies to a disease-associated herpesvirus of the green turtle, chelonia mydas. | lung-eye-trachea disease-associated herpesvirus (letv) is linked with morbidity and mortality in mariculture-reared green turtles, but its prevalence among and impact on wild marine turtle populations is unknown. an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was developed for detection of anti-letv antibodies and could distinguish letv-exposed green turtles from those with antibodies to fibropapillomatosis-associated herpesvirus (fphv). plasma from two captive-reared green turtles immunized with ... | 2001 | 11574574 |
use of baculovirus-expressed glycoprotein h in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay developed to assess exposure to chelonid fibropapillomatosis-associated herpesvirus and its relationship to the prevalence of fibropapillomatosis in sea turtles. | chelonid fibropapillomatosis-associated herpesvirus (cfphv) is an alphaherpesvirus believed to cause marine turtle fibropapillomatosis (fp). a serodiagnostic assay was developed for monitoring sea turtle populations for cfphv exposure. cfphv glycoprotein h (gh) expressed in recombinant baculovirus was used in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) to detect virus-specific 7s turtle antibodies. using captive-reared green turtles (chelonia mydas) with no history of virus exposure as "known n ... | 2008 | 18367581 |
