Virus isolation, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization were compared for the detection of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) and porcine parvovirus (PPV) from experimentally and naturally coinfected pigs. All coinfected pigs developed postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), characterized by sudden onset of depression and anorexia. Microscopically, granulomatous inflammation with intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies was present in lymph node from all coinfected pigs at 32 days postinoculation. Of the 200 tissues from 20 experimentally coinfected pigs evaluated, 99 and 58 tissues were positive for PCV2 and PPV, respectively, by 4 techniques. Virus isolation, PCR, immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization identified PCV2 infection in 137, 148, 103, and 129 tissues and PPV infection in 107, 132, 59, and 94 tissues. Of the 200 tissues from 20 naturally coinfected pigs evaluated, 109 and 45 tissues were positive for PCV2 and PPV, respectively, by 4 techniques. Virus isolation, PCR, immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization identified PCV2 infection in 144, 155, 113, and 139 tissues and PPV infection in 93, 109, 45, and 82 tissues. Because the characteristic microscopic lesions are important criteria for the diagnosis of clinical PMWS, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization for the detection of PCV2 and PPV in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues provide confirmation of a histopathological diagnosis of PMWS.  相似文献

A multiplex seminested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed for the simultaneous detection and differentiation among porcine circovirus 1 (PCV1), PCV2, and porcine parvovirus (PPV) from boar semen. Primers of PCV1, PCV2 and PPV were specific and did not react with other viruses respectively. Twenty (20.4%) and 42 (42.9%) out of 98 whole semen samples were found to be positive for PCV and PPV using multiplex conventional and seminested PCR, respectively. When the separated fractions of PCV or PPV-contaminated semen were analyzed using multiplex seminested PCR, PCV and PPV DNA were found to be present mainly in the seminal fluid and nonsperm cell fractions. This multiplex seminested PCR assay was sensitive, rapid and a good alternative method for the detection and differentiation of these viruses in boar semen.  相似文献

A technique for double in situ hybridization to simultaneously detect porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) and porcine parvovirus (PPV) in the same tissue section was developed and applied to lymph node and spleen from 8 pigs experimentally coinfected with PCV2 and PPV and 20 pigs with naturally occurring postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome. For double labeling studies, the tissue samples were processed sequentially, first for PPV in situ hybridization using a digoxigenin-labeled probe and then for PCV2 in situ hybridization using a biotinylated probe. Positive cells contained reaction products for PCV2 and PPV, respectively. Both PCV2 DNA and PPV DNA were observed mainly in the cytoplasm but occasionally in the nucleus. With double in situ hybridization, both PCV2 DNA and PPV DNA were simultaneously detected in lymph node and spleen. This double labeling technique for the detection of PCV2 and PPV is suitable both for pathogenesis studies and for diagnostic applications.  相似文献

Postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) is an emerging disease in swine. Recently, the disease has been reproduced with inocula containing a newly described porcine circovirus (PCV), designated PCV 2, and porcine parvovirus (PPV). In order to determine if these viruses interact in naturally acquired PMWS, affected tissues from field cases were examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for PCV 2 and PPV, as well as by PCR for the other recognized porcine circovirus, PCV 1. Porcine circovirus 2 was detected by PCR or IHC in affected fixed or frozen tissues from 69 of 69 cases of PMWS collected over 3 years from 25 farms. Porcine parvovirus was detected in 12 of the same cases, and PCV 1 was detected in 9 of 69; however, an apparent decrease was found in the sensitivity of the PCRs used to detect the latter 2 viruses when fixed tissue from the same cases were compared with the use of frozen tissues. Porcine circovirus 2 was not detected by PCR in affected tissues from 16 age-matched pigs that had Streptococcus suis-associated disease. Electron microscopic examination of plasma pooled from 15 pigs with PMWS revealed the presence of PCV and PPV, whereas these viruses were not observed in pooled plasma from 5 age-matched clinically normal pigs. These results confirm and extend previous findings documenting a consistent association of PCV 2 with PMWS. As well, infection by PPV or PCV 1 or both may be an important cofactor in the pathogenesis of some, but apparently not all, cases of PMWS.  相似文献

Double in situ hybridization using a digoxigenin-labelled porcine circovirus 1 (PCV1) and biotinylated PCV2 probe, was developed for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of PCV1 and PCV2 in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from pigs with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome. The combination of an alkaline phosphatase conjugated antidigoxigenin system with alkaline phosphatase conjugated streptavidin-biotin system allowed identification of PCV1 and/or PCV2. No evidence of cross-reaction was observed. Positive cells exhibited a red or dark brown reaction product for PCV1 and PCV2, respectively. Both PCV DNAs were observed mainly in the cytoplasm but occasionally in the nucleus. Co-localization of hybridization signal for both PCV1 and PCV2 was present in macrophages and multinucleated giant cells of the lymph node and spleen. This double-labelling technique for the differentiation between PCV1 and PCV2 is suitable for pathogenesis studies and diagnostic applications.  相似文献

This report describes an experimental infection with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) in combination with porcine parvovirus (PPV) in 3-week-old conventional colostrum-fed pigs with maternal antibodies to both viruses. Two groups of four pigs each were inoculated with PCV2 and PPV. One of the groups received also a commercial inactivated vaccine against porcine pleuropneumonia to evaluate possible effects of the stimulation of the immune system of pigs on the infection. Another group of four pigs was kept as uninfected control. Clinical signs, rectal temperatures and body weights were recorded. Serum antibody titers to PCV2 and PPV were determined at weekly intervals. Pigs were killed 42 days after inoculation and tissue samples were examined for the presence of gross and microscopic lesions. Tissues were also analyzed for the presence of PCV2 and PPV DNA by PCR, and for the presence of PCV2 antigen by immunohistochemistry (IHC). All the pigs had serum antibodies to PCV2 and PPV at the beginning of the trial. None of them developed clinical symptoms or pathological lesions typical of post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), a disease associated to PCV2 infection. However, IHC and/or PCR analyses showed that clinically silent PCV2 infection developed in five of the eight inoculated pigs, regardless of the administration of the vaccine. In particular, PCV2 DNA and/or antigen were detected in most of the tissues examined in the two pigs with the lowest titer of maternal PCV2 antibodies at the beginning of the trial. PPV DNA was not detected in any of the samples examined. The five pigs with PCR and/or IHC evidence of PCV2 infection had a mean weight gain during the experiment lower than that of the inoculated PCR-negative pigs considered together and that of the control pigs. In conclusion, it would appear that passive immunity against PCV2 can play a role in preventing the development of PMWS, but is not able to prevent the establishing of clinically silent PCV2 infections. The dissemination and persistence of the virus in the tissues may depend on the level of PCV2 antibodies at the time of inoculation.  相似文献

A retrospective study for the detection of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) DNA was conducted by nested PCR method in 16 cases of swine post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) in Thailand. Histopathology showed characteristic lesions of PMWS and intracytoplasmic viral inclusion bodies in macrophages infiltrating in lymphoid tissues. PCV-2 DNA was detected from formalin-fixed and/or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from all pigs with PMWS. The amplified products were digested with Hae III.  相似文献

Taking advantage of the high sensitivity of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the cell-localizing ability of in situ hybridization (ISH), an indirect in situ PCR (ISPCR) method was developed for detecting the distribution of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded inguinal lymph nodes obtained from clinically healthy PCV2-carrier pigs and postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS)-affected pigs. Comparisons of the relative sensitivity of indirect ISPCR with other routinely used diagnostic methods for PCV2 indicated that nested PCR was the most sensitive method followed by indirect ISPCR, conventional PCR, ISH, and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. Although indirect ISPCR, ISH, and IHC staining all revealed a similar signal distribution pattern of PCV2, using indirect ISPCR allowed specific amplification and detection of previously uneasily detected PCV2 signal than by routine ISH or IHC staining, particularly in those cells within the germinal center in clinically healthy PCV2-carrier pigs. Furthermore, six different PCV2 signal expression patterns in conjunction with the correlated lymphoid lesion stages were classified to describe the tissue morphological changes and viral infection. The result indicates that indirect ISPCR is a more effective, cell-based diagnostic tool with good specificity to detect limited PCV2 infection in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue specimens and it would be a useful tool for further exploring the pathogenesis of PCV2 infection.  相似文献

DNA extraction and nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were developed for the detection of Haemophilus parasuis from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. The results for nested PCR were compared with those determined by in situ hybridization. The optimal results obtained show that use of xylene deparaffinization, digestion with proteinase K followed by nested PCR is a reliable detection method. A distinct positive signal was detected in 20 pigs naturally infected with H. parasuis by in situ hybridization. The rate of agreement between nested PCR and in situ hybridization for the detection of H. parasuis in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues was 100%. The nested PCR could be applied successfully to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues for the detection of H. parasuis with bacterial isolation.  相似文献

A double in situ hybridization method for the simultaneous detection of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and porcine circovirus (PCV) genomes in the same tissue section was applied to lung tissues from 9 pigs in which PRRSV and PCV coinfection had been previously demonstrated. Paraffin-embedded tissue sections were simultaneously hybridized with a digoxigenin-labeled antisense RNA probe for PRRSV and a fluorescein-labeled antisense RNA probe for PCV, and hybridization was detected with anti-digoxigenin alkaline phosphatase/fast red and anti-fluorescein peroxidase/diaminobenzidine, respectively. PRRSV and PCV genomes were identified in the same pulmonary cell types as reported previously in all 9 pigs. In all pigs, PCV-positive cells outnumbered PRRSV-positive cells. A small proportion of alveolar macrophages contained both PRRSV and PCV genomes.  相似文献

The identification of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) was studied in fresh intestinal tissues by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in formalin-fixed, paraffin-wax-embedded intestinal tissues by in situ hybridisation. The tissues came from pigs naturally infected with porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV). A total of 35 (32.7%) of 107 small intestinal samples from pigs naturally infected with PEDV were found to be positive using PCR. Positive signals for PCV2 were detected in 32 (29.9%) of 107 small intestinal samples from pigs naturally infected with PEDV by in situ hybridisation. The distribution of positive cells in the jejunum and ileum was multifocal or patchy. Distinct positive labelling was found throughout the lamina propria in the small intestines. The results of this study indicate that PCV2 is highly prevalent in pigs naturally infected with PEDV.  相似文献

The infection status of 15 viruses in 120 pigs aged about 6 months was investigated based on tonsil specimens collected from a slaughterhouse. Only 5 species of porcine parvoviruses and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) were detected at high frequencies; 67% for porcine parvovirus (PPV) (PPV-Kr or -NADL2 as the new abbreviation), 58% for PPV2 (CnP-PARV4), 39% for PPV3 (P-PARV4), 33% for PPV4 (PPV4), 55% for PBo-likeV (PBoV7) and 80% for PCV2. A phylogenetic analysis of PPV3 suggested that Japanese PPV3s showed a slight variation, and possibly, there were farms harboring homogeneous or heterogeneous PPV3s. Statistical analyses indicated that the detection of PCV2 was significantly coincidental with each detection of PPV, PPV2 and PPV3, and PPV and PPV4 were also coincidentally detected. The concurrent infection with PCV2 and porcine parvoviruses in the subclinically infected pigs may resemble the infection status of pigs with the clinical manifestations of porcine circovirus associated disease which occurs in 3–5 months old pigs and is thought to be primarily caused by the PCV2 infection.  相似文献

Thirty-three pigs affected by porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome, 30 from Spain and three from the USA, were investigated in order to detect porcine circovirus (PCV) in their tissues. A standard in situ hybridisation technique using a specific DNA 317-bp probe based on a well-conserved sequence of PCV (which recognises both PCV-1 and PCV-2) was applied to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. Twenty-eight of the 30 Spanish pigs and all three American pigs had PCV in at least one tissue. Viral nucleic acid was detected mainly in lymphoid organs, and especially the lymph nodes. The viral genome was also found, in order of decreasing quantity, in Peyer's patches, tonsil, lung, spleen, kidney, liver, and skin. Viral nucleic acid was located mainly within the cytoplasm of monocyte/macrophage lineage cells, including follicular dendritic cells, macrophages, histiocytes and Kupffer cells. No viral nucleic acid was found in damaged glomeruli or arteriolar walls. In frozen samples available from three Spanish pigs, the virus was identified as type 2 by using the polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. Most of the pigs from which serum was available were seropositive against porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus (PRRSV), and PRRSV antigen was detected in the lung of two of the Spanish pigs. These results suggested that PCV is present in tissues of almost all pigs affected by PDNS, and PCV has to be considered as a possible agent involved in the pathogenesis of the syndrome.  相似文献

A rapid in situ hybridization (ISH) technique for the detection of porcine circovirus (PCV) nucleic acid in cell culture and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues was developed. A fluorescein-labeled RNA probe was transcribed from a plasmid containing 530 bp of the ORF1 of a PCV isolated from a pig with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). Hybridization using standard hybridization buffer was performed at 42 C for 16 hours and was compared to hybridization using rate enhancement hybridization (REH) buffer at 67 C for 2 hours. Hybridization was detected with an alkaline phosphatase-conjugated antifluorescein antibody. In both cultured cells and tissues from pigs with PMWS, the signal intensity and number of labeled cells in sections hybridized with REH buffer were equal to those of sections hybridized with standard hybridization buffer. The total time required for ISH using the REH buffer is 7-8 hours, thus making this protocol suitable for application in routine PCV diagnosis.  相似文献

A multiplex PCR (mPCR) assay was developed and subsequently evaluated for its effectiveness as a means to simultaneously detect multiple viral infections of swine. Specific primers for each of four common DNA viruses, namely, pseudorabies virus (PRV), porcine circovirus type I (PCV1), porcine circovirus type II (PCV2), and porcine parvovirus (PPV), were used for testing procedure. The assay was shown to be highly sensitive in that as little as 10(-4) ng of each of the respective amplicons (approximately equal to 10,000 molecules) was detected when a composite of all four viruses (including both field and gene-deleted permutations of PRV) was tested as a single sample. It was also effective for detecting one or more of these same viruses in various combinations in specimens including lymph nodes, lungs, spleens, and tonsils collected from clinically ill pigs, and in specimens in spleen collected from aborted fetuses. The relative efficiency (compared to performing separate assays for each virus) and apparent sensitivity of mPCR suggest its potential application for routine molecular diagnostic purposes.  相似文献

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), an economically important pathogen of swine, is the necessary cause of post weaning multisystemic wasting disease (PMWS); PCV2 infection is associated with porcine dermatitis and nephritis syndrome (PDNS). Current immunohistochemical (IHC) methodologies identify PCV2 antigens but are not capable of differentiating replicating virus from nonreplicating virion particles in tissue sections. In this paper, a combination of IHC using commercial monoclonal antibodies specific for single stranded (ss) and double stranded (ds) DNA and PCV2 specific in situ hybridization (ISH) was used to show the specificity of the former for PCV2 DNA in tissue sections from PCV2-infected gnotobiotic pigs. Cold-ethanol-fixed tissue sections were superior to formalin-fixed tissues for detection of PCV2 DNA, presumably due to the lack of protein cross-linking in the latter. These data demonstrate that conventional IHC detects PCV2 DNA forms in experimentally infected PCV2-positive gnotobiotic porcine tissue sections that are minimally compromised by either formalin fixation or the hybridization conditions needed for ISH.  相似文献

To obtain information about the porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection status of pigs in Cuba and the probable association of PCV2 with other porcine viruses, tissue samples collected from ill pigs were evaluated using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR analysis showed that 67.7% of the samples (23/34) from seven swine herds of six different geographic regions were detected to be positive for PCV2. Ten of the 23 PCV2 positive samples (43.5%) shown a concurrent infection with porcine parvovirus (PPV) and 17 of 23 PCV2 positive samples (73.9%) exhibited a concomitant infection with classical swine fever virus (CSFV). This study is the first report of PCV2 infecting pigs with different clinical conditions in Cuban swine herds and provides evidence of PCV2 co-infection with PPV and CSFV in the field.  相似文献
