Colostrum-deprived, neonatal, 2 days old pigs were inoculated with the attenuated HT-/SK or the virulent 90HS strain of porcine parvovirus (PPV) by the oral or subcutaneous route and sacrificed 2, 4 or 6 days after inoculation. Then, comparison was made on viral multiplication in pigs between the two strains. Pigs inoculated with the HT-/SK strain showed no detectable viremia or HI antibody responses against PPV within 6 days after inoculation. Only in pigs inoculated by the subcutaneous route, a small amount of virus was recovered from the spleen, liver, or mesenteric lymph nodes. These viruses were distinguished from the parental virulent 90HS strain, as examined for rct maker in vitro. When pigs were inoculated with the virulent 90HS strain, viremia appeared in all of them 1 day after inoculation and continued for up to the sacrificed day. Moreover, a considerable amount of virus was also detected from all tissues, including brain, lung, liver, spleen, pancreas, small intestine, and lymph node tissues, in all pigs tested. HI antibodies were first detected 6 days after inoculation.  相似文献

Two litters of suckling pigs seronegative for transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus were orally inoculated with live attenuated (P115) or virulent (M5C) strains of TGE virus. A third seronegative litter (controls) was given cell culture fluids from uninfected cells. Lymphocytes were collected from blood, spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes, and Peyer patches of euthanatized pigs at 0 day and approximately weekly until 26 days after exposure and at approximately 45 days after exposure. Sera were tested for virus-neutralizing antibody titers by use of plaque reduction. Lymphocytes were tested in a lymphocyte proliferation assay for uptake of [3H]thymidine after incubation with the homologous or the heterologous strain of inactivated TGE virus or uninfected cell culture fluids. Only pigs inoculated with virulent TGE virus developed clinical signs of TGE and shed virus. However, all pigs inoculated with TGE virus seroconverted at 6 days after exposure. Responses of lymphocytes from all sources from TGE virus-inoculated pigs peaked between 6 and 14 days after exposure. Pigs inoculated with virulent TGE virus had higher lymphocyte proliferative responses and neutralizing antibody titers than did pigs inoculated with attenuated TGE virus. Cessation of virus shedding coincided with the peak of lymphocyte proliferative responses. The highest responses were with intestinal lymphocytes (mesenteric lymph nodes and Peyer patches) from pigs inoculated with virulent TGE virus. The responses of intestinal lymphocytes from pigs inoculated with attenuated virus were not significantly different from those of pigs inoculated with cell culture fluid. Lymphocytes collected from all sources, except blood from M5C-inoculated pigs, had significantly (P less than 0.05) higher responses to the homologous than to the heterologous TGE virus stimulation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Hysterectomy-produced colostrum-deprived 5- and 27-day-old pigs were inoculated intramuscularly (IM) or intranasally (IN) with the temperature-sensitive and thymidine kinase-deficient ZHtsTK- strain of Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV), and the nasal swabs and organs of the pigs were periodically collected for virus isolation. No abnormal clinical signs were observed in these pigs, except for a mild febrile response. Viral shedding in the nasal swabs with low titers was detected in the pigs inoculated IN between postinoculation day (PID) 1 and 5, but not in those of the pigs inoculated IM. No contact infection, however, occurred in the cohabiting pigs. Viruses with low titers were isolated only from the muscles and lymph nodes at the site of inoculation in the pigs inoculated IM on PID 2 and 4, but not from any organs of the pigs inoculated IN. To investigate the ability of the ZHtsTK- strain to establish a latent infection in pigs, the pigs inoculated IM or IN with the ZHtsTK- strain were treated with prednisolone. No virus was detected in the trigeminal ganglia or the nasal swabs collected after prednisolone treatment by the cocultivation method. The immunological evaluation demonstrated that immunization of pigs with this strain was effective in preventing clinical signs caused by ADV infection. The duration of virus shedding was markedly shortened in immunized pigs, particularly in those immunized twice and the total quantity of virus recovered from immunized pigs was reduced in comparison with unimmunized pigs.  相似文献

为研究不同毒力的PRRSV对仔猪肺脏和外周免疫器官损伤的差异,本实验分别采用PRRSV变异株(HuN4株)和PRRSV经典株(CH-1a株)感染35日龄健康的断奶仔猪,并在感染后0 d、3 d、7 d、10 d和14 d各迫杀3头,检测肺、颌下淋巴结、肠系淋巴结、腹股沟淋巴结、扁桃体和脾脏的病毒载量及病理变化情况,同时检测血清中抗PRRSV的抗体水平。结果表明:感染后3 d肺脏及各免疫器官可检测到病毒,HuN4感染组病毒载量比CH-1a感染组病毒载量高1 000倍;HuN4感染组病毒载量峰值出现在感染后10 d,而CH-1a感染组维持着较低水平的病毒载量。组织病理学检测显示HuN4感染组淋巴结内淋巴细胞显著减少,呈空泡状;CH-1a感染组淋巴结内淋巴细胞轻度减少,呈星隙状。本实验表明HuN4株比CH-1a株对肺和外周免疫器官造成更严重的损伤。  相似文献

Inoculation experiments were performed with two German strains of swine fever virus. In Experiment I, ten pigs of Danish Landrace were inoculated with a strongly virulent strain, while in Experiment II ten pigs were inoculated with weakly virulent virus.The animals were killed at varying times after inoculation and organs taken out for examination by means of fluorescent antibodies (FA), by the complement fixation test (CFT), and by the agar gel diffusion test (AGT). Cryostat sections of tonsils, spleen and lymph nodes were examined by FA staining. Tissue suspensions from the same organs were inoculated into primary pig kidney tissue cultures, which were also stained with FA. Antigen produced from spleen tissue was used in the CFT and pieces of pancreas tissue in the AGT.The strongly virulent virus could be demonstrated easily by FA in all the inoculated pigs, both by direct staining of cryostat sections and by staining of inoculated tissue cultures. The CFT and AGT were positive when the tested organs originated from animals killed at a more advanced stage of the disease.While the weakly virulent virus could be demonstrated by FA staining of tissues from eight of the ten pigs in Experiment II, virus was found in none of these animals by the FA tissue culture method. The CFT was positive in one case and the AGT in three cases.In both experiments it was found that FA staining of cryostat sections of tonsils was a particularly suitable method for the demonstration of virus.The results are discussed and compared with recent German and American studies.  相似文献

Distribution and persistence of four different strains of transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus in newborn piglets were compared.The piglets inoculated with high-passaged TO-163 strain did not show any clinical signs of TGE on any days postinoculation (DPI), but the piglets inoculated with one of the other three strains, SH-14, SH-164 or TO-16, had soft feces or diarrhea. In the latter cases, the virus was isolated mainly from respiratory organs, lymph nodes, and digestive tract on any DPI, but was rarely detected in the digestive tract of piglets inoculated with the TO-163 strain. The frequency of virus recovery from the tissues was the highest till 4 DPI in all of the piglets inoculated with one of the four virus strains, and it was markedly reduced thereafter in the piglets inoculated with high-passaged strains.The TO-163 strain was subjected to serial passage in newborn piglets for seven passages. There was no evidence of regained pathogenicity with advance in passage, and detection of virus was restricted to lymph nodes and lung of these piglets.In gnotobiotic piglets inoculated with the TO-163 strain, frequent virus recovery and high titers of virus from the tissues were obtained on up to the 4th DPI. The viruses in high titer were found in the digestive tract of some of the piglets; however, none of them showed any clinical signs of TGE.  相似文献

猪繁殖-呼吸综合征活疫苗对仔猪的安全性试验   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
本试验用猪繁殖-呼吸综合征（PRRS）活疫苗和国内分离的PRRS强毒CH—1a株接种PRRS阴性的断奶仔猪，分别在接种后的3、7、14d各剖杀1头，取各脏器分别做冰冻切片和病理切片观察。用间接免疫荧光法检测各脏器PRRS病毒的分布。结果表明，PRRS活疫苗在免疫初期，抗原主要分布在脾脏、淋巴结，其次是肾脏和肺脏，少见于肝脏和心脏，第14d时在脾、淋巴结和肾脏有一定量的抗原，而肺脏相比则数量很少，肝脏和心脏未检到PRRS病毒抗原的存在，表明接种PRRS活疫苗随着时间的推移抗原分布呈下降趋势。而强毒抗原分布以脾脏最多，依次是肾脏、肺脏、淋巴结、肝脏、心脏，接种后第14d仍能在各脏器检到PRRS病毒抗原。病理组织学检测结果表明，活疫苗产生以下颌淋巴结、脾脏增生为特征的免疫应答，组织损伤轻微，对肺的病变较少，且仔猪生长良好。强毒则引起以大面积的肺泡隔增宽为特点的间质性肺炎和微循环障碍的病理变化，淋巴小结、脾脏滤泡发生崩解与周围界限不清，个别淋巴细胞核浓缩，组织损伤严重。本试验表明弱毒疫苗对仔猪是安全的。  相似文献

Cesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived pigs (n = 23) were inoculated intranasally and subcutaneously with a low cell culture passage of type 2 porcine circovirus. In 11 pigs, a persistent fever that lasted 7-17 days began 12-15 days after inoculation with virus. Additional signs of disease in those 11 pigs included depression (11 of 11 pigs), palpable enlargement of inguinal, prefemoral, and popliteal lymph nodes (11 of 11), icterus (6 of 11), and hyperpnea (2 of 11). The remaining 12 pigs had fever that occurred intermittently for 2-4 days between days 12 and 20 postinoculation. Overt signs of disease in those pigs were limited to palpable enlargement of inguinal and popliteal lymph nodes (9 of 12 pigs). When compared with control pigs of similar age, the average daily rate of weight gain for all pigs inoculated with virus was less over a 2-week period that began 2 weeks post inoculation. At postmortem examination, lymph node enlargement was seen in 14 of 14 pigs euthanized between days 20 and 28 postinoculation. Lymph node enlargement was especially prominent in pigs that developed a persistent fever. Microscopic lesions noted in pigs that developed a persistent fever included cellular depletion in lymphoid tissues; hepatic cell necrosis; and lymphogranulomatous inflammation of lymph nodes, Peyer's patches of the intestine, liver, kidney, and heart. Virus was isolated with varying frequency from nasal, rectal, or tonsil swab specimens, buffy coat, serum, urine, and lung lavage fluid obtained antemortem or postmortem. Virus was isolated from or viral DNA was detected in a variety of tissues obtained postmortem up to 125 days postinoculation. Antibody against type 2 porcine circovirus usually was detected in serum between 15 and 20 days postinoculation; however, antibody against virus was not detected in serum from 4 pigs euthanized 20-24 days postinoculation. Direct contact with pigs inoculated with virus 42 days previously resulted in transmission of virus to 3 of 3 control pigs.  相似文献

Clinical signs of transmissible gastroenteritis were not observed in newborn pigs orally inoculated with the high-passaged vaccinal transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TO-163 strain). Vaccinal viral multiplication in digestive tract of newborn pigs fed colostrum before inoculation and kept at 21 to 22 C was diminished, but was not diminished in those fed colostrum and kept at 10 to 11 C. Other groups of newborn pigs inoculated with the attenuated vaccinal virus and kept at 18 to 22 C or at 31 to 34 C were challenge exposed with virulent intestinal virus on the 1st, 2nd, . . ., or 6th postinoculation (PI) days. In the groups kept at 18 to 22 C, 2 of 7 inoculated pigs challenge exposed with virulent virus on the 3rd PI day, 4 of 7 pigs exposed on the 4th PI day, and all of the pigs exposed on and after the 5th PI day survived the exposure. In the groups kept at 18 to 22 C, the attenuated vaccinal virus was distributed mainly in the respiratory organs and lymphatic tissues. On the contrary, in the groups kept at 31 to 34 C, all of the pigs died in 2 to 5 days after challenge exposure, and the attenuated vaccinal virus was scarcely detected in any of the pigs.  相似文献

Eight pigs were inoculated subcutaneously with a highly virulent hog cholera virus (HCV) strain ALD. The infected pigs developed severe illness and became moribund on postinoculation day (PID) 7 or PID 10. Histologic lesions were characterized by severe generalized vasculitis, necrosis of lymphocytes, and encephalitis. HCV antigen was detected in crypt tonsilar epithelial cells, macrophages, and reticular endothelial cells of lymphoid tissues. Antigen localization corresponded well with histologic lesions. Five pigs were inoculated with less virulent HCV Kanagawa/74 strain and were euthanatized on PID 30. All five infected pigs recovered from the illness but became stunted. They also had a slight follicular depletion of lymphocytes, histiocytic hyperplasia, and hematopoiesis in the spleen. Less virulent HCV antigen was observed in the tonsils, kidneys, pancreas, adrenal glands, and lungs. Although antigen localization was less associated with histologic lesions, immunoreactivity was stronger than that in the pigs infected with the ALD strain of HCV. An almost complete loss of B lymphocytes was recognized in pigs infected with the ALD strain and was correlated with follicular necrosis in lymphoid tissues. Loss of B lymphocytes was not prominent in the pigs infected with Kanagawa/74 strain. The number of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes was significantly higher than that in the noninfected control pigs.  相似文献

The capacity of a TK-negative (TK-) and gI/gE-negative (gI/gE-) pseudorabies virus (PRV) mutant to protect pigs against Aujeszky's disease carried out by experimental infection with a virulent PRV strain, was tested. There were three groups, each of four susceptible pigs which were inoculated twice by two different schedules. Group 1 received the modified virus by the intradermal (first inoculation)-intramuscular (second inoculation) routes; group 2 was treated by the intranasal (first inoculation)-intramuscular (second inoculation) routes. The third group was left untreated as the control. All of the pigs were challenged intranasally with a virulent PRV strain and they were subsequently injected with dexamethasone. Two pigs in each group were necropsied on days 5 and 15 after dexamethasone inoculation. The challenge exposure resulted in mild clinical signs, increase in growth and a shorter period of virus shedding in vaccinated pigs, whereas the control group showed severe signs of Aujeszky's disease. No difference in the titre of the virulent virus which was excreted by pigs of all three groups, was observed and all animals seroconverted. Both the mutant strain and the wild-type virus established a latent infection although only the latter was reactivated and shed. Slight lesions were observed in target tissues of the vaccinated animals and no significant differences were detected between the two inoculation schedules.  相似文献

In this study, macroscopic and histopathological lesions produced by a virulent South American isolate ('Quillota') of hog cholera virus were studied. The virus was inoculated in doses of 10(5)TCID50 in each of 35 pigs of 20 kg live weight. The animals were slaughtered from 4 to 18 days post-inoculation. The presence of virus antigens in lymphatic tissue was confirmed by both direct immunofluorescence and Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase techniques in formalin-embedded tissue samples. Histological sections were stained with haematoxylin-eosin and Mallory's phosphotungstic acid haematoxylin methods. The 'Quillota' isolate used in this study caused a disease characterized by vascular lesions (splenic infarcts, haemorrhages in the lymph nodes and the urinary system and disseminated microthrombosis), and necrosis of lymphocytes, particularly in the B-areas of the lymphoid organs, lesions that are characteristic of the acute form of the disease. Other lesions observed were a non-purulent meningoencephalitis, the necrosis of the epithelial cells of tonsils, the presence of fibrin nets in the red pulp and a marked thickening of the alveolar septa.  相似文献

In order to determine if canine coronavirus (CCV) could be transmitted to pigs, two dogs were inoculated orally with virulent CCV. After 24 h, the dogs were moved to an isolation room that contained three three-day-old pigs. A wire mesh fence, allowing close contact between the animals, separated the dogs from the pigs. The dogs and pigs were observed for 14 days for clinical signs of disease. Samples of blood were obtained from dogs and pigs immediately before the dogs were inoculated with virus and 14 and 28 days later. The dogs developed mild clinical signs of an infection, but the pigs remained normal throughout the observation period. The dogs shed CCV for eight days after exposure. All three pigs developed neutralizing antibodies against CCV and transmissible gastroenteritis virus by 14 days after they were exposed to the dogs.  相似文献

Eleven-day-old conventionally reared piglets were inoculated orally with two different doses of the cell-culture adapted strain CV-777 of the porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV) or the virulent isolate of the same strain and challenged with the same virulent PEDV 3 weeks later. Pigs inoculated with the two doses of the attenuated virus did not show any typical sign of the disease, and virus shedding was not frequent. In contrast, 31% of pigs exposed to the virulent PEDV developed diarrhoea and virus shedding was demonstrated in 100%. At different postinoculation day (PID) and postchallenge day (PCD) virus-specific antibody-secreting cells (ASC) in gut associated lymphoid tissues (duodenum and ileum lamina propria and mesenteric lymph nodes) and systemic locations (blood and spleen) were assessed by enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT). Only a small response was detected in the groups inoculated with attenuated PEDV, whereas in the group previously exposed to the virulent virus on PID 21 a large number of IgG and IgA ASC was detected. Isotype-specific antibody responses in serum were investigated by ELISA. IgG responses were detected in all groups, although the highest response corresponded to the group inoculated with virulent virus and only this group showed an IgA response. The pigs exposed to virulent PEDV were completely protected against the challenge with a higher dose of the same virulent virus on PID 21 and none of them shed the virus. The pigs inoculated with the attenuated strain were partially protected against the challenge, and 25% of the low dose- and 50% of the high dose-exposed pigs did not shed virus after challenge. All the pigs from a control group, not previously exposed to the virus, excreted the virus in faeces. A strong positive correlation was established between protection and the ASC responses detected in gut associated lymphoid tissues and blood at the challenge day and also between protection and serum isotype-specific antibody titers on that day. In addition, the IgA and IgG ASC responses detected in the blood on PID 21 also correlated with the responses found in the gut associated lymphoid tissues. The ASC and serum antibody responses after the challenge corresponded to a secondary immune response in the groups inoculated with attenuated virus, whereas a primary response was evident in the control group. No increase was seen in any of the parameters studied in the pigs inoculated with virulent PEDV.  相似文献

We examined primary and memory isotype-specific antibody responses directed against pseudorabies virus in serum and mucosal fluids of pigs with and without passively acquired maternal antibody, and we studied the relationship between these responses and protection against virus challenge. Pigs were inoculated intranasally with the virulent NIA-3 strain or the avirulent Bartha strain, or they were inoculated IM with an inactivated vaccine containing the Phylaxia strain. Ten weeks later, all pigs were challenge-exposed intranasally with strain NIA-3. Only pigs that were without passively acquired antibody at the time they were inoculated with virulent virus appeared to have complete protective immunity against challenge exposure, as evidenced by lack of clinical signs of pseudorabies and lack of virus excretion. In contrast, pigs inoculated with strain Bartha or with the inactivated vaccine developed fever, had a period of growth arrest, and excreted virus after challenge exposure. In pigs without passively acquired antibody, intranasal inoculation with strains NIA-3 or Bartha was followed by primary IgM and IgA responses in serum and in oropharyngeal fluid as well as primary IgG1 and IgG2 responses in serum. Intramuscular inoculation with the inactivated vaccine induced primary serum IgM, IgG1, and IgG2 responses, but no mucosal responses. Challenge exposure of pigs that had been inoculated with the Bartha strain or the inactivated vaccine was followed by clear memory responses in serum and in oropharyngeal fluid. In contrast, challenge exposure of pigs that had been inoculated by the virulent NIA-3 strain was not followed by memory responses.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

It has recently been shown that the antibody response to glycoprotein I (gI) of Aujeszky's disease virus can be used to distinguish infected from vaccinated pigs. To examine whether pigs exposed to low doses of a mildly virulent strain of Aujeszky's disease virus produce antibody to gI four groups of four pigs were inoculated intranasally with 10, 10(2), 10(3) or 10(4) plaque forming units (PFU) of the Sterksel strain. Two unvaccinated pigs and two pigs vaccinated intranasally with Bartha's K strain, a gI-negative vaccine, were placed in contact with each group. The pigs given 10 PFU and the in-contact pigs in this group did not become infected. The inoculated and the unvaccinated in-contact pigs in the other groups developed mild signs of illness and produced antibody to gI. Four of six vaccinated in-contact pigs that became infected showed neither clinical signs nor virus shedding and still produced antibody to gI. The other two vaccinated pigs appeared to be resistant to contact-challenge. The antibody response to gI persisted for at least seven months. These results support the idea that Aujeszky's disease virus may be eradicated by a programme based on vaccination with gI-negative vaccines, in conjunction with the detection and subsequent removal of gI-antibody positive, infected, pigs.  相似文献

Twelve sows were inoculated with a low-virulent field strain of swine fever (SF) virus at 40, 65 and 90 days of pregnancy. Transplacental infection occurred in eight sows and these farrowed 88 piglets.Prenatal mortality was highest in litters from sows infected at 40 days after service, and postnatal death was most frequent in litters from sows infected at 65 days. Three sows gave birth to completely infected litters, whereas the five others farrowed litters in which uninfected piglets were found. The later the sows were infected during pregnancy, the more uninfected piglets were born. Twelve piglets recovered from the infection and the percentage of recoveries increased with the stage of pregnancy at which inoculation took place. Twenty-three piglets developed a persistent infection. The earlier infection occurred during pregnancy, the more persistent infections were produced. The persistently infected pigs developed a runting syndrome from about one week after weaning. The clinical signs were more severe in pigs from sows infected at 65 days of pregnancy than in pigs from sows infected at 40 days. A persistent viraemia was present in these pigs with titres ranging between 105.7 and 107.0 plaque forming units/ml of plasma. At autopsy the most pronounced lesions were an atrophy of the thymus, and swollen and pale lymph nodes. Virus antigen was present in lymphoidal, reticulo-endothelial and epithelial tissues.One persistently infected pig survived superinfection with a virulent strain of SF virus for 45 days.  相似文献

In this study, macroscopic and histopathological lesions produced by a virulent South American isolate (‘Quillota’) of hog cholera virus were studied. The virus was inoculated in doses of 105 TCID50 in each of 35 pigs of 20 kg live weight. The animals were slaughtered from 4 to 18 days post‐inoculation. The presence of virus antigens in lymphatic tissue was confirmed by both direct immunofluorescence and Avidin‐Biotin‐Peroxidase techniques in formalin‐embedded tissue samples. Histological sections were stained with haematoxylin‐eosin and Mallory's phosphotungstic acid haematoxylin methods. The ‘Quillota’ isolate used in this study caused a disease characterized by vascular lesions (splenic infarcts, haemorrhages in the lymph nodes and the urinary system and disseminated microthrombosis), and necrosis of lymphocytes, particularly in the B‐areas of the lymphoid organs, lesions that are characteristic of the acute form of the disease. Other lesions observed were a non‐purulent meningoencephalitis, the necrosis of the epithelial cells of tonsils, the presence of fibrin nets in the red pulp and a marked thickening of the alveolar septa.  相似文献
