This paper describes the signs, clinical pathology, and postmortem findings in 14 young African grey parrots (Psittacus erithacus erithacus) that were naturally infected with psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) virus (psittacine circovirus). All but two of the parrots had severe leukopenia at clinical presentation. Two other parrots also had severe anemia. All birds died within 3 wk after presentation. Postmortem examination documented liver necrosis in 11 of 14 birds and secondary bacterial or fungal infections in 9 of 14 birds. Tests for Chlamydia psittaci, polyomavirus, and Salmonella sp. were negative. PBFD viral infection could be demonstrated in all birds by polymerase chain reaction. Supporting evidence of PBFD viral infection was gathered by histologic examination of the bursa of Fabricius, electron microscopy, and DNA in situ hybridization. Electron microscopic examination of both the bursa of Fabricius and liver revealed virus particles resembling circovirus. DNA in situ hybridization of six liver tissue samples confirmed the presence of PBFD virus and excluded the presence of avian polyomavirus. Our findings suggest that a specific presentation of peracute PBFD viral infection, characterized by severe leukopenia, anemia, or pancytopenia and liver necrosis in the absence of feather and beak abnormalities, may occur in young African grey parrots.  相似文献

Degenerate primers were designed based on known sequence information for the circoviruses psittacine beak and feather disease virus and porcine circovirus and applied by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to known virus-infected bursa of Fabricius (BF) from a pigeon. A 548-bp DNA fragment was amplified and shown to be specific to a novel circovirus, named pigeon circovirus (PiCV), and was used to produce sensitive and specific probes for detection of circovirus DNA by in situ hybridization (ISH). Using ISH on BF from 107 pigeons submitted for necropsy, infection was detected in 89%, compared with a histologic detection rate of 66%. Using the ISH technique, infected cells were also found in liver, kidney, trachea, lung, brain, crop, intestine, spleen, bone marrow, and heart of some birds. Large quantities of DNA were present in some of these tissues, and in the absence of BF, liver in particular is identified as a potentially useful organ to examine for presence of PiCV. This high prevalence of infection in diseased birds is noteworthy, emphasizing the need for studies to determine the precise role of this virus as a disease-producing agent.  相似文献

In this study, chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV) DNA was detected from 12-day-old broilers. Clinical history showed that the clinical features were diarrhea, blue wing disease, depression, and death. Necropsy findings were pale liver, severe atrophy of bursa of Fabricius and thymus, and discoloration of the bone marrow as well as hemorrhages subcutaneously and a few in skeletal muscles. The majority of the necropsied broilers had developed gangrenous dermatitis. Histopathology showed hypoplasia of bone marrow and depletion of lymphocytes in spleen, bursa, and subcapsular thymic cortex. Karyorrhexis of lymphocytes was scattered in the thymic cortex and most pronounced in the bursal follicles. Eosinophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies were mainly located in lymphocytes of thymus, with a few in hemopoietic cells of bone marrow. CIAV DNA was detected by polymerase chain reaction from bursa, thymus, and bone marrow. A virus strain was detected and genetically characterized in 639 base pairs of VP1 gene. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the Greek isolate was clustered together with isolates from Alabama, China, Slovenia, and Bangladesh.  相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factors (TRAFs) were identified as signal transducers for the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily. In this study, we cloned and characterized two genes that encode chicken TNFR-II and TRAF5. The initial cDNA fragments were obtained by suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH) of chicken spleen cells with or without lipopolysaccharide stimulation (Salmonella typhimurium SL1181 (RE-mutant)). The results showed that chicken TNFR-II is 1518 bp in length with an open reading frame (ORF) of 1386 bp having 31% homology with human TNFR-II. Expression analysis of chicken TNFR-II revealed that it is highly expressed in the spleen and bursa of Fabricius. The chicken cell lines IN24, MSB1 and 1104B express TNFR-II abundantly. The time course analysis of expression in spleen, bursa of Fabricius and IN24 cell line showed that TNFR-II is maximally expressed at 6 h after stimulation in bursa of Fabricius and after 8 h stimulation in the IN24 cell line. With regard to TRAF5, the complete sequence was 1936 bp in length with an ORF of 1671 bp that showed 71.3% homology with human TRAF5. Expression analysis showed that, among the tissues examined, TRAF5 was strongly expressed in spleen and bursa of Fabricius, while among the cell lines examined, it was maximally expressed in IN24. Thus, both genes were expressed in the same tissues and cell line among examined materials. These results suggest that chicken TNFR-II may interact with TRAF5 adaptor protein to complete its signal transduction pathway.  相似文献

The vertical transmission of fowl adenoviruses (FAdVs) was studied by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and virus isolation. Liver, spleen, kidney, and bursa of Fabricius were collected from 60 chicks 1 d old representing progenies hatched to 6 broiler breeder flocks in 6 geographically different premises in Ontario, Canada. The presence of FAdV DNA sequences was detected by PCR with the use of primers specific for the conserved pVI gene of FAdV-9 in 58 (24%) of the 240 samples tested. All samples from 1 flock were negative for FAdV sequences, and only a few samples were positive in 3 flocks, whereas 32% and 72% of the samples from the other 2 flocks were positive. Testing of 1 sample with primers designed to amplify the L1 region of the hexon protein gene and amino acid sequence analysis of the PCR product indicated that the sequences were similar to serotype-8a FAdV sequences. No fowl adenoviruses were isolated in chicken hepatoma cells from any of the 30 samples inoculated. These findings imply that vertical transmission and establishment of latent infection with FAdVs can occur in chickens.  相似文献

Direct detection of chicken anemia virus (CAV) DNA in tissues and sera was investigated by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. Using a pair of primers constructed to amplify the coding sequence of the CAV DNA genome, the PCR assay was shown to be extremely sensitive, being able to detect 1 fg of CAV replicative form DNA. The oligonucleotide primers used for the PCR yielded 583 base-pair (bp) amplified product, which was sized by ethidium bromide-agarose gel electrophoresis. Tissue samples from seven cases of suspected chicken infectious anemia were obtained for CAV isolation. DNA extracted from the homogenized suspension of pooled tissues of each case was analyzed by the PCR assay. Results showed that five of the seven cases were positive for CAV DNA by PCR, whereas CAV was isolated from four cases only. The PCR assay also detected CAV DNA in two of 37 serum samples from disease-free chickens. The specificity of PCR was confirmed by chemiluminescence dot-blot analysis of the amplified products.  相似文献

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and dot blot hybridisation (DBH) tests for detecting pigeon circovirus (PiCV) DNA were developed and evaluated using tissue samples obtained from diseased and clinically normal pigeons, which originated in Belgium and Northern Ireland. When PCR product was visually detected, the limit of detection of the PCR test was 31 fg, while that of the DBH was 1.6p g. For evaluation purposes, the results of the PCR and DBH tests, performed with DNAs extracted from samples of bursa of Fabricius (BF), were compared with those of in situ hybridisation (ISH) and histology. In 32 samples tested by all four tests, 27 (84%) were positive by PCR, 24 (75%) were positive by ISH, 20 (63%) were positive by DBH, and 13 (41%) were positive by histology. Additional PCR testing showed that in some disease-affected birds, PiCV DNA could be detected in a range of tissues including thymus, spleen, liver, kidney and brain. The PCR detection of PiCV DNA in BF samples from clinically normal birds indicated that PCR can detect infections in the absence of disease, a finding that mitigates against its use as a disease diagnostic. In addition, nucleotide sequence determinations indicated that PCR test performance was adversely affected by the sequence diversity exhibited by selected PiCVs. The application of the DBH test to dilutions of test samples indicated that the BF from some diseased pigeons contained very large amounts of virus DNA, as much as 10(13)genome copies/g tissue, and suggested that this test may be a convenient method of providing a semi-quantitative estimate of virus load.  相似文献

本研究旨在通过荧光定量PCR方法研究禽白血病J亚群病毒(ALV-J)在家禽体内各个器官的分布。根据ALV-J NX0101毒株基因5 258—5 510bp的碱基序列,设计了1对特异性引物,进行RT-PCR反应,扩增产物为253bp,将该产物连接T载体作为Real-time PCR反应的标准品,利用SYBR Green I染料进行Real-time PCR反应,建立了标准曲线,并进行反应灵敏性,特异性和重复性试验。然后用已建立的方法对人工感染ALV-J的SPF鸡心脏、肝脏、脾脏、肺脏、肾脏、胸腺、法氏囊、腺胃进行3次重复检测,将Ct值带入标准曲线公式得出各个组织的病毒拷贝数。试验结果表明:标准曲线线性关系R值均为0.991 4,检测极限约为81拷贝质粒DNA,比RT-PCR灵敏100倍以上;特异性分析表明只有ALV-J能检测到特异性的熔解度峰值;批内和批间重复性试验的变异系数均小于5%。通过比较数值以得出胸腺ALV-J基因含量是最高的,肺脏、脾脏、法氏囊含量也比较高,心脏拷贝数最低。自然感染发病鸡各器官ALV-J基因均高于人工感染ALV-J的基因含量。本研究所建立的ALV-J基因实时荧光定量RT-PCR方法灵敏度高、特异性强、检测周期短,初步探讨了禽白血病J亚群病毒在畜禽体内各个器官的病毒分布。这为以后禽白血病的诊断以及治疗提供了重要的技术支持。  相似文献

CD30 ligand (CD30L) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) are members of the TNF-superfamily that have many important biological activities in cell proliferation and apoptotic death. In this study, both genes in the chicken were cloned and their expression was analyzed. Complementary DNA fragments were obtained from a suppressive subtractive hybridization library with or without lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulation. Chicken CD30L consists of 1,152 base pairs (bp) with an open reading frame (ORF) of 720 bp having 36.4% identity with human CD30L, whereas chicken TRAIL is 1,134 bp long with an ORF of 912 bp having 54.4% identity with human TRAIL. Chicken CD30L was expressed at high levels in the spleen, bursa of Fabricius and in the chicken monocytic leukemia cell line, IN24. Stimulation with LPS in the spleen, bursa of Fabricius and the IN24 cell line did not affect CD30L expression. The gene expression of chicken TRAIL was essentially to the same level in all tissues examined. The time course of expression was not significantly altered by LPS-stimulation in the spleen, thymus and bursa of Fabricius, but reached a maximal level 8 hr after stimulation in the IN24 cell line. The high level expression of both genes in lymphoid organs and IN24 cell line indicates that chicken CD30L and TRAIL may also play an important role in apoptotic signal transduction and the regulation of cell proliferation in the immune system.  相似文献

试验旨在探讨不同来源的传染性支气管炎病毒(Infectious bronchitis virus,IBV)诱导SPF鸡发病的免疫机制。选用140只1日龄SPF白来航鸡,随机分为4组,3组攻毒组通过滴鼻点眼途径分别接种鸡源IBV强毒株、鸡源IBV弱毒株和野鸡源IBV毒株3个毒株,对照组以同种方式接种等量灭菌的磷酸盐缓冲液。在感染后12 h、36 h、72 h、7 d和14 d,每组随机选取5只进行剖检,并分别采集法氏囊、肾脏和气管组织,剩余鸡用于观察临床症状、发病及死亡情况。应用实时荧光定量PCR检测攻毒后不同时间点采集的各组织中IBV的病毒载量、Toll样受体(Toll-like receptors,TLRs)及部分细胞因子(白细胞介素(interleukin,IL)和干扰素(interferon,IFN))表达量的变化。结果显示,感染不同来源IBV毒株之后仅鸡源IBV强毒株感染组SPF鸡出现抑郁、翅膀下垂、甩头等典型的临床症状,且在感染后5~10 d共有7只死亡,死亡率为20%。病理剖检发现,感染鸡源IBV强毒株的鸡肾脏肿大、尿酸盐沉积和有花斑样病变,而感染野鸡源IBV毒株、鸡源IBV弱毒株和对照组的鸡无明显的眼观病变。实时荧光定量PCR结果显示,在鸡源IBV强毒株组的法氏囊、肾脏和气管3个组织中均检测到病毒。对照组和野鸡源IBV毒株组中均未检测到病毒,鸡源IBV弱毒株组只在部分组织中检测到病毒。在感染后72 h,鸡源IBV强毒株组与其他各组相比,TLR1、TLR2、TLR3、TLR5、TLR7和TLR15基因在法氏囊中的表达量均显著升高(P<0.05),IL-6和IFN-β参与更强烈的抗病毒免疫反应;在感染后7 d,鸡源IBV弱毒株组与其他各组相比,肾脏中TLR2、TLR3、TLR15、TLR21、IL-6和IL-18基因表达量均显著升高(P<0.05)。野鸡源IBV感染后36 h法氏囊组织中IFN-γ基因表达量显著上调(P<0.05)。综上所述,3个IBV毒株中仅鸡源IBV强毒感染引起SPF鸡典型临床发病症状与可视组织病变,且可提高SPF鸡组织中免疫相关因子的基因表达量。本研究结果揭示,不同来源的IBV对SPF鸡的不同致病性与其感染诱导的免疫反应不同有关。  相似文献
