A study was carried out to determine whether bovid herpesvirus-2 (BHV-2) is able to induce a recurrent infection in experimentally infected calves. Twelve calves infected with the virus were treated with dexamethasone (DMS) beginning 69 days after the infection, ie, several weeks after the animals had recovered from the disease and were negative for BHV-2. The stress induced by DMS treatment failed to reactivate the clinical condition or to induce shedding of BHV-2. However, treatment with DMS reactivated a latent infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus infection in all calves previously inoculated with BHV-2, and also in 2 noninoculated controls. The reactivation of IBR virus occurred without any clinical evidence of the disease, but the virus was isolated from nasal and pharyngeal swabbings and from the organs. A proliferative ganglionitis of the trigeminal ganglion was also observed. Because of the interference by IBR virus, this study did not resolve the question as to whether BHV-2 can induce a recurrent infection.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to verify whether a mixed infection in calves with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and other bovine viruses, such as bovid herpesvirus-4 (BHV-4), parainfluenza-3 (PI-3) and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus, would influence the pathogenesis of the BVDV infection sufficiently to result in the typical form of mucosal disease being produced.

Accordingly, two experiments were undertaken. In one experiment calves were first infected with BVDV and subsequently with BHV-4 and IBR virus, respectively. The second experiment consisted in a simultaneous infection of calves with BVDV and PI-3 virus or BVDV and IBR virus.

From the first experiment it seems that BVDV infection can be reactivated in calves by BHV-4 and IBR virus. Evidence of this is that BVDV, at least the cytopathic (CP) strain, was recovered from calves following superinfection. Moreover, following such superinfection the calves showed signs which could most likely be ascribed to the pathogenetic activity of BVDV. Superinfection, especially by IBR virus, created a more severe clinical response in calves that were initially infected with CP BVDV, than in those previously given the non-cytopathic (NCP) biotype of the virus. Simultaneous infection with PI-3 virus did not seem to modify to any significant extent the pathogenesis of the experimentally induced BVDV infection whereas a severe clinical response was observed in calves when simultaneous infection was made with BVDV and IBR virus.  相似文献

Calves were inoculated subcutaneously with Herpes simplex virus (HSV), types 1 and 2, previously inactivated with Triton X100. Thirty-nine days later the calves were challenged either by intradermal or intravenous injection of Bovid herpesvirus 2 (BHV2).The clinical reponse of HSV preimmunized calves to BHV2 infection was milder than that in the challenge control calves, and the titer of BHV2 underwent a reduction in the preimmunized calves. BHV2 apparently enhanced the immuno-competent system of the preimmunized calves to produce antibody to HSV.From these results it appeared that HSV partially protected calves against experimentally induced BHV2 infection.  相似文献

Four bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) commercial vaccines, three of which (vaccines B, D, E) were modified live vaccines (MLV) and one (vaccine A) identified as a live strain of BHV-1 gE negative, were used for vaccination of calves, using three calves for each vaccine. Three months after vaccination calves were subjected to dexamethasone (DMS) treatment following which virus was recovered from calves inoculated with vaccine B and from those given vaccine D. No virus reactivation was obtained in calves, which received vaccines A or E. The DNA extracted from the two reactivated viruses was subjected to restriction endonuclease analysis. The restriction pattern of the isolate obtained from calves vaccinated with vaccine D differs significantly from that of the original vaccine, whereas the reactivated virus from calves given vaccine B conserved the general pattern of the original vaccine strain. For each reactivated virus in this experiment (B and D) as well as for the isolate obtained from calves vaccinated with a further MLV (vaccine C) in a previous trial, three calves were inoculated. No clinical signs of disease were detected in any of the inoculated calves during the observation period. When the nine calves were exposed 40 days later to challenge infection with virulent BHV-1, they remained healthy and no virus was isolated from their nasal swabbings. These results indicate that some BHV-1 vaccines considered in the project can establish latency in the vaccinated calves, however, the latency does not appear to interfere with the original properties of the vaccines in terms of safety and efficacy.  相似文献

Exposure of colostrum-deprived calves and calves with colostrally acquired maternal antibody to aerosols of parainfluenza-3 (PI-3) virus resulted in signs of infection, leukopenia, and shedding of virus from the nasal passages. However, infection was not as severe in calves with colostrally acquired maternal antibody as it was in colostrum-deprived calves which did not have antibody to PI-3 virus before they were exposed. All calves responded immunologically to PI-3 virus, as indicated by resistance to challenge exposure and subsequent development of virus-neutralizing antibody. However, levels of serum and nasal secretion (NS) antibody at 30 days after viral exposure were lower in calves with colostrally acquired maternal antibody than in colostrum-deprived calves, and a serum antibody response in the former was primarily indicated by an anamnestic response after challenge exposure. After calves were challenge exposed to PI-3 virus, serum and NS antibodies were increased in all calves, but antibody titers were generally lower for calves that had colostrally acquired maternal antibody before their exposure than for those that acquired antibody only after PI-3 viral infection.  相似文献

Calves were intranasally challenged with bovine herpesvirus 5 (BHV5) and followed for the development of viral infection, clinical encephalitis, histologic lesions in the brain, and viral sequences in the trigeminal ganglia. Calves that were previously vaccinated with bovine herepesvirus 1 (BHV1, n = 4) or previously infected with BHV1 (n = 5) or that had not been exposed to either virus (n = 4) were compared. No calf developed signs of encephalitis, although all calves developed an infection as indicated by nasal secretion of BHV5 and seroconversion to the virus. Histologic lesions of encephalitis consisting of multifocal gliosis and perivascular cuffs of lymphocytes were observed in calves not previously exposed to BHV1. BHV5 sequences were amplified from the trigeminal ganglia of calves previously vaccinated and from calves not previously exposed to BHV1; calves sequentially challenged with BHV1 and later BHV5 had exclusively BHV1 sequences in their trigeminal ganglia. Administration of dexamethasone 28 days after BHV5 challenge did not influence clinical disease or histologic lesions in either previously unexposed calves (n = 2) or previously immunized calves (n = 2), although it did cause recrudescence of BHV5, as detected by nasal virus secretion.  相似文献

Efficient methods of diagnosis and prophylaxis of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis must consider the concept of latency of the etiological agent, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (Bovine herpesvirus 1; BHV 1). The identification of BHV 1 in nasal mucus samples or a rise in specific antibodies have to be cautiously interpreted, because they can signify either a primary infection or a reexcretion of the virus after reactivation. The isolated virus can also either be a vaccine or a virulent strain. Another aspect of BHV 1 infection diagnosis is the detection of latent carriers, which are able to transmit the virus to uninfected animals; delayed hypersensitivity test seems to be a good candidate. The classical methods of prophylaxis protect the animal against the disease, but they should also impede the reexcretion of virulent strains by latent carriers. Since, in several countries, attenuated viruses are used as vaccines, a special emphasis has to be laid on the persistence of these vaccine viruses in a latent form in the bovine population.  相似文献

Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) containing CpG motifs signal through TLR9 and activate innate immunity resulting in protection against a variety of parasitic, bacterial and viral pathogens in mouse models. However, few studies have demonstrated protection in humans and large animals. In the present investigations, we evaluated protection by CpG ODN in a parainfluenza-3 (PI-3) virus infection in neonatal lambs. Subcutaneous (SC) injection of CpG ODN induced high levels of 2′5′-A synthetase and significantly reduced PI-3 virus shedding in newborn lambs. Furthermore, pre-treatment of newborn lambs with SC CpG ODN 2 days, but not 6 days prior to the virus challenge was protective. In contrast, intratracheal (IT) administration of CpG ODN induced 2′5′-A synthetase but had no significant impact on PI-3 virus shedding in nasal secretions. We conclude that a systemic administration of CpG ODN and the timing of the treatment are critical for the protection of neonatal lambs against a respiratory viral infection.  相似文献

To control the diseases caused by bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1), bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), and bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVDV), it is crucial to know their modes of transmission. The purpose of this study was to determine whether these viruses can be transmitted by air to a substantial extent. Calves were housed in two separate isolation stables in which a unidirectional airflow was maintained through a tube in the wall. In one stable, three of the five calves were experimentally infected with BHV1 and later with BRSV. In the BVDV experiment, two calves persistently infected with BVDV (PI-calves) instead of experimentally infected calves, were used as the source of the virus. In all the calves infections were monitored using virus and antibody detection. Results showed that all the three viruses were transmitted by air. BHV1 spread to sentinel calves in the adjacent stable within three days, and BRSV within nine days, and BVDV spread to sentinel calves probably within one week. Although airborne transmission is possibly not the main route of transmission, these findings will have consequences for disease prevention and regulations in control programmes.  相似文献

Infections caused by BHV1 are very common in Europe, but the disease pattern is quite different: the diseases of the genital tract are most common, those of the respiratory tract vary in intensity and prevalence. Digestive disorders connected with BHV1 are in general only observed in calves and mainly in Belgium. Virus strains causing abortion or encephalitis are only present in a few countries. The same is true for BHV1 induced mastitis. Dermatitis and lesions in the interdigital space seem to be a rare event. BHV1 infections are frequently complicated by bacterial secondary infections, but there is evidence that BHV1 infections can occur simultaneously with bovine virus diarrhoea (BVD) and/or parainfluenza-3 (PI 3) virus. The biggest problem associated with BHV1 infection is the ability of the agent to become latent following a primary infection. The genome of the virus probably remains during the life of the animal in the ganglia of the region where the primary infection occurred. No vaccination can overcome this latent stage. By prophylactic vaccination it is possible to prevent an outbreak of clinical disease but it is impossible to prevent infection followed by the establishment of latency. Eradication programmes in Austria, Denmark and Switzerland have removed most of the seropositive cattle from the bovine populations. Currently a sanitary programme is also being conducted in Germany.  相似文献

The aim of the experiment was to study whether bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) marker vaccine batches known to be contaminated with bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVDV) type 1 could cause BVD in cattle. For this purpose, four groups of cattle were used. The first group (n = 4 calves, the positive control group), was vaccinated with vaccine from a batch contaminated with BVDV type 2. The second group (n = 4 calves, the negative control group), was vaccinated with vaccine from a batch that was not contaminated with BVDV. The third group (n = 39 calves), was vaccinated with a vaccine from one of four batches contaminated with BVDV type 1 (seronegative experimental group). The fourth group (n = 6 seropositive heifers), was vaccinated with a vaccine from one of three batches known to be contaminated with BVDV type 1. All cattle were vaccinated with an overdose of the BHV1 marker vaccine. At the start of the experiment, all calves except those from group 4 were seronegative for BVDV and BHV1. The calves from group 4 had antibodies against BVDV, were BVDV-free and seronegative to BHV1. After vaccination, the positive control calves became severely ill, had fever for several days, and BVDV was isolated from nasal swabs and white blood cells. In addition, these calves produced antibodies to BVDV and BHV1. No difference in clinical scores of the other groups was seen, nor were BVDV or BVDV-specific antibody responses detected in these calves; however, they did produce antibodies against BHV1. The remainder of each vaccine vial used was examined for the presence of infectious BVDV in cell culture. From none of the vials was BVDV isolated after three subsequent passages. This indicates that BVDV was either absent from the vials or was present in too low an amount to be isolated. Thus vaccination of calves with vaccines from BHV1 marker vaccine batches contaminated with BVDV type 1 did not result in BVDV infections.  相似文献

Recurrent infection in calves vaccinated with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis-(IBR) modified live virus was induced by dexamethasone (DM) treatment given 49 days after challenge exposure with virulent IBR virus. Nonchallenge-exposed IM and intranasally vaccinated calves did not excrete the virus after DM treatment; however, IM and intranasally vaccinated and subsequently challenge-exposed calves excreted the challenge-exposure virus into the nasal secretions 5 to 11 days and 6 to 10 days after the DM treatment, respectively. The calves were killed 15 to 18 days (experiment 1) and 14 days (experiment 2) and DM treatment was started and then were examined by histopathologic and fluorescent antibody techniques. All DM-treated calves that were inoculated with the vaccinal virus and challenge exposed with the virulent virus developed nonsuppurative trigeminal ganglionitis and encephalitis. On the contrary, the DM-treated nonchallenge-exposed vaccinated calves did not have lesions in the peripheral nervous system and CNS. Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus antigens were not observed in tissues of any of the calves examined (experiments 1 and 2) by fluorescent antibody techniques. These observations indicated that the modified live IBR virus neither produced lesions nor induced latent infection and that modified live IBR virus vaccination did not protect the calves against the establishment of a latent infection after their exposure to large doses of the virulent IBR virus.  相似文献

Recrudescence of bovine herpesvirus-5 in experimentally infected calves   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
A latent infection of bovine herpesvirus-5 (BHV-5) was established in 4 calves. These calves, plus 2 controls, were given dexamethasone (DM) to reactivate the latent virus. The 4 principal calves developed antibodies to BHV-5 by postinoculation day (PID) 21. Antibody titers increased until PID 42 before decreasing to low levels of PID 75. After the first DM treatment (started on PID 76), an anamnestic antibody response was demonstrated in the 4 principal calves. Calves, 2, 3, and 4 were euthanatized and necropsied at PID 121, and their antibody titers were again decreasing. The virus BHV-5 was not isolated from the tissues by conventional techniques of viral isolation but was isolated from the trigeminal ganglion and spinal cord of calf 3 by explantation techniques. The BHV-5 was isolated, using conventional viral isolation techniques, from a nasal swab sample of calf 1 on PID 91 (15 days after the first DM treatment) and from the thoracic lymph node 6 days after the start of a 2nd DM treatment. Seemingly, BHV-5 may be latently harbored in the nerve tissues or calves and this virus may be reactivated from the upper respiratory tract following subsequent DM treatment.  相似文献

Fluorescent antibody (FA) studies of tissues from three colostrum deprived calves inoculated intranasally with the SF-4 strain of bovine para-influenza 3 (PI-3) virus indicated that these calves developed a mild upper respiratory infection but infected cells were not identified in the lower respiratory tract. Three other calves inoculated intranasally and intratracheally with PI-3 virus developed more severe clinical signs of infection and virus was identified, by FA techniques, in the upper and lower respiratory tract of all three calves and in the spleen of one calf. PI-3 virus was detected in smears of nasal epithelium from five of six calves at some time during the observation period.  相似文献

An experiment was performed to develop a model to study the impact of stress on responsiveness to infection with bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) in veal calves. Social isolation after previous group-housing was used as a putatively stressful treatment. Group-housed specific pathogen-free veal calves (n=8) were experimentally infected with BHV1 at the age of 12 weeks. Half of the calves were socially isolated at the time of infection. Clinical, virological and serological responses to BHV1, and adreno-cortical reactivity to exogenous ACTH were examined. In comparison with group-housed calves, calves socially isolated at the time of infection showed a diminished clinical and fever response, and delayed viral excretion after primary infection with BHV1. Four weeks after social isolation, basal cortisol levels before, and the integrated cortisol response after administration of a low dose of ACTH, were significantly depressed in socially isolated calves. The results suggest that social isolation in veal calves influences the response to an experimental BHV1 infection. A possible mechanism is discussed.  相似文献

Reactivation of infection bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus in calves administered dexamethasone (DM) was studied in 2 experiments. At 2, 3, 5, 15, or 30 months after inoculation of the Los Angeles strain of IBR virus, IV injections of DM were given for 5 consecutive days to induce a recurrent infection (experiment 1). Three months after the 1st treatment, a 2nd recurrent infection was induced, using DM with the same doses as used in experiment 1. The virus was excreted from nasal secretions from the 4th to the 10th day after initial treatment with DM, and from the 6th to the 9th day after the 2nd treatment. On pathologic examination, trigeminal ganglionitis, consisting of many proliferated microglia and inflammatory cells, was observed in all DM-treated calves. Moreover, degeneration of the ganglion cells and neuronophagia were prominent features in the calves after the 2nd recurrent infection. These observations indicated that the trigeminal ganglion may be one of the latent sites of IBR virus in calves after intranasal infection and that calves can develop a recrudescent infection after DM treatment several times during their lifetime.  相似文献

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from calves infected with bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV1) or parainfluenza 3 virus (PI3) were cultured in vitro in the presence of inactivated specific antigen presented on MDBK cells. In the presence of inactivated antigen, PBMC from both BHV1-infected and control calves produced interferon (IFN)-alpha in 24 hour cultures. Altering the culture conditions did not result in the detection of immune-specific IFN produced by mononuclear cells from BHV1-infected calves. However, spontaneous IFN was detected in the absence of antigen in 24 hour cultures from infected animals: this IFN was pH 2 labile and completely neutralised by antiserum to recombinant bovine IFN-gamma. Spontaneous IFN-gamma production was only seen in calves following a second BHV1 inoculation, given four to seven weeks after the primary dose. In contrast PBMC cultures from PI3 virus-infected calves did not produce IFN-gamma spontaneously, but did so in cultures which contained inactivated PI3 antigen. Mononuclear cells from control animals failed to produce either IFN-alpha or -gamma when cultured with inactivated PI3 virus. IFN-gamma was detected in PBMC cultures after the primary infection, with no increase in production occurring following subsequent PI3 virus inoculations. Immunospecific production of IFN-gamma provides a simple method for monitoring cell-mediated immunity in BHV1- and PI3 virus-infected calves and can be used for evaluating the efficacy of vaccines against these viruses.  相似文献

Three calves, latently infected with bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV 1), were each inoculated intranasally with 9 strains of ruminant pestivirus (BVDV). All three calves developed a biphasic pyrexia and a lymphopenia followed by a neutrophilia. They did not shed BHV 1 in their nasal secretions in the 14 days following BVDV inoculation, and their BHV 1 antibody levels remained static, as did those of 2 control calves not given BVDV. All five calves were subsequently shown to be latently infected with BHV 1 by the production of recrudescent infections following the administration of dexamethasone. BHV 1 was recovered from nasal secretions and there was a marked rise in BHV 1 antibody titres in the second week after dexamethasone administration.  相似文献

Objective-To determine whether administration of 2 doses of a multivalent, modified-live virus vaccine prior to breeding of heifers would provide protection against abortion and fetal infection following exposure of pregnant heifers to cattle persistently infected (PI) with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and cattle with acute bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) infection. Design-Randomized controlled clinical trial. Animals-33 crossbred beef heifers, 3 steers, 6 bulls, and 25 calves. Procedures-20 of 22 vaccinated and 10 of 11 unvaccinated heifers became pregnant and were commingled with 3 steers PI with BVDV type 1a, 1b, or 2 for 56 days beginning 102 days after the second vaccination (administered 30 days after the first vaccination). Eighty days following removal of BVDV-PI steers, heifers were commingled with 3 bulls with acute BHV1 infection for 14 days. Results-After BVDV exposure, 1 fetus (not evaluated) was aborted by a vaccinated heifer; BVDV was detected in 0 of 19 calves from vaccinated heifers and in all 4 fetuses (aborted after BHV1 exposure) and 6 calves from unvaccinated heifers. Bovine herpesvirus 1 was not detected in any fetus or calf and associated fetal membranes in either treatment group. Vaccinated heifers had longer gestation periods and calves with greater birth weights, weaning weights, average daily gains, and market value at weaning, compared with those for calves born to unvaccinated heifers. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance-Prebreeding administration of a modified-live virus vaccine to heifers resulted in fewer abortions and BVDV-PI offspring and improved growth and increased market value of weaned calves.  相似文献

Six heifers were vaccinated intranasally with the live bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) temperature-sensitive (ts) vaccine strain RBL106 within 3 weeks of birth. These calves most likely still had maternal antibodies against BHV1. Thereafter, these heifers were vaccinated several times with an experimental BHV1 glycoprotein-D (gD) subunit vaccine. At the age of 3 years these 6 heifers were seronegative in the BHV1 gB and gE blocking ELISAs, but had neutralizing antibodies against BHV1, probably induced by the vaccinations with the gD subunit vaccine. Five of these 6 heifers excreted BHV1 after treatment with dexamethasone. Restriction enzyme analysis of the genome of the excreted viruses revealed that all 5 isolates had a BHV1.1 genotype and that isolates of 3 heifers were not obviously different from the ts-vaccine strain. The restriction enzyme fragment pattern of the isolate of 1 heifer was clearly different from the pattern of the ts-vaccine strain. It is concluded that cattle can be seronegative against BHV1 gB and gE but can still carry BHV1 in a latent form. This finding strongly suggests that there are completely BHV1 seronegative cattle that are latently infected with BHV1. The impact of this finding on BHV1 eradication programmes is discussed.  相似文献
