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

In a closed dairy herd in the province of Utrecht in 1995, nine replacement heifers were erroneously intramuscularly vaccinated with Tracherine, a live virus IBR vaccine. More than 18 months later, serology of the herd revealed that a large part of the herd had developed an antibody response towards BHV1 (62 of 87 animals). To investigate whether Tracherine had recirculated on the farm, four BHV1 antibody positive animals, of which two had been vaccinated with Tracherine, were treated with corticosteroids to reactivate latent BHV1. Two virus isolates were obtained and subsequently analysed by resctriction enzyme analysis. Both isolates were identified as BHV1.1 subtypes. One of the isolates was clearly distinct from Tracherine and was most likely a BHV1 field virus. A BHV1 field virus was most likely introduced into the farm even though the herd was closed, the animals had not been in contact with other cattle, and preventive hygienic measures had been implemented. There was no indication that Tracherine had recirculated.  相似文献

Ten years after the first outbreak of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) in Swiss dairy cows, the national cattle herd is almost free from infection with IBR virus (bovine herpesvirus 1, BHV 1). The national programme for the eradication of IBR was divided into four phases: (1) Prevention of transmission of the infection by restrictions on trade of bovines and assessment of the prevalence of cattle with antibodies to BHV 1. (2) Slaughtering animals with antibodies to BHV 1 in order to eradicate BHV 1 from breeding herds. (3) Detection and eradication of further BHV 1 reservoirs (e.g. fattening cattle). (4) Monitoring programme and legal actions in order to maintain the favourable situation. Approximately 50,000 animals were slaughtered in the course of the eradication of IBR. The total costs amounted to approximately SFr. 110,000,000 over 10 years. The costs for maintaining the situation are estimated at approximately SFr. 5,000,000 per annum.  相似文献

Serological evidence of exposure of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) to a virus related to bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) (Synonym: Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus) has been reported in Canada (El Azhary 1979) and the USA (Dieterich 1981). A serological survey conducted in Finnish Lapland also detected neutralising antibodies to BHV1 in reindeer sera; 23 % of 300 reindeer had detectable antibodies, whereas none of 300 cattle sera from the same region contained antibodies to BHV1 (Ek-Kommonen et al. 1982). There is currently no evidence of BHV1 infection of cattle in Finland, so the isolation and characterisation of the reindeer herpesvirus was of considerable interest. This short communication describes the isolation and preliminary characterisation of a herpesvirus from a reindeer following the administration of dexamethasone.  相似文献

Six dairy calves, six and one-half to nine months old, were exposed to a strain of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus of bovine fetal origin by one of the various routes — nasal, vaginal, preputial or contact. Neither after initial exposure nor following challenge of their immunity did any of these animals manifest the IBR respiratory syndrome, although two of them (inoculated per vagina/prepuce) developed pustular vulvovaginitis or balanoposthitis. Also, one five-day old dairy calf which had received colostrum and milk of its IBR-immune dam, was inoculated intranasally with the same strain of IBR virus. This animal exhibited severe signs of IBR. The virus was recovered from all but three of the seven calves after initial exposure and from all but one animal following challenge of their immunity. Immune responses of these calves resembled those of adult cattle.  相似文献

In order to investigate the specificity of low titer antibodies to BHV 1, twelve cattle were subjected to stress and dexamethasone treatment. They were monitored virologically by inoculating cell cultures with naso-pharyngeal-, ocular- and vaginal- or preputial swabs and serologically by assessing the prevalence and incidence of antibodies to bovine, caprine-, porcine-, and equine herpesviruses and to bovine leukemia virus. Antibodies were classified as specific for BHV 1 if the animals excreted IBR virus, or if the antibodies neutralized BHV 1 and reacted with BHV 1 antigens, or if they reacted additionally with CapHV antigens. Animals whose sera recognized BHV 1 and BHV 2 but not other herpesviruses, were judged to have experienced both infections. Nine of the twelve animals had specific BHV 1 antibodies. With three animals the question for specificity of their antibodies remains open. Two animals experienced several herpesvirus infections. Therefore, the induction of crossreacting antibodies, directed against epitopes common to herpesviruses, could not be ruled out. The sera of one animal reacted with BHV 1 and BHV 4 antigens in ELISA tests. They did, however, not neutralize BHV 1.  相似文献

Three strains (479 C, 778 TL, 982 LE) of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus isolated from latently infected calves were compared with the prototype strain of IBR virus (LA strain) in studies which included restriction endonuclease analysis, experimental infection, and reciprocal cross protection tests in cattle. From the restriction endonuclease analysis it appeared that the 3 "latent" viruses were derived from the same isolate, and that it differed slightly from the LA strain. However, latency does not seem to have affected the pathogenicity or the immunogenicity of the virus. This is demonstrated by the identical clinical and virologic response of calves subjected to experimental infection with the various strains under study, and by the finding that when the LA strain and a "latent" strain (982 LE) were tested in cross protection tests in cattle, they proved to be mutually protective.  相似文献

Persistence of antibodies in calves vaccinated with 2 types of inactivated infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus and parainfluenza-3 (PI-3) virus vaccines were determined. Calves seronegative for IBR and PI-3 viruses were inoculated with 2 doses of inactivated IBR virus-PI-3 virus vaccines administered 2 weeks apart. Blood samples were obtained from the calves for serum at 2 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year after vaccination. The serums were tested by serum-neutralization tests. Antibody response to the vaccines persisted on a declining scale for 1 year. The anamnestic responses to the vaccines were determined by inoculating the same calves with a booster dose of vaccine 1 year after the original 2 doses were given. Blood samples were obtained from the calves for serum 2 weeks later. The serums were tested by serum-neutralization tests. The single booster dose of vaccine elicited an anamnestic response to both IBR and PI-3 viruses.  相似文献

Bovine Herpesvirus Type 1 (BHV1) is the aetiological agent of a number of diseases and not only of IBR, namely infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IPV), infectious balanoposthitis (IBP), conjunctivitis, encephalomyelitis, mastitis, abortion, enteritis, and lesions in the interdigital space. The serological identical strains differ, however, in some aspects. Typical genital strains usually cause a mild illness, sometimes not even detected clinically, but serologically. They hamper eradication programmes and do not cause IBR when inoculated intranasally. The other--modern--strains are, however, always able to induce a severe disease in the genital tracts. But infection of field or vaccine virus leads to the development of humoral and cell-mediated immunity. The latter is, however, not transmitted to neonates via colostrum. BHV1 antibodies can be found in bovines in all continents, and in many wild species. Prevalences vary greatly depending on herd size and management. Because seronegative cattle play a role in international trade a number of European countries have eradicated BHV1, with very high costs involved. Marker and conventional vaccines can prevent disease but not infection followed by the state of latency. The genomes of several strains, including the marker strains can remain latent in the same animal and be reactivated after stress or injection of corticosteroids. For the detection of humoral antibodies the ELISA is widely used. It is useful for testing bulk milk samples for antibodies derived from field virus and conventional vaccines but not from gE-deleted marker vaccines. Importing countries should consider only vaccinated animals for import. They should require that the animals are seronegative prior to vaccination.  相似文献

An outbreak of ataxia, blindness, respiratory disease and kerato-conjunctivitis occurred in October 1972 in a beef feedlot in Cyprus. Fifteen animals died and 10 that were severely ataxic were slaughtered; many animals became blind. There was no opportunity to isolate virus when the disease was active but in March and October 1973 infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus was isolated from cattle after they had been treated corticosteroids to stimulate virus excretion. It is probable that IBR virus caused the disease. This is the first report of the isolation of IBR virus from cattle in Cyprus.  相似文献

The eradication of Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis/Infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IBR/IPV) in Switzerland is reviewed. In 1978 IBR was reported in dairy cattle in the Eastern part of Switzerland. No preexisting eradication program was available at that time. In 1983, following a period of hesitation, the legal basis for the eradication of IBR was issued. This aim was achieved by: i) Controls and restrictions of the traffic of susceptible animals in order to prevent further transmission of IBR. ii) Slaughter of seropositive cattle, based on the assumption that animals with antibodies to BHV 1 were virus carriers and therefore an IBR-virus-reservoir. iii) The fact that besides the cattle population no BHV 1 reservoir existed in Switzerland. iv) Never licensing IBR-vaccines because they were not able to prevent the infection and the establishment of latency. The costs of the eradication program amounted to approx. SFr. 114,000,000. A total of 51,911 animals were slaughtered in order to eradicate IBR. An amount of SFr. 5,000,000 per annum is estimated to be necessary in order to maintain the favourable situation concerning IBR. In the future, the experience concerning IBR is applied for the prevention and control of other infectious diseases in the Swiss cattle population.  相似文献

Measles virus (MeV) vaccine strain, AIK-C, is temperature sensitive (ts), which is thought to be associated with attenuation of virus pathogenicity. In this study, replication and antibody response were examined in cotton rats using viruses carrying different forms of the P gene, which is responsible for the ts phenotype of strain AIK-C and its parental Edmonston strain. When cotton rats were inoculated intranasally, ts viruses neither replicated in lungs, nor reproducibly generated an antibody response. When inoculated intramusculary (i.m.), however, ts strains raised an antibody titer in all animals. This response was not observed when ultraviolet-inactivated virus was used. ts virus, inoculated i.m., was recovered from cotton rat drainage lymph nodes. These results suggest that ts virus, inoculated i.m., could replicate in the cotton rat, presumably at the superficial lymph node, and induce an antibody response. Therefore, cotton rats can serve as a small-animal model for investigating immune responses to safer ts vaccine, as well as recombinant vaccine using AIK-C as a vector for protection against other infectious agents.  相似文献

The in vitro lymphoproliferative assay specific for bovine herpes virus type 1 (BHV1) was tested for its ability to predict whether an animal was protected against challenge with virulent BHV1 and for its ability to identify animals latently infected with the virus. Three animals that had been in contact with a field strain of the virus, three that had been vaccinated with a modified live-virus vaccine seven weeks previously, six that had been vaccinated in the same way five months previously, and seven control animals that had had no previous contact with the virus were challenged with virulent BHV1. The 12 animals that had had previous contact with BHV1 all resisted the challenge well or fairly well, but six of them did not react positively in the in vitro lymphoproliferative assay. It was concluded that the assay did not give consistent evidence of the immune status of the animals. Four animals that had had previous contact with a field strain of BHV1 were treated with dexamethasone; they excreted BHV1 irrespective of whether they showed a positive response in the in vitro lymphoproliferative assay.  相似文献

Trials were conducted on rabbits and cattle to compare the immunizing effectiveness of the subunit vaccine against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), representing antigens separated by the solubilization of the IBR virus-infected cells by means of Triton X-100 with oil adjuvant, with the inactivated oil IBR vaccine. The rabbits inoculated and re-vaccinated with both vaccines in an interval of three weeks produced neutralizing antibodies in medium titres, the values of these antibodies were balanced in both groups. Cattle immunized with the subunit vaccine reacted to the inoculation and re-vaccination by producing serum antibodies of higher titres, as compared with the cattle inoculated with the virus vaccine; secretory antibodies were detected only after re-vaccination and had balanced values in both test groups. After intranasal infection with the virulent virus performed after 14 days from re-vaccination, the calves inoculated with the subunit and virus vaccines were protected against clinical disease whereas the non-inoculated control calves fell ill with symptoms characteristic of IBR. The immunized animals of both experimental groups had a smaller amount of virus p.i. in nasal secretions and for a shorter time than the control non-inoculated calves. The intensity of multiplication and persistence of infectious virus excretion were the same in both experimental groups.  相似文献

Two cattle, free of antibody to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV) were infected intranasally with IBRV, and developed specific antibody to the virus. Ten weeks later, both animals were given an intravenous course of dexamethasone (DM). Nasal excretion of physical particles of virus, as judged by electron microscopy, occurred in both animals, as early as 24 h after the first DM injection, and high levels of infectious particles appeared several days later. Neutralizing antibody titre to IBRV increased following excretion of virus. Further courses of DM given at 20 and 32 weeks following initial infection were not associated with excretion of physical, ‘non-infectious’ particles or significant changes in specific antibody titre, although on each occasion one of the two animals excreted low levels of infectious particles.  相似文献

Six calves inoculated intranasally with a vaccinal strain of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus and 6 control calves were given a placebo. All calves were subsequently challenge exposed (by aerosol) with rhinovirus--3 of the calves from each group at 2 days after they were inoculated with IBR virus or with placebo and the remaining calves at 6 days. Nasal excretion of viruses, interferon (IFN) concentrations in nasal secretions (NS), and neutralizing antibody in sera and NS were determined. All calves given the vaccinal IBR virus subsequently had IFN in their NS. Interferon was detected as early as 1 day, reached maximal titers at 2 to 4 days, and persisted in individual calves for 5 to 10 days after inoculation. Rhinovirus shedding was not detected from IBR virus-inoculated calves whose NS contained both rhinovirus antibody and IFN at the time of challenge exposure; such calves were protected at either 2 or 6 days after IBR virus inoculation. The outcome of rhinovirus challenge exposure of calves whose NS contained IFN, but not rhinovirus antibody, varied with the day of challenge exposure. Rhinovirus excretion was detected from 2 of these calves challenge exposed 2 days after IBR virus inoculation, but was not detected from a calf challenge exposed 6 days after inoculation. However, while IFN was present in NS from the former 2 calves, rhinovirus shedding was markedly reduced as compared with that from control calves without IFN or NS antibody at the time of challenge exposure. Consistent relationship was not observed between the rhinovirus neutralizing antibody titer of calves' sera and NS. The antibody titer of NS more closely correlated with protective immunity to rhinovirus infection than did the serum antibody titer.  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

Efficacy of an inactivated quadrivalent vaccine containing infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus, parainfluenza type 3 (PI3) virus, bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVDV) and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) was assessed in naive bovine calves to evaluate short-term (4-18 weeks) and long-term (24-38 weeks) protection following the basic intramuscular vaccination regime of 2 inoculations a month apart. Vaccination was staggered between the long-term and the short-term groups by about 5 months so that both groups, along with a matched group of 6 unvaccinated (control) calves, could be challenged at the same time. Sequential challenges at intervals of 3-8 weeks were done in the order: IBR virus (intranasally, IN), PI3 virus (IN and intratracheally, IT), pestiviruses (IN) and BRSV (IN and IT). The IBR virus challenge produced febrile rhinotracheitis (FRT) in control calves but both the severity and the duration of FRT was significantly reduced in both vaccinated groups. The amount and the duration of IBR virus shed by the vaccinated groups was significantly reduced compared to the control group. Although PI3 virus, pooled pestivirus and BRSV challenges did not result in a noteworthy disease, challenge virus shedding (amount and duration) from the upper (all 3 viruses) and the lower (BRSV) respiratory tracts was significantly reduced in vaccinated groups. After pestivirus challenge, sera and leukocytes from all control calves were infectious for 6-9 days whereas virus was recovered only from leukocytes in vaccinated calves and only for 1.6-2.7 days. Thus a standard course of the quadrivalent vaccine afforded a significant protection against IBR virus, PI3 virus, BVDV and BRSV for at least 6 months.  相似文献

Thirty-five vaccinates and 29 control beef calves from five farms were studied. Vaccinates in group 1 received a modified live virus vaccine against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) and bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) 30 days after shipment; vaccinates in groups 2, 3 and 4 received live virus vaccines agains IBR and bovine parainfluenza 3 (PI3) seven to 17 days before shipment. Half of group 5 were given bovine origin antiserum containing antibodies against IBR, BVD and PI3. Three weeks later, the animals that had received serum were given a live modified vaccine containing IBR, BVD and PI3. In group 1, WBC counts were lower in the vaccinates than in the controls for two weeks after vaccination. WBC counts in groups 3 and 4 were higher in vaccinates than in controls after addition to the feedlot. Seroconversions to BVD virus occured in all groups. Clinical disease apparently due to BVD affected one vaccinated calf in group 2 and eight calves in group 5. Combined weight gains were significantly higher in three groups of calves vaccinated before shipment compared to unvaccinated control animals after addition to the feedlot. Vaccination with IBR and PI3 live virus vaccines should be given at least 17 days before shipment to feedlots containing infected cattle. Antiserum containing antibodies against the three viruses showed no apparent advantage in preventing clinical respiratory disease over control calves not receiving the serum.  相似文献
