The purpose of the study was to evaluate the role which non-essential envelope glycoproteins play in the neuroinvasion and neural spread of ADV. The invasion and spread in the trigeminal nervous pathway with the Ka strain of ADV and its single deletion mutants Ka gI−, Ka gp63− and Ka gIII− were examined after intranasal inoculation in neonatal pigs by virus isolation and immunocytochemistry. Evaluation was performed in the nasal mucosa, trigeminal ganglion (1st neuronal level), pons-medulla (2nd neuronal level) and thalamus-cerebellum (3rd neuronal level). The Ka gIII− mutant invaded up to the 3rd neuronal level of the trigeminal pathway and spread in a similar way to the parental Ka strain. The Ka gp63− mutant invaded up to the 3rd neuronal level but the spread of this mutant was impaired at all the neuronal levels. The Ka gI− mutant was least neuroinvasive and reached only up to the 2nd neuronal level. The results showed that glycoproteins gI and gp63 play a role in the invasion and spread of ADV in the nervous system. However, the gI glycoprotein appears to be the most important for neuroinvasion and neural spread of ADV in pigs. Therefore, gI deleted vaccines may be considered to be safer with respect to the neuroinvasion than vaccines carrying single deletions of other non-essential envelope glycoproteins.  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

Hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (HEV; also designated vomiting and wasting disease virus) was inoculated oronasally in 14 colostrum-deprived pigs at the day of birth. Anorexia and vomition were seen after 4 days. Pigs were killed at different times after inoculation, and the results of the examination by immunofluorescent antibody technique revealed that the epithelial cells of nasal mucosa, tonsils, lungs, and small intestine served as sites of primary viral replication. After the local replication near the sites of entry, the virus spread via peripheral nervous system to the CNS. During the incubation period, viral antigens were detected in the trigeminal ganglion,the inferior vagal ganglion, the superior cervical ganglion, the intestinal nervous plexuses, the solar ganglion, and the dorsal root ganglia of the lower thoracic region. In the brain stem, the infection started in the trigeminal and vagal sensory nuclei and spread to other nuclei and to the rostral part of the brain stem. In later stages of the infection, viral spread into the cerebrum, cerebellum, and spinal cord was sometimes also observed. Viral replication in nervous plexuses of the stomach was not present during the incubation period, but was detected in all except 1 of the pigs that were ill when killed. The question whether the vomition is induced centrally by viral replication in the brain stem or is due to viral replication in peripheral nervous tissues remains unanswered.  相似文献

12 Large-White-Landrace piglets were subdivided in four groups of 3 and housed in separate units. The piglets of three groups were inoculated with the 86/27V 6C2 thymidine kinase negative (TK-) mutant of pseudorabies virus (PRV), by different routes. A second inoculation with the same mutant was given to the pigs 21 days later. The animals of a fourth group were left as uninoculated controls. 21 days following the second inoculation with the TK- mutant all pigs were challenge infected with the virulent PRV. On post challenge day (PCD) 30 all pigs were killed and samples for virus detection and histology were taken from several organs. The inoculated TK- mutant of PRV did not induce any ill effects in the pigs except a transient febrile reaction in some animals. Virus was recovered from nasal swabbings from one pig 2 days after the first inoculation of the mutant. After challenge exposure with virulent PRV, the TK- mutant-inoculated pigs were apparently protected, whereas the control pigs all were severely affected and recovered very slowly over 3 weeks. Virus was isolated from the nasal swabbings from the TK- mutant-inoculated pigs on PCDs 2 and 4, whereas the nasal swabbings from the control piglets were all positive for virus from PCD 2 through PCD 10. DNA analysis of the virus recovered showed a pattern identical to that of the virulent PRV. Histologic lesions were found in the respiratory and the central nervous systems, however, the lesions in the TK- mutant-inoculated pigs were much milder compared to those registered for the control pigs. Virus was not isolated from any of the tissue samples that were tested, but viral DNA with sequences typical of PRV genome was detected by PCR in all samples of trigeminal ganglia from either the TK- mutant-inoculated pigs or from the controls.  相似文献

The spread of infection and the morphogenesis of three pseudorabies virus strains were studied in explants of porcine nasal mucosa. Virulent NIA-3 virus was compared with a deletion mutant 2.4N3A, and with a non-virulent Bartha virus. All three virus strains infected nasal epithelial cells. NIA-3 virus particles were enveloped mainly at the inner nuclear membrane; the virus rapidly invaded the stroma, causing widespread necrosis. In contrast, 2.4N3A virus particles were enveloped mainly at the endoplasmic reticulum and the infection spread more slowly. Bartha virus particles were enveloped mainly at the endoplasmic reticulum; the infection spread slowly and remained restricted to the epithelial cells. In situ DNA hybridisation showed an accumulation of Bartha virus DNA in the nucleus 24 hours after inoculation. In nasal mucosa viral virulence seemed directly related to the speed of replication and release of virus from infected cells.  相似文献

Experimental Atrophic Rhinitis in Gnotobiotic Pigs   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5       下载免费PDF全文
Twenty-nine caesarian derived colostrum deprived germfree pigs were reared in isolators in groups of three to four per isolator. At seven days of age each group was inoculated intranasally with one of four strains of Bordetella bronchiseptica (designated B, J, L and 55B), or Pseudomonas aeruginosa or a mucoid strain of Escherichia coli, all previously isolated from nasal mucus of pigs affected with clinical atrophic rhinitis. Another group was inoculated simultaneously with B. bronchiseptica B and Pasteurella multocida. The animals were observed for clinical signs of atrophic rhinitis and monitored bacteriologically at weekly intervals for seven weeks. Then they were bled for serology and killed and their respiratory organs examined for gross and histopathological lesions.

All of the pigs inoculated with the Bordetellae had inflammation of the nasal mucosa and developed positive serum antibody titers against all four of the Bordetella strains used in this study. Strain J caused sneezing and turbinate atrophy in three of four pigs. One of the three pigs inoculated with strain L died in ten days from bronchopneumonia and pericarditis and had turbinate atrophy. Strains B and B55 caused no turbinate atrophy, but two out of three pigs inoculated with both B. bronchiseptica B and P. multocida had turbinate atrophy. No nasal lesions were observed in the pigs inoculated with E. coli or P. aeruginosa or in the noninoculated germfree controls.

The results indicate a variation in the ability of different strains of B. bronchiseptica to cause turbinate atrophy in pigs and demonstrate that nasal infections by these organisms stimulate serum antibody response. Presence of P. multocida appears to increase the severity of the lesions. As the E. coli and Pseudomonas failed to produce atrophic rhinitis, they are probably of no significance as primary etiological agents in the atrophic rhinitis syndrome in swine.

Pseudorabies virus was inoculated intratracheally into sheep to investigate the pathogenesis of pseudorabies virus infection. Clinical signs of pyrexia, depression, frequent swallowing, facial fasciculations, chorea, excessive salivation, mild tympanites, labored breathing and focal pruritus were followed by death Macroscopic lesions were severe focal facial trauma, petechiae in cervicothoracic ganglia and dilated esophaguses. The medulla oblongata and the trigeminal, cranial cervical, cervicothoracic and parabronchial ganglia contained pseudorabies virus and pronounced nonsuppurative inflammatory changes. The neural distribution of lesions and virus suggests that the virus travelled from the respiratory mucosa to the central and sympathetic nervous system by two routes: 1) in the vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves to the medulla oblongata and 2) in the postganglionic fibers to the sympathetic ganglia. The presence of virus in the nasal mucus indicated that horizontal transmission of pseudorabies virus may occur among sheep.  相似文献

After the disappearance of maternal antibodies, no antibodies were detected in five pigs that were congenitally infected with the Bergen strain of swine fever virus. The pigs lived for 2–11 months. One pig showed low levels of precipitating antibody during the last month of its life. The pigs had a normal immune response to sheep red blood cells and to pig parvovirus. These observations suggest the presence of immunological tolerance to swine fever virus in these pigs.Cell mediated immunity, measured by phytohaemagglutinin lymphocyte stimulation, appeared to be normal.  相似文献

Latency of pseudorabies virus (PRV) was established in 8 of 9 pigs born to 2 vaccinated sows. Pigs had high, low, or no maternal antibody titers at the time of the initial inoculation. At postinoculation months 3 to 4, latent PRV could be reactivated in vivo by the administration of large doses of corticosteroids. In most pigs, the stress-simulating treatment resulted in recrudescence of virus shedding after lag periods of 4 to 11 days. In 3 pigs, virus shedding was without clinical signs of disease, whereas clinical signs that developed in 4 pigs appeared to be due to the corticosteroid treatment, rather than to the reactivation of PRV. Pigs with a log10 neutralizing antibody titer of less than or equal to 2.55 at the onset of corticosteroid treatment had a booster response. Reactivated PRV spread to sentinel pigs housed with the inoculated pigs. Reactivation of PRV was also demonstrated in vitro. Explant cultures of trigeminal ganglia from pigs killed between postinoculation months 4 to 5 produced infectious virus. Restriction endonuclease analysis indicated that the reactivated PRV was indistinguishable from virus isolated shortly after the primary infection. Seemingly, pigs with maternal antibodies can become latently infected and therefore may be regarded as potential sources of dissemination of PRV.  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

The nasal and serum antibody response of two groups of pigs, vaccinated with adjuvant containing formalinized or sonicated Bordetella bronchiseptica bacterins was compared with the response of a nonvaccinated group. The tube agglutination test was used to determine agglutinin titers. Following vaccination, all pigs were challenged intranasally with the vaccine strain of Bordetella, after which the nasal Bordetella flora of vaccinated and nonvaccinated pigs was investigated. Sera and nasal secretions from both vaccinated groups exhibited markedly higher agglutinin titers than the control group and serum titers were higher than those in nasal secretions. No differences in agglutinating antibody response were evident between the two vaccines. Serum antibody titers exceeded nasal titers and persisted over a longer period of time. Systemic vaccination resulted in an increased nasal clearance of the vaccine strain by the groups of pigs vaccinated with sonicated or formalined bacterin, whereas no such clearance was evident in the nonvaccinated control group.  相似文献

Several salivary glands and the nasal mucosa of rabid skunks (Mephitis mephitis) contained rabies virus. Generally titers were high in the submandibular, moderate in the parotid and low to moderate in the zygomatic, molar and sublingual salivary glands. The nasal mucosa (glands and epithelium) contained virus at low to moderate titers that occasionally were equal to titers in brain.  相似文献

Recurrent infection by infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus was induced in calves by dexamethasone (DM) treatment (given 5 days) at 5 months after primary infection. The virus appeared in nasal secretions of the calves on the 4th day after initiation of DM treatment and continued until the 9th day. The calves were killed on the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th, and 11th days after DM treatment was started for examination by histopathologic and immunofluorescent antibody techniques. The most significant neural change was trigeminal ganglionitis with neuronophagia, which was observed from the 3rd to the 11th day. Significantly, the extent of changes in the trigeminal ganglion and medulla oblongata corresponded to the amount of DM treatment administered. The IBR virus antigen was first observed in the trigeminal ganglion cells, and thereafter, it was detected in the Schwann cells, satellite cells, neuroglia cells, and nasal mucosa until the 10th day. These observations indicate that the IBR virus is capalbe of producing a persistent infection in the trigeminal ganglion and that trigeminal ganglionitis may be a characteristic lesion for inducing the reactivation of lagent IBR virus.  相似文献

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) latency was investigated, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A PCR protocol was developed that specifically amplified a 217-base pair sequence within the gene encoding the essential glycoprotein gp50 of PRV. Using this PCR procedure, the gp50 sequence was amplified from tissues of pigs infected with various doses of PRV (Becker strain). At postinoculation day 64, viral isolation was performed on nasal swab specimens and homogenates of tonsils and trigeminal nerve ganglia obtained from 11 PRV-convalescent, seropositive pigs. Results were negative in all cases. By use of PCR, 11 of 11 pigs had PRV-positive trigeminal nerve ganglia and brain stem, 10 of 11 pigs had PRV-positive tonsils, and 9 of 11 pigs had PRV-positive olfactory bulbs.  相似文献

The prevalence and quantity of latent pseudorabies virus (PrV) in nervous tissues of pigs exposed to field strain in Korea was investigated by nested and real-time PCR. Nervous tissues including trigeminal ganglion (TG), olfactory bulb (OB), and brain stem (BS) were collected from 94 seropositive pigs. PrV latent infection in nervous tissues was initially investigated by nested PCR targeting three glycoprotein genes (gB, gE, and gG). Based on the obtained result, latent infection was detected in 95.7% of screened animals. Furthermore, it was revealed that the examined tissues harbored different copy numbers of latent PrV genome ranging from <10(2.0) to 10(7.1) copies per microgram of genomic DNA in real-time PCR analysis. These results show that under normal conditions, levels of latent PrV in the nervous tissues of pigs can vary across a wide range. Therefore, the data presented here provides information regarding control of the endemic state of PrV in Korea.  相似文献

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) is widespread in cattle in Brazil and research shows its large antigenic variability. Available vaccines are produced with virus strains isolated in other countries and may not be effective. In this study, inactivated vaccines containing the Brazilian BVDV-Ib IBSP11 isolate were developed and tested on 6 groups of 10 guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus). Animals in groups A and C received an aqueous vaccine (aluminum hydroxide); B and D groups received an oily vaccine (Montanide ISA50); Group E positive-control animals were given an imported commercial vaccine with BVDV-Ia Singer; Group F animals were sham vaccinated (negative control). Groups A, B and E received two doses, and Groups C and D, three, every 21 days. Twelve blood samples were taken, at 21-day intervals over 231 days, and evaluated for antibody titer through virus-neutralization (VN), using a homologous strain (IBSP11), and a heterologous strain (BVDV-Ia NADL). Most animals, 42 days following the first dose, seroconverted to both strains and, after the second dose, there was a significant increase of titers in all groups. The oily formulation induced greater response after the third administration. This increase was not observed with the aqueous vaccines, regardless of the virus used in the VN. Antibody decline was more rapid in animals that received aqueous vaccines. The results showed the importance of studying the influence of endemic strains of commercial vaccines, to improve the efficacy of BVD vaccination. Use of the endemic strain in vaccine formulation presented promising results, as well as the use of guinea pigs as a laboratory model.  相似文献

A thymidine kinase deficient mutant of the Indiana-Funkhauser strain of pseudorabies virus was tested for its ability to stimulate protective immunity in mice and young pigs. Mice vaccinated intraperitoneally were protected from morbidity and mortality when challenged with 50 LD50 of virulent pseudorabies virus. Eight week old pigs were protected from serious morbidity and mortality when challenged with virulent pseudorabies virus. The thymidine kinase mutant was not shed from the nasal passages of pigs vaccinated intramuscularly, but did not prevent shedding of challenge virus.  相似文献

The avirulent Bartha's K strain of pseudorabies virus (PRV) was used to vaccinate 8 pigs at 10 weeks of age by the intransal route (experiment 1). On postvaccination days (PVD) 63 and 91, pigs were treated with corticosteroids. Viral shedding could not be detected. Explant cultures of trigeminal ganglia and tonsils did not produce virus. Four pigs with maternal antibody were vaccinated intranasally with Bartha's (attenuated) K strain of PRV at 10 weeks of age and were challenge exposed with a virulent strain of PRV on PVD 63 (experiment 2). Corticosteroid treatment, starting on postchallenge exposure day 70 (PVD 133) resulted in viral shedding in 1 of 4 pigs. In another pig of these 4, a 2nd corticosteroid treatment was required to trigger reactivation. In both pigs, sufficient reactivated virus was excreted to infect susceptible sentinel pigs. Restriction endonuclease analysis indicated that viruses isolated from the 2 pigs after challenge exposure and corticosteroid treatment were indistinguishable from the virulent virus. Evidence was not obtained for simultaneous excretion of vaccinal and virulent virus. Of 4 pigs without maternal antibody vaccinated twice with 1 of 2 inactivated PRV vaccines, challenge exposed on PVD 84, and treated with corticosteroids on postchallenge exposure day 63 (PVD 147), 1 was latently infected, as evidenced by the shedding of PRV (experiment 3). However, its sentinel pig remained noninfected.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (HEV; also designated vomiting and wasting disease virus) was inoculated oronasally in 26 colostrum-deprived pigs. Anorexia and vomition were seen after an incubation period of 4 to 6 days. In pigs killed during the incubation period or within 2 days after the onset of the clinical signs, HEV could be isolated regularly from the tonsils and the respiratory tract, irregularly from the digestive tract, rarely from the blood, and never from lymph nodes and spleen. The brainstem almost always contained virus after clinical signs appeared, but was only one positive during the incubation period. Olfactory bulb, cerebrum, cerebellum, and vagal nerve were also frequently virus positive in pigs which were ill when killed. The results of the examination by immunofluorescent antibody technique indicated that HEV multiplies in the epithelium lining the respiratory tract and the tonsillar crypts, in neuroepithelium of the nasal mucosa, and in neurons of the digestive tract. The neuronotropism of HEV was also shown by the presence of fluorescence in the perikaryon of neurons in the brainstem and in the trigeminal ganglion without the involvement of other cell types. The presence of viral antigens in the perikaryon of trigeminal sensory ganglion cells in pigs killed during the incubation period was considered as positive evidence for viral spread via nerves.  相似文献
