The coincubation at 37 degrees C for 24 hours of swine peripheral blood mononuclear cells with African swine fever virus inhibited in part the natural killer activity shown by cells incubated without the virus. This inhibition depended on the dose of the virus and on the time that cells were incubated with it. When the virus preparation was fractionated by ultracentrifugation, most of the inhibitory activity was found in the sedimented fraction, where viral particles were present; however, the loss of inhibitory activity in respect to the whole virus preparation indicated that some inhibitory activity was present in the supernatant fraction, probably as factors released by infected cells. Most of the inhibitory activity shown by the sedimented fraction was lost when the virus was inactivated by ultraviolet radiation, indicating an active role of virus infectivity in the inhibition.  相似文献

The 'sand tampan', Ornithodoros savignyi, is susceptible to oral infection with African swine fever (ASF) virus in the laboratory. Infected ticks can transmit the virus transstadially and are able to maintain it for at least 106 days. Transmission of ASF virus by infected ticks to healthy pigs was achieved on five separate occasions between 50 and 106 days after infection. Pigs infected in this way developed typical acute African swine fever. The distribution of O savignyi in Africa suggests that this tick could be a natural field vector of ASF.  相似文献

非洲猪瘟(ASF)目前是生猪产业最重要的猪病。因为非洲猪瘟病毒(ASFV)本身的复杂性,以及和宿主相互作用的复杂性导致ASF已经被报道一百年了,还没有商业化疫苗。理想的ASF疫苗不仅要有好的免疫保护性,更重要的是其安全性,同时如果能区分野毒感染和疫苗接种,能在适合的高质量GMP车间进行稳定低价的生产,能用于不同物种就更好了。ASF灭活疫苗研制这条道路似乎不通;亚单位疫苗、DNA疫苗、病毒活载体疫苗的免疫保护能力不足;主要包含自然缺失、传代致弱、基因工程缺失的减毒活疫苗在免疫保护方面体现了非常大的优势,但是其潜在的持续感染风险,会造成猪只的副作用,包括皮肤溃烂、关节炎,导致神经系统、呼吸系统的损伤等问题非常值得警惕。复制缺陷单周期病毒能有效地解决减毒活疫苗的安全性问题,似乎是一个值得尝试的ASF疫苗研制方向,尽管存在难以确定缺失复制相关的基因,以及难以构建能高效表达缺失基因编码蛋白,且能让单周期病毒稳定大量生产的辅助细胞系。我国针对ASFV强毒的精准剔除策略,未注册非法弱毒苗造成临床严重损失,以及一些不使用疫苗但成功从国家层面净化ASF的案例,让我们认识到针对ASF基础研究的重要性。同时至少目前阶段,ASF的防控不一定要借助疫苗,更多的要做好生物安全管控和区域ASF净化。尽管ASF疫苗研制困难重重,但针对ASF理想型疫苗的研制也应该持续进行下去,未来可能作为ASF防控的一个突破点。  相似文献

Coagulation changes in African swine fever virus infection   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Pigs were infected with highly virulent (Tengani '62), with moderately virulent (DR '79) African swine fever (ASF) virus, or with virulent hog cholera (HC) virus. Changes in platelet counts, selected coagulation assays and concentrations of factor VIII-related antigen (VIIIR:Ag) were monitored. Permeability of aortic endothelium was studied after the injection of Evan's blue dye on various days after infection with DR '79 ASF virus. Virulent ASF virus caused prolongation of the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), 1-stage prothrombin time, and thrombin clotting time as early as postinoculation day (PID) 4. These changes became progressively more severe until death. Both virulent HC and DR'79 viruses induced an increase APPT and thrombin clotting time at PID 3 to 4, only occasionally did the prothrombin time increased significantly (P less than 0.01). The APPT began to decrease on PID 7 and 8, but only DR'79-infected pigs lived long enough to regain a normal APTT. Infection by ASF viruses caused acute thrombocytopenia after PID 6 and platelet counts of HC virus-infected pigs decreased progressively from the onset of fever to levels of 1 to 2 X 10(5)/mm3 at PID 6 to 7. All ASF virus-infected pigs had an increase in VIIIR:Ag beginning at PID 3, with maximum increases at PID 6 to 7. Hog cholera virus infection did not cause consistent changes in levels of VIIIR:Ag. Pigs infected with DR'79 virus did not have increased vascular permeability to Evan's blue dye during infection; however, there was markedly decreased staining of the aorta after pigs became thrombocytopenic.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine serum concentrations of the selected acute-phase proteins (APPs) haptoglobin, serum amyloid A (SAA), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in pigs experimentally inoculated with classical swine fever (CSF) and African swine fever (ASF) viruses. ANIMALS: 8 crossbred (Large White x Landrace) 10-week-old pigs. PROCEDURES: Pigs were allocated to 2 groups (4 pigs/group). One group was inoculated with the CSF virus Alfort 187 strain, whereas the other groupwas inoculated with the ASF virus Spain 70 isolate. Blood samples were collected at various time points. At the end of the study, pigs were euthanized and a complete necropsy was performed, including histologic and immunohistochemical analyses. RESULTS: Serum concentrations of APPs increased in pigs inoculated with CSF and ASF viruses, which suggested an acute-phase response in the course of both diseases. The most noticeable increase in concentration was recorded for SAA in both groups (up to a 300-fold increase for CSF virus and an approx 40-fold increase for ASF virus), followed by CRP and then haptoglobin, which each had only 3- to 4-fold increases. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Serum concentrations of APPs increased significantly in pigs inoculated with CSF and ASF viruses. However, differences were evident in serum concentrations of the proteins evaluated in this study.  相似文献

The preparation of wild-type African swine fever (ASF) virus DNA from small amounts of viremic blood from acutely febrile pigs is outlined. The extracted DNA is viral and not host-cell DNA, because of specific homology with cell culture grown and purified ASF virus and because no DNA bands are obtained with an equal amount of nonviremic pig blood. Thus, in the absence of suitable serologic methods for strain identification, it is now possible to catalogue wild-type isolates by characteristic DNA restriction patterns. The wild-type virus genome contains terminal single-stranded DNA cross-links and has the largest genome size (180 kilobase pairs) reported for the ASF virus. Experimental passage of the virus in contact-infected pigs and buffy coat cultures appears to confirm the stable nature of the ASF genome in the field.  相似文献

Mechanism of thrombocytopenia in African swine fever   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Pigs were inoculated with an African swine fever (ASF) isolate of moderate virulence, and the changes in the number of circulating blood platelets during infection were correlated with the appearance of antiviral antibody and fluctuations in total plasma hemolytic complement concentrations. Thrombocytopenia was detected by postinoculation days (PID) 7 and 8, and antiviral antibody was detected by PID 7, using an indirect immunofluorescence technique. The total hemolytic complement concentration was moderately and transiently decreased from PID 5 to 9, but was consistently low from PID 18 to 26. Pigs inoculated with an ASF virus isolate of greater virulence had a decrease in platelet counts on PID 6 and 7, and the total plasma hemolytic complement levels decreased in all pigs by PID 6 to 7. Antibody to ASF virus was not detected in pigs inoculated with the more virulent isolate. Pigs sensitized to ASF viral antigen with an inactivated-virus vaccine or by previous infection with ASF were challenge exposed. Sensitized pigs became clinically ill and thrombocytopenic by 24 to 72 hours earlier than did inoculated, nonsensitized pigs. Vaccinated pigs inoculated with homologous virus had lower blood virus concentrations than did nonvaccinated pigs. African swine fever virus-sensitized pigs inoculated with heterologous virus had a higher fatality rate than did nonsensitized pigs, and the pigs died peracutely, with only a few gross lesions in evidence. In vitro experiments demonstrated that ASF virus antigen induced platelet aggregation in platelet-rich plasma from recovered, nonviremic pigs. Viral antigen, antibody, or complement was not demonstrable on the surface of platelets from pigs inoculated with ASF virus isolate, by direct immunofluorescence testing.  相似文献

Sera from African swine fever-resistant pigs with infection-inhibitory activity decreased virus replication in infected porcine buffy coat cultures. This same effect was observed even after virus was adsorbed. The infection-inhibition was not reversed by removing the immune serum from the assay cultures. Reduction of African swine fever virus replication by immune sera was demonstrated by fluorescent focus assay on MS cell line cultures. Virus-neutralization tests showed a persistent fraction of non-neutralized virus, which was not demonstrable by infection-inhibition tests. One hypothesis for explaining this difference is proposed.  相似文献

The known distribution of African swine fever (ASF) virus in Africa is reviewed in relation to the distributions of its free-living hosts as are the infection rates of these species in different localities in southern Africa. Mechanisms by which ASF virus is maintained in its sylvatic state and ways in which the infection may enter domestic pig populations are discussed.  相似文献

Platelet and fibrinogen survival times were determined in healthy pigs and in pigs infected with African swine fever (ASF) virus. Cohort labeling with [75Se]selenomethionine was performed. The platelet survival time in healthy pigs was 5.3 +/- 0.7 days, and the fibrinogen survival time was 6.7 +/- 0.8 days. Early deaths and profound thrombocytopenia prevented calculation of accurate platelet and fibrinogen survival times in ASF virus-infected animals. The ASF virus-infected pigs died of extensive hemorrhage and effusions while thrombocytopenic; however, there was normal thrombocytopoiesis during infection, as measured by incorporation of the radionuclide into platelets. There was a slight decrease in plasma fibrinogen concentration when the platelet count decreased. A dysfunctional fibrinogen was present late in the infection.  相似文献

In Chinese Meishan/German Landrace cross-bred swine F2 generation interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was determined directly ex vivo at different time points after survival of a virulent pseudorabies virus (PRV) infection. This reactivity was compared with the reactivity of na?ve PBMC. Significant IFN-gamma production was determined in ELISA and ELISPOT only after in vitro PBMC re-stimulation with PRV and not with the closely related bovine herpesvirus BHV-1. The PRV-specific IFN-gamma secretion from re-stimulated PBMC showed high levels 6 days after infection, before the presence of serum antibodies, and it persisted at a high level over a 3 months period. The response of a group of eight piglets infected intranasally with PRV varied. Only two animals showed the expected typical fever response. PRV specific IFN-gamma production by PBMC clearly indicated that infection had occurred. Early significant IFN-gamma production by primed PBMC turned out to be a reliable and specific ex vivo marker for cellular response against productive PRV infection in swine before antibody formation.  相似文献

African swine fever virus (ASFV) induces a variety of immune responses and clinical forms in domestic pigs. As it is the only member of the Asfarviridae family, ASFV encodes many novel genes not encoded by other virus families. Among these genes, A238L may regulate the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines, controlled mainly by NFkappaB and NFAT pathways. In this study, we inoculated two groups of pigs, one with the ASFV highly virulent E-70 isolate, deleted on A238L gene, and the other group with the parental E-70 isolate. No significant differences were observed in the clinical signs or pathology between both groups. However, the TNF-alpha mRNA expression was strongly enhanced in the PBMC from pigs inoculated with the virus deleted in A238L, reinforcing the role of the A238L gene in the inhibition of the NFkappaB pathway of expression of cytokines. No up-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines was observed in the PBMC of animals inoculated with the E-70 isolate, even though apoptosis and haemorrhages were evident and might be related to the presence of bystander monocyte-macrophages expressing these cytokines. Other studies using ASFV deleted in other genes inoculated in the natural hosts should be performed to gain further insight into the role of these genes in the pathogenesis of ASF.  相似文献

It is poorly understood why vaccines could not be developed for the control and prevention of African swine fever (ASF) virus infection. The aim of our study was to identify genes non-essential for ASF virus replication because there were indications that certain viral gene products, which apparently are non-essential for viral replication, conferred protection from death due to ASF. A cosmid library representing the genome of ASF virus strain France 64 was established and characterized. Then, in order to inactivate viral genes by insertion, the beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) gene was introduced either randomly or at specific locations of selected cloned DNA fragments. These constructions were transfected into cells which had been previously infected with a cell-culture-adapted viral strain in order to allow the generation of recombinant progeny virus. Viable recombinant progeny was identified by at least one of the following means: (1) expression of beta-gal; (2) detection of beta-gal specific DNA by plaque hybridization, and (3) absence of a functional product of the inactivated gene. Presently, we are characterizing a recombinant virus with an insertionally inactivated thymidine kinase gene.  相似文献

To gain further insight into the pathogenesis of African swine fever (ASF), the cytokine expression by macrophages in spleen and lymph nodes were examined. Twenty-one piglets were inoculated with the highly virulent isolate Spain-70 of ASF virus and killed in groups at 1-7 post-inoculation days (pid). An increase in the immunohistochemical detection of proinflammatory monokines in spleen and renal and gastrohepatic lymph nodes is reported, along with an increase in the serum levels of TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta. The expression of these cytokines is detected simultaneously in time and space with the viral protein 73 (vp 73) of the ASF virus detection. Our results demonstrate that mononuclear phagocyte system cell activation results in the release of several cytokines that could induce apoptosis of lymphocytes and haemodynamic changes.  相似文献

非洲猪瘟(African swine fever,ASF)是由非洲猪瘟病毒(African swine fever virus,ASFV)感染猪引起的一种急性、烈性、高度接触性传染病,至今没有研发出安全有效的疫苗,一旦暴发会造成重大经济损失。ASFV在和宿主长期作用过程中,通过抑制干扰素和炎症反应,调节凋亡、自噬及细胞免疫等多种途径逃逸机体免疫反应促进自身复制,但具体的机制仍不完全清楚。ASFV复杂的免疫逃逸机制可能是阻碍有效疫苗研发的关键因素之一。借助生物信息学技术对ASFV的基因组和蛋白质组深入分析,筛选病毒的免疫调控关键基因和保护性抗原表位,将在ASFV免疫逃逸分子机制的研究与疫苗研发中发挥重要作用。本文主要对ASFV感染引起的免疫应答反应及可能的免疫逃逸机制研究进行概述,以期为ASF疫苗研制及综合防控提供思路。  相似文献
