Oral transmission of transmissible gastroenteritis virus by muscle and lymph node from slaughtered pigs     

DR COOK  HT HILL†  JD TAYLOR 《Australian veterinary journal》1991,68(2):68-70

A study was conducted in the USA to determine whether transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus could be transmitted from carcases of slaughtered pigs. Transmissible gastroenteritis virus was transmitted to 6-day-old piglets by dosing with homogenates of muscle and lymph node collected from 500 clinically normal pigs at the time of slaughter. All piglets in 2 separately housed litters showed clinical signs of TGE with 5 piglets dying within 10 d of oral dosing with homogenates. Transmissible gastroenteritis virus was isolated from 2 of these piglets and all piglets developed TGE antibody. Transmissible gastroenteritis virus was not isolated in tissue culture from muscle and lymph node homogenates, but was isolated from 4 (0.8%) of 500 tonsil samples collected from the same pigs. A survey of 250 serum samples provided an estimate of the prevalence of slaughtered pigs with TGE antibody of 34.8% in the sample population. The results indicate that carcases of some pigs from TGE endemic areas contain viable TGE virus, and that there would be a substantial risk of introducing TGE virus into Australia by the importation of uncooked pig meat from these areas.  相似文献

Comparison of serological tests for antibodies against Newcastle disease virus and infectious bronchitis virus using ImmunoComb solid-phase immunoassay, a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the hemagglutination-inhibition assay

COMBSCORES determined using the ImmunoComb solid-phase immunoassay were compared with hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) titers specific for Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and with mean enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) titers determined using Agritech Systems, Inc., ELISA. COMBSCORES for NDV and IBV increased proportionately in a stepwise manner as HI titers increased. The ImmunoComb solid-phase immunoassay was ablt to produce endpoint titers on sera with NDV-HI titers of 0 through 320 and IBV-HI titers of 0 through 1024 without reaching the maximum S-value. The ImmunoComb showed good correlation with the HI assay and the Agritech ELISA and should prove to be a useful tool for serological profiling, either alone or in conjunction with the HI test or commercial ELISA.  相似文献

The effect of fertility control on the transmission of bovine tuberculosis in wild brushtail possums     

DSL Ramsey  JD Coleman  MC Coleman  P Horton 《New Zealand veterinary journal》2013,61(5):218-223

AIM: To determine the effect of fertility control on the rate of transmission of bovine tuberculosis (Tb), caused by Mycobacterium bovis, in brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula).

METHODS: At two study sites with a history of Tb infection in the resident possum population, a sample of adult male and female possums (n=50), determined by palpation to be Tb-free, was surgically sterilised by gonadectomy. A sample of untreated Tb-free male and female possums (n=54) served as controls. Each study site was trapped every 2 months over a 3-year period, and the Tb status of the individuals in the trial assessed. At the conclusion of the trial, all remaining experimental individuals were killed, necropsied and examined for characteristic lesions typical of Tb. The rate of transmission of Tb infection was estimated using the incidence of tuberculous cases in the experimental animals and comparing it between sites, sex and sterilisation treatment.

RESULTS: Sterilisation by gonadectomy resulted in a reduction in the rate of transmission of Tb in male possums by 53%, but a corresponding increase in sterilised females for reasons that are still unclear. However, this interaction was statistically weak (p=0.10). When the sexes were combined, there was no overall effect of sterilisation on the rate of transmission of Tb (p=0.43). Sterility treatment notwithstanding, there was a highly significant difference in the rate of transmission between the sexes (p=0.01), being almost one order of magnitude higher in untreated males compared with untreated females.

CONCLUSIONS: Although lacking strong statistical support, these results suggest that fertility control that targets endocrine control of fertility may provide some additional benefits for disease control over that achieved by reductions in population density, by reducing the rate of transmission of M. bovis in male possums. However, additional studies are needed to confirm the validity of these results. The large difference in the rate of transmission of M. bovis in untreated males compared with untreated females suggests that transmission of Tb among males may be an important driver of the dynamics of Tb infection in possums.  相似文献
