Malignant catarrhal fever virus identified in free-ranging musk ox (Ovibos moschatus) in Norway.
To study the epizootiology of malignant catarrhal fever viruses (MCFV), serum and spleen samples collected in 2004-2011 from a free-ranging musk ox (Ovibos moschatus) population in Dovrefjell, Norway, were examined. Sera were tested for antibodies against MCFV by competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and spleen samples were examined by a consensus polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for her...
متن کاملAncient DNA analyses exclude humans as the driving force behind late Pleistocene musk ox (Ovibos moschatus) population dynamics.
The causes of the late Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions are poorly understood. Different lines of evidence point to climate change, the arrival of humans, or a combination of these events as the trigger. Although many species went extinct, others, such as caribou and bison, survived to the present. The musk ox has an intermediate story: relatively abundant during the Pleistocene, it is now re...
متن کاملStudies on Cultural Characteristics of Contagious Ecthyma (orf) Virus
Ecthyma contagiosum is a viral disease of sheep and goats, which is caused by Parapoxvirus. Primary cell cultures of lamb testis, lamb kidney, rabbit kidney and permanent cell lines: foetal sheep kidney (FSK), sheep foetal thymus (SFT), sheep foetal muscle (SFM), sheep plexus choroideus (SPC), bovine trachea (BTR), embryonic bovine trachea (EBTR), Madin Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) and baby hamst...
متن کاملMolecular identification and investigations of contagious ecthyma (Orf virus) in small ruminants, North west Ethiopia
BACKGROUND Orf virus, the prototype of parapoxvirus, is the main causative agent of contagious ecthyma. Little is known about the status of the disease in Ethiopia and this study was aimed at determining its status using PCR as a confirmatory tool. METHODS a total of 400 randomly selected sheep and goat was screened for the identification of the virus using amplification of B2L gene and trans...
متن کاملOrf: contagious pustular dermatitis.
Orf is a common viral infection in sheep. It spreads to humans by direct contact. It is self-limiting, treatment having no beneficial effect. Misdiagnosis by those unfamiliar with its characteristic features is common, and may result in unnecessary treatment with antibiotics or surgery. We present a series of five cases of Orf in children of farmers in the west of Ireland, seen over a 10 year p...
