Identification and genetic characterisation of equine infectious anaemia virus in western Balkans

Characterisation of Equine Infectious Anaemia Virus (EIAV) strains

Equine Infectious Anaemia

Equine infectious anaemia (EIA) is a persistent viral infection of equids. The causative agent, EIA virus (EIAV) is a lentivirus in the family Retroviridae, subfamily Orthoretrovirinae. Other members of the genus Lentivirus include: bovine immunodeficiency virus; caprine arthritis encephalitis virus; feline immunodeficiency virus; human immunodeficiency virus 1; human immunodeficiency virus 2; ...

Serological survey on the presence and distribution of equine infectious anaemia in Iran

Cloning and identification of the infectious salmon anaemia virus haemagglutinin.

Infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) is an orthomyxo-like virus that causes serious disease in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Like the orthomyxoviruses, ISAV has been shown to possess haemagglutinin (HA) activity. This study presents the cloning, expression and identification of the ISAV HA gene, which was isolated from a cDNA library by immunoscreening. The HA gene contained an ISAV-specific...

Experimental studies of pathogenecity of Chicken Infectious Anaemia Virus (3 isolates) in Iran

To evaluate pathogenicity of 3 Chicken Anemia Virus isolates-CV1, CV2 and CV3 respectively - the current experiment carried out. After tittering of the viruses, 30 one day old SPF chicks were grouped and intramuscularly inoculated with each isolate in a separate group. Two other groups as positive and control groups were inoculate with a live vaccine virus and normal saline respectively. During...
