Passive Hemagglutination-Inhibition Test for Typing Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus

Lyophilizing Foot-and Mouth Disease Virus at Low Drying Temperature

Inhibition of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Replication by Hydro-alcoholic and Aqueous-Acetic Acid Extracts of Alhagi maurorum

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a major infectious disease of cloven-hoofed animals that is caused by the FMD virus (FMDV). This disease has significantly adverse economic impacts; therefore, rapid control measures are urgently. Traditional ranchers in Iran use Alhagi maurorum Medik. to treat FMD; therefore, we aimed to examine the antiviral activity of methanolic, ethanolic, and aqueous-acetic...

Foot-and-mouth disease virus.

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is an aphthovirus of the family Picornaviridae and the etiological agent of the economically most important animal disease. As a typical picornavirus, FMD virions are nonenveloped particles of icosahedral symmetry and its genome is a single stranded RNA of about 8500 nucleotides and of positive polarity. FMDV RNA is infectious and it replicates via a compleme...

Detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus antibodies. II. Use of fractionated bovine antisera for improving the specificity of a "passive" hemagglutination test.

Because 7S immunoglobulin (Ig) G antibodies of low type specificity were present in mixtures with highly specific 19S IgM antibodies, many bovine antisera to foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) type A(12), strain 119 cross-reacted with type O of FMDV and to some degree with type C in the passive hemagglutination (HA) test. After 19S IgM antibodies were separated by density gradient centrifugati...

Evaluation of an Indirect Elisa for Detection and Typing of Foot and Mouth Disease Virus

EVALUATION OF AN INDIRECT ELISA FOR DETECTION AND TYPING OF FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE VIRUS. An Indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit was used for diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) types O1, A24, C3 which occurred in Rio Grande do Sul State, Southern Brazil during 1984-1994. The samples were randomly selected and tested by ELISA, Complement Fixation Test (CFT) and i...
