Persistent infection of rabbits with bovine immunodeficiency-like virus.
Chronic infection of rabbits was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of bovine immunodeficiency-like virus (BIV)-infected cells. Ten BIV-infected animals were monitored serologically for up to 2 years. Results of serologic and virus rescue assays indicated that all animals became infected and demonstrated a rapid and sustained BIV-specific humoral response. BIV was rescued by cocultiv...
متن کاملPersistent bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection in cattle herds
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a significant pathogen associated with gastrointestinal, respiratory, and reproductive diseases of cattle worldwide. It causes continuous economic losses to the cattle industry primarily due to decreased reproductive performance. The ability of virus to cross the placenta during early pregnancy can result in the birth of persistently infected (PI) calves. P...
متن کاملPersistent infection of rabbits with bovine leukemia virus associated with development of immune dysfunction.
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection of rabbits provides a safe and relatively inexpensive in vivo mammalian system for the study of the mechanisms controlling expression of a unique group of lymphotropic retroviruses. This group of viruses, which includes C-type human T-lymphotropic virus types I and II and lentiviruslike human immunodeficiency virus type 1, possesses genes coding for "trans-...
متن کاملThe first study of bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) and brucellosis co-infection in west-central Iran
Background: BIV is a well-known bovine immunosuppressive cause, but its pathogenesis has not been well characterized. In recent years, it has been hypothesized that infection with BIV might predispose cattle to be infected by other agents. OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to investigate of BIV and Brucella co-infection so that in the future more studies will be done on the issue of predispos...
متن کاملImmunomodulative effects of bovine immunodeficiency-like virus (BIV)-infection and mixed infection of BIV and bovine leukemia virus on sheep.
Experimental bovine immunodeficiency-like virus (BIV)-infection and mixed infection of BIV and bovine leukemia virus (BLV) were performed on sheep. BIV proviral DNA and anti-BIV antibodies were persistently detected in all BIV-inoculated sheep. A slight increase in lymphocyte counts was observed in BIV-infected sheep, but the percentages of CD4+ and CD8+ cells in sheep peripheral blood mononucl...
