Phylogenetics and vector competence of a bovine ephemeral fever virus strain from Israel

Isolation of Bovine Ephemeral Fever Virus in Iran

Epidemiological Investigation of Bovine Ephemeral Fever Outbreaks in Israel

Outbreaks of bovine ephemeral fever (BEF) occurred in Israel in 1990, 1999, and 2004. The main patterns of BEF spread were similar in the 1990 and in 1999 epidemics, and the BEF virus was probably carried in vectors transported by air streams across the Rift Valley and the Red Sea. In the 2004 outbreak, the primary focus of the disease was the southern Mediterranean coastal plain and the diseas...

Production of Monoclonal Antibody against Prokaryotically Expressed G1 Protein of Bovine Ephemeral Fever Virus

Epitope-G1 of bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) G glycoprotein has been genetically and antigenically conserved among various isolates of BEFV and only reacts with anti-BEFV neutralising antibodies. Therefore, it is a candidate antigen for development of the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for serological identification bovine ephemeral fever (BEF)-infected animals. The aim of this ...

Expression of G1- epitope of bovine ephemeral fever virus in E. coli : A novel candidate to develop ELISA kit

Bovine ephemeral fever is an acute and arthropod-borne viral disease of cattle and water buffalo which occurs seasonally in most of the world tropical and subtropical regions. The epizootic feature of the disease has been reported in Iran with serious economic consequences. The surface glycoprotein G of bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) is composed of 4 antigenic sites (G1-G4) and plays the m...

Studies on bovine ephemeral fever. I. Isolation and preliminary characterization of a virus from natural and experimentally produced cases of bovine ephemeral fever.

Ephemeral fever or thn:.e-day-stiffsickness of cattle has been known for nearly a century, and has been described in East Africa (Schweinfurth, 1867), Rhodesia (Bevan, 1907), South Africa (Theiler, 1908), Indonesia (Merkins, 1919 ; Burggraaf, 1932), India (Meadows, 1919), Japan (Futamara, 1922), Palestine (Rosen, 1931), and Australia (Mulhearn, 1937). During recent years world-wide surveys on t...
