Isolation of Bovine Ephemeral Fever Virus in Iran

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 ...

Epidemiology and control of bovine ephemeral fever

Bovine ephemeral fever (or 3-day sickness) is an acute febrile illness of cattle and water buffaloes. Caused by an arthropod-borne rhabdovirus, bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV), the disease occurs seasonally over a vast expanse of the globe encompassing much of Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. Although mortality rates are typically low, infection prevalence and morbidity rates du...

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...
