Sensitivity of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus to ether.

The Isolation and Identification of Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis Virus in Iran

Detection of antibody against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis glycoprotein gE in aborted cattle in Mashhad, Iran

Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis is a highly contagious disease caused by the bovine herpes virus-1 (BoHV-1), resulting in significant losses to livestock around the world. BoHV-1 is a major pathogen of cattle, primarily associated with respiratory/genital tract infections and abortion. In the present study, we determined the presence of antibodies in 120 serum samples of cattle with the histo...

Cell culture studies on the antiviral activity of ether derivatives of 5-hydroxymethyldeoxyuridine.

The antiviral activity of several ether derivatives of 5-hydroxymethyldeoxyuridine against the herpesvirus of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis was determined in monolayer cultures of secondary bovine fetal kidney cells. 5-Methoxy-methyldeoxyuridine (OCH(3)UdR) was found to be markedly inhibitory against this virus. Pretreatment of the cells with OCH(3)UdR, simultaneous addition of OCH(3)UdR wi...

Seroepidemological Survey for Antibodies against Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis and Bovine Herpes 4 Viruses among Cattle in Different Provinces of Iran.

An adventitious viral contaminant in commercially supplied A549 cells: identification of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus and its impact on diagnosis of infection in clinical specimens.

The isolation and identification of an adventitious viral agent, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus, in one lot of A549 cells from a commercial supplier is described in this report. The presence of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus in A549 cells was unexpected and has caused problems in the diagnosis of infections in clinical specimens in three laboratories.
