Equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1): characterisation of a viral strain isolated from equine plasma in Argentina
نویسندگان
چکیده
Strain "LP-3" of equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1), isolated from plasma of horses with clinical signs of rhinopneumonitis, was characterised by cultural, physicochemical, electron microscopic, serological and immunohistochemical studies. This was the first isolation from Argentine horses with respiratory disease. Another strain, SP-1, was isolated in the same laboratory from an aborted fetus in 1980.

Equine herpesvirus 1: characterisation of the first strain isolated in Colombia.
This paper describes the isolation and characterisation of equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) in Colombia. The virus was isolated from a nasal swab and an aborted foetus of a pregnant mare imported from Argentina, with clinical signs of rhinopneumonitis. The new strain was characterised through culture and morphological, serological and immunocytochemical studies. Polymerase chain reaction and DNA re...
متن کاملDiversity of genomic electropherotypes of naturally occurring equine herpesvirus 1 isolates in Argentina.
The genomes of 10 equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) strains isolated in Argentina from 1979 to 1991, and a Japanese HH1 reference strain were compared by restriction endonuclease analysis. Two restriction enzymes, BamHI and BglII, were used and analysis of the electropherotypes did not show significant differences among isolates obtained from horses with different clinical signs. This suggests that ...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of equine herpesvirus 1 isolated from neurological, abortigenic and respiratory disease outbreaks.
Equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) causes respiratory disease, abortion, neonatal death and neurological disease in equines and is endemic in most countries. The viral factors that influence EHV-1 disease severity are poorly understood, and this has hampered vaccine development. However, the N752D substitution in the viral DNA polymerase catalytic subunit has been shown statistically to be associated...

The herpesviruses infections in equides are caused by five different serotypes of viruses, belonging to family Herpesviridae. The goal of this study was to conduct a seroepidemiological investigation of equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) and type 4 (EHV-4) in horses and donkeys raised in two provinces and their villages in northeastern Turkey. A total of 666 samples from 423 horses and 243 donke...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical and molecular detection of equine herpesvirus 1 in Uruguay.
Equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) is a major cause of epidemic abortion, neonatal mortality, respiratory disease and neurological disorders in horses. In South America, the virus has been isolated in Brazil, Argentina and Colombia. In Chile pathological findings from one aborted foetus have been reported, and in Uruguay only serological data about EHV-1 activity have been found. Some pathological fi...
