چکیده
28 Antigenic group 2 coronavirus was detected in a fecal sample of an adult alpaca by RT-PCR. The 29 presence of alpaca coronavirus (ApCoV) in the small intestine was demonstrated by immune30 histochemistry using an anti-nucleocapsid monoclonal antibody that reacts with group 2 31 coronaviruses. Other common causes of diarrhea in adult camelids were not detected. We conclude 32 that nutritional stress may have predisposed the alpaca to severe ApCoV infection. 33

Detection of an antigenic group 2 coronavirus in an adult alpaca with enteritis.
Antigenic group 2 coronavirus was detected in a fecal sample of an adult alpaca by reverse transcription-PCR. The presence of alpaca coronavirus (ApCoV) in the small intestine was demonstrated by immune histochemistry with an antinucleocapsid monoclonal antibody that reacts with group 2 coronaviruses. Other common causes of diarrhea in adult camelids were not detected. We conclude that nutritio...
متن کاملMultiplex real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction for the detection of three viruses associated with poult enteritis complex: turkey astrovirus, turkey coronavirus, and turkey reovirus.
Poult enteritis complex (PEC) is an economically important disease of young turkeys characterized by diarrhea, poor weight gain, and, in some cases, high mortality. Although PEC is considered to be a polymicrobial disease, numerous viruses, including turkey coronavirus (TCV), turkey astrovirus type 2 (TAstV-2), and avian reoviruses (ARVs), have been associated with PEC-like disease. Real-time r...
متن کاملAntigenic detection of Canine Coronavirus in diarrheic dogs in Ahvaz
Abstract: The Purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of Canine Coronavirus (CCV) in diarrheic dogs of Ahvaz district. Fecal samples were collected from 58 diarrheic dogs between 2005 and 2006. Dogs were grouped by age (less than and above 6 months), sex, breed, geographical location (urban and rural) and quality of diarrhea (hemorrhagic and non-hemorrhagic) to determine whether th...
متن کاملCharacterization of a coronavirus isolated from a diarrheic foal.
A coronavirus was isolated from feces of a diarrheic foal and serially propagated in human rectal adenocarcinoma (HRT-18) cells. Antigenic and genomic characterizations of the virus (isolate NC99) were based on serological comparison with other avian and mammalian coronaviruses and sequence analysis of the nucleocapsid (N) protein gene. Indirect fluorescent-antibody assay procedures and virus n...
متن کاملViral Agents Associated with Poult Enteritis in Croatian Commercial Turkey Flocks
From 2003 to 2006, samples of intestinal content and spleens from 10-day-old to 6-week-old fattening turkeys showing clinical signs of enteritis were analyzed by specific PCR and RT-PCRs for detection of haemorrhagic enteritis virus (HEV), avian reovirus (ARV), turkey astrovirus-2 (TastV-2), and turkey coronavirus (TCV). A total of 23 flocks from 6 farms were included in the study. Specific seq...
