An Epizootic Disease of Ferrets Caused by a Filterable Virus

Identification and Typing of Horse-Sickness Virus Strains Isolated in the Recent Epizootic of the Disease in Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria

A Virus-induced Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease of the Virginia White-tailed Deer (odocoileus Virginianus)

A circumscribed natural outbreak of a highly fatal disease of deer, which we have designated epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD), has been studied. The disease has proven readily transmissible in deer but not in other experimental or domestic animals tested, nor in embryonating eggs or deer kidney cell cultures. The causative agent is a virus which is readily filterable and is capable of storag...

Genetic Characterization of Coronaviruses from Domestic Ferrets, Japan

We detected ferret coronaviruses in 44 (55.7%) of 79 pet ferrets tested in Japan and classified the viruses into 2 genotypes on the basis of genotype-specific PCR. Our results show that 2 ferret coronaviruses that cause feline infectious peritonitis-like disease and epizootic catarrhal enteritis are enzootic among ferrets in Japan.

Immunogenicity of commercial, formaldehyde and binary ethylenimine inactivated Newcastle disease virus vaccines in specific pathogen free chickens

Newcastle disease (ND) is one of the most important diseases that affect birds; the epizootic nature of the disease has caused severe economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. In this experiment ND virus (NDV) was inactivated by two different chemicals binary ethylenimine (BEI) and formaldehyde. Formaldehyde was used at 0.1%, while BEI was used at concentrations of 1 to 4 mM. NDV inact...

Diseases Caused by the Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease Virus Serogroup Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease, Hemorrhagic Disease, Ibaraki Disease, Bovine Influenza, Bovine Epizootic Fever, Bluetongue-like Disease

Epizootic hemorrhagic disease is an important disease of cervids, especially white-tailed deer. The causative virus is widespread among wild cervids in North America, where white-tailed deer are endemic, and periodically causes serious epidemics in wild and/or captive populations. Sporadic clinical cases and outbreaks have also been reported in other cervids, cattle, bison, yaks and other anima...
