Detection of caprine herpesvirus 1 in sacral ganglia of latently infected goats by PCR.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study of the latency of caprine herpesvirus 1 (CpHV.1) was carried out with four latently infected goats. Three goats were treated with dexamethasone and euthanized after 4 and 6 days. PCR and virus isolation allowed us to detect CpHV.1 only in the third and fourth sacral ganglia of the two animals euthanized 6 days after the start of treatment.

Cidofovir does not prevent caprine herpesvirus type-1 neural latency in goats.
BACKGROUND Cidofovir (CDV) is an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate that exhibits a potent antiviral activity against several DNA viruses. In previous studies, CDV has been shown to significantly reduce the clinical severity and the viral shedding in primary caprine herpesvirus type-1 (CpHV-1) infection in goats. CpHV-1 is an alpha-herpesvirus showing many biological similarities with human herpesv...
متن کاملLocalization of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 DNA in Latently Infected BALB/c Mice Neurons Using in situ Polymerase Chain Reaction
Background: Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) establishes a lifelong latent infection in neurons following primary infection. The existence of latent HSV-1 DNA in the trigeminal ganglia of infected BALB/c mice was examined using a direct in situ PCR technique, based on Digoxigenin-11-dUTP detection system with anti-digoxigenin-peroxidase and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) substrate. Methods: Eig...
متن کاملA Caprine Herpesvirus 1 Vaccine Adjuvanted with MF59™ Protects against Vaginal Infection and Interferes with the Establishment of Latency in Goats
The immunogenicity and the efficacy of a beta-propiolactone-inactivated caprine herpesvirus 1 (CpHV-1) vaccine adjuvanted with MF59™ were tested in goats. Following two subcutaneous immunizations, goats developed high titers of CpHV-1-specific serum and vaginal IgG and high serum virus neutralization (VN) titers. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulated in vitro with inactivated CpH...
متن کاملStudies on hemagglutination activity of caprine herpesvirus-1
The aim of this study was to investigate the hemagglutination properties of caprine herpesvirus-1(CpHV-1) and their application for CpHV-1 antigen detection and evaluation of the dynamics of postinfectious/vaccine antibody production. CpHV-1 hemagglutination activity was proved only with mouseerythrocytes, PBS and saline solutions at 4°C and 22°C. In vaccinated animals, goats and bucks withresp...

Herpesvirus infections of domestic ruminants are about economic losses due to respiratory and reproductive problems. Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) is a major pathogen of bovines world-wide and causes different clinical manifestations including infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IPV) / balanopostitis (IPB) and meningoencephalitis [3]. These conditions are...
