Comparison of ovine herpesvirus 2 genomes isolated from domestic sheep (Ovis aries) and a clinically affected cow (Bos bovis).
The rhadinovirus Ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2) is the causative agent of sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever. OvHV-2 primarily affects ruminants and has a worldwide distribution. In this study, a composite sequence of OvHV-2 genomic DNA isolated from nasal secretions of sheep experiencing virus-shedding episodes was determined and compared with the sequence of OvHV-2 DNA isolated from a l...
متن کاملSheep (Ovis aries) airway epithelial cells support ovine herpesvirus 2 lytic replication in vivo.
Ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2) is the causative agent of sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever (SA-MCF), a frequently fatal disease of some members of the order Artiodactyla. OvHV-2 is carried as a lifelong subclinical infection in sheep (Ovis aries). To date OvHV-2 has not been propagated in vitro and this has hampered studies of viral pathogenesis and efforts to develop a vaccine to protec...
متن کاملExposure to viral and bacterial pathogens among Soay sheep (Ovis aries) of the St Kilda archipelago
We assessed evidence of exposure to viruses and bacteria in an unmanaged and long-isolated population of Soay sheep (Ovis aries) inhabiting Hirta, in the St Kilda archipelago, 65 km west of Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The sheep harbour many metazoan and protozoan parasites but their exposure to viral and bacterial pathogens is unknown. We tested for herpes viral DNA in leucocyt...

متن کاملA phylogenetic comparison of wild sheep (Ovis musimon) and domestic sheep (Ovis aries )represented by BCP synthetic line using mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence analysis
Based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome b (cyt b) gene was partially sequenced and analysed in order to investigate genetic diversity between domestic sheep (Ovis aries) synthetic line BCP n=16 and wild sheep mouflon (Ovis musimon) n=24 from the Sowie Mountains in Poland. All 18 haplotypes were observed which formed two distinct clades in O. aries BCP synthetic line and three clades in mo...
