Persistent infection with bovine herpesvirus-1: a rabbit model
نویسنده
چکیده
Persistent infection with bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) was established in all rabbits following conjunctival inoculation of virus. Spontaneous reactivations of BHV-1 with and without the appearance of recurrent ocular lesions were observed in persistently infected rabbits. BHV-1 was reactivated predictably and shed from all persistently infected rabbits following the administration of dexamethasone. During all reactivations, BHV-1 isolation was restricted to the inoculated eye.

متن کاملBovine herpesvirus type 1 induces cell death by a cell-type-dependent fashion.
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1), a member of the alpha-herpesvirinae sub-family, causes significant losses to the cattle industry. BHV-1 establishes latency in trigeminal ganglionic sensory neurons, but periodically reactivates from latency. Previous studies suggested that infection with BHV-1-induced novel morphological changes in rabbit skin (RS) cells versus bovine kidney cells (MDBK). Conseque...

متن کاملThe Us9 gene of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) effectively complements a Us9-null strain of BHV-5 for anterograde transport, neurovirulence, and neuroinvasiveness in a rabbit model.
The alphaherpesvirus envelope protein Us9 is a type II viral membrane protein that is required for anterograde spread of bovine herpesvirus 5 (BHV-5) infection from the olfactory receptor neurons to the brain. In a rabbit seizure model, Us9-deleted BHV-5 failed to invade the central nervous system (CNS) following intranasal infection. However, when injected directly into the olfactory bulb, ret...
