Japanece Encephalitis in Domestic Animals

Serological survey of domestic animals for tick-borne encephalitis and Bhanja viruses in northeastern Hungary.

Blood sera collected from 400 domestic animals (260 cattle, 100 Merino sheep, and 40 Hutzul horses) in northeastern Hungary in 2005 were examined for antibodies against two tick-borne viruses, tick-borne encephalitis flavivirus (TBEV) and Bhanja bunyavirus (BHAV). Using ELISA as screening test and plaque-reduction neutralization as confirmatory test, seropositivity to TBEV was found to be 26.5%...

Alphavirus serosurvey in domestic herbivores in Pará State, Brazilian Amazon Soropesquisa de Alphavirus em herbívoros domésticos no Estado do Pará, Amazônia Brasileira Estudio serológico de Alphavirus en herbívoros domésticos en el Estado de Pará, Amazonía Brasileña

Pará State comprises 26% of Brazilian Amazon Region where a large diversity of arboviruses has been described. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and distribution of hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) that detect antibodies against four units to Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV), Western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV), Mayaro virus (MAYV) and Mucambo virus (MUCV), a subtype of the...

Comparative Pathological Investigation on Encephalitis of Domestic Animals : Especially on the Eosinophilic Encephalitis of Swine and Distemper Encephalitis I

Equine Herpesvirus 9 (EHV-9) Induced Encephalitis in Nonhuman Primates

Equine Herpesvirus 9 (EHV-9) is a new member of the equine herpesviruses which was isolated from Thomson’s gazelles (Gazella thomsoni) that died of fulminant encephalitis in a Japanese zoo (Fukushi et al., 1997; Yanai et al., 1998). Previously, experimental infections of EHV-9 were conducted in various species of animals other than primates to clarify the infectivity and virulence of this virus...

Sero-survey on Aino, Akabane, Chuzan, bovine ephemeral fever and Japanese encephalitis virus of cattle and swine in Korea

Vector-borne arboviruses produce mild to severe symptoms in domestic animals. Bovine ephemeral fever (BEF), Akabane, Aino, and Chuzan virus have been primarily attributed to reproductive disorders or febrile diseases in cattle, and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is mainly associated with reproductive failures in swine. We investigated antibody titers from domestic swine against four bovine a...
