Isolation of Bovine Ephemeral Fever Virus in Iran

Bovine Ephemeral Fever in Iran: Diagnosis, Isolation and Molecular Characterization

BACKGROUND Bovine ephemeral fever (BEFV) is an arthropod-borne disease of cattle and water buffaloes. BEFV occurs seasonally in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions of Africa, Asia and Australia. It has been known for the past decades in Iran based on clinical signs but lack of an accurate diagnosis has made the real feature of disease obscured. This is the first scientific report on iso...

Production of Monoclonal Antibody against Prokaryotically Expressed G1 Protein of Bovine Ephemeral Fever Virus

Epitope-G1 of bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) G glycoprotein has been genetically and antigenically conserved among various isolates of BEFV and only reacts with anti-BEFV neutralising antibodies. Therefore, it is a candidate antigen for development of the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for serological identification bovine ephemeral fever (BEF)-infected animals. The aim of this ...

Evolution of bovine ephemeral fever virus in the Australian episystem.

Bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) is an arthropod-borne rhabdovirus that causes a debilitating disease of cattle in Africa, Asia, and Australia; however, its global geodynamics are poorly understood. An evolutionary analysis of G gene (envelope glycoprotein) ectodomain sequences of 97 BEFV isolates collected from Australia during 1956 to 2012 revealed that all have a single common ancestor an...

Studies on bovine ephemeral fever. I. Isolation and preliminary characterization of a virus from natural and experimentally produced cases of bovine ephemeral fever.

Ephemeral fever or thn:.e-day-stiffsickness of cattle has been known for nearly a century, and has been described in East Africa (Schweinfurth, 1867), Rhodesia (Bevan, 1907), South Africa (Theiler, 1908), Indonesia (Merkins, 1919 ; Burggraaf, 1932), India (Meadows, 1919), Japan (Futamara, 1922), Palestine (Rosen, 1931), and Australia (Mulhearn, 1937). During recent years world-wide surveys on t...
