چکیده مقاله:

  Bluetongue is an infectious disease that primarily affects sheep. But due to serious socioeconomic consequence of it outbreaks on the international trade it has been included in the OIE notifiable diseases (list A). During 2007-8, total number of 130 blood samples gathered from suspected sheep to bluetongue disease in seropositive region including Khuzestan, Kurdistan, Fars, Ilam and Qum provinces. Blue tongue viruses were diagnosed in some animals by RT-PCR and nested PCR, by targeting S7 segment. This genome segment was sequenced and analyzed in 11 samples as a conserved gene in BTV serogroup. The phylogenetic evaluation showed that there were two distinct clusters. One cluster was significantly near to East BTV strains from China and India and also was classified with BTV9/16 from Turkey. The second group was very similar to West BTV strains from US, Africa and Europe. This cluster was categorized with BTV4 from Turkey.

Phylogenetic relationships of bluetongue viruses based on gene S7.

Previous phylogenetic analyses based on bluetongue virus (BTV) gene segment L3, which encodes the inner core protein, VP3, indicated a geographical distribution of different genotypes. The inner core protein, VP7, of BTV has been identified as a viral attachment protein for insect cell infection. Because the inner core proteins are involved with infectivity of insect cells, we hypothesized that...

Seroprevalence and S7 gene characterization of bluetongue virus in the west of Iran

Aim: The objective of this study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence and S7 gene characterization of bluetongue virus (BTV) of sheep in the West of Iran, during 2007-2008. Materials and Methods: A total 372 sheep blood samples were collected from known seropositive regions in the West of Iran. Anti-BTV antibodies were detected in the serum samples by group specific, C-ELISA. Extractio...
