1. Evidence for virus closely related to avian myeloblastosis-associated virus type 1 in a commercial stock of chickens

Author:
Spencer, J. Lloyd; Benkel, Bernhard; Chan, Maria; Nadin-davis, Susan
Source:
Avian pathology 2003 v.32 no.4 pp. 383-390
ISSN:
0307-9457
Subject:
Avian leukosis virus; chickens; genes; nucleotides; phylogeny; polymerase chain reaction; sequence analysis; viruses
Abstract:
... A two-round nested polymerase chain reaction assay detected Rous associated virus-1 (RAV-1), a prototype laboratory strain of avian leukosis virus of subgroup A (ALV-A). Surprisingly, the test failed to detect three field isolates of ALV-A but did detect virus in one commercial stock of chickens (stock F). The sequence analysis of a core of 290 nucleotides of the env gene gave evidence that the vi ...

Abstract:
... Experimental infection studies were carried out on the ability of three Clostridium perfringens type A rifampicin-resistant strains to colonize the intestinal tract of broiler chickens kept in isolators from 1-day-old. Various doses of C. perfringens were given orally at 22 days, 9 days or at 1 day old. At 22 days none of the strains, given in doses of approximately 10(10) colony-forming units, ca ...

chickens; neutralization; Newcastle disease; blood serum; serotypes; phylogeny; amino acid sequences; Avian orthoavulavirus 1; viruses; genes; nucleotide sequences; death; Taiwan
Abstract:
... Portions of the haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and fusion protein (F) genes of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolated from recent outbreaks in Taiwan were amplified and sequenced. These isolates were velogenic, based on the amino acid sequences of the F protein cleavage site and the mean death time in chicken embryos. All the recent viruses contained the amino acid sequences (112)RRQKR(116) for ...

Virus replication was monitored by cytopathic effect observation, electron microscopy, indirect immunofluorescence, and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). At 96 h post-infection (p.i.), the cytopathic effect ...

Abstract:
... An attenuated chicken anaemia virus (CAV) isolate, cloned isolate 10, which was molecularly cloned from the Cuxhaven-1 CAV after 173 cell-culture passages, was shown previously to recover pathogenicity following 10 passages in young chicks. The consensus nucleotide sequence of the ‘revertant’ (Rev) virus, present as a tissue homogenate, differed from cloned isolate 10 at a single nucleotide residu ...

DNA; Escherichia coli; Mardivirus; Marek disease; bacterial artificial chromosomes; disease control; genes; microbial genetics; mutagenesis; turkeys; vaccines; viruses
Abstract:
... Despite the fact that the causative agent of Marek's disease was described more than 30 years ago, and that subsequently many classical biological studies have been carried out on the Marek's disease virus (MDV), detailed analysis of its gene functions has been hampered by lack of suitable research tools. Information on the primary structure of MDV-1 and its serologically related viruses, MDV-2 an ...

Abstract:
... Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was used to generate sequence data for 91 Australian Newcastle disease viruses (NDV) isolated from 1932 to 2000 covering the cleavage site of the fusion (F) protein and the C-terminus of the haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein. Comparison of sequences at these two sites indicates distinct evolutionary relationships between these viruses. Typica ...

Abstract:
... In the winter of 2001, four Ringed kingfishers (Megaceryle torquata torquata) were imported from Iquitos, Peru for the zoological garden Faunia in Madrid. Two individuals were necropsied, and infections by the digenean trematode Pulchrosoma pulchrosoma were discovered inside granulomas located in the lung, trachea and coelomic cavity. The life cycle of this trematode species is unknown. In one cas ...

Abstract:
... Two strains of avian reovirus were tested for their ability to survive on materials common to most poultry houses. The viruses survived longest and for at least 10 days on feathers, wood shavings and chicken feed, and for the shortest periods on wood (2 days), paper and cotton (4 days). There were some differences in survivability between the two strains. In most instances, the presence of faecal ...

Abstract:
... Recent epidemics of highly contagious animal diseases included in list A of the Office International des Épizooties, such as foot-and-mouth disease, classical swine fever and avian influenza (AI), have led to the implementation of stamping-out policies resulting in the depopulation of millions of animals. The enforcement of a control strategy based on culling animals that are infected, suspected o ...
