AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates adenoviruses linked to fatal haemorrhagic enterocolitis in calves, isolating four viruses from different sources identified as adenovirus type 10.
  • The viruses were confirmed through electron microscopy and cross-neutralisation tests, all showing serological similarities.
  • A survey in Northern Ireland revealed that 55% of cattle over two years old had low levels of neutralizing antibodies against the virus, but only 8% tested positive at a high dilution.

Article Abstract

The isolation, serological classification and growth properties of adenoviruses isolated from fatal cases of haemorrhagic enterocolitis in calves are described. Four viruses, from different submissions, were isolated in cultures of calf testis cells and were identified as adenoviruses by electron microscopy. The four isolates were serologically identical and were classified as bovine adenovirus type 10 in cross-neutralisation tests with other bovine, ovine and porcine adenovirus species. Their growth in the nucleus of infected cells was accompanied by the production of typical adenovirus-associated inclusions. A serological survey to determine the incidence of infection with the virus in cattle in Northern Ireland demonstrated the presence of low levels of neutralising antibodies in 55 per cent of cattle over two years old, although only 8 per cent were positive at a 1/500 dilution of serum.

Bovine adenoviruses (BAdVs) are major contributors to the bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC). A systematic review and meta-analysis were carried out to explore the epidemiology of BAdV across diverse cattle populations using different detection methods. The study showed a higher BAdV prevalence of 0.

Chemical and Heat Treatment for Viral Inactivation in Porcine-Derived Gelatin.

BMC Biotechnol

December 2024

Biomedical Department, R&D Center, Nitta Gelatin Inc, 2-22, Futamata, Yao City, Osaka, 581-0024, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of virus inactivation methods used in the manufacturing process of porcine-derived gelatin, which is commonly used in pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
  • - Researchers tested various model viruses and found that both chemical and heat treatments significantly reduced viral presence, achieving a log reduction value (LRV) greater than 4, indicating effective inactivation.
  • - The findings confirm that implementing these treatment steps in gelatin production enhances safety by minimizing potential viral contamination in biomedical applications.

Bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (BPIV3) is a viral respiratory pathogen that infects cattle and causes significant economic losses. We generated a recombinant adenovirus called rHAd5-F + HN by expressing the fusion (F) and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoprotein of BPIV3 using the human adenovirus serotype 5 (rHAd5). We evaluated its effects on humoral and cellular immune responses in mice (n = 45) and calves (n = 9).

Role of Protein VII in the Production of Infectious Bovine Adenovirus-3 Virion.

Viruses

August 2024

Vaccinology & Immunotherapeutics Program, School of Public Health, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK S7N 5E5, Canada.

Bovine adenovirus (BAdV)-3 genome encodes a 26 kDa core protein designated as protein VII, which localizes to the nucleus/nucleolus. The requirement of a protein VII-complementing cell line for the replication of VII-deleted BAdV-3 suggests that protein VII is required for the production of infectious progeny virions. An analysis of the BAV.
