Efficacy of equine influenza vaccines for protection against A/Equine/Jilin/89 (H3N8) — A new equine influenza virus

Vaccine, 1993
A new H3N8 equine influenza virus [A/Equine/Jilin/1/89 (Eq/Jilin)] appeared in Northeastern China in 1989 and caused high mortality in horses; the available evidence indicates that it has not yet spread outside this region of the world. Serological analysis with postinfection ferret sera in haemagglutination inhibition (HI) tests confirmed that Eq ...

Equine Influenza Virus

Clinical Techniques in Equine Practice, 2006
Equine influenza virus is a highly contagious agent that is capable of causing explosive outbreaks of respiratory disease among susceptible horse populations. The virus infects the mucosal cells of the upper and lower respiratory tract, and induces respiratory disease characterized by a harsh dry cough and fever.

Equine Influenza Virus

2020
Equine influenza (EI), commonly known as ‘horse flu,’ is a major respiratory disease of equines caused by equine influenza virus (EIV) and has huge economic implications. The disease is characterised by pyrexia, anorexia, depression, dyspnoea, dry hacking cough and serous nasal discharge many a times followed by secondary bacterial pneumonia. Morbidity

Plaque assay of equine influenza virus

Veterinary Microbiology, 1984
ESK cells, a stable cell line derived from a swine embryo kidney, were found to be a good medium for plaque formation of the Prague and Miami strains of equine influenza virus. Factors influencing the plaque formation were investigated and a plaque assay for these viruses was worked out. The method is not only simple enough for routine use, but also is

Transmission of Equine Influenza Virus to Dogs

Science, 2005
Molecular and antigenic analyses of three influenza viruses isolated from outbreaks of severe respiratory disease in racing greyhounds revealed that they are closely related to H3N8 equine influenza virus. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the canine influenza virus genomes form a monophyletic group, consistent with a single interspecies virus ...

Equine influenza — A segment in influenza virus ecology

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 1980
Abstract Influenza viruses Heq1 Neq1 and Heq2 Neq2 are the only viruses responsible for equine influenza. Properties of both subtypes Heq1 Neq1 and Heq2 Neq2 are studied as well as their experimental pathogenecity and immune response in different species such as mouse, piglet and primates. Their antigenetic aspect and ecology are studied.

Production of the Influenza Syndrome in Man with Equine Influenza Virus

Nature, 1969
AN antigenic relationship has been established between A/equi-2 influenza virus isolated in 1963 and the 1968 Hong Kong variant of human type A2 influenza virus1. This relationship suggests that the Hong Kong variant was derived from the equine virus.

RNA Extraction from Equine Samples for Equine Influenza Virus

2014
The primary goals of this chapter are to discuss common viral RNA isolation and purification methods that are routinely used by various diagnostic laboratories and to highlight the advantages and drawbacks of each method and to identify the most suitable and reliable method to increase the sensitivity and specificity of RT-PCR assays for the detection ...

Surveillance for immunity against equine influenza virus infections

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 1981
Abstract Market vaccines against equine influenza were developed some 15 years ago on the basis of the two prototype strains A/equine-1/Prague 56 and A/equine-2/Miami 63. Their basic composition has not been altered up to the present day. We and other workers have reported on certain antigenic changes observed on field isolates.
