Statistical properties of thermodynamically predicted RNA secondary structures in viral genomes
By performing a comprehensive study on 1832 segments of 1212 complete genomes of viruses, we show that in viral genomes the hairpin structures of thermodynamically predicted RNA secondary structures are more abundant than expected under a simple random ...

Prevalence of BoHV-1 seropositive and BVD virus positive bulls on Irish dairy farms and associations between bull purchase and herd status [PDF]
peer-reviewedBackground BVD and IBR are contagious viral diseases highly prevalent in Irish cattle. Despite their significant reproductive and economic impact very little is known about the BVD and IBR status of stock bulls (a bull used ...

A Brazilian glycoprotein E-negative bovine herpesvirus type 1.2a (BHV-1.2a) mutant is attenuated for cattle and induces protection against wild-type virus challenge [PDF]
The authors previously reported the construction of a glycoprotein E-deleted (gE-) mutant of bovine herpesvirus type 1.2a (BHV-1.2a). This mutant, 265gE-, was designed as a vaccinal strain for differential vaccines, allowing the distinction between ...

Detection of a novel gammaherpesvirus (genus Rhadinovirus) in wild muntjac deer in Northern Ireland [PDF]
This study represents the initial part of an investigation into the potential for non-native, wild, free-living muntjac deer (Muntiacus reevesi) to carry viruses that could be a threat to livestock.

Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 and Bovine Herpesvirus 1 Latency [PDF]
SUMMARYPrimary infection by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) can cause clinical symptoms in the peripheral and central nervous system, upper respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal tract. Recurrent ocular shedding leads to corneal scarring that can progress to vision loss.

The strong enhancer element in the immediate early region of the human cytomegalovirus genome [PDF]
The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a member of the herpesvirus group, was found to possess a strong transcription enhancer in the immediate early gene region. Co-transfection of enhancerless SV40 DNA with randomly fragmented HCMV DNA yielded two SV40-

Rapid, sensitive, and visible RPA-LFD assay for BoHV-1 and BoHV-5
Bovine herpesvirus (BoHV) infection poses a significant threat to the healthy development of the cattle industry. BoHV-1 primarily causes infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, while BoHV-5 is associated with bovine necrotic meningoencephalitis.

Comparison of commercial ELISA kit with serum neutralization (SN) in diagnosis of BHV-1 infections in water buffalo (Buballous buballis) [PDF]
In order to compare commercial ELISA kit with serum neutralization (SN) in diagnosis of BHV-1 infection, blood samples were taken from 150 (100 male, 50 female) slaughtered water buffalo (Buballous buballis) at Ahvaz abattoir.

Effect of Bovine 1 Interferon on Bovine Herpesvirus Type 1-induced Respiratory Disease
Treatment of calves with bovine recombinant alpha 1 interferon prior to challenge with bovine herpesvirus type 1 increased the animals' ability to withstand a subsequent Pasteurella haemolytica challenge. The reduction in viral-bacterial synergy observed following interferon treatment did not appear to be due to a direct effect of the interferon on ...
