Malignant Catarrhal Fever: Inching Toward Understanding

Annual Review of Animal Biosciences, 2014
Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is an often lethal infection of many species in the order Artiodactyla. It is caused by members of the MCF virus group within Gammaherpesvirinae. MCF is a worldwide problem and has a significant economic impact on highly disease-susceptible hosts, such as cattle, bison, and deer.

Antibodies to malignant catarrhal fever virus in cattle with non-wildebeest-associated malignant catarrhal fever

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1983
Sera from 48 cattle with non-wildebeest-associated malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) were assayed for antibodies to wildebeest-associated MCF virus. Significant titres were found in 38 sera and these reactions appeared to be specific. Some cases of non-wildebeest-associated MCF may be caused by an agent antigenically related to MCFV.

Transmission studies with bovine malignant catarrhal fever

Veterinary Record, 1978
The intravenous administration of whole blood from a pathologically confirmed field case of bovine malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) resulted in the appearance of the disease in three of five experimental calves 18 to 28 days later. Infection was maintained by serial calf transmissions, and produced clinical and pathological changes identical to those of

Transmission of malignant catarrhal fever to rabbits

Veterinary Record, 1980
A farmed red deer in contact with a flock of lambing ewes developed malignant catarrhal fever (MCF). Tissues from this deer were homogenised and inoculated into two rabbits one of which developed a febrile response on the 11th day. This rabbit was killed on the following day after developing conjunctivitis and hyperaemia of the nostrils.

Ocular Lesions of Bovine Malignant Catarrhal Fever

Veterinary Pathology, 1985
The ocular lesions of bovine malignant catarrhal fever were characterized in 15 naturally occurring and eight experimentally induced cases of the disease. Consistent findings included: lymphocytic vasculitis of retinal, scleral, posterior ciliary, and uveal vessels; uveitis, especially involving ciliary processes, ciliary body, and iris; and keratitis ...

An epizootic of malignant catarrhal fever

New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 1975
Abstract Extract Bovine malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) has been reported in New Zealand (MacKinnon and Le Souef, 1956) and in other parts of the world (Blood and Henderson, 1968). The disease has also been reported in deer in Europe (Huck et al., 1961), North America (Pierson et al., 1974) and has been seen in New Zealand (G. Shirley, pers.

Malignant catarrhal fever of bovines

New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 1956
Abstract Extract When the suspected existence of this disease in New Zealand was first notified in 1955, the author prepared a review of all available literature (in the English language) at Wallaceville Animal Research Station, in order to help confirm the diagnosis of the disease. A summary of that review is presented here.
