Identification of ovine herpesvirus-2 infection in sheep

Archives of Virology, 1997
A polymerase chain reaction test for the detection of ovine herpesvirus-2 (OHV-2) DNA was used to identify sites of OHV-2 infection in peri-natal lambs and in adult sheep. OHV-2 was detected in the nasal secretions from all lambs within a period of two months following birth.

Characterization of ovine herpesvirus 2-induced malignant catarrhal fever in rabbits [PDF]

Veterinary Microbiology, 2011
Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is a frequently fatal lymphoproliferative disease syndrome primarily of ruminant species, caused by gammaherpesviruses in the genus Macavirus. Ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2), carried by sheep, causes sheep-associated MCF worldwide, while Alcelaphine herpesvirus 1 (AlHV-1), carried by wildebeest, causes wildebeest ...

Molecular characterisation of ovine herpesvirus type 2 (OvHV-2) in Turkey

Acta Veterinaria Hungarica, 2012
In this study, the physical examination of 22 cattle revealed clinical signs of malignant catarrhal fever (MCF). Peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) samples of the 22 cattle, and nasal (n = 7) and conjunctival (n = 9) swab samples from 16 sheep from two different farms, were taken for laboratory examination.

Molecular epidemiology of ovine herpesvirus type 2 infection in Kashmir, India

Veterinary Record, 2006
The aims of this investigation were to determine the prevalence of ovine herpesvirus type 2 ( ovhv‐2 ) (the causative agent of malignant catarrhal fever) infection in cattle, the carrier status of sheep and goats, and to define the pattern of acquisition of ovhv‐2

Malignant catarrhal fever caused by ovine herpesvirus‐2 in pigs in Norway

Veterinary Record, 1998
This paper describes the first cases of malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) in pigs in which the diagnosis was verified aetiologically by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA analysis and by the demonstration of antibodies. Three pigs on two separate premises showed clinical signs, gross pathological and histopathological lesions which were in many ...

Detection of ovine herpesvirus 2 in Kenyan sheep by polymerase chain reaction

Veterinary Record, 1997
Evidence of vertical transmission of Neospora species infection in dairy cattle NEOSPOROSIS is an important cause of abortion in dairy cattle. This study investigated whether Neospora species could be trans- mitted by an infected pregnant animal to its offspring during ges- tation.

Development of an in vivo system to measure antibody-blocking of ovine herpesvirus 2 entry

Journal of Virological Methods, 2013
Ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2), the causative agent of sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever (SA-MCF), has never been propagated in vitro. Thus, an alternative to in vitro virus neutralization is needed to assess neutralizing antibody activity to OvHV-2 in SA-MCF vaccine development.

Ovine herpesvirus type 2 infection in captive bison in India

Veterinary Record, 2012
MALIGNANT catarrhal fever (MCF) is a fatal disease of wild and domestic ruminants, with severe and widespread inflammatory and degenerative changes in affected animals. It typically has a short, dramatic clinical course, characterised primarily by high fever, severe depression, swollen lymph nodes, salivation, diarrhoea, dermatitis, neurologic ...

Experimental infection of rabbits with ovine herpesvirus 2 from sheep nasal secretions

Veterinary Microbiology, 2008
Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is a generally fatal disease that primarily occurs in ruminants and is caused by a group of gammaherpesviruses. Outside of Africa MCF is mainly caused by ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2) which is carried subclinically by sheep.
