Systemic Necrotizing Vasculitis in Sheep Is Associated With Ovine Herpesvirus 2 [PDF]

Veterinary Pathology, 2018
Ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2) is one of the gammaherpesviruses in the genus Macavirus that can cause malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) in ungulates. Sheep are the adapted host for OvHV-2 and it is generally assumed that infection is not associated with disease in this species.

Pathogen surveillance and epidemiology in endangered peninsular bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni)

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 4, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Peninsular bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni) are federally endangered due to multiple threats, including introduced infectious disease. We found that Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae seroprevalence was associated with lower lamb recruitment at the population level, and the primary predictor of pathogen infection/exposure at the individual level was the ...

Non‐invasive surveys of mammalian viruses using environmental DNA

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 10, Page 1941-1952, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) and invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) are used to survey biodiversity non‐invasively to mitigate difficulties in obtaining wildlife samples, particularly in remote areas or for rare species. Recently, eDNA/iDNA were used to monitor known wildlife pathogens; however, most wildlife pathogens are unknown and often ...

Ovine herpesvirus-2-encoded microRNAs target virus genes involved in virus latency. [PDF]

J Gen Virol, 2014
Herpesviruses encode microRNAs (miRNAs) that target both virus and host genes; however, their role in herpesvirus biology is understood poorly. We identified previously eight miRNAs encoded by ovine herpesvirus-2 (OvHV-2), the causative agent of malignant catarrhal fever (MCF), and have now investigated the role of these miRNAs in regulating expression

Malignant Catarrhal Fever caused by Ovine Herpesvirus-2 in a cow

Etlik Veteriner Mikrobiyoloji Dergisi, 2020
Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) has been defined as a viral disease of domestic cattle and wild ruminants. We report a case of MCF caused by ovine herpesvirus-2 (OvHV-2) in a 4-year-old female Holstein cow. Microscopic examination showed that fibrinoid necrotic vasculitis in all tissues and organs; inflammatory changes in the vessel walls of the brain
