Persistence of porcine rubulavirus in experimentally infected boars

Veterinary Microbiology, 2013
Porcine rubulavirus is the etiological agent of blue eye disease in pigs. In boars, this virus causes orchitis and epididymitis and reduces seminal quality. The objective of this study was to determine the persistence of porcine rubulavirus in experimentally infected boars.

Immunity to porcine rubulavirus infection in adult swine

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 1998
The immune response against the porcine rubulavirus was analyzed in experimentally infected adult pigs. High titers of virus neutralizing and hemagglutinating inhibitory antibodies were identified in infected animals. The antibody specificity was directed towards HN, M, and NP rubula virion proteins; immunodominance of HN proteins was demonstrated ...

Experimental Porcine Rubulavirus (La Piedad-Michoacan virus) Infection in Pregnant Gilts

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2004
Porcine rubulavirus (La Piedad-Michoacan virus) (PoRV-LPMV) is a member of the Paramyxoviridae family that causes encephalitis in young piglets and infertility in adult sows and boars. Infertility in sows naturally infected by PoRV-LPMV is characterized by an increased number of returns to oestrus, stillbirths and mummified fetuses. In this study, nine

NeuAcα2,3Gal-Glycoconjugate Expression Determines Cell Susceptibility to the Porcine Rubulavirus LPMV

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - B Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1997
Relevance of membrane sialoglycoconjugates as receptors for infection by the porcine rubulavirus has been determined in vitro by sugar and lectin competition assays and by inhibition of glycosylation. Our results show that NeuAc alpha 2,3Gal but not NeuAc alpha 2,6Gal inhibits the virus infectivity of Vero cells, and the virus was effectively blocked ...

Lesions in the reproductive tract of boars experimentally infected with porcine rubulavirus

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1997
"Blue eye" disease of pigs in Mexico is caused by porcine rubulavirus and characterized by infertility in sows and boars, nervous signs in young pigs, and corneal opacity in pigs of all ages. The pathogenesis of reproductive tract lesions in rubulavirus-infected boars has not previously been investigated.
