louping ill/fever

The pathogenesis of concurrent Cytoecetes phagocytophila and louping-ill virus infection was studied in two experiments. In the first experiment 18 four- to seven-year-old rams were used. Ten were infected with C phagocytophila and five days later eight of these animals and the remaining eight sheep

Spanish goat encephalitis virus (SGEV) is a recently described member of the genus Flavivirus belonging to the tick-borne encephalitis group of viruses, and is closely related to louping ill virus (LIV). Naturally acquired disease in goats results in severe, acute encephalitis and 100% mortality.

Louping ill virus, a tick-borne arbovirus readily established a persistent infection in porcine kidney (PS) cells after initially inducing minor cytopathic changes. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the envelope glycoprotein of the viral RNA recovered from the persistently infected cells showed no

Fourteen mouse monoclonal antibodies raised against tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and polyclonal antisera raised against six other flaviviruses, Edge Hill (EHV), Japanese encephalitis (JEV), Langat (LGTV), louping ill (LIV), West Nile (WNV) and yellow fever (YFV), were tested for their

Through the use of acetone and ether extraction of brain tissue from newborn mice infected with certain arthropod-borne viruses, it has been possible to demonstrate hemagglutinins for chick erythrocytes associated with the following viruses: dengue Type 1, dengue Type 2, Eastern equine encephalitis,

Comparative titrations of alpha-, flavi- and Bunyamwera viruses were made by EIA-IC and according to cytopathic effect (CPE). Specific enzymatic reactions appeared earlier and in higher titres than CPE. The titres of dengue type 1, Mayaro, Powassan and Langat viruses measured by EIA-IC were

Solid-phase enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) was used for the detection of antigenic relationships and/or differences among the viruses belonging to the tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) complex. Monoclonal antibodies of IgM class with haemagglutination-inhibiting activity to the Skalica strain of TBE

More than 150 arthropod-borne viruses are now recognized, and over 50 of these are known to produce human infections and disease. Among these viruses are those of the tick-borne Russian spring-summer complex, which is etiologically involved in a wide variety of human diseases of varying severity.

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) monoclonal antibodies showed haemagglutination-inhibiting (HI) activity against viruses belonging to the TBE complex except of Powassan virus. The HI titre with Kyasanur forest disease virus was lower than with tick-borne encephalitis virus, when monoclonal antibodies

The mammalian tick-borne flavivirus group (MTBFG) contains viruses associated with important human and animal diseases such as encephalitis and hemorrhagic fever. In contrast to mosquito-borne flaviviruses where recombination events are frequent, the evolutionary dynamic within the MTBFG was

Ticks are important vectors for different tick-borne viruses, some of which cause diseases and death in humans, livestock, and wild animals. Tick-borne encephalitis virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus, Kyasanur forest disease virus, severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus,

Background: Arboviruses are a growing public health concern in Europe, with both endemic and exotic arboviruses expected to spread further into novel areas in the next decades. Predicting where future outbreaks will occur is a major

The importance of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) and Lyme borreliosis-the main European tick-borne diseases-is steadily growing. This fact is due to many different factors including climate changes. However, across Europe many other human pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and parasites are found in

Analysis of low-molecular virus-specific proteins of all the known members of the tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) complex viruses: TBE (2 strains), Langat, louping-ill, Negishi, Kyasanur Forest disease, Omsk hemorrhagic fever (2 strains), and Powassan, was performed. The cells infected with the above
