摘要:
An isolated attenuated circovirus having a mutation in viral nucleic acid encoding viral protein 2 (VP2). The attenuated circovirus is particularly suitable for use in conferring immunity in an animal, particularly birds.
摘要:
Disclosed are serological assays based on unique sequence type-specifice gG proteins and polypeptides capable of distinguishing the closely related EHV4 and EHV1 viruses. The assays are capable of clearly and unambiguously distinguishing animals infected with EHV4 or EHV1 and thereby distinguishing the EHV4 infection: equine rhinopheumonitis, causing 'snotty noses' from the more dramatic consequences of EHV1 infection; equine abortion, which often results in an 'abortion storm' and high loss of livestock. Further disclosed are the unique type-specific epitopes of EHV4 and EHV1, recombinantly derived novel nucleic acid sequences and proteins which are useful in providing assay reagents, antibodies, vaccines, probes and associated peripherals for diagnosis and control.
