摘要:
The present invention provides a multiplex RT-PCR/PCR method, which enables in a single assay the simultaneous detection of any combination of bovine rotavirus, bovine coronavirus, Cryptosporidium parvum, and optionally, Escherichia coli strains producing K99 pili or heat-stable enterotoxin STa.
摘要:
A recombinant poxvirus vaccine against feline herpesvirus (FHV-1) is described. The recombinant poxviruses include synthetic genes encoding either a gB or gD precursor polypeptide or mixtures of the two recombinant poxviruses. The vaccine is used to provide immunity to FHV-1 in cats.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of novel nucleotide sequences for the M and N region peptide of the ferret coronavirus and derivative products for the diagnosis and treatment of epizootic catarrhal enteritis (ECE) in ferrets.
摘要:
The present invention provides an isolated feline calicivirus and mutants thereof, which were isolated from the urine of a cat with lower urinary tract disorder. The present invention further provides nucleic acid clones of the virus, in particular, a clone which encodes the capsid antigen of the virus. The present invention is useful for providing a live or killed virus vaccine comprising the virus or mutants thereof, a subunit vaccine comprising the capsid antigen of the virus, a nucleic acid vaccine encoding the capsid antigen of the virus, and a recombinant virus vector vaccine encoding the capsid antigen of the virus. The present invention also provides a method for isolating feline calicivirus from urine and an assay for diagnosing cats infected with feline calicivirus.
