This study was taken to clarify the clinical signs and macroscopical lesions of pigs naturally infected with hog cholera. The clinical and macroscopical observation on the natural cases of hog cholera and experimental cases inoculated with ALD Virus and isolated virus strains were carried out. The results obtained are as follow; In clinical inspection of the natural cases, diarrhea (73.1%) blotching of ear (50.0%), staggering (42.3%), erythema of skin (40.0%), constipation (38.5%), conjunctivitis (32.7%) and dyspnea (30.8%) were observed. Dyspnea, constipation and erythema of skin were observed mainly in the experimental cases, however, staggering and conjunctivitis in pigs infected with ALD virus were found and convulsion and hemorrhage of skin of pigs infected with isolated virus were seen, respectively. The gross lesions of natural cases were hemorrhage of lymph node (82.5%), enteritis and hemorrhage of large intestine (65.0%), splenic infarction (57.5%), pneumonia (55.0%), gastritis and hemorrhage (52.5%), cardiac hemorrhage (40.0%) and renal petechiation (37.5%), while in the experimental cases, hemorrhage of lymph node, pneumonia, gastritis and hemorrhage, enteritis and hemorrhage of laryge intestine and splenic infarction were seen mainly.

This study was undertaken to clarify the histopathological changes of pigs naturally infected with hog cholera. Microscopic observations of the brain as well as clinical observations were carried out for the naturally and experimentally infected pigs with hog cholera viruses. Electron microscopically the vascular cuffings of the brain were also observed in the experiment. In addition, clinical and pathological studios were carried out in the rabbits inoculated with ALD, lapinized and isolated strain of hog cholera virus, respectively. The results obtained are as follows; Vascular cuffing of the brain was observed in about 97% of the natural cases and all of the experimental cases. Among the 496 cuffed blood vessels of natural cases, intramural cuffing (82.9%), intramural and perivascular cuffing (11.9%) and perivascular cuffing (5.2%) were seen, respectively. Electron microscopic findings on cuffed blood vessels of the brain were endothelial cellular degeneration, intramural separation and vacuolation, perivascular vacuolation and infiltration of pleomorphic lymphoid cells. In the rabbits dosed with tissue suspension of the lymphoid organs and isolated hog cholera virus, high body temperature and vascular cuffing of the brain were observed, meanwhile these changes were more significant in pre-injected cased with indian ink.

Hog cholera (HC) virus detection from the artificially infected pigs was made using fluoreescent antibody technique (FAT) and END method. It was observed that the swine origin virulent was detected in most of the organs tested at the early stage of the infection, while the tissue culture attenuated virus was detected only in blood (transitionally), lung, and tonsil.

Hog cholera virus(HCV) was purified from virus infected Bovine kidney cells. From this virus, total protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis and about 55 kDa band of E2 envelope protein was detected. The viral RNA was purified and E2 cDNA was amplified by RT-PCR. E2 cDNA fragment was cloned to PCRII-TOPO cloning vector and named pE2. The analysis of nucleotide sequence showed that this E2 cDNA fragment inserted into pE2 was 1191 nucleotides long and coded 397 amino acids.

This study was taken to clarify the histopathological changes of pigs naturally infected with hog cholera. Microscopic observations of the necrotic lesion and inclusion body in the lymphoid organs were carried out in the natural cases of hog cholera and experimental cases inoculated with ALD virus and isolated virus strains. Electron microscopic findings of the intranuclear inclusion bodies in the reticular cell of spleen and lymph node were also observed in the experimental cases. The results obtained are as follow, As the histological findings necrosis of lymphoid organs was observed mainly in the lymph follicle. The necrotic lymphoid organs were found to contain 35.0% in the natural and 37.5% in the experimental cases. Intranuclear inclusion bodies were found mainly in the reticular cells of lymphoid organ, the epithelium of bronchiole and alevolus, and the vascular endothelium of brain. These inclusion bodies were seen in 40.0% of the natural cases and all of the experiment. The inclusion body was appeared to compose of activated nucleoli and chromatin granules (interchromatin and perichromatin) by electron microscopy.

The present study was intended to use the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method for the identification of hog cholera virus(HCV) in the lymphatic organs of HCV-infected pigs. Sections were incubated with primary antibody (rabbit anti-HCV polyclonal or mouse anti-HCV monoclonal), followed by incubation with linkserum (goat anti-rabbit IgG) in excess and rabbit or mouse PAP complex. The viral antigen was localized mainly in the cytoplasms of lymphoid cells and macrophages. Positive reaction cells were frequently detected in the marginal areas of the germinal centers of the spleens, and also found in the tensils and lymph nodes. The method approved to be highly specific for the identification of the virus and allowed a precise localization of the viral antigen in infected cells.

The free amino acid contents in several tissues of swine were analyzed qualitatively by means of two dimentional paper chromatography. The tissues used were liver, kidney and spleen that were obtained from normal, immunized and hog cholera infected swines. The results obtained are as follows: 1. Liver: 20 amino acids were detected in normal, 17 in immunized and 15 in infected swines. 2. Kidney: 16 amino acids were detected in normal, 13 in immunized and infected swines. 3. Spleen: 15 amino acids were detected in normal in immunized and 13 in infected swines. 4. Glutamic acid, leucine, serine and threonine were present in high concentration in all of the cases examined. 5. The free amino acids were appeard to be decreased in the infected tissues with hog cholera virus.

Ten pigs infected with Aujeszky's disease virus (ADY) or hog cholera virus(HCV) were tested for the detection of virus antigens in frozens or paraffin-embedded sections by avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex(ABC) method. Tonsils, spleens, cerebra and buffy coats were examined for the immunohistochemical test. Where ADV antigen was detected by ABC, a dark brown deposit occurred in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm of lymphocytes and macrophages, however, HCV antigen was demonstrated in the cytoplasm of the infected cells. ADV-positive cells were most frequently detected in tonsils and cerebra, whereas, HCV -positive cells were frequently observed in spleens. And buffy coat were also good for both virus detection. The results suggested that ABC method is considered as an excellent and reliable tool for confirmative diagnosis of these viral diseases.

Background : Ambient particles during Asian dust events are usually less than $10{\mu}m$ in size, and known to be associated with the adverse effects on the general population. There is little evidence linking Asian dust to adverse effects on the airways. In 2002, the authors found that particulate matter during Asian dust events had an effect on the symptoms and pulmonary function of patients with bronchial asthma. An aggravating factor might be that of a viral infection, but this remains unclear. Conversely, it has been speculated that African dust may carry the virus responsible for foot and mouth disease. Asian dust events are also likely to be responsible for transporting viruses, some of which are pathogenic, and common in many environments. Therefore, in this study, air samples were screened for the presence of viruses. Methods : Air samples were collected 20 times each during Asian dust events and under non-dust conditions, for at least 6 hours per sample, using a high volume air sampler (Sibata Model HV500F), with an airflow rate of 500L/min, between April and August 2003, and between April and August 2004. The samples were then screened for the presence of targeted viruses (Influenza A, B, Hog cholera virus, and Aphthovirus) using a polymerase chain reaction method. Results : One Asian dust event occurred between April and August 2003, and 3 between April and August 2004, with a 24 hour average PM10 level of $148.0{\mu}g/m^3$. The 24 hour average PM10 level was $57{\mu}g/m^3$. There was a significant difference in the PM10 concentration between dusty and clear days. No viruses (Influenza virus, Aphthovirus, and Hog cholera virus) were identified in the air samples obtained during the dusty days. Conclusions : Although no virus was detected in this study, further studies will be needed to identify suspected viruses carried during Asian dust events, employing more appropriate virus detection conditions.
