  • 국내 육계 농장에서 avian reovirus의 감염 여부를 확인하기 위한 ELISA 검사법을 이용한 혈청 검사와 바이러스 분리 및 2개 농장에서 분리된 바이러스를 SPF 닭에 공격 접종하여 병원성을 확인한 결과, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 1일령 육계 병아리에서 avian reovirus에 대한 모체이행 항체 역가 검사를 통하여 육용종계에서 avian reovirus에 대한 항체 보유 상태가 매우 다양하며, 이로 인해 후 대 병아리의 항체 수준도 매우 불균일하게 분포된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 2. 육계에서 avian reovirus에 대한 모체 이행 항체 역가는 14일령 전에 대부분 소실되며, 그 이후 혈청 역가가 상승하는 것이 확인되어 국내 육계 농장에서도 avian reovirus가 감염이 되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 각 농장의 감염 상황 및 계군의 면역 정도에 따라 혈청 역가가 다양하게 분포함을 알 수 있었다. 3. RT-PCR을 이용한 avian reovirus 확인 결과, 1일령 병아리에서 모두 음성으로 확인되었고, 14일령과 출하 일령에 2개 농장에서 양성으로 나타나, 국내 육계 농장에서 avian reovirus 감염은 주로 14일령 이후에 나타나는 것으로 판단되었다. 4. 본 실험에서 실시한 ELISA, RT-PCR, 전자현미경 관찰을 통하여 국내 육계 농가에서의 ARV 감염과 존재를 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 검사 방법간의 결과가 불일치한 것은 avian reovirus의 분리가 감염된 농장의 상황, 닭의 감염 일령 및 분리 장기에 따라 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 5. 9일령 SPF 부화란 접종을 통해 2개의 육계 농장에서 avian reovirus가 분리되었고 분리된 바이러스를 3주령 SPF 닭에 공격 접종 시 혈청 역가의 상승 및 주요 조직에서 바이러스가 확인되었으나, 특이적인 임상 증상은 관찰되지 않았다. 이는 닭의 연령에 따라 avian reovirus에 저항성이 있는 것으로 여겨지며 ARV의 조직 내 잔존은 감염 장기에 따라 다르다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • From September 1996 to September 1999, 419 Korean-native calves with diseases under 6-month old collected from Kyonggi, Chungcheong, Chonlla and Kyongsang were examined by clinical, microbiological, parasitic, hematologic and histopathological mean. Among them, 124 cases were tested about the neutralization antibodies against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus(IBRV), Parainfluenza-3 virus(PI-3V), bovine uiral diarrhea virus(BVDV), bovine ephemeral fever virus(BEFV). In calf diseases in the survey, enteric diseases(72.8%) were most frequently involved and the following orders were taken by respiratory(17.4%) and reproductive (5.0%) disorders. In the causative pathogens associated with calf diseases and motality, 48.4% was induced by bacteria origin and also 35.6% by viral agents. Calf mortality was up to 76.3% in the cae of bacterial diseases and 55.7% in viral diseases. In bacterial diseases, frequent disorders were composed of colibacillosis(52.7%), salmonellosis(13.8%), pasteurellosis(12.8%) and campylobacteriosis(3.9%) and their mortalities showed 73.8% in colibacillosis, 73.0% in pasteurellosis, 67.9% in salmonellosis and 50.0% in campylobacteriosis (50.0%). Among the outbreaks of viral diseases, there were BVD(22.8%), bovine rotavirus infection(20.8%), bovine coronavirus infection(16.8%), bovine respiratory syncytial virus infection(15.4%), IBR(15.4%). Akabane disease(4.7%) and Chuzan diseases(3.4%). Interesting results through this studies were obtained the first isolate to Chuzan virus and Ainovirus in Korea which could be promised the development for diagnostic method and vaccines soon. Calf mortality to Akabane and Chuzan diseases was 100%. Main parasitic diseases were occupied by coccidiosis and babesiosis and their mortality of babesiosis was 20.0%. Other diseases were abomasal impaction(6.7%) and toxicosis(4.5%). The mortality of abomasal impaction was 89.3%. In some causes with malformations(1.9%) were confirmed as anasarca, derodidymus, polymelia, humerus hypoplasia, and tracheal collapse. Calf diseases had mostly been occurred in one month old grout (52.5%) and its prevalence was 25.1% in two to three month old group and 22.4% in four to six month old group. In calf mortality by age, there were 37.9% in one month old group, 18.1% in two and three month old group, and 13.8% in four to six month old group, respectively. The older the age of calf, the less the prevalence of calf enteric diseases. Respiratory diseases in calves to be tested frequently occurred in one to two month old group (41.4%). In one month old calves, the prevalence of enteric disease was 80.0%(p<0.05) and that of reproductive and respiratory disease was 9.5% and 8.2%, respectively. In two month old and four to six month old, enteric disease was 65.7% and 63.8% and respiratory disease was 28.6% and 26.6%. Seasonal prevalence and mortality of Korean-native calf diseases were not a significant difference. Prevalence of calf diseases in summer(31.5%) frequently occurred to compare that in winter(20.3%). Abortion and malformation in calves frequently occurred in spring. Hematological values in 84 calves with clinical signs showed mild to marked leukocytosis. Also, there was slight increase in hematocrit, platelet, mean corpuscular volume and mean plasma volume, but all of those were included the higher level to normal ranges. Calves with respiratory signs showed slightly erythrocytosis. One hundred seventy three calves without clinical signs were not significant different to ill cases in hematological values, but number of platelets was in higher normal range. In 125 calves, 84.8% was taken the antibody to IBRV, but 72% with the antibody had recorded the titer level lower than log$_2$5. The neutralizing antibody levels of higher than $log_{2}5$ to PI-3V and BVD virus were 60.8% and 67.2% cases, respectively. There were the cases of 57.6% had the neutralizing antibody level lower than log$_2$5 to BEFV.

  • Enzootic pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is responsible for major economic losses in pig herds of world wide. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae can also act as a primary pathogen of porcine respiratory disease complex followed by bacterial or viral infection. This study was carried out to investigate the prevalence of mycoplasmal pneumonia of slaughtered pigs in Jeju for two years. The lungs and sera of 214 cases were examined for gross and microscopic lesions of the lungs, immunohistichemistry test for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae antigen and enzyme-linked immunohistichemistry assay (ELISA) for serum antibody titer. Pulmonary consolidation was observed in the lungs of 163 pigs $(76.1\%)$ with average gross lesion score of $6.0\%$., Bronchointerstitial pneumonia was most frequently observed $(78.5\%)$. The incidence of pulmonary consolidation was decreased in vaccinated pigs compared to that of non-vaccinated pigs. The rate of consolidation in the lungs was significantly decreased in the vaccinated pigs (P<0.05). Antigen of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae was identified by immunohistichemistry test in the lungs of 174 pigs $(81.3\%)$. ELISh antibodies to Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae were detected in 154 pigs $(72.0\%)$. These results showed the prevalence of swine pneumonia and the incidence of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in slaughtered pigs of Jeiu province. We expect that these results would be helpful for the control of swine mycoplasmal pneumonia and porcine respiratory disease complex in Jeju.

  • Despite regular vaccinations, equine influenza virus (EIV) and Streptococcus equi subsp. equi (strangles) are the cause of highly contagious respiratory infections in horses. Many recent studies have reported that the concurrent administration of two vaccines could simplify horse management and minimize veterinary expenses. However, there is little information available regarding the efficacy of concurrent vaccinations against EIV and strangles. In this study, we evaluated EIV-specific antibody responses following the single EIV vaccination with the recombinant viral-vectored EIV vaccine or concurrent vaccination with the EIV and inactivated strangles vaccines. Blood samples were collected at 1-, 2-, 4-, and 8 weeks post-immunization (wpi) from each group. EIV-specific antibodies were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay. Both single and concurrent vaccination showed similar levels of EIV-specific serum immunoglobulin g (IgG) at 1 and 2 wpi. However, at 4 to 8 wpi, the EIV-only vaccination group showed significantly higher serum IgG levels than those from the concurrently vaccinated group. The HAI titers showed similar trends as the ELISA data, except at 8 wpi when both groups presented HAI titers with no significant differences. These data demonstrate that the concurrent vaccination against EIV and strangles could compromise the humoral immune response to equine influenza between vaccination intervals, which suggests the use of the consecutive vaccination protocol for EIV and strangles rather than concurrent vaccination.

  • A study was conducted to determine the susceptibility of swine to Korean foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV; subtype O, isolated from Chungju province) in April, 2ooo. One holstein cow was inoculated intradermolingually with suspension of homogenized tissue from a Korean native cow naturally infected with Korean FMDY. Infected cow was housed with one susceptible cow and one susceptible pig (contact sentinels). Four additional susceptible pigs were housed in the same room but caged separately (non-contacted sentinels). The contacted pig and cow as well as non-contact pigs developed typical clinical signs after 2, 3, and 7 days post exposure, respectively. We compared neutralizing antibody from the animals to FMDV $O_1$ Lombardy, O Taiwan, $O_1$ Campos, and $O_1$ Manisa after 0, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28 days post challenge and post-exposure. The highest viral neutralization titer could be interpreted that serotype O Korea (Chungju isolate) is antigenically more related to $O_1$ Manisa. In addition, immunohistochemistry was used to further characterize Korean FMDV from tissues of infected pigs. Korean FMDV antigen was observed in the tongue, hoof, esophagus, and tonsil tissues of sentinel pigs. These findings suggest that Korean FMD virus isolated from cattle can be rapidly transmitted to pigs both directly and indirectly contrast field observation in which only cattle were clinically ill.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy and mechanism of the cryo-precipitation, solvent/detergent (S/D) treatment, monoclonal anti-FVIIIc antibody (mAb) column chromatography, Q-Sepharose column chromatography, and lyophilization involved in the manufacture of antithemophilic factor VII(GreenMono) from human plasma, in the removal and/or inactivation of blood-borne viruses. A variety of experimental model viruses for human pathogenic viruses, including the bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV), bovine herpes virus (BHV), murine encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), and porcine parvovirus (PPV), were all selected for this study. BHV and EMCV were effectively partitioned from a factor VII during the cryo-precipitation with a log reduction factor of 2.83 and 3.24, respectively. S/D treatment using the organic solvent, tri(n-butyl) phosphate (TNBP), and the detergent, Triton X-100, was a robust and effective step in inactivating enveloped viruses. The titers of BHV and BVDV were reduced from the initial titer of 8.85 and $7.89{log_10} {TCID_50}$, respectively, reaching undetectable levels within 1 min of the S/D treatment. The mAb chromatography was the most effective step for removing nonenveloped viruses, EMCV and PPV, with the log reduction factors of 4.86 and 3.72, respectively. Q-Sepharose chromatography showed a significant efficacy for partitioning BHV, BVDV, EMCV, and PPV with the log reduction the log reduction factors of 2.32, 2.49, 2.60, and 1.33 respectively. Lyophilization was an effective step in inactivating g nonenveloped viruses rather than enveloped viruses, where the log reduction factors of BHV, BVDV, DMCV, and PPV were 1.41, 1.79, 4.76, and 2.05, respectively. The cumulative log reduction factors of BHV, BVDV, EMCV, and PPV were ${\geqq}$11.12, ${\geqq}$7.88, 15.46, and 7.10, respectively. These results indicate that the production process for GreenMono has a sufficient virus-reducing capacity to achieve a high margin of the virus safety.
