Aujeszky's disease virus: opportunities and challenges.

چکیده
Since its description in 1902, Aujeszky's disease (AD) has become one of the most thoroughly examined viral diseases of swine. The causative agent, Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV), is a neurotropic alphaherpesvirus that produces fatal encephalitis in newborn pigs and a milder syndrome in older animals. In several instances this virus has been used as a test case to examine novel vaccine concepts in swine, including the honor of being the first genetically modified vaccine used in the field. Furthermore, the examination of the immune response to infection or vaccination with this virus has revealed important information about the function of the porcine immune system, including evidence on the existence of a dichotomy between the humoral and cellular immune response in swine. This review presents a summary of research where ADV has been a valuable tool for the development of novel vaccines and has provided information to better understand the immune response of swine to infectious agents.

Evidence of Aujeszky’s disease in wild boar in Serbia
BACKGROUND Aujeszky's disease is a viral disease of suids caused by Suid Herpesvirus 1. The disease has worldwide distribution with significant economic impact. In Serbia, there is neither an Aujeszky's disease eradication nor national vaccination programme of domestic pigs. Since clinical symptoms of Aujeszky's disease are not specific, it is important to establish a link between clinical sign...
متن کاملDifferentiation of serum antibodies from pigs vaccinated or infected with Aujeszky's disease virus by a competitive enzyme immunoassay.
A competitive enzyme immunoassay was developed to detect antibodies to a glycoprotein (gI) of Aujeszky's disease virus. Infected cell monolayers were used as antigen and a monoclonal antibody directed against an epitope of gI as indicator antibody. It was demonstrated that pigs vaccinated with the Bartha, BUK or NIA-4 strains did not produce antibody to the epitope of gI, whereas all wild-type ...
متن کاملAujeszky's disease (pseudorabies) virus: the virus and molecular pathogenesis--state of the art, June 1999.
Considerable progress has been made during the last years in understanding the molecular basis of protein function in pseudorabies virus (PrV), the causative agent of Aujeszky's disease (AD). Major topics have been the identification and functional characterisation of viral envelope glycoproteins and cellular virus receptors, elucidation of viral proteins involved in neurovirulence and neuropat...
متن کاملThe inactivation of foot and mouth disease, Aujeszky's disease and classical swine fever viruses in pig slurry.
The aim of the study was to investigate the decontamination of pig slurry containing exotic viruses of pigs, foot AND mouth disease virus (FMDV), Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV) AND classical swine fever virus (CSFV). Laboratory-scale decontamination experiments showed that FMDV, ADV and CSFV were heat inactivated in slurry within 3 min at 67 degrees C, 3 min at 62 degrees C and 3 min at 60 degr...
