Isolation of Virus from Embryonate Eggs Inoculated with Material from a Case of Trachoma in Western Australia* By
نویسنده
چکیده
THE first convincing isolation of the trachoma virus was made by T'ang, Chang, Huang, and Wang (1957) using embryonate eggs: their findings were confirmed by Collier and Sowa (1958), who also showed that clinical trachoma followed inoculation of a human volunteer with isolated virus. Isolation of the virus from patients with trachoma in Australia has not previously been reported although the disease is common amongst the aborigines. This communication describes an apparently successful isolation from a 3-year-old half-caste boy living in the native camp at Moora, 100 miles north of Perth, Western Australia.

متن کاملMonitoring virus harvesting time in embryonated chicken eggs inoculated with avian influenza H9N2 vaccine strain
Knowledge of virus and replication kinetic is one of the most important issues in the vaccine production. The present study aimed to evaluate the best harvesting time of H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV) vaccine strain inoculated in specific pathogen free (SPF) embryonated chicken eggs (ECE)s. For this purpose, 10-5 dilution of AIV (A/Chicken/Iran/99/H9N2) was inoculated into 336, 11-day old ECE...
متن کاملDetection of specific antigens of Newcastle disease virus using an absorbed Western blotting method
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an economically important poultry pathogen with a worldwide distribution that may infect a wide range of domestic and wild avian species. The identification of different pathotypes of NDVs plays an important role in the diagnosis and development of vaccines to control and eradicate NDV infections. In our previous study, we showed that mono-specific antibodies ca...
متن کاملDetection of infectious laryngotracheitis virus (Gallid herpesvirus-1) from clinically infected chickens in Egypt by different diagnostic methods
Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) disease is an acute highly contagious viral disease leading to massive economic losses to the national poultry industry. This study aimed to identify the most accurate and rapid diagnostic methods to rescue layer poultry farms from intense outbreaks in Egypt. Fifty pathological specimens were collected and subjected to virus isolation (VI), histopathology, dir...
متن کاملExperimental trachoma produced by a West Australian virus.
RECENT ophthalmic surveys in Western Australia by Mann (1954a, 1954b, 1956), with the support of the Public Health Department and the Royal Flying Doctor Service, have shown that trachoma is the greatest single cause of ocular morbidity and blindness over large areas of rural Australia. The first successful culture in Australia of the causative agent was accomplished in Perth by Perret and Mann...
