Diagnosis of Equine Infectious Anemia
نویسنده
چکیده
The terms, acute, subacute, chronic and relapsing types have been used to classify EIA cases. These types have been correlated with clinical and pathological observations. The acute and subacute types have sevet·e clinical symptoms and are often followed by death while the chronic type is identified by the occurrence of intermittent febrile attacks in a sut·viving case of the disease and with mild clinical symptoms.

Equine infectious anemia virus in China
Equine infectious anemia is an equine disease caused by equine infectious anemia virus, which was first reported in 1840. Equine infectious anemia virus research in China started in the 1960s, focusing on etiology, pathology, diagnosis, and immunology. Notably, in 1978 an attenuated vaccine was successfully developed for equine infectious anemia virus, effectively preventing equine infectious a...
متن کاملSelection of peptides for serological detection of equine infectious anemia.
Equine infectious anemia caused by equine infectious anemia virus is an important disease due to its high severity and incidence in animals. We used a phage display library to isolate peptides that can be considered potential markers for equine infectious anemia diagnosis. We selected peptides using IgG purified from a pool comprised of 20 sera from animals naturally infected with equine ...
متن کاملQuantitation of immunoglobulin-bearing lymphocytes and lymphocyte response to mitogens in horses persistently infected by equine infectious anemia virus.
A defect in lymphocyte function could be responsible for persistent infection by the equine infectious anemia virus. The number of lymphocytes bearing surface immunoglobulin, as detected by immunofluorescence, and lymphocyte response to mitogens were the same in uninfected and equine infectious anemia-infected animals. A defect in T or B lymphocyte numbers or ability to respond to stimuli was n...
متن کاملEquine infectious anemia virus from infected horse serum.
Equine infectious anemia virus was purified from infected horse serum samples. Electron microscope observation on negatively stained preparations of purified virus showed roughly spherical particles sized between 100 and 200 nm in diameter. In disrupted particles, an envelope was visible but no internal structure could be resolved. Since the purified virus fraction had a strong antigenic activi...
متن کاملLeukocyte cytotoxicity in a persistent virus infection: presence of direct cytotoxicity but absence of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in horses infected with equine infectious anemia virus.
Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and direct cytotoxicity assays were performed with equine infectious anemia virus-infected target cells, equine leukocytes, and equine anti-equine infectious anemia virus antibody to determine whether these mechanisms play a role in controlling viral replication in equine infectious anemia. Direct cytotoxicity was observed by using peripheral blood monon...
