Abstract:Partial nucleotide sequences of ORF72 (glycoprotein D,
gD), ORF64 (infected cell protein 4, ICP4)
and ORF30 (DNA polymerase) genes were compared with
corresponding sequences of EHV-1 reference strains to characterize the molecular
variability of Brazilian strains. Virus isolation assays were applied to 74
samples including visceral tissue, total blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and
nasal swabs of specimens from a total of 64 animals. Only one CSF sample
(Iso07/05 strain) was positive by virus isolation in cell… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based startup that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
