In particular, in the first phase of the infection, i.e. post infection day (PID) 2, the virus resulted extensively widespread in the body of the calf, whereas in a subsequent phase, PID6, the virus was recovered only from the skin, the lymph nodes and the nervous system. Finally virus was not recovered in any of the tissues obtained from the calf killed at PID 12. Based on the results it might be speculated that, under the experimental conditions of these tests, the infection of cattle by BHV2 develops through two stages. The first stage would be characterized by a systemic condition in that the virus is present in the whole organism; the second stage which follows, consists in a localized infection, the virus being present only in some districts of the organism (skin, lymph nodes, nervous system) which could be considered as the definitive target sites for virus replication.</p>","PeriodicalId":75858,"journal":{"name":"Folia veterinaria Latina","volume":"7 3","pages":"243-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11423356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rules advocated are as follows: 1) All additives unless licensed remain strictly prohibited. 2) There must be a severe but realistic appraisal of additives to be authorised, taking into account the interests of the farmer and the health of the consumer, particularly in respect of cumulative toxicity and relay toxicity. 3) Periodic revision of licenses is necessary in the light of experience acquired and of new scientific knowledge. 4) Strict regulation of veterinary dispensing is necessary and it should not be possible to use prohibited additives through the lack of such a regulation. In other respects the veterinarian should prescribe substances which might leave residues only when there is adequate time for their disappearance before slaughter or in animals where the products are not for human consumption. 5) It should be possible to monitor all regulations. 6) It should be impossible to use compounds or drugs similar to those already authorized without new investigations and experiments on such additives. 7) Guidelines must be produced. Such European guidelines are now being discussed by a committee of experts. We hope that such guidelines will be studied by the FDA and a Joint Committee will be organised with the European Commission for relevant discussions.</p>","PeriodicalId":75858,"journal":{"name":"Folia veterinaria Latina","volume":"7 3","pages":"183-97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11817004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
