Subclinical infection and localization of foot-and-mouth disease viral RNA/antigens in apparently healthy Asiatic buffalo under natural condition
The present study aimed to identify the subclinical infection and tissue-specific localization of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus RNA and/or antigen in Asiatic-buffaloes as their possible involvement in starting new outbreaks is still up for debate. Serum, oropharyngeal fluid (OPF), and 11 distinct tissue-samples were taken from the slaughterhouses from Asiatic-buffaloes (n = 70) and processed for 3AB3-non-structural protein (NSP) antibody titre estimation, virus isolation and genome detection, haematoxylin and eosin (HE) examinations, and indirect immunofluorescence assays, respectively. Of these, it was found that 04 (serum), 14 (OPF), and 18 (tissue) samples tested positive for NSP Ab, and FMD Viral genomic RNA/Ag, respectively. Nevertheless, FMD Virus (FMDV) could not be isolated from any of the positive OPF or tissue samples; this might be because of limited sensitivity of the test system/low concentration of FMDV. The dorsal-soft-palate (DSP)-2 was shown to have the highest rate of FMDV detection by immunofluorescence microscopy, followed by DSP1, dorsal nasopharynx (DNP)-2, DNP1, and palatine tonsil (PTON). Therefore, in asymptomatic Asiatic-buffaloes living in natural environments, DSP and DNP might be the primary FMDV localization sites. However, since it can be difficult to distinguish between temporally acute subclinical infections and persistent infections in the field, particularly in abattoir surveillance, the site of viral RNA/antigen localization needs to be confirmed with known persistently infected buffaloes under controlled conditions. Moreover, there was no evidence linking the 3AB3 NSP antibody positive rate to the genome identification in tissue samples and OPF. To determine whether a correlation occurs at all, more samples must be assessed using various procedures and tests.
期刊介绍:
Veterinary Microbiology is concerned with microbial (bacterial, fungal, viral) diseases of domesticated vertebrate animals (livestock, companion animals, fur-bearing animals, game, poultry, fish) that supply food, other useful products or companionship. In addition, Microbial diseases of wild animals living in captivity, or as members of the feral fauna will also be considered if the infections are of interest because of their interrelation with humans (zoonoses) and/or domestic animals. Studies of antimicrobial resistance are also included, provided that the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge. Authors are strongly encouraged to read - prior to submission - the Editorials (''Scope or cope'' and ''Scope or cope II'') published previously in the journal. The Editors reserve the right to suggest submission to another journal for those papers which they feel would be more appropriate for consideration by that journal.
Original research papers of high quality and novelty on aspects of control, host response, molecular biology, pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of microbial diseases of animals are published. Papers dealing primarily with immunology, epidemiology, molecular biology and antiviral or microbial agents will only be considered if they demonstrate a clear impact on a disease. Papers focusing solely on diagnostic techniques (such as another PCR protocol or ELISA) will not be published - focus should be on a microorganism and not on a particular technique. Papers only reporting microbial sequences, transcriptomics data, or proteomics data will not be considered unless the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge.
Drug trial papers will be considered if they have general application or significance. Papers on the identification of microorganisms will also be considered, but detailed taxonomic studies do not fall within the scope of the journal. Case reports will not be published, unless they have general application or contain novel aspects. Papers of geographically limited interest, which repeat what had been established elsewhere will not be considered. The readership of the journal is global.
