Summary: Sera from 22 European brown bears (Ursus arctos) from
Croatia were tested to 18 viral and rickettsial agents. Serologic evidence
of exposure was found to the following agents: Bhanjavirus (3/15), Tahyna
virus (3/15), West Nile virus (4/15), Naplessandfly fever virus (1/15)
human adenovirus (1/22), influenza A(1/22) and B (1/22) virus.
cytomegalovirus (1/22), parainfluenzavirus 1 (2/22), Chlamydia psittaci
(1/22), Coxiella burnetii (2/22) and canine parvovirus 2 (7/22). This may
be the first report of antibodies to canine parvovirus 2 in bears.

Summary: Uterine washings from 124 apparently healthy and
non-pregnant Wistar rats of different ages were cultured for mycoplasmas
and bacteria. The animals originated from four conventional breeding
colonies which were known to be chronically infected with M. pulmonis from
the previous microbiological examination. Mycoplasmas were isolated from
the uterus in 30.6% of examined females. All the isolates were
biochemically and serologically identified as M. pulmonis. Uterine
colonization with this organism was first evidenced in non-mated female
rats at the age of three monts. After mating the number of infected females
rapidly increased. The observation points out the microbiologically
uncontrolled mating as an important factor in the distribution of genital
infection within the colony. Bacterial examination of uterine washings
reveald only ubiquitous organisms in some animals. Gross lesions in the
form of purulent salpingitis and mild endometritis were observed only in
two animals.

Summary: We examined vaccine properties of a conventionally
attenuated bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) mutant strain. This strain has
a deletion that encompasses the glycoprotein E gene and may therefore be
used as a marker vaccine. We compared strain A with a commercial live BHV-1
vaccine B. Calves were intranasally vaccinated with strain A or with
vaccine B, Strain A was virtually avirulent for young calves, After
challange, vaccine calves were protected against disease and virus shedding
was considerably reduced, After dexamethasone treatment strain A was not
recovered, whereas vaccine B and challange virus were. We concluded that
strain A is suitable for inclusion in a vaccine and has the potential
advantage of been used as a marker vaccine.

Summary: The bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV 1) strain Za is a
conventionally attenuated strain with a 2.7 kb deletion that encompasses
the complete coding region for glycoprotein (gE). This gE-negative strain
was used as whole-virus antigen in an inactivated vaccine. Three different
antigen concentrations of this vaccine were evaluated for safety and
efficacy in a vaccination-challange experiment in calves. Calves given the
vaccine with the highest antigen concentration were adequately protected.
With developed a sensitive blocking ELISA to detect antibodies against gE.
The results demonstrate the efficacy of a gE-negative inactivated BHV 1
vacine and the detectability of antibodies against gE after infection.
Keywords: bovine herpesvirus 1, glycoprotein E-negative strain, marker vaccine

Summary: A total seven Staphylococcus intermedius cultures isolated
from cases of canine pyoderma were investigated for the genetic basis of
chloramphenicol resistance (Cm) . All of these S. intermedius isolates
mediated via the expression of the Cm- inactivating enzyme chloramphenicol
acetyltrans ferase (Cat); the respective cat genes were found to be located
on small multicopy plasmids of 3.1 to 4.1 kb in four of the seven cultures.
the four Cm plasmids, designated pSCS2O-23, differed upon restriction
endonuclease mapping. Hybridization experiments identified all of them to
belong to the pc221-family of staphylococcal Cm plasmids. The expression of
all four plasmid-encoded cat genes was inducible with chloramphenicol. The
remaining three S. intermedius isolates also harboured an inducible cat
gene of the pC221-type wich, however, was found to be located in the
chromosomal DNA. These differences in the subcellular localisation and
consequently in the number of cat gene copies per S. intermedius cell had
no influence on the MIC values of Cm exhibited by the respective S.
intermedius isolates.

Summary: One hundred and four strains of Malassezia pachydermatis ,
100 isolated from dogs at two geographically separate location, one from a
cat, and three from young bears, have been karyotyped. Cellular nucleic
acid has been extracted from a selection of these strains, assayed from the
presence of extrachromosomal nucleic acid, studied by restriction fragment
polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and Southern blotting against a poly (GT)
probe. All but five of the strains shared a common six band karyotype
pattern with the bands estimated to be, 800 kbp, 1250 kbp, 1450 kbp, 1500
kbp, l850 kbp and 1900 kbp. In the remaining five strains the smallest 800
kbp band was replaced with a double band. Forty-five per cent of the
isolates tested carried a 6.4 kbp RNA "plasmid" and 21 per cent of the
isolates also carried a 1.8 kbp RNA "plasmid". The RFLP patterns produced
by the restriction enzyme HpaIIconsisted of a limited number of bands wich
were suitable for visual comparison, although 39 per cent of the strains
analysed produced indistinguishable patterns. Southern blots with poly (GT)
probe of BglII digests showed considerable variation and appeared to
provide an ideal method of discriminating between the M. pachydermatis
strains.

Summary: ELISAs were developed for studying the kinetics of
isotype-specific antibody responses in sera, nasal, ocular and genital
secretions of calves infected with bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1). The
BHV1-specific IgM and IgA antibodies were measured in antibody capture
assays, and the IgG1 and IgG2 antibodies in indirect double antibody
sandwich assays. The ELISAs were shown to be isotype-specific, sensitive
and reproducible. Antibodies of all isotypes were able to neutralise the
virus in vitro. Calves were infected intranasally with one of seven BHV1
field strains. Nine to 13 days after infection BHV1 specific antibodies of
the IgM isotype appeared in serum, nasal and ocular secretions and these
were detectable until four weeks after infection. The first IgA antibodies
were detected a few days later than the IgM antibodies. In serum the IgG
antibodies were no longer detectable after 3 weeks, but these did persist
for prolonged periods in mucosal sesretions. The calves developed a uniform
IgG1 response from 13 days after infection, but the IgG2 response was quite
variable, both persisted until the end of the experiment. No antibody
responses were detected in genital secretions. There were no marked
differences in isotype responses between calves infected with different
strains of BHV1.

Summary: Isotype-specific antibody responses to bovine herpesvirus 1
(BHV1) were measured in sera, nasal, ocular and genital secretions of
calves that were reinfected with BHV1 and 6 weeks later treated with
corticosteroids to reactivate putative latent virus. After reinfection and
after reactivation, no BHV1-specific IgM antibody response was detected.
The serum IgA response was only transiently detectable after reinfection
and again appeared rapidly after reactivation in most calves. Most calves
showed an increase in nasal and ocular IgA titres after reinfection and
reactivation, some calves also had IgA antibodies in genital secretions. A
salient finding was that after reinfection and reactivation more calves
showed a serum IgA response than shedding or an increase in serum IgG1 or
IgG2 titres. This suggest that the serum IgA response would be the most
sensitive indicator to detect BHV1 reinfectioon and reactivation. No
correlation was found between nasal IgA titre at the time of reinfection or
corticosteroid treatment and the period of virus shedding, suggesting that
nasal IgA does not play a major role in protection against renfection with
BHV1.
