ABSTRACT

Foi realizado um estudo para determinar a ocorrência de infecçäo por rotavírus em rebanhos bovinos leiteiros. Foram analisadas 375 amostras de fezes de bezerros, na faixa etária 1 a 45 dias, provenientes de animais pertencentes a nove propriedades rurais, situadas em seis municípios da regiäo nordeste do Estado de Sao Paulo. Destas, 193 pertenciam a animais com diarréia e 182 foram obtidas de animais clinicamente sadios. As técnicas utilizadas para a detecçäo de rotavírus foram o ensaio imunoenzimático (EIE) e a eletroforese em gel de poliacrilamida (EGPA). Por meio do EIE foram detectadas 11,2 por cento (42/375) de amostras positivas, 15 por cento delas (29/193) obtidas de animais com diarréia e 7,1 por cento (13/182) colhidas de animais sem diarréia. A análise do perfil do genoma indicou a presença de seis eletroferótipos distintos, característicos de rotavírus do grupo A. Um único eletroferótipo foi detectado em três rebanhos, o qual permaneceu constante durante o período de amostragem. Em dois rebanhos diferentes eletroferótipos foram detectados, embora com maior prevalência de um dado perfil. A caracterizaçäo das amostras positivas em subgrupos foi realizada por meio do EIE com "duplo sanduíche", utilizando-se anticorpos monoclonais (MAb) específicos para antígenos de subgrupo (I e II). Foram caracterizadas como subgrupo I 52,4 por cento (22/42) das amostras testadas, nenhuma reagiu com MAb de subgrupo II, enquanto as demais, 47,6 por cento (20/42), näo reagiram com nenhum dos dois subgrupos

ABSTRACT

Group A rotavirus, obtained from children of Goiânia, Brazil, during 1987-1994, were analyzed for subgroup and G serotype by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with monoclonal antibodies. The index of serotyping obtained was 61.4% with the following proportions: G1--19.7%, G2--28.0%, G3--9.8%, G4--1.5%, and G5--2.3%. It was observed that G1 occurred from 1987 to 1989 and from 1993 to 1994, and G2 from 1990 to 1993. About 94% of the samples (85/90) could be subgrouped with the following results: 55.5% for SG II, 7.8% SG I, and 31.1% for SG non-I-non-II. Unusual relationship patterns were also detected among serotypes, subgroups, and profiles of electropherotypes in 57.0% of the samples: 20 of them were G2/SG II/"long" profile. The results suggest that variation in temporal and regional characteristics should be considered in the development of rotavirus vaccine.

ABSTRACT

Crude extracts of leaves and fruits of Guarea guidona were tested antiviral activity against pseudorabies virus and foot-and-mouth disease virus in the IB-RS-2 pig cell line and against bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) in the GBK bovine Cell line. The highest nontoxic doses of extracts from fruits and leaves were 125 mug/ml and 500 mug/ml, respectively. Crude extracts presented antiviral activity against pseudorabies virus with a decrease in virus titer of 3.0 log units at 500 mug/ml. Virucidal activity was not observed at 62.5 mug/ml. Preformed cell monolayers showed no cytotoxic effect after 48 h in the presence of 500 mug/ml in pig cells. G. guidona leaves did not induce an antiviral state but exhibited antiviral effects during the early stage of viral infection.
