ABSTRACT
We report here the genome sequence of a bubaline herpesvirus 1 isolated from Indian water buffalo. The bubaline herpesvirus 1 strain S102_1 was isolated in 2021 from a Murrah buffalo heifer with clinical presentation of pustular vulvovaginitis.
ABSTRACT
Large-scale monitoring of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in livestock is imperative in an FMD control program. Detection of antibodies against non-structural proteins (NSP) of FMD virus (FMDV) is one of the best tools to estimate the prevalence of past infection; availability of such a well-validated test is therefore essential. Using a FMDV 3B protein-specific monoclonal antibody, we have developed a new NSP antibody blocking ELISA (10H9 bELISA) and validated it on large panels of sera from different susceptible species. The diagnostic sensitivity of the ELISA was 95% with a specificity of 98%, similar to the values found using a commercial kit (PrioCHECK FMD NS test). The 10H9 bELISA can be used in a broad range of FMD susceptible species making it a very useful tool in monitoring the foot-and-mouth disease control programs by detection of virus circulation in the vaccinated populations. KEY POINTS: ⢠A new ELISA for detection of foot and mouth disease (FMD) antibodies. ⢠Diagnostic sensitivity of 95% and specificity of 98%. ⢠Tested with panels of validated sera from broad host range.

The Pasteurella multocida subsp. multocida B:2 serotype causes hemorrhagic septicemia in bubalines with high morbidity and mortality in the Indian subcontinent. We report the draft genome sequence of Pasteurella multocida strain VTCCBAA264 isolated from the small-intestine of a buffalo calf that died of high fever.
