An outbreak of abortion affecting multiparous cows was associated with Hobi-like pestivirus infection. Viral RNA and antigens were detected in the tissues of two aborted fetuses. Molecular assays for other common abortogenic agents tested negative. At the genetic level, the Hobi-like pestivirus displayed the closest relatedness to Italian, Australian, and South American viruses, whereas it diverged from the prototype Thai isolate. These findings may have important implications for the pestivirus control/eradication programs in cattle herds.
一起涉及经产奶牛的流产暴发与霍比样猪瘟病毒感染相关。在 2 头流产胎儿的组织中检测到了病毒 RNA 和抗原。针对其他常见致流产病原体的分子检测均为阴性。在遗传水平上,该霍比样猪瘟病毒与意大利、澳大利亚和南美洲的病毒最为密切相关,而与泰国原型株存在差异。这些发现可能对牛群中的猪瘟病毒控制/根除计划具有重要意义。
