After nasopharyngeal infection, foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype A RNA is shed in bovine milk without associated mastitis.

ABSTRACT: Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious aphthoviral infection of cloven-hoofed animals, inducing vesiculopustular stomatitis, pododermatitis, and thelitis. Vesicular fluid represents a major pathway of virus excretion, but bovine milk is another important source of virus shedding. We describe here the time course of FMD virus (FMDV) excretion in the milk and characterize associated lesions in the mammary gland. Three dairy cows were infected by nasopharyngeal instillation of FMDV and monitored over 12 d. Autopsy was performed at the end of the study, and specimens were collected for histopathology, IHC, and RT-qPCR. All 3 cows developed fever, drooling, vesiculopustular stomatitis, interdigital dermatitis, and thelitis. FMDV RNA was detectable in whole milk until the end of the trial, but only transiently in saliva, nasal secretions, and blood serum. Although histology confirmed vesiculopustular lesions in the oral and epidermal specimens, the mammary glands did not have unequivocal evidence of FMDV-induced inflammation. FMDV antigen was detectable in skin and oral mucosa, but not in the mammary gland, and FMDV RNA was detectable in 9 of 29 samples of squamous epithelia but only in 1 of 12 samples of mammary gland.

Foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype A in Egypt.

Project description:We describe the characterization of a foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) serotype A virus responsible for recent outbreaks of disease in Egypt. Phylogenetic analysis of VP1 nucleotide sequences demonstrated a close relationship to recent FMD virus isolates from East Africa, rather than to viruses currently circulating in the Middle East.

Antigenic variation of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype A.

Project description:The current measures to control foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) include vaccination, movement control and slaughter of infected or susceptible animals. One of the difficulties in controlling FMD by vaccination arises due to the substantial diversity found among the seven serotypes of FMD virus (FMDV) and the strains within these serotypes. Therefore, vaccination using a single vaccine strain may not fully cross-protect against all strains within that serotype, and therefore selection of appropriate vaccines requires serological comparison of the field virus and potential vaccine viruses using relationship coefficients (r1 values). Limitations of this approach are that antigenic relationships among field viruses are not addressed, as comparisons are only with potential vaccine virus. Furthermore, inherent variation among vaccine sera may impair reproducibility of one-way relationship scores. Here, we used antigenic cartography to quantify and visualize the antigenic relationships among FMD serotype A viruses, aiming to improve the understanding of FMDV antigenic evolution and the scope and reliability of vaccine matching. Our results suggest that predicting antigenic difference using genetic sequence alone or by geographical location is not currently reliable. We found co-circulating lineages in one region that were genetically similar but antigenically distinct. Nevertheless, by comparing antigenic distances measured from the antigenic maps with the full capsid (P1) sequence, we identified a specific amino acid substitution associated with an antigenic mismatch among field viruses and a commonly used prototype vaccine strain, A22/IRQ/24/64.

Pandemic strain of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype O.

Project description:A particular genetic lineage of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype O, which we have named the PanAsia strain, was responsible for an explosive pandemic in Asia and extended to parts of Africa and Europe from 1998 to 2001. In 2000 and 2001, this virus strain caused outbreaks in the Republic of Korea, Japan, Russia, Mongolia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, France, and the Netherlands, countries which last experienced FMD outbreaks decades before (ranging from 1934 for Korea to 1984 for the Netherlands). Although the virus has been controlled in all of these normally FMD-free or sporadically infected countries, it appears to be established throughout much of southern Asia, with geographically separated lineages evolving independently. A pandemic such as this is a rare phenomenon but demonstrates the ability of newly emerging FMDV strains to spread rapidly throughout a wide region and invade countries previously free from the disease.

Variability of bovine milk EV measurements in health and subclinical mastitis

Project description:Mastitis, the inflammation of the mammary gland, is one of the most prevalent diseases in dairy farming worldwide. Unfortunately, the disease is most often present in a subclinical type with no clear symptoms. The sooner the infection is detected, the less opportunities for the disease to progress and the more treatment options remain available. Milk microRNA (miRNA) encapsulated in extracellular vesicles (EV) have been proposed as potential biomarkers of different mammary gland conditions, including subclinical mastitis. However, little is known about the robustness of EV analysis regarding sampling time-point or natural infections. In order to estimate the reliability of EV measurements in raw bovine milk, we first evaluated the changes in EV size, concentration and miRNA cargo during three consecutive days. Then, we compared milk EV differences from natural infected quarters with high somatic cell count (SCC) with their healthy adjacent quarters with low SCC and quarters from uninfected udders. We found that milk EV miRNA cargo is very stable along three days and that infected quarters do not induce relevant changes in milk EV of adjacent healthy quarters, making them suitable controls. We observed cow-individual changes in immunoregulatory miRNA in quarters with chronic subclinical mastitis, pointing towards infection-specific alterations. Finally, we proposed bta-miR-223 as a potential indicator of subclinical mastitis prognosis in raw milk.

Exploration of bovine milk exosomal microRNAs during Streptococcus uberis induced mastitis

Project description:Milk is an indispensable source of infant nutrition in all mammals, made up of complex constituents needed for infant nourishment and immunity. Comparison of miRNA profiles between infected and non-infected/control Holstein cattle could provide important information on the differences in composition of milk at the level of miRNA, if any, and broaden our perspective and understanding of the effect of pathology on cellular compositions and functions. In the present study we therefore analyzed the expression profiles of bovine milk exosomal miRNAs during S. uberis infection and identified 328 known miRNAs and 82 high-confidence miRNA candidates by deep sequencing. The top 10 miRNAs in both control and infected replicates accounted for approximately 80% of total counts, which were predicted to target 605 genes using two computational approaches. In addition, 15 significantly differentially expressed miRNAs were identified between control and infected replicates during S. uberis infection, and a total of 1,852 unique genes were predicted to be targeted by these miRNAs. Ingenuity Canonical Pathways and Diseases and Biological Function analyses using IPA indicated that the identified miRNAs targets mainly enriched in regulating the innate and adaptive immune responses in newborns, as well as infant growth and development. The characterization of these miRNAs could contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in lactation physiology and milk imparted immune function in the dairy cattle.

Comparative study of codon substitution patterns in foot-and-mouth disease virus (serotype O).

Project description:We compared genetic variations in the VP1 gene of foot-and-mouth disease viruses (FMDVs) isolated since 2000 from various region of the world. We analyzed relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) and phylogenetic relationship between geographical regions, and calculated the genetic substitution patterns between Korean isolate and those from other countries. We calculated the ratios of synonymously substituted codons (SSC) to all observed substitutions and developed a new analytical parameter, EMC (the ratio of exact matching codons within each synonymous substitution group) to investigate more detailed substitution patterns within each synonymous codon group. We observed that FMDVs showed distinct RSCU patterns according to phylogenetic relationships in the same serotype (serotype O). Moreover, while the SSC and EMC values of FMDVs decreased according to phylogenetic distance, G + C composition at the third codon position was strictly conserved. Although there was little variation among the SSC values of 18 amino acids, more dynamic differences were observed in EMC values. The EMC values of 4- and 6-fold degenerate amino acids showed significantly lower values while most 2-fold degenerate amino acids showed no significant difference. Our findings suggest that different EMC patterns among the 18 amino acids might be an important factor in determining the direction of evolution in FMDV.

Immunoproteomics to identify Staphylococcus aureus antigens expressed in bovine milk during mastitis.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen affecting both human and animal species. An effective vaccine to prevent S. aureus bovine disease and transmission would have positive effects on animal well-being, food production, and human health. The objective of this study was to identify multiple antigens that are immunoreactive during udder colonization and disease for exploration as vaccine antigens to prevent bovine mastitis. Staphylococcus aureus produces several cell wall-anchored and surface-associated virulence factors that play key roles in the pathogenesis of mastitis. Many of these proteins are conserved between different strains of S. aureus and represent promising vaccine candidates. We used an immunoproteomics approach to identify antigenic proteins from the surface of S. aureus. The expression of cell wall and surface proteins from S. aureus was induced under low iron conditions, followed by trypsin extraction and separation by 2-dimensional electrophoresis. The separated proteins were blotted with antibodies from mastitic bovine milk and identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Thirty-eight unique proteins were identified, of which 8 were predicted to be surface exposed and involved in S. aureus virulence. Two surface proteins, iron-regulated surface determinant protein C (IsdC) and ESAT-6 secretion system extracellular protein (EsxA), were cloned, expressed, and purified from Escherichia coli for confirmation of immune reactivity by ELISA. A PCR of 37 bovine S. aureus isolates indicated that the presence of esxA and isdC is conserved, and amino acid alignments revealed that IsdC and EsxA sequences are highly conserved. The immunoproteomics technique used in this study generated reproducible results and identified surface exposed and reactive antigens for further characterization.
