Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of Porcine Circovirus-like Viruses from Pigs with a Wasting Disease in the USA and Europe:
Gordon Allan,F. McNeilly,S. Kennedy,B. M. Daft,E. G. Clarke,John Ellis,Deborah M. Haines,Brian M. Meehan,B. M. Adair +8 more
TL;DR: Although genomic analysis for the definitive identification of these viral isolates remains to be done, the evidence provided strongly suggests that these tissue isolates are closely related to, although antigenically distinct from, the original PCV cell culture contaminant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogenesis of porcine circovirus; experimental infections of colostrum deprived piglets and examination of pig foetal material.
Gordon Allan,Francis McNeilly,Joseph P. Cassidy,G. A. C. Reilly,B. M. Adair,William Ellis,M.S. McNulty +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that transplacental infection with PCV does occur, possibly prior to foetal immunocompetance, however, it is probably not a significant cause of reproductive disorders in pigs in Northern Ireland.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro studies on the infection and replication of porcine circovirus type 2 in cells of the porcine immune system.
Deirdre Gilpin,Kenneth C. McCullough,Brian M. Meehan,Francis McNeilly,I. McNair,Leanne Stevenson,J.C. Foster,John A. Ellis,S. Krakowka,B. M. Adair,Gordon Allan +10 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that in vivo, monocytic cells may not represent the primary target for PCV2 replication, and that infectious virus, viral antigen and viral DNA persisted in the cells for at least the duration of the experiment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of chicken enterovirus-like viruses, duck hepatitis virus type 2 and duck hepatitis virus type 3 as astroviruses.
TL;DR: Characterization involved the use of a hitherto undescribed, degenerate primer-based reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to amplify astrovirus open reading frame (ORF) 1b-specific cDNA fragments followed by nucleotide sequence determination and analysis of the amplified fragments.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry for the detection of a new porcine circovirus in formalin-fixed tissues from pigs with post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS)
Francis McNeilly,S. Kennedy,D. Moffett,Brian M. Meehan,J.C. Foster,E.G. Clarke,John A. Ellis,Deborah Haines,B. M. Adair,Gordon Allan +9 more
TL;DR: In this study, in situ hybridisation and immunohistochemical protocols were developed, optimized and compared for their relative sensitivity in detecting PCV2 antigens and nucleic acid in tissues from cases of PMWS that had been fixed for up to 6 months in formalin.
