Sikhote-Alin virus, a new member of the cardiovirus group (Picornaviridae) isolated from Ixodes persulcatus ticks in Primorie Region.

A virus, designated Sikhote-Alin, was isolated in 1970 from Ixodes persulcatus ticks collected from a wild boar in the Primorie region (U.S.S.R.) Sikhote-Alin virus showed no haemagglutinating activity and no antigenic relationships with arboviruses of 12 antigenic groups, 17 ungrouped tick-borne arboviruses, porcine enteroviruses and coxsackie A (types 1-18) viruses. An one-way antigenic relationship was demonstrated by complement fixation with cardioviruses (Mengo and Columbia-SK strains). The virus contains RNA, is resistant to lipid solvents, highly thermostable in the presence of 1 M MgCl2 and its size is over 20 nm but less than 25 nm. All these properties make it possible to consider it as a new member of the cardiovirus group (genus Enterovirus; Picornaviridae).

Animal Population Groups

[Properties of the influenza viruses isolated in 1976 from gulls in Astrakhan Province].

Investigation of a number of properties of influenza viruses isolated from Laridae birds in the Astrakhan region showed that in one epizootic focus avian influenza viruses with different hemagglutinins and identical neuraminidase may circulate among Laridae birds. Among viruses with the antigenic formula Hav5Nav2 clear-cut differences in virulence and plaque-forming capacity were demonstrated.

Animals

[Antigenic determinants of the hexon of bovine adenovirus type 3].

Radioimmunoprecipitation of cattle adenovirus type 3 revealed in its hexon a determinant of narrow specificity (species-specific or subgenus-specific), intersubgenus-specific (common for cattle adenovirus subgroups 1 and 2), genus-specific (common for mammalian adenoviruses) and intergeneric (common for mammalian and avian adenoviruses) antigenic determinants.

Adenoviridae

[Characteristics of intranuclear inclusions formed during the reproduction of bovine adenoviruses].

A cytomorphological method was used to study the reproduction of bovine adenoviruses: Ad bos 1 - Ad bos 3, belonging to the serological subgroup I, and Ad bos 4, Ad bos 5, Ad bos 7, Ad bos 8, belonging to the serological subgroup II, and those isolated from animal adenoviruses N18 and N3056. Cytomorphological method is supposed to be used not only for revealing bovine adenoviruses but also for determining preliminarily their subgroup belonging.
