Abstract
Pregnant Merino ewes were inoculated intravenously between days 63 and 65 of gestation with a non-cytopathogenic (ncp) bovine-virus diarrhoea-virus (BVDV) isolate (experiment A). The histomorphological findings and the distribution of viral antigen, as revealed by immunohistochemistry in brains of fetuses from experiment A, were compared with those seen in fetal brains from a previous study (experiment B), in which pregnant ewes had been intravenously infected between days 65 and 68 of gestation with the cytopathogenic (cp) BVDV strain Indiana. The two viruses showed remarkable variations concerning their pathogenicity for the developing fetal brain. The cp BVDV had a much higher neuropathogenic potential than the ncp BVDV and induced severe intracranial malformations in most fetuses. In experiment A, exclusively relatively mild leucoencephalomalacic lesions occurred. Between fetuses of the two experiments, significant differences concerning the distribution of viral antigen and the inflammatory response were found. In the majority of fetal brains from experiment B examined at days 10, 14 and 21 post inoculation (p.i.), antigen-containing differentiated brain cells (neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes) and undifferentiated ce...Continue Reading
