Molecular-genetic features of enteroviruses of pigs

Abstract

The purpose. To sum up results of long-term molecular-genetic probes of enteroviruses of pigs, their scientific and practical importance. Methods. Methods of analysis, consolidation and systematization are used. At probe of enteroviruses of pigs they used virologic methods. Results. As a result of study of antigenic properties of excreted enteroviruses, using collection of reference strains of Laboratory Pirbright, they revealed 14 new, before unknown, serotypes of enteroviruses of pigs, reference strains of which are protected by copyright certificates of the USSR. The results gained testify to the following: division by XI International congress on virology of enteroviruses of pigs on 2 genuses — Enterovirus and Teschovirus — is unreasonable and does not meet a reality. Conclusions. On the basis of the gained results the laboratory of immunogenetics of enteroviruses of pigs of Institute of veterinary medicine of NAAS has the right to troubleshoot enterovirus sicknesses of pigs, in particular Teshen sickness of pigs for what they developed sets of diagnosticums. The vaccine is developed for prophylaxis of enzootic encephalomyelitis (Teshen sickness) of pigs against Teshen sickness of pigs.
