Lumpy skin disease is an economically important poxvirus disease of cattle. Vaccination is the main method of control but sporadic outbreaks have been reported in Turkey. This study was carried out to determine the changes in serum biochemical values of cattle naturally infected with lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). For this study, blood samples in EDTA, serum samples, and nodular skin lesions were obtained from clinically infected animals (n=15) whereas blood samples in EDTA and serum samples were collected from healthy animals (n=15). A quantitative real-time PCR method was used to detectCapripoxvirus(CaPV) DNA in clinical samples. A real-time PCR high-resolution melt assay was performed to genotype CaPVs. Serum cardiac, hepatic, and renal damage markers and lipid metabolism products were measured by autoanalyzer. LSDV nucleic acid was detected in all samples which were obtained from clinically infected cattle. The results of serum biochemical analysis showed that aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, and creatinine concentrations were markedly increased in serum from infected animals. However, there were no significant differences in the other biochemical parameters evaluated. The results of the current study suggest that liver and kidney failures occur during LSDV infection. These findings may help in developing effective treatment strategies in LSDV infection.

Η χρήση ζωντανών εμβολίων ελαττωμένης λοιμογόνου δύναμης με στέλεχος Neethling, για την ανοσοποίηση των βοοειδών έναντι του ιού της οζώδους δερματίτιδας των βοοειδών (Lumpy skin disease virus, LSDV), συσχετίζεται με την εμφάνιση σε ένα ποσοστό ζώων, μικρών δερματικών επιφανειακών οζιδίων, που προσoμοιάζουν με τα οζίδια του νοσήματος. Οι ανεπιθύμητες αντιδράσεις στο εμβόλιο επιβάλλουν τη διάκριση των επιζωοτικών (άγριων στελεχών του ιού που προκαλούν επιζωοτία) και εμβολιακών στελεχών του LSDV για την επιτήρηση σε εκτροφές που εφαρμόστηκε εμβολιασμός, ώστε να διασφαλίζεται η στοχευμένη θανάτωση των ζώων που νοσούν. Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η αλληλούχιση ολόκληρου του γονιδιώματος του ελληνικού επιζωοτικού στελέχους LSDV, η ανάπτυξη νέων διαγνωστικών μεθόδων real-time PCR για την επιτήρηση σε εκτροφές που εφαρμόζεται εμβολιασμός και η διερεύνηση της παρεχόμενης παθητικής ανοσίας στους μόσχους. Αλληλουχήθηκε το επιζωοτικό LSDV στέλεχος Evros/GR/15 σε ολόκληρο το γονιδίωμα και ταυτοποιήθηκαν οι διαφορές με την αλληλουχία αναφοράς και με άλλα επιζωοτικά LSDV στελέχη. Τέλος, αναγνωρίστηκαν οι κατάλληλες περιοχές του γονιδιώματος του Evros/GR/15 που μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν για τον σχεδιασμό real-time PCR μεθόδων. Στη συνέχεια έγινε ανάπτυξη και επικύρωση μιας νέας διαγνωστικής μεθόδου DIVA real-time PCR για τη διάκριση των επιζωοτικών και εμβολιακών στελεχών του LSDV. Η νέα μέθοδος σχεδιάστηκε στοχεύοντας το γονίδιο GPCR και αξιολογήθηκε ως πολύ ειδική και ευαίσθητη μοριακή μέθοδος. Η DIVA real-time PCR είναι μέθοδος εκλογής για την επιτήρηση σε εκτροφές που εφαρμόζεται εμβολιασμός και η εφαρμογή της δίνει τη δυνατότητα της γρήγορης διαφορικής διάγνωσης ανάμεσα στα περιστατικά της νόσου και στα περιστατικά αντιδράσεων στα εμβόλια. Περαιτέρω, στα πλαίσια της διατριβής πραγματοποιήθηκε η ανάπτυξη μιας δεύτερης διαγνωστικής μεθόδου real-time PCR για την ανίχνευση των επιζωοτικών στελεχών του LSDV στοχεύοντας το γονίδιο EEV του LSDV, με την ταυτόχρονη ανίχνευση ενδογενούς μάρτυρα β-ακτίνης. Σε ζώα με αντίδραση στο εμβόλιο, όπου εντοπίζονται υψηλοί τίτλοι του εμβολιακού LSDV στελέχους, η μέθοδος παρέχει τη δυνατότητα ανίχνευσης πολύ μικρών συγκεντρώσεων του επιζωοτικού LSDV, καθιστώντας δυνατό τον έλεγχο της αφανούς κυκλοφορίας του επιζωοτικού LSDV που θα μπορούσε εν δυνάμει να καλυφθεί κατά τους εμβολιασμούς. Τέλος, για πρώτη φορά εκτιμήθηκε ο τίτλος και η διάρκεια των μητρικών εξουδετερωτικών αντισωμάτων έναντι του εμβολιακού Neethling LSDV στελέχους, σε μόσχους εμβολιασμένων αγελάδων ελληνικής εκτροφής. Διαπιστώθηκε ότι, ο μεγαλύτερος αριθμός των μόσχων δεν προστατεύεται από τη μητρική ανοσία μέσω του πρωτογάλακτος μετά τον 3ο μήνα και πιθανόν και μετά το 2ο μήνα της ζωής τους, καθώς μόνο σε μόσχους με υψηλούς τίτλους εξουδετερωτικών αντισωμάτων την 3η ημέρα της ζωής τους, η μητρική ανοσία διήρκεσε μέχρι την 90η ημέρα. Από τα ευρήματα αυτά προκύπτει ότι οι ισχύουσες κατευθυντήριες οδηγίες για την ηλικία έναρξης των εμβολιασμών κατά της οζώδους δερματίτιδας των βοοειδών θα πρέπει να αναθεωρηθούν, ώστε να μειωθεί ο πληθυσμός των ευπαθών στη μόλυνση βοοειδών και να διασφαλιστεί η αποτελεσματικότητα των μέτρων ελέγχου της νόσου στην Ελλάδα και την Ευρώπη.

Abstract Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an important disease of cattle which is included in the OIE list of notifiable terrestrial animal diseases because of its great economic importance. The etiological agent is the Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). In the control of LSD attenuated strains of LSDV and SPPV are successfully used as vaccine strains in infected areas. In the case of vaccination policy, due to the possibility of mild or systemic post-vaccination reactions in vaccinated animals, the application of diagnostic procedures that will rapidly and specifically differentiate LSDV field strains from LSD vaccine virus strains are extremely important. Rapidity in diagnostics and disposal of infected animals is one of the key factors in the prevention of spreading the disease. In the presented study we have described the development and validation of two real-time TaqMan-PCR assays for a rapid, sensitive and specific detection of the virulent field LSDV strain currently circulating in the Balkan Peninsula. Specificity for the field strain and exclusivity for vaccine strains was tested on 171 samples from naturally infected and vaccinated animals. The results of this study show that both developed real-time PCR assays are more sensitive than the conventional nested PCR in detecting field LSDV strains thus enabling rapid and high-throughput detection of animals infected with field strains of LSDV. In conclusion, both KV-2 and FLI real-time PCR assays described in this study are simple, rapid, sensitive and suitable for routine use in a diagnostic laboratory and have the potential to replace conventional nested gel-based PCR assays as the standard procedure for the detection of field strains of LSDV in clinical samples.

Vaccines form the cornerstone of any control, eradication and preventative strategy and this is no different for lumpy skin disease. However, the usefulness of a vaccine is determined by a multiplicity of factors which include stability, efficiency, safety and ease of use, to name a few. Although the vaccination campaign in the Balkans against lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) was successful and has been implemented with success in the past in other countries, data of vaccine failure have also been reported. It was therefore the purpose of this study to compare five homologous live attenuated LSDV vaccines (LSDV LAV) in a standardized setting. All five LSDV LAVs studied were able to protect against a challenge with virulent LSDV. Aside from small differences in serological responses, important differences were seen in side effects such as a local reaction and a Neethling response upon vaccination between the analyzed vaccines. These observations can have important implications in the applicability in the field for some of these LSDV LAVs.

Abstract Background Animal vaccination is an important way to stop the spread of diseases causing immense damage to livestock and economic losses and the potential transmission to humans. Therefore effective method for vaccine production using simple and inexpensive bioprocessing solutions is very essential. Conventional culture systems currently in use, tend to be uneconomic in terms of labor and time involved. Besides, they offer a limited surface area for growth of cells. In this study, the CelCradle™-500A was evaluated as an alternative to replace conventional culture systems in use such as Cell factories for the production of viral vaccines against small ruminant morbillivirus (PPR), rift valley fever virus (RVF) and lumpy skin disease virus (LSD). Results Two types of cells Vero and primary Lamb Testis cells were used to produce these viruses. The study was done in 2 phases as a) optimization of cell growth and b) virus cultivation. Vero cells could be grown to significantly higher cell densities of 3.04 × 109 using the CelCradle™-500A with a shorter doubling time as compared to 9.45 × 108 cells in Cell factories. This represents a 19 fold increase in cell numbers as compared to seeding vs only 3.7 fold in Cell factories. LT cells achieved modestly higher cell densities of 6.7 × 108 as compared to 6.3 × 108 in Cell factories. The fold change in densities for these cells was 3 fold in the CelCradle™-500A vs 2.5 fold in Cell factories. The titers in the conventional system and the bioreactor were not significantly different. However, the Cell-specific virus yield for rift valley fever virus and lumpy skin disease virus are higher (25 virions/cell for rift valley fever virus, and 21.9 virions/cell for lumpy skin disease virus versus 19.9 virions/cell for rift valley fever virus and 10 virions/cell for lumpy skin disease virus). Conclusions This work represents a novel study for primary lamb testis cell culture in CellCradle™-500A bioreactors. In addition, on account of the high cell densities obtained and the linear scalability the titers could be further optimized using other culture process such us perfusion.
