Abstract

Zoonotic Disease Pathogens in Fish Used for Pedicure

Highlights

  • Samples were removed from the remnants of the cerebrum, diencephalon, and organs, and 3 independent real-time PCR protocols were conducted to detect genomes of bovine viral diarrhea/ mucosal disease virus, bluetongue virus serotype 8, and the novel SBV

  • Unlike the viruses mentioned above [3,4], and provided this case is not an exception, the SBV genome seems to persist in the infected fetus and is detectable after birth by real-time reverse transcription PCR, despite gestation length

  • Reliable reagents for detecting seroconversion are temporarily unavailable, the persistence of the new virus in fetal tissue should greatly facilitate the epidemiologic monitoring of the emergence and spread of the new virus

Summary

Introduction

Samples were removed from the remnants of the cerebrum, diencephalon, and organs (thymus, lung, myocardium, jejunum, ileum, mesenteric lymph node, liver, spleen, kidney, and striated muscle), and 3 independent real-time PCR protocols were conducted to detect genomes of bovine viral diarrhea/ mucosal disease virus, bluetongue virus serotype 8, and the novel SBV.
