Herpes Virus Isolation Kit Development

Herpes viruses are a group of enveloped DNA viruses with similar biological properties and are classified as Herpesviridae. More than 100 species have been identified and are classified into three subfamilies: α, β, and γ, based on their physicochemical properties. α herpes viruses (e.g., pseudorabies virus, Marek's disease virus) proliferate rapidly and cause cytopathic lesions. β herpes viruses (e.g., murid betaherpesvirus 3, suid betaherpesvirus 2), have a long growth cycle and infect cells that form giant cells. γ herpes viruses (e.g., liquid gammaherpesvirus 5, felid gammaherpesvirus 1, bovine gammaherpesvirus 6), which infect target cells that are lymphocytes, can cause lymphoproliferation. Herpesviruses infect a wide range of hosts and can infect humans and other vertebrates.

When hosts are under stress, EHV is likely to become reactivated enabling hosts to shed virus and spread via different pathways; (A) transmission through direct contact with other animals; (B) indirect transmission through water; (C) indirect transmission via fecal matter; (D) indirect transmission by fomites (Dayaram, Anisha, et al. 2017).

Herpes Virus Isolation Kit Development

Herpes viruses mainly attack the skin, mucous membranes and nerve tissue. The sites of infection and the diseases caused are diverse, such as respiratory diseases, liver necrosis or hemorrhage, abortion, neonatal death and spinal encephalopathy, which seriously threaten animal health and cause huge economic losses to the livestock and poultry farming industries. Therefore, the development of an effective method for the isolation and identification of herpes viruses is crucial for the control and treatment of animal diseases. Virus isolation technique is a well-established method for virus identification and is regarded as the gold standard for virus diagnosis. At present, researchers have developed a variety of herpes virus isolation kits for the diagnosis of animal diseases.
