Herpes simplex virus types land 2 specific immune sera, sera from convalescent and healthy humans, and bovine herpes mammillitis virus-specific hyperimmune sera showed cross-neutralization with the heterologous viruses. The antigenic relationship of these herpes viruses was confirmed with complement fixation, immunodiffusion and immunofluorescence tests. Bovine herpes mammillitis infection of test animals protected them against a fatal herpes simplex virus infection. The DNA of the bovine herpes mammillitis virus (63% guanadine + cytosine; G + C) shared about 14% base sequence homology with that of herpes simplex virus type 1 (66% G + C), whereas the genetic relatedness with the infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and pseudorabies virus was less than 8%.
Summary The Bovine Herpes Mammillitis (BHM) Virus causes local lesions (plaques) in cell cultures of bovine origin which originate from one infectious particle. The sensitivity and specificity of the plaque reduction test has been tested. The virus possesses a broad host range. It multiplies preferentially in bovine testes or bovine fetal skin cells in about 8 hrs. Résumé Test des plaques et propriétés biologiques du virus herpès mammillitis bovin (BHM) Le virus BHM provoque, en cultures de cellules d'origine bovine, des lésions locales (plaques), qui sont induites par une particule infectieuse. On examine la sensibilité et la spécificité du test de réduction des plaques. Le virus possède un large spectre d'hôtes. Il se multiplie principalement dans les cellules testiculaires bovines ou dans les cellules cutanées foetales des bovins, en huit heures environ. Resumen Prueba de los plaqués y propiedades biológicas del virus bovino herpético de la mamilitis (BHM) El virus BHM ocasionaba lesiones locales (plaqués) en cultivos celulares de crigen bovino, siendo provocadas por una partícula infecciosa. Se estudió la sensitividad y especificidad de la prueba de reducción de los plaqués. El virus dispone de un espectro amplio de anfitriones. Multiplícase, sobre todo, en células testiculares bovinas o cutáneas vacunas fetales en unas 8 horas. Zusammenfassung Plaquetest und biologische Eigenschaften des Bovinen Herpes Mammillitis (BHM) Virus Das BHM‐Virus verursacht lokale Läsionen (Plaques) in Zellkulturen bovinen Ursprungs, die von einem infektiösen Partikel hervorgerufen werden. Die Sensitivität und Spezifität des Plaque‐Reduktionstestes wurde geprüft. Das Virus besitzt ein breites Wirtsspektrum. Es vermehrt sich vor allem in bovinen Hoden‐ oder bovinen fetalen Hautzellen in etwa 8 Stunden.
