Abstract

A bovine strain of myxovirus parainfluenza-3 (MP3) virus, designated S virus, was isolated from lung tissue collected from cattle with respiratory illness in 1963. The virus agglutinates mammalian and avian erythrocytes, and is sensitive to ether, sodium desoxycholate and trypsin. It grows in primary calf kidney, buffalo kidney, dog kidney, camel kidney and MS cell cultures. The S virus forms well-defined plaques in buffalo and calf kidney cells on the 5th or 6th day after inoculation. Examination of cell cultures following inoculation with S virus revealed giant cell formation, and introcytoplasmic and intranuclear inclusions. At 37°C the virus titer dropped from 1010.4 to 102.6 in 3 days. Virus was completely inactivated at 56°C within 15 minutes. Growth-curve studies in tissue culture monolayer cells revealed a latent period of 10 hours. The intracellular virus titer was slightly lower than that of extracellular virus. The isolate was identified as MP3 virus by serum neutralization and hemagglutination-inhibition tests. Antibodies (HI) to S virus were shown to be present in a significant proportion of Egyptian cattle. The epidemiological significance of MP3 (bovine strain) virus in U.A.R. is discussed.
