Pascal HENDRIKS, Président de jury 1 2 RESUME Dans les Alpes du Sud de la France, des diminutions de populations de chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) ont été rapportées. Or, depuis une dizaine d’année, des pestivirus ont causé de fortes mortalités dans des populations d’isards des Pyrénées (Rupicapra pyrenaica). Bien que les signes cliniques associés à cette infection aient été caractérisés chez cette espèce, la pathogénie chez les animaux gestants est peu étudiée. De plus, des transmissions inter-espèces ont régulièrement été incriminées dans l’épidémiologie des pestiviroses ; ceci particulièrement au niveau des alpages où des contacts fréquents sont décrits entre ruminants sauvages et domestiques. Les objectifs de ce travail de thèse ont donc été, dans un premier temps, d’étudier la pathogénie de l’infection à pestivirus chez des isards et plus particulièrement ses effets sur la gestation. Dans un second temps, nous avons étudié l’épidémiologie de l’infection dans différentes zones de la région Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PACA), tout d’abord chez des ruminants sauvages, puis à l’interface entre les ruminants sauvages et domestiques partageant les mêmes alpages.

  • Influence of Border Disease Virus (BDV) on Serological Surveillance Within the Bovine Virus Diarrhea (BVD) Eradication Program in Switzerland V
    Kaiser et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2017) 13:21 DOI 10.1186/s12917-016-0932-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Influence of border disease virus (BDV) on serological surveillance within the bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) eradication program in Switzerland V. Kaiser1, L. Nebel1, G. Schüpbach-Regula2, R. G. Zanoni1* and M. Schweizer1* Abstract Background: In 2008, a program to eradicate bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) in cattle in Switzerland was initiated. After targeted elimination of persistently infected animals that represent the main virus reservoir, the absence of BVD is surveilled serologically since 2012. In view of steadily decreasing pestivirus seroprevalence in the cattle population, the susceptibility for (re-) infection by border disease (BD) virus mainly from small ruminants increases. Due to serological cross-reactivity of pestiviruses, serological surveillance of BVD by ELISA does not distinguish between BVD and BD virus as source of infection. Results: In this work the cross-serum neutralisation test (SNT) procedure was adapted to the epidemiological situation in Switzerland by the use of three pestiviruses, i.e., strains representing the subgenotype BVDV-1a, BVDV-1h and BDSwiss-a, for adequate differentiation between BVDV and BDV. Thereby the BDV-seroprevalence in seropositive cattle in Switzerland was determined for the first time. Out of 1,555 seropositive blood samples taken from cattle in the frame of the surveillance program, a total of 104 samples (6.7%) reacted with significantly higher titers against BDV than BVDV. These samples originated from 65 farms and encompassed 15 different cantons with the highest BDV-seroprevalence found in Central Switzerland. On the base of epidemiological information collected by questionnaire in case- and control farms, common housing of cattle and sheep was identified as the most significant risk factor for BDV infection in cattle by logistic regression.

  • Characterization of One Sheep Border Disease Virus in China Li Mao1,2, Xia Liu1,2, Wenliang Li1,2, Leilei Yang1,2, Wenwen Zhang1,2 and Jieyuan Jiang1,2*
    Mao et al. Virology Journal (2015) 12:15 DOI 10.1186/s12985-014-0217-9 RESEARCH Open Access Characterization of one sheep border disease virus in China Li Mao1,2, Xia Liu1,2, Wenliang Li1,2, Leilei Yang1,2, Wenwen Zhang1,2 and Jieyuan Jiang1,2* Abstract Background: Border disease virus (BDV) causes border disease (BD) affecting mainly sheep and goats worldwide. BDV in goat herds suffering diarrhea was recently reported in China, however, infection in sheep was undetermined. Here, BDV infections of sheep herds in Jiangsu, China were screened; a BDV strain was isolated and identified from the sheep flocks in China. The genomic characteristics and pathogenesis of this new isolate were studied. Results: In 2012, samples from 160 animals in 5 regions of Jiangsu province of China were screened for the presence of BDV genomic RNA and antibody by RT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. 44.4% of the sera were detected positively, and one slowly grown sheep was analyzed to be pestivirus RNA positive and antibody-negative. The sheep kept virus positive and antibody negative in the next 6 months of whole fattening period, and was defined as persistent infection (PI). The virus was isolated in MDBK cells without cytopathic effect (CPE) and named as JSLS12-01. Near-full-length genome sequenced was 12,227 nucleotides (nt). Phylogenetic analysis based on 5'-UTR and Npro fragments showed that the strain belonged to genotype 3, and shared varied homology with the other 3 BDV strains previously isolated from Chinese goats. The genome sequence of JSLS12-01 also had the highest homology with genotype BDV-3 (the strain Gifhorn).

Control measures are based on the elimination of PI lambs, biosecurity, and frequent vaccination which aims to prevent fetal infection and birth of PI. As there are no vaccines against BDV, farmers use vaccines directed against the related Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV). To date, there is no published evidence of cross-effectiveness of BVDV vaccination against BDV infection in sheep.
