Abstract
Type 2 canine parvovirus (CPV2) infection is one of the most frequent causes of death in the young, susceptible canine populations worldwide. Since its emergence in the 1970s, several variants have been described. In the present study the authors describe the genetic analysis of 24 Hungarian CPV2 strains collected from 2004 to 2008. Surprisingly, the genetic and phylogenetic investigations of all these strains revealed that all of them were type 2a CPVs. On the other hand, the genetic analysis provided substantial evidence to demonstrate that due to a seemingly constant point mutation present in most of the Hungarian CPV2a strains, a previously described MboII-based rapid identification of CPV2c strains unfortunately cannot be reliably used any more.

Abstract
To improve the detection and molecular identification of infectious bronchitis virus (avian coronavirus), two reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays were developed. As 'diagnostic#10; PCR', a set of consensus nested primers was selected from highly conserved stretches of the nucleocapsid (N) gene. As 'phylogeny' PCR, a fragment of the spike protein gene (S1) was amplified and the PCR products were directly sequenced. To study the phylogenetic relationships of the viruses from various outbreaks, studies of molecular epizootiology were performed in Sweden, a Nordic region, where the occurrence of natural cases of the disease is relatively low and the occasional use of live vaccine(s) is well recorded and monitored. The disease appeared in the region in 1994, associated with production problems among layers of various ages. During outbreaks in 1995 and 1997, both layers and broilers were affected. To reduce losses, a live attenuated vaccine has been applied since 1997. By examining 12 cases between 1994 and 1998, molecular epizootiology revealed that, before 1997, the viruses had gene sequences very similar to strains of the Massachusetts serotype. However, comparative sequence analysis of the S1 gene revealed that the identity was not 100% to any of the strains of this serotype that we analysed. A virus related to the Dutch-type strain, D274, was also identified on one farm. Surprisingly, from 1997, the year that vaccination commenced with a live Massachusetts serotype vaccine, the majority of viruses detected had S1 sequences identical to the live Massachusetts vaccine strain. This genetic relation to the vaccine virus was also confirmed by N gene sequence analysis. The studies of molecular epizootiology reveal a strong probability that the vaccination had lead to the spread of the vaccine virus, causing various disease manifestations and a confusing epizootiological situation in the poultry population.

Abstract
The conformational diversity of the (3R,4S,8R,9R)-9-[(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl))-thiourea](9-deoxy)-epi-cinchonine organocatalyst is discussed. Low-temperature NMR experiments confirmed a self-association process, which promotes the quinoline rotation between two intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded monomeric conformers of the catalyst. The balanced population of the coexisting monomeric and dimeric species allowed us to conduct a structural study of a rather complex conformational dynamics of the pure catalyst. The study is extended by a comparison with other members of the bifunctional amine-thiourea organocatalyst family. Changes in the molecular structure of the catalysts influence the interplay between intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding, and yield different extent of catalyst self-association. By assessing the conformation of the individual states, we established the thermodynamic model of a self-association promoted conformational transition.

Abstract
The impact of cooperativity between intermolecular interactions is demonstrated by the molecular self-recognition properties of highly enantioselective epi-cinchona bifunctional thiourea organocatalysts. Low-temperature NMR experiments in inert solvents have revealed two sets of nonequivalent resonances in equal population for thiourea-modified members of the epi-quinine and epi-quinidine families. In solution, the predominance of an asymmetric (C1) dimeric self-assembly with noteworthy structural motifs became evident: simultaneous intra- and intermolecular thiourea hydrogen bonding and a CH/pi interaction were observed. Both the stereochemical and the diverse conformational features of the system favor the observed quinoline T-shaped aromatic pi-pi stacking interaction. The structure findings are supported by quantitative proton-proton distance data that were available from NOE buildup curves. The 3D structure of the dimeric assembly has been modeled in agreement with the H-H distance restraints. Owing to the geometrical preference associated with the dimerization process, the self-assembled bifunctional system is interpreted as a charge-transfer complex with the potential for catalyst self-activation.

Abstract
The mechanism of enantioselective Michael addition of acetylacetone to a nitroolefin catalyzed by a thiourea-based chiral bifunctional organocatalyst is investigated using density functional theory calculations. A systematic conformational analysis is presented for the catalyst, and it is shown that both substrates coordinate preferentially via bidentate hydrogen bonds. The deprotonation of the enol form of acetylacetone by the amine of the catalyst is found to occur easily, leading to an ion pair characterized by multiple H-bonds involving the thiourea unit as well. Two distinct reaction pathways are explored toward the formation of the Michael product that differ in the mode of electrophile activation. Both reaction channels are shown to be consistent with the notion of noncovalent organocatalysis in that the transition states leading to the Michael adduct are stabilized by extensive H-bonded networks. The comparison of the obtained energetics for the two pathways allows us to propose an alternative mechanistic rationale for asymmetric C-C bond forming reactions catalyzed by bifunctional thiourea derivatives. The origin of enantioselectivity in the investigated reaction is also discussed.

Abstract
Twelve vaccine batches prepared from avirulent vaccine strains of Newcastle disease virus produced by seven manufacturers were identified by analysis of the matrix (M) protein gene with restriction enzymes MboI and HinfI. The analyses have revealed the presence of the strain indicated by the manufacturers (namely B-1, LaSota or Ulster 2C), except in one case when the vaccine contained strain V4 Queensland instead of VGGA as indicated. In addition, several batches of both monovalent and combined vaccines containing strain LaSota of the same company consistently disclosed contamination with strain B-1. The mixed nature of the preparations was verified not only by the dual patterns of restriction fragments but also by separating the two components and identifying them individually. Restriction analysis of the M gene, by allowing positive identification of each of the lentogenic vaccine strains, should provide an improvement in controlling vaccine batches by revealing homologous contaminants or exchange of the vaccine strain.

Abstract
2-Arylsulfanyl and 2-benzylsulfanylpyridinium N-arylimides (2) easily prepared from 3-aryltetrazolopyridinium salts (1) with aryl and benzylthiolates, respectively, reacted with various dipolarophiles yielding cycloadducts that underwent transformation to give tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridines (5, 6, and 8) in good yields. A similar rearrangement (formation of 15) was also observed in the case of parent derivatives being unsubstituted in position 2 (12). The abscence of any significant solvent effect, comparison of the sulfur and non-sulfur analogues, as well as the stereoselective nature of the observed ring transformation seem to support a sigmatropic mechanism. Structure elucidation of the products has been carried out by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and (1)H NMR experiments.

Abstract
This study advances strategy and design in catalysts and reagents for fluorous and supercritical CO(2) chemistry by defining the structural requirements for insulating a typical active site from a perfluoroalkyl segment. The vertical ionization potentials of the phosphines P((CH(2))(m)R(f8))(3) (m = 2 (2) to 5 (5)) are measured by photoelectron spectroscopy, and the enthalpies of protonation by calorimetry (CF(3)SO(3)H, CF(3)C(6)H(5)). They undergo progressively more facile (energetically) ionization and protonation (P(CH(2)CH(3))(3) > 5 > 4 approximately equal to P(CH(3))(3) > 3 > 2), as expected from inductive effects. Equilibrations of trans-Rh(CO)(Cl)(L)(2) complexes (L = 2, 3) establish analogous Lewis basicities. Density functional theory is used to calculate the structures, energies, ionization potentials, and gas-phase proton affinities (PA) of the model phosphines P((CH(2))(m)()CF(3))(3) (2'-9'). The ionization potentials of 2'-5' are in good agreement with those of 2-5, and together with PA values and analyses of homodesmotic relationships are used to address the title question. Between 8 and 10 methylene groups are needed to effectively insulate a perfluoroalkyl segment from a phosphorus lone pair, depending upon the criterion employed. Computations also show that the first carbon of a perfluoroalkyl segment exhibits a much greater inductive effect than the second, and that ionization potentials of nonfluorinated phosphines P((CH(2))(m)CH(3))(3) reach a limit at approximately nine carbons (m = 8).

Abstract
The pathogenesis of infection induced by cytopathogenic isolates from the newly identified genetic cluster Id of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) type I was studied in two experimental infections of previously seronegative, immunocompetent calves. Experiment 1 focused on the evaluation of clinical patterns, viremia, and serological responses. All infected calves in this experiment developed respiratory symptoms and seroconverted to BVDV positivity. Contact calves also contracted a respiratory tract infection following exposure to infected animals. Viremia was demonstrated between postinfection days 2 and 17, and the virus was detected in organ specimens of all but one each of the infected and contact calves. In experiment 2, the distribution of BVDV in various tissues of calves euthanized at defined days postinfection was studied. In two of these calves recurrent shedding of BVDV in nasal secretions was shown. BVDV was detected in various tissues of all infected calves throughout the experiment and also following seroconversion and the clearance of BVDV from the circulatory system. Despite the widespread distribution of the virus in various organs, significant tissue damage was found mainly in respiratory tract and lymphoid tissues. These experiments revealed that viruses from cluster Id of BVDV are able to induce primary respiratory disease in previously seronegative, immunocompetent calves. Contact transmission and virus recurrence, contrary to observations from acute experimental infections with noncytopathogenic BVDV, are likely to reflect differences in biological features of these cytopathogenic isolates. Virus shedding and its presence in tissues following peripheral clearance and in the presence of antibodies may have implications in the diagnosis, pathogenesis, and epidemiology of BVDV-induced syndromes in cattle.

[1,2,3]Triazolo[1,5-a]quinolinium (7), [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-b]isoquinolinium (8), and [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazinium salts (9) when heated in trifluoroacetic acid and/or 1,2-dichlorobenzene undergo valence bond isomerization to ring-opened reactive intermediates (e.g., 8 gave 13) which can participate in (i) electrophilic substitution as nitrenium cations to yield pyrazole- and indazole-fused new heterocycles (e.g., from 13, 14, and 15 are formed), (ii) pseudoelectrocyclization (e.g., intermediate 19c leads to the pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazine 21), or (iii) in nucleophilic addition as carbenium cations (e.g., 1 gave the methoxy-substituted adduct 22 when heated in methanol). Comparison of these and some recent results reveals that this ring opening of fused [1,2,3]triazolium salts is a general phenomenon and is closely related to the well-known retro-electrocyclizations (called "1,5-dipolar cyclizations") of neutral fused [1,2,3]triazoles and tetrazoles.

Abstract
Four Merino lambs were intranasally inoculated with bovine herpesvirus type 5 (BHV-5) reference strain N569. Two lambs were mock-inoculated as negative controls. The virus-inoculated animals developed apathy, inappetence, rhinitis, nasal, ocular and genital discharge, slight diarrhea and neurological disorders, like tremor and salivation. BHV-5 was isolated from the nasal discharge in two of the animals, while the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detected the virus in all the infected lambs. Two lambs died on post infection day (PID) 13, while the other two infected animals were euthanized on PID 15 and 30. Gross pathological changes were not observed, however, histopathological examinations revealed diffuse nonsuppurative meningo-encephalitis in all infected animals. Viral antigen was detected by immunohistochemistry and viral nucleic acid was revealed by in situ hybridization in the brain of the two lambs, which died on PID 13. The virus was demonstrated by virus isolation and by PCR from different organs of all the infected animals. Slight rise of antibodies was observed in the infected animals from PID 15. The results show that BHV-5 is able to cross the species barrier and may establish infection in sheep.

Abstract
To estimate the potency of a porcine parvovirus (PPV) vaccine, three vaccinated and three non-vaccinated pregnant gilts were infected with PPV and the distribution of the virus was studied in the tissues of their 51 fetuses. Virus detection was attempted using haemagglutination (HA) and immunofluorescence (IF) assays, as well as by standard (single) and nested polymerase chain reactions (PCR). None of the detection methods yielded positive results when used to test for the presence of virus in suspensions of organs from the fetuses from the vaccinated gilts. However, the virus was detected in the fetuses from non-vaccinated gilts as follows: HA was positive in 14 cases out of 23 (60.8%), IF in 16/23 (69.5%), standard PCR in 12/20 (60%), and the nested PCR in 19/23 (82.6%). Although the correlation among the results of various methods of virus detection was rather close (r < 0.83), the sensitivity of the nested PCR was the highest, both when testing dilutions of PPV and when analysing the fetal organs. The nested PCR therefore provides a reliable approach for studies of virus distribution in fetal organs, with special reference to potency tests on vaccines.

Abstract
An immunostimulating complex (iscom) containing the envelope proteins of pseudorabies virus (PRV) was prepared and its efficacy was evaluated in two experiments on sheep. In the first experiment, sheep were intramuscularly (i.m.) or intradermally (i.d.) vaccinated with PRV iscom doses varying between 1 and 81 micrograms. The vaccination was repeated on Day 21 and the animals were exposed to challenge infection by subcutaneous inoculation of 1000 TCID50 of the virulent Phylaxia strain on Day 35 after first vaccination. In the second experiment, sheep were i.m. vaccinated with single doses of iscom varying between 1 and 27 micrograms and challenge-infected on Day 14. It was found that: (1) the i.d. administration of PRV iscom has no advantage over i.m. administration (2); a single dose of greater than or equal to 3 micrograms of PRV iscom provided protection against the disease. In immunoblots, viral proteins of molecular masses 120, 109, 55, 53 and 32 kDa were detected with the sera obtained from iscom-vaccinated and subsequently challenge-infected sheep, but not with sera from sheep which were iscom-vaccinated only. The above findings indicated that: (1) by using iscom technology, potent subunit vaccines can be prepared to prevent Aujeszky's disease; (2) the selective incorporation of viral envelope proteins into iscoms gives the opportunity to discriminate between iscom-vaccinated and naturally infected animals.
