Abstract

Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) is the causative agent of equine herpes myeloencephalopathy, of which outbreaks are reported with increasing frequency throughout North America and Europe. This has resulted in its classification as a potentially emerging disease by the US Department of Agriculture. Recently, it was found that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the viral DNA polymerase gene (ORF30) at aa 752 (N→D) is associated with the neurovirulent potential of EHV-1. In the present study, equine respiratory mucosal explants were inoculated with several Belgian isolates typed in their ORF30 as D 752 or N 752, to evaluate a possible difference in replication in the upper respiratory tract. In addition, to evaluate whether any observed differences could be attributed to the SNP associated with neurovirulence, the experiments were repeated with parental Ab4 (reference neurovirulent strain), parental NY03 (reference non-neurovirulent strain) and their N/D revertant recombinant viruses. The salient findings were that EHV-1 spreads plaquewise in the epithelium, but plaques never cross the basement membrane (BM). However, single EHV-1-infected cells could be observed below the BM at 36 h post-inoculation (p.i.) for all N 752 isolates and at 24 h p.i. for all D 752 isolates, and were identified as monocytic cells and T lymphocytes. Interestingly, the number of infected cells was two to five times higher for D 752 isolates compared with N 752 isolates at every time point analysed. Finally, this study showed that equine respiratory explants are a valuable and reproducible model to study EHV-1 neurovirulence in vitro, thereby reducing the need for horses as experimental animals.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The leukocytes that carry EHV-1 across the basement membrane are mainly CD172a+ cells of myeloid origin, followed by T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes.

    “These cells were mainly identified as CD172a+ cells (myeloid origin) followed by T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes (Gryspeerdt et al., 2010; Vandekerckhove et al., 2010; Baghi et al., 2014).”

    From The Pathogenesis and Immune Evasive Mechanisms of Equine Herpesvirus Type 1 (2021) · cites this paper as Vandekerckhove et al., 2010

    The explant results identify CD172a+ cells, T lymphocytes and rarely infected B lymphocytes among EHV-1 carrier cells below the basement membrane. But the Discussion says CD172a+ cells predominated only for isolate 03P37; for the other isolates, infected cells were equally likely to be CD172a+ cells or T lymphocytes. The claimed ranking therefore overgeneralizes the finding. Page numbers were not supplied. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • In ex vivo experiments, single infected epithelial cells were visible at 12 h post-inoculation and EHV-1-induced plaques were observed in equine nasal and nasopharyngeal explants starting from 24 h post-inoculation.

    “In ex vivo experiments, single infected epithelial cells were visible at 12 h post-inoculation (hpi) and EHV-1-induced plaques were observed in the epithelium of equine nasal and nasopharyngeal explants starting from 24 hpi (Vandekerckhove et al., 2010; Negussie et al., 2016).”

  • Following infection of the respiratory epithelium, EHV-1 crosses the basement membrane by the use of single infected leukocytes.

    “Following infection of the respiratory epithelium, EHV-1 crosses the basement membrane (BM) by the use of single infected leukocytes (Kydd et al., 1994; Vandekerckhove et al., 2010; Figure 1.1c).”

  • While EHV-1 can infect the respiratory epithelium, previous in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro studies showed that its replication is somehow restricted.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
