DNA restriction enzyme analysis of a bovine herpesvirus 1 strain isolated from encephalitis in Hungary.
The DNA of a bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) strain isolated from calf encephalitis in Hungary was analysed with restriction enzymes. The cleavage pattern of the encephalitis strain Na/67 differed from those of all the other Hungarian BHV-1 isolates investigated so far. The EcoRI and HindIII cleavage patterns of virus strain Na/67 were found to be similar to the patterns of two other encephalitis strains (N569 and A663 from Australia and Argentina, respectively) characterized earlier. Strain Na/67 is the first isolate in Europe which showed the restriction enzyme pattern of BHV-1.3 previously supposed to be characteristic of encephalitis strains.
