    Abstract Alphaherpesviruses are neuroinvasive viruses with the ability to cause severe diseases in humans and animals. HSV-1 is a human pathogen known to sporadically induce fronto-temporal meningoencephalitis, which is associated with high mortality rates and long lasting sequelae such as chronic or relapsing inflammation, cognitive alterations or epilepsy. PrV is an animal pathogen causing CNS disorders primarily in piglets. In non-porcine species PrV infection leads to severe itching followed by au...

    Abstract Alphaherpesviruses are neuroinvasive viruses with the ability to cause severe diseases in humans and animals. HSV-1 is a human pathogen known to sporadically induce fronto-temporal meningoencephalitis, which is associated with high mortality rates and long lasting sequelae such as chronic or relapsing inflammation, cognitive alterations or epilepsy. PrV is an animal pathogen causing CNS disorders primarily in piglets. In non-porcine species PrV infection leads to severe itching followed by automutilation and death of the infected and diseased animal. After primary replication in epithelial cells, HSV-1 and PrV infect sensory neurons in which they are transported to peripheral ganglia and towards the CNS. In the past, the function of different PrV proteins for neuroinvasion has been studied in mice using corresponding viral gene deletion mutants. These studies revealed that infection with a PrV mutant lacking the tegument protein pUL21 and the pUS3 kinase led not only to a significantly prolonged survival time but unlike to infection with PrV wildtype or other mutants, which was always fatal, most mice survived the infection. In this thesis, this phenotype was studied in detail. To test whether the effect resulted from the absence of the pUS3 kinase function of or from the absence as virion structural component, virus mutants PrV-US3deltakin and PrV-deltaUL21/US3deltakin were constructed and compared to PrV- deltaUS3 and PrV-deltaUL21/US3. In addition to the influence of the kinase-active pUS3, the function of the two described isoforms, pUS3- S and pUS3-L, was analyzed. In vitro data showed that while pUS3-L plays no major role in the viral replication cycle, the abundant, catalytically active short isoform of pUS3 is required for efficient nuclear egress and production of infectious progeny. However, the accumulations of primary virions in huge herniations of the INM described for mutants lacking US3 are not the cause for the observed drop in virus titers. PrV-deltaUS3, lacking the open reading frame ...

    Abstract The pseudorabies virus (PRV) is an alphaherpesvirus and the causative agent of Aujeszky's disease (AD). PRV infects a wide range of animal species including swine as the natural host as well as ruminants, carnivores, rodents and lagomorphs. In these species, except for the pig, PRV infection causes acute, severe disease, characterized by insatiable itching, and is always lethal. Horses, chickens and non-human primates have been shown to be largely resistant to PRV infection, while disease in humans is still controversial. PRV is a pantropic virus, which preferably invades neural tissue, but also infects epithelia of various organs, whereupon multisystemic lesions may result. Although AD is mainly associated with severe pruritus, also known as "mad itch", there are notable differences regarding infection route, clinical signs, viral distribution and lesion patterns in different animal species. In this comprehensive review, we will present clinico-pathologic findings from different species, which have been either shown to be susceptible to PRV infection or have been tested experimentally.

    Abstract Herpesviral encephalitis caused by Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) is one of the most devastating diseases in humans. Patients present with fever, mental status changes or seizures and when untreated, sequelae can be fatal. Herpes Simplex Encephalitis (HSE) is characterized by mainly unilateral necrotizing inflammation effacing the frontal and mesiotemporal lobes with rare involvement of the brainstem. HSV-1 is hypothesized to invade the CNS via the trigeminal or olfactory nerve, but viral tropism and the exact route of infection remain unclear. Several mouse models for HSE have been developed, but they mimic natural infection only inadequately. The porcine alphaherpesvirus Pseudorabies virus (PrV) is closely related to HSV-1 and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV). While pigs can control productive infection, it is lethal in other susceptible animals associated with severe pruritus leading to automutilation. Here, we describe the first mutant PrV establishing productive infection in mice that the animals are able to control. After intranasal inoculation with a PrV mutant lacking tegument protein pUL21 and pUS3 kinase activity (PrV-ΔUL21/US3Δkin), nearly all mice survived despite extensive infection of the central nervous system. Neuroinvasion mainly occurred along the trigeminal pathway. Whereas trigeminal first and second order neurons and autonomic ganglia were positive early after intranasal infection, PrV-specific antigen was mainly detectable in the frontal, mesiotemporal and parietal lobes at later times, accompanied by a long lasting lymphohistiocytic meningoencephalitis. Despite this extensive infection, mice showed only mild to moderate clinical signs, developed alopecic skin lesions, or remained asymptomatic. Interestingly, most mice exhibited abnormalities in behavior and activity levels including slow movements, akinesia and stargazing. In summary, clinical signs, distribution of viral antigen and inflammatory pattern show striking analogies to human encephalitis caused by HSV-1 or VZV not observed in other animal models of disease.

    Abstract Infection with African swine fever virus (ASFV) causes a highly lethal haemorrhagic disease in domestic and Eurasian wild pigs. Thus, it is a major threat to pig populations worldwide and a cause of substantial economic losses. Recently, less virulent ASFV strains emerged naturally, which showed higher experimental virulence in wild boar than in domestic pigs. The reason for this difference in disease progression and outcome is unclear but likely involves different immunological responses. Unfortunately, besides the importance of CD8α
