The RNA transcripts produced from in vitro transcription reaction of BTV core were analyzed on agarose-urea gel. Fast migrating abortive RNAs, in addition to full length species of RNA, were observed. Fast migrating RNAs extracted from agarose-urea gel were hybridized to all 10 segments of genomic ds RNA, while solw migrating RNAs extracted from agarose-urea gel were hybridized only to the large and medium size genomic ds RNA. These results indicate that fast migrating RNA transcripts are most likely the products of abortive transcription.

To investigate the serum neutralizing antibodies against Ibaraki disease virus in the western area of Kyunggi province, a sero-epidemiological survey was done from August 1995 to March 1996. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. An overall prevalence of the neutralizing antibodies agaist Ibaraki virus was as high as 68.6% (218 positive reactors amomg 318 heads of dairy cattle). 2. It showed the regional differences with 60.5${\ulcorner}$(46/76) in Koyang, 75.2% (100/133) in Paju and 66.1% (72/109) in Kimpo. 3. It also appeared with a seasonal difference showing 74.4% of prevalence with the mean titer higher than 60 during the mosquito season (from August to November) and 58.6% of prevalence with the mean titer 22 after the mosquito season to March. 4. Any cross reactions between Ibaraki and bluetongue viruses were not detected in the ELISA and AGID tests.

The BTV core associated transcriptase activity, assayed by acid precipitable counts, was reduced to an undetectable level after treat the core with .$100{\mu}{\M}$ CDDP. When the RNA transcripts prepared from the CDDP treated BTV core were analysed on agaroseurea gel, it was observed that the band intensity of the large size RNA was reduced while the band intensity of the small size RNA was enhanced. Northern blot analysis showed that much of the small size RNAs appeared to be prematurely terminated transcripts. These results suggest that CDDP adduction to the template RNA blocks chain elongation process of the virion bound transcriptase that is ultimately responsible for the inactivation of BTV infectivity.

In view of free from bluetongue (BT) in the domestic cattle population in Korea, the key of quarantine testing for BT virus (BTV) infection is detection of cattle previously exposed to the virus. The objective of this study was to estimate the probability of detecting a cattle infected with BTV using a stochastic modeling analysis of existing quarantine testing data. Three testing scenarios were considered in this study: serological testing of all animals in all imported lots (scenario 1), serological testing of a sample of cattle from all imported lots (scenario 2), and serological testing of 50% of imported lots (scenario 3). In scenario 2 and 3, it was assumed that cattle were sampled (sample size) within each lot to detect 5% of the cattle in each lot with a 95% confidence, taking into account diagnostic sensitivity of the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). The model output was the total number of BTV-infected cattle and the prevalence of BTV infection in imported cattle from the US, Australia, Canada and Japan. Compared to the scenario 1, the probability of detecting a BTV-infected cattle was estimated to be 19% and 1.6% in scenario 2 and 3, respectively. Furthermore, the analyses showed a 95% confidence that BTV prevalence was less or equal to $9.7{\times}10^{-4}$ (median = $1.5{\times}10^{-5}$), indicating that, for the scenario 2 and 3 with serological testing for a sample of cattle, the risk of introducing an exotic strain of BTV into Korea through the importation of live cattle would not be acceptable.

Based on the current importing and exporing regulations for disease control of embryo transfer, some important microorganisms and their control possibilities are reviewed. The results reviewed were sumrnarized as follows: 1. Regulations regarding to the import of embryos vary between importing and exporting countries, but exporting countries examine the donor and embryos for the heaith certification by the requirements of importing countries. 2. Organisms that infect the gametes are 5 kinds of viruses and the diseases caused by them could not be controlled or eradicated using embryo transfer. 3. Organisms that do not infect the gametes are 4 kinds of viruses and the causal organisms are potential candidates for control or eradication by embryo transfer. 4. Organisms that penetrate the zona pellucida and infect the embryo are 6 kinds of viruses including bovine viral diarrhea virus. 5. Organisms that cannot penetrate the zona pellucida or do not infect the embryo are 15 kinds of viruses and the removal from their contaminations are recommended by proper washing procedure and antisera treatment. Bovine and porcine parvovirus, porcine pseudorabies virus and vesicular stomatitis virus are included in these organisms. 6. Bovine embryos that artificially exposed to various pathogenic organisms such as bovine herpes virus, IBR virus, bluetongue virus, bovine viral diarrhea virus and Brucella abortus in vitro are discussed about their infection by several treatments.

CDDP는 $100\;{\mu}M$ 이하의 농도에서 BTV 캡시드 단백질에 crosslink를 형성하지 않는다. 밀도구배초원심분리 결과에 의하면 캡시드 단백질과 RNA사이의 crosslink도 일어나지 않는다. CDDP를 처리한 BTV RNA를 폴리아크릴아마이드 겔에 전기연동하면 RNA이동 패턴이 변한다. 이 결과는 BTV core에 없는 RNA중합효소의 불활성화가 CDDP에 의한 BNA RNA의 구조변화에 의함을 가리킨다.
