Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Heartwater Disease:

1.	AntigensIBA 01/01/1990 - "[Comparison between 3 antigens for the serodiagnosis of heartwater disease by indirect immunofluorescence]." 12/01/1986 - "Detection of Cowdria ruminantium antigen and antibody during the course of heartwater disease in sheep by means of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay."
2.	AntibodiesIBA 09/01/1987 - "An ELISA was used to detect Cowdria ruminantium antibodies during the course of heartwater disease. " 12/01/1986 - "An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect Cowdria ruminantium antibodies during the course of heartwater disease. "
3.	Proteins (Proteins, Gene)IBA 06/01/2009 - "Proteins expressed from the map1 multigene family of Ehrlichia ruminantium are strongly recognized by immune T and B cells from infected animals or from animals that were infected and have recovered from heartwater disease (although still remaining infected carriers). "
4.	Interferon-gamma (Interferon, gamma)IBA 03/01/2004 - "Interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) is considered as a key mediator of protective cell-mediated immunity against intracellular pathogens in general, and against Ehrlichia ruminantium, the causative agent of tick-borne heartwater disease of ruminants, in particular. "
5.	Ribosomal DNA (rDNA)IBA 07/01/1992 - "The 16S ribosomal DNA sequence of Cowdria ruminantium, the causative agent of heartwater disease in ruminants, was determined. "
6.	DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)IBA 04/01/2000 - "We have previously reported that the pCS20 PCR detection assay for Cowdria ruminantium, the causative agent of heartwater disease of ruminants, is more sensitive than xenodiagnosis and the pCS20 DNA probe for the detection of infection in the vector Amblyomma ticks. "
7.	Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO)FDA LinkGeneric 12/01/2003 - "Results of DMSO treatment in sheep with experimentally induced heartwater disease indicated that administration of this agent, in combination with specific antimicrobial treatment, may be of some benefit in treatment of naturally occurring disease."
