| Abstract | The purpose of this experiment was to study the duration and distribution of equine influenza virus in actively infected ponies over a 3 wk period. Pony foals (6-8 mo old) were infected experimentally by nebulizing equine influenza subtype-2 virus ultrasonically through a face mask. Successful infection was clinically apparent as each of the foals (n = 6) had a febrile response, a deep hacking cough and mucopurulent nasal discharge for 7 to 10 d. The virus was isolated from nasopharyngeal swabs of all the ponies 3 and 5 d after infection and all the ponies seroconverted to the virus. Samples were taken from the nasopharynx, mid-trachea and the mainstem bronchus with cytology brushes through an endoscope as well as from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. On days 3 to 7 post-infection, ciliacytophtorea (the presence of cilia and ciliated plates separated from columnar epithelial cells) was recognized on routine cytological stain. Indirect immunoperoxidase staining utilizing polyclonal antibodies demonstrated viral antigen in intact and fragmented ciliated epithelial cells and in fragments of ciliated plates. The infected cells and cell fragments were particularly evident on days 3 and 5 post-infection in the nasopharynx, mid-trachea and mainstem bronchus and on days 3 to 7 post-infection in the bronchoalveolar lavage samples. On days 7 and 21 post-infection, viral antigen was identified in vacuoles of alveolar macrophage-like cells collected by bronchoalveolar lavage. It can be concluded from this study that equine influenza virus can infect not only the upper airways but also the bronchial epithelium and that viral antigen can persist up to 21 d post-infection. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
