The UL5 gene from a German ChHV isolate was used to generate a digoxigenin-labeled 307-base-pair DNA probe by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ChHV DNA was detected in paraffin-embedded tissues of five naturally infected tortoises (two Afghan tortoises [ Testudo horsfieldii], USA; two Hermann's tortoises [ Testudo hermanni], Switzerland; one T. hermanni, Germany) by means of in situ hybridization (ISH) and PCR. Distribution of ChHV DNA exhibits many characteristics of alphaherpesvirus but also some characteristics of betaherpesvirus infections. The amino acid sequence of a portion of the ChHV UL5 homolog exhibited more than 50% similarity to alphaherpesvirus UL5 proteins. Nuclear hybridization signals were detected in epithelial cells of the lingual mucosa and glands. Furthermore, ChHV DNA was observed in tracheal epithelium, pneumocytes, hepatocytes, the renal tubular epithelium, cerebral glia cells and neurons, and intramural intestinal ganglia. ChHV DNA in endothelial cells of many organs underlines the systemic character of the disease. Importantly, ChHV DNA was detected by ISH in multiple tissues of tortoises originating from different geographic provenances. This indicates a high degree of conservation of the UL5 gene fragment among viruses prevalent in tortoises on different continents. With the described ISH, a molecular biological tool is available for rapid and specific diagnosis of ChHV infections and, more importantly, comparative pathogenetic studies of ChHV isolates from geographically unrelated regions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1354\/vp.37-5-377","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,4,24]],"date-time":"2003-04-24T16:16:47Z","timestamp":1051201007000},"page":"377-385","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Detection of Chelonid Herpesvirus DNA by Nonradioactive in Situ Hybridization in Tissues from Tortoises Suffering from Stomatitis\u2014Rhinitis Complex in Europe and North America"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"J.
