The DNA fragments representing the entire short unique region and part of the repeat sequences of the equine herpesvirus type-1 genome were cloned into plasmid vectors. The approximate positions of the junctions between the short unique region and the inverted repeats were then located by restriction endonuclease mapping. Two open reading frames coding for potential glycoproteins have been identified within the short unique region, using DNA sequence analysis. The predicted amino acid sequences of these open reading frames had extensive homology to the herpes simplex virus glycoproteins gE and gI and the related glycoproteins of pseudorabies virus and varicella-zoster virus.

The characteristics of 29 Chilean field strains of Streptococcus suis recovered between 2007 and 2011 from pigs with clinical signs at different farms were studied. Serotyping with use of the coagglutination test revealed that all but 1 strain belonged to serotype 6; the remaining strain was serotype 22. All the serotype-6 strains were suilysin (hemolysin)-negative; in addition, they were found to be genotypically homogeneous by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (ERIC-PCR) and sensitive to ampicillin, ceftiofur, penicillin, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. The results indicate that, in contrast to what is generally observed in other countries, a single clone of S. suis was isolated from diseased pigs in the central region of Chile.
