Pre-treatment with platinum (Pt) compounds followed by real-time PCR has been shown to discriminate between infectious and non-infectious RNA viruses. This study examined the effect of Pt and palladium (Pd) compounds on enveloped DNA viruses, paying attention to two significant pathogens of livestock – bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) and African swine fever virus (ASFV). Native or heat-treated BoHV-1 suspension was incubated with the spectrum of Pt/Pd compounds. Bis(benzonitrile)palladium(II) dichloride (BB-PdCl 2) and dichloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene) palladium(II) (PdCl 2-COD) produced the highest differences found between native and heat- -treated viruses. Optimized pre-treatment conditions (1 mM of Pd compound, 15 min, 4°C) were applied on both virus genera and the heat inactivation profiles were assessed. A significant decrease in the detected quantity of BoHV-1 DNA and ASFV DNA after heat-treatment (60°C and 95°C) and consequent incubation with Pd compounds was observed. BB-PdCl 2 and PdCl 2-COD could help to distinguish between infectious and non-infectious enveloped DNA viruses such as BoHV-1 or ASFV.}, type={Article}, title={A method for the infectivity discrimination of enveloped DNA viruses using palladium compounds pre-treatment followed by real-time PCR}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/127674/PDF-MASTER/5%20_%20Krzyzankova.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pjvs.2023.145024}, keywords={African swine fever virus, bovine herpesvirus-1, palladium compounds, platinum compounds, molecular methods, viability PCR}, }
