Dr. Paillot’s main research looks at equine immunity and equine respiratory pathogens (EIV, EHV, and streptococci). His work aims to improve our understanding of immunity induced by pathogens during infection and by vaccination. His research also seeks to elucidate specific mechanisms used by pathogens to evade or deregulate the equine immune response (primarily streptococcal superantigens). Dr. Paillot is strongly involved with veterinary vaccine manufacturers in the evaluation of equine influenza vaccines. Dr. Paillot’s research career began in 1995 in the field of transplantation immunology. He studied the immunosuppressive drug methotrexate and described a new mechanism of action. From 1998 to 2004, he worked in the discovery research department for a veterinary vaccine manufacturer to develop new immunological assays in several veterinary species. In 2004, he moved to the Animal Health Trust (AHT, United Kingdom) to start a PhD on cell-mediated immunity induced by EIV and EHV-1. He held the position of Immunology Team Leader in the department of infectious diseases at the AHT from 2007 to 2012. His work focused on immunity and protection induced by several modern equine vaccines, and he was strongly involved with all European veterinary vaccine manufacturers for the evaluation, characterization, and/or registration of equine influenza vaccines and other equine pathogens. In 2013, he developed a collaborative research program between the U2RM unit of the University of Caen Basse-Normandie, the Frank Duncombe Laboratory, and the AHT in order to investigate poor response in the field to equine influenza vaccination (Chair of Excellence, Equine Immunology). In 2016, he was awarded a French Habilitation to Direct Research (HDR, Higher Doctorate D.Sc/Habilitation equivalent) from Normandy University. Since February 2018, he has been in charge of the Equine Health Department for LABEO´ (Research Division, formerly Frank Duncombe Laboratory) and the Director of CENTAURE (GIS), a cluster for equine research in Normandy. vii ȱ ȱ Editorialȱ SpecialȱIssueȱ“EquineȱViruses”:ȱOldȱ“Friends”ȱandȱ NewȱFoes?ȱ RomainȱPaillotȱ1,2ȱ 1ȱ LABÉO,ȱEquineȱHealthȱDepartment,ȱResearchȱDivision,ȱ14280ȱSaintȬContest,ȱFrance;ȱ romain.paillot@laboratoireȬlabeo.fr;ȱTel.:ȱ+33激2激3147激1926ȱ 2ȱ NORMANDIEȱUNIV,ȱUNICAEN,ȱBIOTARGEN,ȱ14000ȱCaen,ȱFranceȱ Received:ȱ27ȱJanuaryȱ2020;ȱAccepted:ȱ27ȱJanuaryȱ2020;ȱPublished:ȱ29ȱJanuaryȱ2020ȱ ȱ TheȱFoodȱandȱAgricultureȱOrganizationȱofȱtheȱUnitedȱNationsȱhasȱrecentlyȱestimatedȱthatȱtheȱ worldȱ equidȱ populationȱ exceedsȱ 110ȱ millionȱ (FAOSTATȱ 2017).ȱ Workingȱ equidsȱ (horses,ȱ ponies,ȱ donkeys,ȱ andȱ mules)ȱ remainȱ essentialȱ toȱ ensureȱ theȱ livelihoodȱ ofȱ poorȱ communitiesȱ aroundȱ theȱ world.ȱInȱmanyȱdevelopedȱcountries,ȱtheȱequineȱindustryȱhasȱaȱsignificantȱeconomicalȱweight,ȱwithȱ aroundȱ7ȱmillionȱhorsesȱinȱEuropeȱalone.ȱTheȱcloseȱrelationshipȱbetweenȱhumansȱandȱequids,ȱandȱtheȱ factȱthatȱtheȱathleteȱhorseȱisȱtheȱterrestrialȱmammalȱthatȱtravelsȱtheȱmostȱworldwideȱafterȱhumans,ȱ areȱimportantȱelementsȱtoȱconsiderȱinȱtheȱtransmissionȱofȱpathogensȱandȱdiseases,ȱamongstȱequidsȱ andȱ toȱ otherȱ species.ȱ Theȱ potentialȱ effectȱ ofȱ climateȱ changeȱ onȱ vectorȱ ecologyȱ andȱ vectorȬborneȱ diseasesȱisȱalsoȱofȱconcernȱforȱbothȱhumanȱandȱanimalȱhealth.ȱ WithȱthisȱSpecialȱIssue,ȱwhichȱassemblesȱaȱcollectionȱofȱcommunications,ȱresearchȱarticles,ȱandȱ

  • Trunkloads of Viruses
    COMMENTARY Trunkloads of Viruses Philip E. Pellett Department of Immunology and Microbiology, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan, USA Elephant populations are under intense pressure internationally from habitat destruction and poaching for ivory and meat. They also face pressure from infectious agents, including elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus 1 (EEHV1), which kills ϳ20% of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) born in zoos and causes disease in the wild. EEHV1 is one of at least six distinct EEHV in a phylogenetic lineage that appears to represent an ancient but newly recognized subfamily (the Deltaherpesvirinae) in the family Herpesviridae. lephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus 1 (EEHV1) causes a rap- the Herpesviridae (the current complete list of approved virus tax- Downloaded from Eidly progressing and usually fatal hemorrhagic disease that ons is available at http://ictvonline.org/).

  • And Giant Guitarfish (Rhynchobatus Djiddensis)
    VIRAL DISCOVERY IN BLUEGILL SUNFISH (LEPOMIS MACROCHIRUS) AND GIANT GUITARFISH (RHYNCHOBATUS DJIDDENSIS) BY HISTOPATHOLOGY EVALUATION, METAGENOMIC ANALYSIS AND NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING by JENNIFER ANNE DILL (Under the Direction of Alvin Camus) ABSTRACT The rapid growth of aquaculture production and international trade in live fish has led to the emergence of many new diseases. The introduction of novel disease agents can result in significant economic losses, as well as threats to vulnerable wild fish populations. Losses are often exacerbated by a lack of agent identification, delay in the development of diagnostic tools and poor knowledge of host range and susceptibility. Examples in bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) and the giant guitarfish (Rhynchobatus djiddensis) will be discussed here. Bluegill are popular freshwater game fish, native to eastern North America, living in shallow lakes, ponds, and slow moving waterways. Bluegill experiencing epizootics of proliferative lip and skin lesions, characterized by epidermal hyperplasia, papillomas, and rarely squamous cell carcinoma, were investigated in two isolated poopulations. Next generation genomic sequencing revealed partial DNA sequences of an endogenous retrovirus and the entire circular genome of a novel hepadnavirus. Giant Guitarfish, a rajiform elasmobranch listed as ‘vulnerable’ on the IUCN Red List, are found in the tropical Western Indian Ocean. Proliferative skin lesions were observed on the ventrum and caudal fin of a juvenile male quarantined at a public aquarium following international shipment. Histologically, lesions consisted of papillomatous epidermal hyperplasia with myriad large, amphophilic, intranuclear inclusions. Deep sequencing and metagenomic analysis produced the complete genomes of two novel DNA viruses, a typical polyomavirus and a second unclassified virus with a 20 kb genome tentatively named Colossomavirus.

GUIDANCE NOTES African Horse Sickness is a deadly disease that originates in Africa and can spread to other countries. It can infect all equids. This disease is not contagious, and does not spread by close contact between equids. It is caused by a virus that is carried over large distances by biting insects. Infected insects land on horses, donkeys and mules and infect them when they bite. Insects can then fly for many miles and land and feed on many other equids, therefore spreading this disease over long distances. The main biting insect that carries African Horse Sickness Virus is the Culicoides midge, but other biting insects can also spread disease.

The virus establishes a chronic infection and can progress from chronic Japan hepatitis, steatosis to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The Reviewed by: mechanisms of viral persistence and pathogenesis are poorly understood. Recently Ikuo Shoji, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Japan the unfolded protein response (UPR), a cellular homeostatic response to endoplasmic Kohji Moriishi, University of reticulum (ER) stress, has emerged to be a major contributing factor in many human Yamanashi, Japan diseases. It is also evident that viruses interact with the host UPR in many different ways *Correspondence: and the outcome could be pro-viral, anti-viral or pathogenic, depending on the particular Shiu-Wan Chan, Faculty of Life type of infection. Here we present evidence for the elicitation of chronic ER stress in Sciences, The University of Manchester, Michael Smith HCV infection. We analyze the UPR signaling pathways involved in HCV infection, the Building, Oxford Road, various levels of UPR regulation by different viral proteins and finally, we propose several Manchester M13 9PT, UK mechanisms by which the virus provokes the UPR. e-mail: shiu-wan.chan@ manchester.ac.uk Keywords: hepatitis C virus, unfolded protein response, endoplasmic reticulum stress, hepacivirus, virus-host interaction INTRODUCTION (LDLs) and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) to form the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection produces a clinically important lipoviroparticles (Andre et al., 2002).
