Using a similar Anelloviridae approach but with recovery of complete genomes by PCR, we identified a diverse group of single-stranded vi Genomoviridae ruses in yellow-bellied marmot (Marmota flaviventer) fecal samples. From 13 fecal samples we identified viruses Cressdnaviricota in the family Genomoviridae (n = 7) and Anelloviridae (n = 1), and several others that ware part of the larger Cressdnaviricota phylum but not within established families (n = 19). There were also circular DNA molecules identified (n = 4) that appear to encode one viral-like gene and have genomes of <1545 nts. This study gives a snapshot of viruses associated with marmots based on fecal sampling. -

Genetic Content and Evolution of Adenoviruses Andrew J
Journal of General Virology (2003), 84, 2895–2908 DOI 10.1099/vir.0.19497-0 Review Genetic content and evolution of adenoviruses Andrew J. Davison,1 Ma´ria Benko´´ 2 and Bala´zs Harrach2 Correspondence 1MRC Virology Unit, Institute of Virology, Church Street, Glasgow G11 5JR, UK Andrew Davison 2Veterinary Medical Research Institute, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, H-1581 Budapest, [email protected] Hungary This review provides an update of the genetic content, phylogeny and evolution of the family Adenoviridae. An appraisal of the condition of adenovirus genomics highlights the need to ensure that public sequence information is interpreted accurately. To this end, all complete genome sequences available have been reannotated. Adenoviruses fall into four recognized genera, plus possibly a fifth, which have apparently evolved with their vertebrate hosts, but have also engaged in a number of interspecies transmission events. Genes inherited by all modern adenoviruses from their common ancestor are located centrally in the genome and are involved in replication and packaging of viral DNA and formation and structure of the virion. Additional niche-specific genes have accumulated in each lineage, mostly near the genome termini. Capture and duplication of genes in the setting of a ‘leader–exon structure’, which results from widespread use of splicing, appear to have been central to adenovirus evolution. The antiquity of the pre-vertebrate lineages that ultimately gave rise to the Adenoviridae is illustrated by morphological similarities between adenoviruses and bacteriophages, and by use of a protein-primed DNA replication strategy by adenoviruses, certain bacteria and bacteriophages, and linear plasmids of fungi and plants. -

Several viruses have Virome been tentatively associated to such syndrome. Here, in order to examine potential associations between enteric Broiler chickens viruses and MAS, the faecal viromes of 70 stool samples collected from diseased (n = 35) and healthy (n = 35) High-throughput sequencing chickens from seven flocks were characterized and compared. Following high-throughput sequencing, a total of 8,347,319 paired end reads, with an average of 231 nt, were generated. Through analysis of de novo assembled contigs, 144 contigs > 1000 nt were identified with hits to eukaryotic viral sequences, as determined by GenBank database. -

TTV) in Jordan

Received: 19 December 2019; Accepted: 29 January 2020; Published: 31 January 2020 Abstract: Torque teno virus (TTV) is the most common component of the human blood virobiota. Little is known, however, about the prevalence of TTV in humans and the most common farm domesticates in Jordan, or the history and modality of TTV transmission across species lines. We therefore tested sera from 396 Jordanians and 171 farm animals for the presence of TTV DNA using nested 50-UTR-PCR. We then performed phylogenetic, ordination and evolutionary diversity analyses on detected DNA sequences. We detected a very high prevalence of TTV in Jordanians (~96%); much higher than in farm animal domesticates (~29% pooled over species). TTV prevalence in the human participants is not associated with geography, demography or physical attributes. Phylogenetic, ordination and evolutionary diversity analyses indicated that TTV is transmitted readily between humans across the geography of the country and between various species of animal domesticates. However, the majority of animal TTV isolates seem to derive from a single human-to-animal transmission event in the past, and current human-animal transmission in either direction is relatively rare. -
Introduction to Viroids and Prions
Harriet Wilson, Lecture Notes Bio. Sci. 4 - Microbiology Sierra College Introduction to Viroids and Prions Viroids – Viroids are plant pathogens made up of short, circular, single-stranded RNA molecules (usually around 246-375 bases in length) that are not surrounded by a protein coat. They have internal base-pairs that cause the formation of folded, three-dimensional, rod-like shapes. Viroids apparently do not code for any polypeptides (proteins), but do cause a variety of disease symptoms in plants. The mechanism for viroid replication is not thoroughly understood, but is apparently dependent on plant enzymes. Some evidence suggests they are related to introns, and that they may also infect animals. Disease processes may involve RNA-interference or activities similar to those involving mi-RNA. Prions – Prions are proteinaceous infectious particles, associated with a number of disease conditions such as Scrapie in sheep, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) or Mad Cow Disease in cattle, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in wild ungulates such as muledeer and elk, and diseases in humans including Creutzfeld-Jacob disease (CJD), Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker syndrome (GSS), Alpers syndrome (in infants), Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI) and Kuru. These diseases are characterized by loss of motor control, dementia, paralysis, wasting and eventually death. Prions can be transmitted through ingestion, tissue transplantation, and through the use of comtaminated surgical instruments, but can also be transmitted from one generation to the next genetically. This is because prion proteins are encoded by genes normally existing within the brain cells of various animals. Disease is caused by the conversion of normal cell proteins (glycoproteins) into prion proteins. -

ISBN: 1843390663 192 Water Recreation and Disease HUMAN ADENOVIRUS Credibility of association with recreational water: Strongly associated I Organism Pathogen Human adenovirus Taxonomy Adenoviruses belong to the family Adenoviridae. There are four genera: Mastadenovirus, Aviadenovirus, Atadenovirus and Siadenovirus. At present 51 antigenic types of human adenoviruses have been described. Human adenoviruses have been classified into six groups (A–F) on the basis of their physical, chemical and biological properties (WHO 2004). Reservoir Humans. Adenoviruses are ubiquitous in the environment where contamination by human faeces or sewage has occurred. Distribution Adenoviruses have worldwide distribution. Characteristics An important feature of the adenovirus is that it has a DNA rather than an RNA genome. Portions of this viral DNA persist in host cells after viral replication has stopped as either a circular extra chromosome or by integration into the host DNA (Hogg 2000). This persistence may be important in the pathogenesis of the known sequelae of adenoviral infection that include Swyer-James syndrome, permanent airways obstruction, bronchiectasis, bronchiolitis obliterans, and steroid-resistant asthma (Becroft 1971; Tan et al.
