Publicación Oficial de la Sociedad Española de Virología Estimados amigos y colegas: La Sociedad Española de Virología (SEV) y el Comité Organizador os damos la bienvenida al XII Congreso Nacional de Virología (XII CNV), que se celebra en Burgos del 9 al 12 de junio de 2013. Las sedes del XII CNV son el Aula Magna de la Universidad de Burgos en la sesión inaugural del día 9, y el Palacio de Con- gresos Fórum Evolución Burgos en las sesiones de los días 10 al 12. Gracias al trabajo realizado por los miembros del Comité Organizador y del Comité Científico, y gracias también a la participación de todos los que habéis enviado comunicaciones, hemos conseguido un atrac- tivo programa que cubre los diferentes campos de la virología básica y aplicada, en sus vertientes hu- mana, veterinaria y vegetal. Además, exploraremos la fecunda interacción de la virología con otras áreas de la biología (en particular, el estudio de la evolución), así como con la medicina, la química y la física. De esta forma, esperamos que todos los investigadores básicos y clínicos que trabajáis en cualquiera de las ramas de la virología participéis activamente en este Congreso. Asimismo contamos con la presen- cia, como ponentes invitados, de varios virólogos nacionales y extranjeros de reconocido prestigio. Entre todos podremos discutir sobre los avances, logros y retos en el estudio de los virus, en un Congreso que esperamos sea muy fructífero. Además, hemos preparando un interesante programa social y cultural que incluye la visita a dos de los principales atractivos científicos de Burgos: los yacimientos de la Sierra de Atapuerca y el Museo de la Evolución Humana. Queremos agradecer al Presidente y a todos los miembros de la Junta Directiva de la SEV el apoyo que nos han prestado para la organización de este Congreso. También agradecemos la ayuda de la Univer- sidad de Burgos y del Hospital Universitario de Burgos en los aspectos locales de la organización. Por último, expresamos nuestra gratitud a las demás instituciones y a todas las empresas que colaboran en el XII CNV como patrocinadores: en una época de profunda crisis como la que estamos atravesando, este Congreso no habría sido posible sin su apoyo. Esperamos que durante estos días todos disfrutemos tanto del XII CNV como de los variados atractivos de Burgos y su entorno. Recibid un cordial saludo en nombre del Comité Organizador, Carlos Briones Presidente del Comité Organizador del XII CNV Virología. Publicación Oficial de la Sociedad Española de Virología Dear friends and colleagues: The Spanish Society for Virology (SEV) and the Organizing Committee are pleased to welcome you to Bur- gos on the occasion of the XII Spanish National Congress of Virology (XII CNV). The Congress is held at the Aula Magna of the University of Burgos (opening session, June 9) and at the Congress Center Fórum Evolución Burgos (June 10-12 sessions). Thanks to the work carried out by the members of the Organizing and Scientific Committees, and to all the participants who have submitted their abstracts to this Congress, we have set up an interesting pro- gram covering various basic and clinical aspects of human, veterinary, and plant virology. We will also explore the fruitful interaction of virology with other areas of biology (in particular, the study of evolu- tion), as well as with medicine, chemistry and physics. Therefore, we are confident that basic and clini- cal researchers working in any branch of virology will be willing to actively participate in this Congress. In addition, we are both pleased and honored to host several renowned Spanish and foreign virologists as invited speakers. All together, we will be able to discuss current progresses, achievements, and cha- llenges in the study of viruses. We have also prepared an interesting social and cultural program that in- cludes a visit to two of the major scientific landmarks of Burgos: the Archaeological Site of Atapuerca and the Museum of Human Evolution. We wish to thank the President and the Executive Board of the SEV for their support to this Congress. We also appreciate the help of the University of Burgos and the Hospital Universitario de Burgos on local aspects of the organization. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the sponsorship of several institu- tions and companies: in the deep crisis we currently face, the XII CNV would not be possible without their support. It is our hope that we all enjoy not only the Congress but also the varied attractions of Burgos and its surroundings. With kind regards, on behalf of the Organizing Committee, Carlos Briones Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the XII CNV Virología.

  • Detection and Characterization of a Novel Marine Birnavirus Isolated from Asian Seabass in Singapore
    Chen et al. Virology Journal (2019) 16:71 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12985-019-1174-0 RESEARCH Open Access Detection and characterization of a novel marine birnavirus isolated from Asian seabass in Singapore Jing Chen1†, Xinyu Toh1†, Jasmine Ong1, Yahui Wang1, Xuan-Hui Teo1, Bernett Lee2, Pui-San Wong3, Denyse Khor1, Shin-Min Chong1, Diana Chee1, Alvin Wee1, Yifan Wang1, Mee-Keun Ng1, Boon-Huan Tan3 and Taoqi Huangfu1* Abstract Background: Lates calcarifer, known as seabass in Asia and barramundi in Australia, is a widely farmed species internationally and in Southeast Asia and any disease outbreak will have a great economic impact on the aquaculture industry. Through disease investigation of Asian seabass from a coastal fish farm in 2015 in Singapore, a novel birnavirus named Lates calcarifer Birnavirus (LCBV) was detected and we sought to isolate and characterize the virus through molecular and biochemical methods. Methods: In order to propagate the novel birnavirus LCBV, the virus was inoculated into the Bluegill Fry (BF-2) cell line and similar clinical signs of disease were reproduced in an experimental fish challenge study using the virus isolate. Virus morphology was visualized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Biochemical analysis using chloroform and 5-Bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BUDR) sensitivity assays were employed to characterize the virus. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) was also used to obtain the virus genome for genetic and phylogenetic analyses. Results: The LCBV-infected BF-2 cell line showed cytopathic effects such as rounding and granulation of cells, localized cell death and detachment of cells observed at 3 to 5 days’ post-infection.

  • 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.

During a trip in December 2003 and January 2004 the author collected on these two islands at various places. In the last years KISHIDA (1992a, 1992b, 1993, 1995, 2000a, 2000b, 2001 & 2003) worked very intensively with Agaristinae and also with the genus Mimeusemia BUTLER, 1875. Some years earlier KIRIAKOFF (1977) published a systematic monography of the Palaearctic and Oriental Agaristinae. Additionally RABENSTEIN & SPEIDEL (1995) reported some details of the life history and biology of some Agaristinae species.

  • HUMAN ADENOVIRUS Credibility of Association with Recreational Water: Strongly Associated
    6 Viruses This chapter summarises the evidence for viral illnesses acquired through ingestion or inhalation of water or contact with water during water-based recreation. The organisms that will be described are: adenovirus; coxsackievirus; echovirus; hepatitis A virus; and hepatitis E virus. The following information for each organism is presented: general description, health aspects, evidence for association with recreational waters and a conclusion summarising the weight of evidence. © World Health Organization (WHO). Water Recreation and Disease. Plausibility of Associated Infections: Acute Effects, Sequelae and Mortality by Kathy Pond. Published by IWA Publishing, London, UK. 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.

    viruses Article Discovery and Characterization of Actively Replicating DNA and Retro-Transcribing Viruses in Lower Vertebrate Hosts Based on RNA Sequencing Xin-Xin Chen, Wei-Chen Wu and Mang Shi * School of Medicine, Sun Yat-sen University, Shenzhen 518107, China; [email protected] (X.-X.C.); [email protected] (W.-C.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In a previous study, a metatranscriptomics survey of RNA viruses in several important lower vertebrate host groups revealed huge viral diversity, transforming the understanding of the evolution of vertebrate-associated RNA virus groups. However, the diversity of the DNA and retro-transcribing viruses in these host groups was left uncharacterized. Given that RNA sequencing is capable of revealing viruses undergoing active transcription and replication, we collected previously generated datasets associated with lower vertebrate hosts, and searched them for DNA and retro-transcribing viruses. Our results revealed the complete genome, or “core gene sets”, of 18 vertebrate-associated DNA and retro-transcribing viruses in cartilaginous fishes, ray- finned fishes, and amphibians, many of which had high abundance levels, and some of which showed systemic infections in multiple organs, suggesting active transcription or acute infection within the host. Furthermore, these new findings recharacterized the evolutionary history in the families Hepadnaviridae, Papillomaviridae, and Alloherpesviridae, confirming long-term virus–host codivergence relationships for these virus groups.

WELCOME ADDRESSES Welcome to the Viruses of Microbes 2018 EMBO Workshop! We are happy to welcome you to Wrocław for the 5th meeting of the Viruses of Microbes series. This series was launched in the year 2010 in Paris, and was continued in Brussels (2012), Zurich (2014), and Liverpool (2016). This year our meeting is co-organized by two partner institutions: the University of Wrocław and the Hirszfeld Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy, Polish Academy of Sciences. The conference venue (University of Wrocław, Uniwersytecka 7-10, Building D) is located in the heart of Wrocław, within the old, historic part of the city. This creates an opportunity to experience the over 1000-year history of the city, combined with its current positive energy. The Viruses of Microbes community is constantly growing. More and more researchers are joining it, and they represent more and more countries worldwide. Our goal for this meeting was to create a true global platform for networking and exchanging ideas. We are most happy to welcome representatives of so many countries and continents. To accommodate the diversity and expertise of the scientists and practitioners gathered by VoM2018, the leading theme of this conference is “Biodiversity and Future Application”. With the help of your contribution, this theme was developed into a program covering a wide range of topics with the strongest practical aspect.
