Comparative Analysis, Distribution, and Characterization of Microsatellites in Orf Virus Genome
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Comparative analysis, distribution, and characterization of microsatellites in Orf virus genome Basanta Pravas Sahu1, Prativa Majee 1, Ravi Raj Singh1, Anjan Sahoo2 & Debasis Nayak 1* Genome-wide in-silico identifcation of microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in the Orf virus (ORFV), the causative agent of contagious ecthyma has been carried out to investigate the type, distribution and its potential role in the genome evolution. We have investigated eleven ORFV strains, which resulted in the presence of 1,036–1,181 microsatellites per strain. The further screening revealed the presence of 83–107 compound SSRs (cSSRs) per genome. Our analysis indicates the dinucleotide (76.9%) repeats to be the most abundant, followed by trinucleotide (17.7%), mononucleotide (4.9%), tetranucleotide (0.4%) and hexanucleotide (0.2%) repeats. The Relative Abundance (RA) and Relative Density (RD) of these SSRs varied between 7.6–8.4 and 53.0–59.5 bp/ kb, respectively. While in the case of cSSRs, the RA and RD ranged from 0.6–0.8 and 12.1–17.0 bp/kb, respectively. Regression analysis of all parameters like the incident of SSRs, RA, and RD signifcantly correlated with the GC content. But in a case of genome size, except incident SSRs, all other parameters were non-signifcantly correlated. Nearly all cSSRs were composed of two microsatellites, which showed no biasedness to a particular motif. Motif duplication pattern, such as, (C)-x-(C), (TG)- x-(TG), (AT)-x-(AT), (TC)- x-(TC) and self-complementary motifs, such as (GC)-x-(CG), (TC)-x-(AG), (GT)-x-(CA) and (TC)-x-(AG) were observed in the cSSRs.

Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV)
Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) Tobacco mosaic virus is the type member of the genus Tobamovirus, family Virgaviridae: consisting of rigid rods with single-stranded positive-sense RNA, and monomeric coat protein. Symptoms: TMV can cause symptoms including: stunting, mosaic, malformation of leaves and growing points, rugosity, yellow streaking (especially in monocots), yellow spotting, vein-clearing, and necrotic leaf spots. Many hosts are symptomless. TMV is systemic in many hosts, with particles found in roots as well as aerial portions of plant, often at very high titres. Host Range: Over 200 plant species in 11 families known to be hosts. Hosts include: tobacco, tomato, potato, pepper, other Solanaceae, Chenopodium, beet, melon, cucumber, squash, lettuce, horsenettle, Anemone, Begonia, Calibrachoa, Chrysanthemum, Coleus, Delphinium, Geranium, Impatiens, Lobelia, marigold, Petunia, plantain, poppy and Verbena. Many hosts (including several Petunia varieties) are symptomless. Epidemiology: TMV is transmitted mechanically by handling plants, as well as by tools (as many as 20 plants after cutting an infected one). Historically, tobacco products often contained TMV particles, less in flue-cured products; workers were thought to introduce and spread throughout plantings on contaminated hands. Though not considered transmissible by insects, chewing insects such as grasshoppers or flea beetles may very rarely spread by contaminated mouthparts. Is not seed transmitted, but can infect from contaminated seed coats or soil. Root fragments left in soil and leaf litter can serve as an inoculum source. TMV is graft transmissible. Virus particles are very stable, even in unpurified sap. There are records of dried leaf material remaining infectious for 30 to 50 years at room temperature.

Ancient Recombination Events and the Origins of Hepatitis E Virus Andrew G
Kelly et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2016) 16:210 DOI 10.1186/s12862-016-0785-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Ancient recombination events and the origins of hepatitis E virus Andrew G. Kelly, Natalie E. Netzler and Peter A. White* Abstract Background: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an enteric, single-stranded, positive sense RNA virus and a significant etiological agent of hepatitis, causing sporadic infections and outbreaks globally. Tracing the evolutionary ancestry of HEV has proved difficult since its identification in 1992, it has been reclassified several times, and confusion remains surrounding its origins and ancestry. Results: To reveal close protein relatives of the Hepeviridae family, similarity searching of the GenBank database was carried out using a complete Orthohepevirus A, HEV genotype I (GI) ORF1 protein sequence and individual proteins. The closest non-Hepeviridae homologues to the HEV ORF1 encoded polyprotein were found to be those from the lepidopteran-infecting Alphatetraviridae family members. A consistent relationship to this was found using a phylogenetic approach; the Hepeviridae RdRp clustered with those of the Alphatetraviridae and Benyviridae families. This puts the Hepeviridae ORF1 region within the “Alpha-like” super-group of viruses. In marked contrast, the HEV GI capsid was found to be most closely related to the chicken astrovirus capsid, with phylogenetic trees clustering the Hepeviridae capsid together with those from the Astroviridae family, and surprisingly within the “Picorna-like” supergroup. These results indicate an ancient recombination event has occurred at the junction of the non-structural and structure encoding regions, which led to the emergence of the entire Hepeviridae family.

Pepper Mild Mottle Virus As a Water Quality Indicator
www.nature.com/npjcleanwater REVIEW ARTICLE OPEN Pepper mild mottle virus as a water quality indicator Masaaki Kitajima1, Hannah P. Sassi 2 and Jason R. Torrey3 Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) was recently found to be the most abundant RNA virus in human feces, and is a plant virus belonging to the genus Tobamovirus in the family Virgoviridae. When in human feces, it is of dietary origin from peppers and their processed products, and is excreted from a large proportion of healthy human populations, but rarely found in animal feces. Over the past decade, this virus has been increasingly attracting research attention as a potential viral indicator for human fecal pollution in aquatic environments and water treatment systems. Results presented in the literature reveal that PMMoV is globally distributed and present in various water sources in greater abundance than human pathogenic viruses, without substantial seasonal ﬂuctuations. Several studies report that increased concentrations of PMMoV tend to be correlated with increased fecal contamination in general, along with more frequent detection of pathogenic enteric viruses. PMMoV also exhibits remarkable stability in water under various environmental conditions. Here, we review recent advancements in our understanding of the occurrence and persistence of PMMoV in natural and engineered water systems and discuss its advantages and limitations as a viral indicator for improved microbial water quality management. npj Clean Water (2018) 1:19 ; doi:10.1038/s41545-018-0019-5 INTRODUCTION research surrounding PMMoV as a potential fecal pollution Viral pathogens are a signiﬁcant cause of waterborne illnesses, indicator in water, facilitating its study in fecal and water samples including gastrointestinal and respiratory conditions.

Effectiveness of Disinfectants Against the Spread of Tobamoviruses
Chanda et al. Virol J (2021) 18:7 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12985-020-01479-8 RESEARCH Open Access Efectiveness of disinfectants against the spread of tobamoviruses: Tomato brown rugose fruit virus and Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus Bidisha Chanda1, Md Shamimuzzaman1,2, Andrea Gilliard1 and Kai‑Shu Ling1* Abstract Background: Tobamoviruses, including tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) on tomato and pepper, and cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) on cucumber and watermelon, have caused many disease outbreaks around the world in recent years. With seed‑borne, mechanical transmission and resistant breaking traits, tobamo‑ viruses pose serious threat to vegetable production worldwide. With the absence of a commercial resistant cultivar, growers are encouraged to take preventative measures to manage those highly contagious viral diseases. However, there is no information available on which disinfectants are efective to deactivate the virus infectivity on contami‑ nated hands, tools and equipment for these emerging tobamoviruses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a collection of 16 chemical disinfectants for their efectiveness against mechanical transmission of two emerging tobamoviruses, ToBRFV and CGMMV. Methods: Bioassay was used to evaluate the efcacy of each disinfectant based on virus infectivity remaining in a prepared virus inoculum after three short exposure times (10 s, 30 s and 60 s) to the disinfectant and inoculated mechanically on three respective test plants (ToBRFV on tomato and CGMMV on watermelon). Percent infection of plants was measured through symptom observation on the test plants and the presence of the virus was confrmed through an enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay with appropriate antibodies.
