The concept of primary environmental, management or viral factors with ensuing secondary bacterial infections is widely accepted, however, morbidity and mortality of feedlot cattle due to BRD are not reduced despite viral vaccination and antimicrobial usage. This indicates that the etiology and pathogenesis of BRD are not yet fully understood, and that all of the infectious agents and environmental causal factors may not have been identified. The advent of high throughput sequencing (HTS) using Illumina MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore sequencing technologies has revolutionized the genomics field, particularly microorganism identification, antimicrobial resistance prediction and microbiome analysis. The main objective of my study was to use HTS to identify unconventional viruses (those viruses are not included in BRD vaccine and no available diagnostic assays) and characterize their association with BRD. We first characterized and compared the upper and lower respiratory tract viromes of Canadian feedlot cattle with or without BRD through metagenomic sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq platform. The presence of influenza D virus (IDV), bovine rhinitis A virus (BRAV), bovine rhinitis B virus (BRBV), bovine coronavirus (BCV) and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) was associated with BRD. Agreement between identification of these viruses in nasal swabs and tracheal washes was generally weak, indicating that sampling location may affect detection of infection. We next characterized the virome of bovine pneumonia lungs collected in western Canada using metagenomic sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq, and combined this information with bacterial ii culture and targeted real-time PCR results from the same samples to determine the relationships between the microorganisms detected and different types of pneumonia defined by histopathological examination. Detection of Histophilus somni and Pasteurella multocida was associated with suppurative bronchopneumonia (SBP) and concurrent bronchopneumonia and bronchointerstitial pneumonia (BP&BIP), respectively. None of these viruses, however, was significantly associated with a particular type of pneumonia. Unconventional viruses such as IDV and BRBV were detected, although sparsely, consistent with our previous findings in upper respiratory tract samples. In the third chapter, we used IDV as a representative BRD-associated virus to examine the feasibility of using metagenomic sequencing for detection of viruses in clinical bovine respiratory samples. We compared results of long-read sequencing on the Oxford Nanopore GridION platform and previously generated Illumina MiSeq data to the results of an IDV-specific qPCR. We concluded that both MiSeq and Nanopore sequencing were capable of detecting IDV in clinical specimens with a range of Cq values. In the last chapter, we applied Nanopore metagenomic sequencing to characterize the viromes of cattle upon arrival at nine feedlots in Western Canada, and related the findings to health outcomes of these cattle to determine if the composition of the virome of individual animals could be used to predict the likelihood of their development of BRD. No relationship was found between BRD development and the number of viruses detected, the presence of any specific individual virus, or combination of viruses. In summary, results of these studies demonstrate the diversity of viruses in bovine respiratory tracts, and highlight the need for further research into prevention and control of BRD development in the context of mixed infections. Meanwhile, our results also demonstrate the potential of iii metagenomic sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore platforms for detection of viruses in clinical samples from naturally infected animals with a wide range of viral loads. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I want to thank my fantastic and excellent supervisors Dr. Yanyun Huang and Dr. Janet Hill.

  • Seroprevalence of Antibodies to Primate Erythroparvovirus 1 (B19V) in Australia Helen M
    Faddy et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2018) 18:631 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-018-3525-7 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Seroprevalence of antibodies to primate erythroparvovirus 1 (B19V) in Australia Helen M. Faddy1,2* , Elise C. Gorman1,2, Veronica C. Hoad3, Francesca D. Frentiu2, Sarah Tozer4 and R. L. P. Flower1,2 Abstract Backgroud: Primate erythroparvovirus 1 (B19V) is a globally ubiquitous DNA virus. Infection results in a variety of clinical presentations including erythema infectiosum in children and arthralgia in adults. There is limited understanding of the seroprevalence of B19V antibodies in the Australian population and therefore of population- wide immunity. This study aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of B19V antibodies in an Australian blood donor cohort, along with a cohort from a paediatric population. Methods: Age/sex/geographical location stratified plasma samples (n = 2221) were collected from Australian blood donors. Samples were also sourced from paediatric patients (n = 223) in Queensland. All samples were screened for B19V IgG using an indirect- enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Overall, 57.90% (95% CI: 55.94%–59.85%) of samples tested positive for B19V IgG, with the national age- standardized seroprevalence of B19V exposure in Australians aged 0 to 79 years estimated to be 54.41%. Increasing age (p < 0.001) and state of residence (p < 0.001) were independently associated with B19V exposure in blood donors, with the highest rates in donors from Tasmania (71.88%, 95% CI: 66.95%–76.80%) and donors aged 65–80 years (78.41%, 95% CI: 74.11%–82.71%). A seroprevalence of 52.04% (95% CI: 47.92%–56.15%) was reported in women of child-bearing age (16 to 44 years).

Using viral metagenomics we characterized the eukaryotic virome in digestive tract tissues collected at necropsy from nine animals with ICD. We show the presence of multiple viruses in the Parvoviridae and Picornaviridae family. We then compared the distribution of viral reads in the stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and the proximal, transverse, and distal colons. Tissues and mucosal scraping from the same locations showed closely related results while different gut tissues from the same animal varied widely. Picornavirus reads were generally more abundant in the lower digestive tract, particularly in the descending (distal) colon.

Viruses in two subfamilies, the Parvovirinae and Densovirinae, are distinguished primarily by their respective ability to infect vertebrates (including humans) versus invertebrates. Being genetically limited, most parvoviruses require actively dividing host cells and are host and/or tissue specific. Some cause diseases, which range from subclinical to lethal. A few require co-infection with helper viruses from other families. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the Parvoviridae, which is available at www.ictv.global/report/parvoviridae. Table 1.

  • Is the ZIKV Congenital Syndrome and Microcephaly Due to Syndemism with Latent Virus Coinfection?
    viruses Review Is the ZIKV Congenital Syndrome and Microcephaly Due to Syndemism with Latent Virus Coinfection? Solène Grayo Institut Pasteur de Guinée, BP 4416 Conakry, Guinea; [email protected] or [email protected] Abstract: The emergence of the Zika virus (ZIKV) mirrors its evolutionary nature and, thus, its ability to grow in diversity or complexity (i.e., related to genome, host response, environment changes, tropism, and pathogenicity), leading to it recently joining the circle of closed congenital pathogens. The causal relation of ZIKV to microcephaly is still a much-debated issue. The identification of outbreak foci being in certain endemic urban areas characterized by a high-density population emphasizes that mixed infections might spearhead the recent appearance of a wide range of diseases that were initially attributed to ZIKV. Globally, such coinfections may have both positive and negative effects on viral replication, tropism, host response, and the viral genome. In other words, the possibility of coinfection may necessitate revisiting what is considered to be known regarding the pathogenesis and epidemiology of ZIKV diseases. ZIKV viral coinfections are already being reported with other arboviruses (e.g., chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and dengue virus (DENV)) as well as congenital pathogens (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and cytomegalovirus (HCMV)). However, descriptions of human latent viruses and their impacts on ZIKV disease outcomes in hosts are currently lacking. This review proposes to select some interesting human latent viruses (i.e., herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2), Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), human parvovirus B19 (B19V), and human papillomavirus (HPV)), whose virological features and Citation: Grayo, S.

  • Molecular Epidemiology of Human Bocavirus in Children with Acute Gastroenteritis from North Region of Brazil
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Soares et al., Journal of Medical Microbiology 2019;68:1233–1239 DOI 10.1099/jmm.0.001026 Molecular epidemiology of human bocavirus in children with acute gastroenteritis from North Region of Brazil Luana S. Soares*, Ana Beatriz F. Lima, Kamilla C. Pantoja, Patrícia S. Lobo, Jonas F. Cruz, Sylvia F. S. Guerra, Delana A. M. Bezerra, Renato S. Bandeira and Joana D. P. Mascarenhas Abstract Purpose. Human bocavirus (HBoV) is a DNA virus that is mostly associated with respiratory infections. However, because it has been found in stool samples, it has been suggested that it may be a causative agent for human enteric conditions. This under- pins the continuous search for HBoVs, especially after the introduction of the rotavirus vaccine due to acute gastroenteritis cases related to emergent viruses, as HBoVs are more likely to be found in this post-vaccine scenario. Therefore, the aim of this study is to demonstrate the prevalence of HBoV in children aged less than 10 years with acute gastroenteritis in Brazil from November 2011 to November 2012. Methodology. Stool samples from hospitalized children ≤10 years old who presented symptoms of acute gastroenteritis were analysed for the presence of rotavirus A (RVA) by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and for HBoV DNA by nested PCR. Results. HBoV positivity was detected in 24.0 % (54/225) of samples. Two peaks of HBoV detection were observed in Novem- ber 2011 and from July to September 2012. Co-infections between HBoV and rotavirus A were identified in 50.0 % (27/54) of specimens. Phylogenetic analysis identified the presence of HBoV-1 (94.8 %), HBoV-2 (2.6 %) and HBoV-3 (2.6 %) species, with only minor variations among them.

Here, two highly divergent BOVs (tentatively named as Himalayan marmot BOV, HMBOV1 and HMBOV2) were identified in the livers and feces of wild Himalayan marmots in China, by viral metagenomic analysis. Five of 300 liver samples from Himalayan marmots were positive for HMBOV1 and five of 99 fecal samples from these animals for HMBOV2. Their nearly complete genome sequences are 4,672 and 4,887 nucleotides long, respectively, with a standard genomic organization and containing protein-coding motifs typical for BOVs. Based on their NS1, NP1, and VP1, HMBOV1 and HMBOV2 are most closely related to porcine BOV SX/1-2 (approximately 77.0%/50.0%, 50.0%/53.0%, and 79.0%/54.0% amino acid identity, respectively).

  • Human Parvovirus B19: a Mechanistic Overview of Infection and DNA Replication
    REVIEW For reprint orders, please contact: [email protected] Human parvovirus B19: a mechanistic overview of infection and DNA replication Yong Luo1 & Jianming Qiu*,1 ABSTRACT Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) is a human pathogen that belongs to genus Erythroparvovirus of the Parvoviridae family, which is composed of a group of small DNA viruses with a linear single-stranded DNA genome. B19V mainly infects human erythroid progenitor cells and causes mild to severe hematological disorders in patients. However, recent clinical studies indicate that B19V also infects nonerythroid lineage cells, such as myocardial endothelial cells, and may be associated with other disease outcomes. Several cell culture systems, including permissive and semipermissive erythroid lineage cells, nonpermissive human embryonic kidney 293 cells and recently reported myocardial endothelial cells, have been used to study the mechanisms underlying B19V infection and B19V DNA replication. This review aims to summarize recent advances in B19V studies with a focus on the mechanisms of B19V tropism specific to different cell types and the cellular pathways involved in B19V DNA replication including cellular signaling transduction and cell cycle arrest. Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) was discovered in 1975 by Cossart and colleagues when screening KEYWORDS for hepatitis B virus in a panel of human serum samples [1] . The virus was described as 23 nm in • B19V • cell cycle • DDR diameter, a typical capsid size of a parvovirus.
