The Insect-Specific Palm Creek Virus Modulates West Nile Virus Infection in and Transmission by Australian Mosquitoes Sonja Hall-Mendelin1, Breeanna J
Hall-Mendelin et al. Parasites & Vectors (2016) 9:414 DOI 10.1186/s13071-016-1683-2 RESEARCH Open Access The insect-specific Palm Creek virus modulates West Nile virus infection in and transmission by Australian mosquitoes Sonja Hall-Mendelin1, Breeanna J. McLean2, Helle Bielefeldt-Ohmann2,3, Jody Hobson-Peters2, Roy A. Hall2 and Andrew F. van den Hurk1* Abstract Background: Insect-specific viruses do not replicate in vertebrate cells, but persist in mosquito populations and are highly prevalent in nature. These viruses may naturally regulate the transmission of pathogenic vertebrate-infecting arboviruses in co-infected mosquitoes. Following the isolation of the first Australian insect-specific flavivirus (ISF), Palm Creek virus (PCV), we investigated routes of infection and transmission of this virus in key Australian arbovirus vectors and its impact on replication and transmission of West Nile virus (WNV). Methods: Culex annulirostris, Aedes aegypti and Aedes vigilax were exposed to PCV, and infection, replication and transmission rates in individual mosquitoes determined. To test whether the virus could be transmitted vertically, progeny reared from eggs oviposited by PCV-inoculated Cx. annulirostris were analysed for the presence of PCV. To assess whether prior infection of mosquitoes with PCV could also suppress the transmission of pathogenic flaviviruses, PCV positive or negative Cx. annulirostris were subsequently exposed to WNV. Results: No PCV-infected Cx. annulirostris were detected 16 days after feeding on an infectious blood meal. However, when intrathoracically inoculated with PCV, Cx. annulirostris infection rates were 100 %. Similar rates of infection were observed in Ae. aegypti (100 %) and Ae. vigilax (95 %). Notably, PCV was not detected in any saliva expectorates collected from any of these species. -

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. -
Hantavirus Disease Were HPS Is More Common in Late Spring and Early Summer in Seropositive in One Study in the U.K
Hantavirus Importance Hantaviruses are a large group of viruses that circulate asymptomatically in Disease rodents, insectivores and bats, but sometimes cause illnesses in humans. Some of these agents can occur in laboratory rodents or pet rats. Clinical cases in humans vary in Hantavirus Fever, severity: some hantaviruses tend to cause mild disease, typically with complete recovery; others frequently cause serious illnesses with case fatality rates of 30% or Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal higher. Hantavirus infections in people are fairly common in parts of Asia, Europe and Syndrome (HFRS), Nephropathia South America, but they seem to be less frequent in North America. Hantaviruses may Epidemica (NE), Hantavirus occasionally infect animals other than their usual hosts; however, there is currently no Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), evidence that they cause any illnesses in these animals, with the possible exception of Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary nonhuman primates. Syndrome, Hemorrhagic Nephrosonephritis, Epidemic Etiology Hemorrhagic Fever, Korean Hantaviruses are members of the genus Orthohantavirus in the family Hantaviridae Hemorrhagic Fever and order Bunyavirales. As of 2017, 41 species of hantaviruses had officially accepted names, but there is ongoing debate about which viruses should be considered discrete species, and additional viruses have been discovered but not yet classified. Different Last Updated: September 2018 viruses tend to be associated with the two major clinical syndromes in humans, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary (or cardiopulmonary) syndrome (HPS). However, this distinction is not absolute: viruses that are usually associated with HFRS have been infrequently linked to HPS and vice versa. A mild form of HFRS in Europe is commonly called nephropathia epidemica. -
Infectious Dnas Derived from Insect-Specific Flavivirus

H. Piyasena , Yin X. Setoh, Jody Hobson-Peters, Natalee D. Newton, Helle Bielefeldt-Ohmann, Breeanna J. McLean, Laura J. Vet, Alexander A. Khromykh & Roy A. Hall Flaviviruses such as West Nile virus (WNV), dengue virus and Zika virus are mosquito-borne pathogens that cause signifcant human diseases. A novel group of insect-specifc faviviruses (ISFs), which only replicate in mosquitoes, have also been identifed. However, little is known about the mechanisms of ISF host restriction. We report the generation of infectious cDNA from two Australian ISFs, Parramatta River virus (PaRV) and Palm Creek virus (PCV). Using circular polymerase extension cloning (CPEC) with a modifed OpIE2 insect promoter, infectious cDNA was generated and transfected directly into mosquito cells to produce infectious virus indistinguishable from wild-type virus. When infectious PaRV cDNA under transcriptional control of a mammalian promoter was used to transfect mouse embryo fbroblasts, the virus failed to initiate replication even when cell entry steps were by-passed and the type I interferon response was lacking. We also used CPEC to generate viable chimeric viruses between PCV and WNV. Analysis of these hybrid viruses revealed that ISFs are also restricted from replication in vertebrate cells at the point of entry. The approaches described here to generate infectious ISF DNAs and chimeric viruses provide unique tools to further dissect the mechanisms of their host restriction. -
Zwiesel Bat Banyangvirus, a Potentially Zoonotic Huaiyangshan
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Zwiesel bat banyangvirus, a potentially zoonotic Huaiyangshan banyangvirus (Formerly known as SFTS)–like banyangvirus in Northern bats from Germany Claudia Kohl1*, Annika Brinkmann1, Aleksandar Radonić2, Piotr Wojtek Dabrowski2, Andreas Nitsche1, Kristin Mühldorfer3, Gudrun Wibbelt 3 & Andreas Kurth1 Bats are reservoir hosts for several emerging and re-emerging viral pathogens causing morbidity and mortality in wildlife, animal stocks and humans. Various viruses within the family Phenuiviridae have been detected in bats, including the highly pathogenic Rift Valley fever virus and Malsoor virus, a novel Banyangvirus with close genetic relation to Huaiyangshan banyangvirus (BHAV)(former known as Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus, SFTSV) and Heartland virus (HRTV), both of which have caused severe disease with fatal casualties in humans. In this study we present the whole genome of a novel Banyangvirus, named Zwiesel bat banyangvirus, revealed through deep sequencing of the Eptesicus nilssonii bat virome. The detection of the novel bat banyangvirus, which is in close phylogenetic relationship with the pathogenic HRTV and BHAV, underlines the possible impact of emerging phenuiviruses on public health. Te Banyangvirus genus, currently classifed as part of the Phenuviridae family in the order Bunyavirales, is char- acterized by a tri-segmented, negative- or ambisense ssRNA genome of 11–19 kb length in total. Four structural proteins are encoded on the genome: the L protein (RNA-dependent RNA polymerase) on segment L, two gly- coproteins Gn and Gc on segment M, the nucleocapsid protein on segment N and the nonstructural protein NSs on segment S. Banyangviruses can infect vertebrates and invertebrates and have caused febrile infections, encephalitis and severe fevers with fatal outcome in humans, therefore being increasingly reported as emerging pathogens of public health importance1–3. -

However, only one genus of crustacean reovirus - Cardoreovirus - has been formally recognized by ICTV CsRV1 (International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses) and most crustacean reoviruses remain unclassified. This Cardoreovirus arises in part from ambiguous or incomplete information on which to categorize them. In recent years, increased Crabreovirus availability of crustacean reovirus genomic sequences is making the discovery and classification of crustacean Brachyuran Phylogenetic analysis reoviruses faster and more certain. This minireview describes the properties of the reoviruses infecting crusta ceans and suggests an overall classification of brachyuran crustacean reoviruses based on a combination of morphology, host, genome organization pattern and phylogenetic sequence analysis. 1.
