Most prominent members include Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV), sandfly fever Naples virus (SFNV), sandfly fever Sicilian virus (SFSV), Toscana virus (TOSV), Punta Toro virus (PTV), and the two new members severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) and Heartland virus (HRTV). The nonstructural protein NSs is well established as the main phleboviral virulence factor in the mammalian host. NSs acts as antagonist of the antiviral type I interferon (IFN) system. Recent progress in the elucidation of the molecular functions of a growing list of NSs proteins highlights the astonishing variety of strategies employed by phleboviruses to evade the IFN system. Keywords: phlebovirus; NSs protein; interferon; RIG-I; PKR 1. Introduction The family Bunyaviridae contains five genera, among which the Orthobunyavirus, Phlebovirus, Nairovirus, and Hantavirus all contain species that are pathogenic to humans and animals, while the genus Tospovirus contains

  • Chapter 11. Phlebotomus Fever—Sandfly Fever
    Chapter 11 Phlebotomus Fever—Sandfly Fever Koray Ergunay Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Medical Microbiology, Virology Unit, Ankara, Turkey CASE PRESENTATION During mid-August, a 27-year-old male was admitted to the emergency ward with high fever, chills, severe headache, joint pain, watery diarrhea, nausea and, vomiting, which had started the day before. The initial complete physical examination demonstrated a fever of 38.9C, generalized muscle tenderness, and multiple skin lesions suggesting insect bites on the upper left limb. Neurological examination was normal without meningeal signs. Medical his- tory revealed no previous disease of significance but an exposure to mosqui- toes during his stay at his cousin’s cottage 5 days ago. He had vomited three times during the last 24 hours. No apparent risk for infectious gastroenteritis could be identified. Laboratory evaluation demonstrated decreased leukocyte count (3.8 3 103/μL) with relative lymphocytosis, decreased platelet count (1.32 3 105/μL), elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT, 101 U/L), aspartate aminotransferase (AST, 128 U/L), gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT, 107 U/L), creatinine phosphokinase (CPK, 428 U/L), and lactate dehydroge- nase (LDH, 354 U/L) levels. Hemoglobulin, C-reactive protein, total protein, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), albumin, creatinine, prothrombin time (PT), acti- vated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), international normalized ratio (INR), and the chest X-ray were within normal limits. The patient was trans- ferred to the infectious diseases department with the preliminary diagnosis of undifferentiated viral febrile condition, and blood and stool samples were sub- mitted for microbiological analyses. Symptomatic treatment with intravenous rehydration and anti-pyretics was initiated.

  • 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.

Andrew White Received: 16 May 2017; Accepted: 6 July 2017; Published: 11 July 2017 Abstract: Sterility mosaic disease (SMD) of pigeonpea is a serious constraint for cultivation of pigeonpea in India and other South Asian countries. SMD of pigeonpea is associated with two distinct emaraviruses, Pigeonpea sterility mosaic virus 1 (PPSMV‐1) and Pigeonpea sterility mosaic virus 2 (PPSMV‐2), with genomes consisting of five and six negative‐sense RNA segments, respectively. The recently published genome sequences of both PPSMV‐1 and PPSMV‐2 are from a single location, Patancheru from the state of Telangana in India. However, here we present the first report of sequence variability among 23 isolates of PPSMV‐1 and PPSMV‐2, collected from ten locations representing six states of India. Both PPSMV‐1 and PPSMV‐2 are shown to be present across India and to exhibit considerable sequence variability. Variability of RNA3 sequences was higher than the RNA4 sequences for both PPSMV‐1 and PPSMV‐2. Additionally, the sixth RNA segment (RNA6), previously reported to be associated with only PPSMV‐2, is also associated with isolates of PPSMV‐1. Multiplex reverse transcription PCR (RT‐PCR) analyses show that PPSMV‐1 and PPSMV‐2 frequently occur as mixed infections.

  • A New Emaravirus Discovered in Pistacia from Turkey

The analysis produced some contigs showing similarity with RNAs of emaraviruses. High throughput sequencing Seven distinct negative–sense, single-stranded RNAs were identified as belonging to a new putative virus in- Pistachio fecting pistachio. The amino acid sequence identity compared to homologs in the genus Emaravirus ranged from 71% for the replicase gene on RNA1, to 36% for the putative RNA7 gene product. All the RNA molecules were verified in a pistachio plant by RT-PCR and conventional sequencing. Although the analysed plants showeda range of symptoms, it was not possible to univocally associate the virus with a peculiar one. The possible virus transmission by mite vector needs to be demonstrated by a survey, to observe spread and potential effect on yield in the growing areas of the crop. Pistachio (Pistacia spp.) is an important crop worldwide, with a ampelovirus A) and a pistachio variant of a viroid (Citrus bark cracking global production of more than 1 million tons (FAOstat, 2016).

  • Interaction with Other Flaviviruses (Pre-Existing Immunity, Co-Infection, Cross- Reactivity)
    Interaction with other flaviviruses (pre-existing immunity, co-infection, cross- reactivity) Alan D.T. Barrett Department of Pathology Sealy Center for Vaccine Development University of Texas Medical Branch Galveston TX Flavivirus genome 50nm particle. SS, +RNA genome. 10 genes, 3 structural. Beck, A. Barrett, ADT. (2015) Exp Rev Vaccines. 1-14. 2 Flavivirus E protein epitopes • Studies with human and mouse polyclonal sera show extensive serologic cross-reactivities between flaviviruses in terms of physical (ELISA) and biological (HAI and neutralization) assays • Studies with mouse, non-human primate, and human monoclonal antibodies show essentially the same result that all flaviviruses studied to date have a range of E protein epitopes ranging in flavivirus cross-reactive (e.g., mab 4G2 or 6B6C-1), to flavivirus intermediate (e.g., mab 1B7), to serocomplex specific (e.g., DENV-1 to DENV-4; mab MDVP-55A), to flavivirus species specific (e.g., mab 3H5 that is DENV-2 specific). Strain specific epitopes are rare. • Flavivirus infection induces a range of antibodies, including those that recognize multiple flaviviruses. A second, but different, flavivirus infection potentiates induction of flavivirus cross-reactive antibodies. • Most epitopes are “conformational” or “quaternary”. Very few epitopes are linear. Very few epitopes appear to elicit high titer neutralizing antibodies.
