Searching for palaeontological evidence of viruses that multiply in Insecta and Acarina. Acta zoologica cracoviensia, 46(suppl.– Fossil Insects): 37-50. Abstract. Viruses are known to be agents of important diseases of Insecta and Acarina, and many vertebrate and plant viruses have arthropods as propagative vectors. There is fossil evidence of arthropod pathogens for some micro-organisms, but not for viruses. Iso- lated virions would be hard to detect but, in fossil material, it could be easier to find traces of virus infection, mainly virus-induced cellular structures (VICS), easily recognisable by electron microscopy, such as virions encapsulated in protein occlusion bodies, aggregates of membrane-bounded virus particles and crystalline arrays of numerous virus particles. The following main taxa of viruses that multiply in arthropods are discussed both for some of their evolutionary aspects and for the VICS they cause in arthropods: A. dsDNA Poxviridae, Asfarviridae, Baculoviridae, Iridoviridae, Polydnaviridae and Ascoviridae, infecting mainly Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera and Acarina; B. ssDNA Parvoviridae, infecting mainly Diptera and Lepidoptera; C. dsRNA Reoviridae and Bir- naviridae, infecting mainly Diptera, Hymenoptera and Acarina, and plant viruses also multiplying in Hemiptera; D. Amb.-ssRNA Bunyaviridae and Tenuivirus, that multiply in Diptera and Hemiptera (animal viruses) and in Thysanoptera and Hemiptera (plant vi- ruses); E. -ssRNA Rhabdoviridae, multiplying in Diptera and Acarina (vertebrate vi- ruses), and mainly in Hemiptera (plant viruses); F.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: INTERFERENCE of HOST
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: INTERFERENCE OF HOST INNATE IMMUNE RESPONSE BY HEPATITIS E VIRUS Yuchen Nan, Ph.D., 2014 Directed By: Associate Professor Yanjin Zhang, Department of Veterinary Medicine The host antiviral innate immunity mainly relies on host pattern recognition receptors (PRR) and downstream interferon (IFN) signaling. Host PRR for RNA viruses include Toll-like receptors (TLR) and Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) like receptors (RLR). Activation of both TLR and RLR pathways can eventually lead to the secretion of type I IFNs, which can modulate both innate and adaptive immune responses against viral pathogens, including hepatitis E virus (HEV). HEV causes acute hepatitis in humans and has been responsible for several outbreaks of hepatitis across the world. Currently, no commercial vaccine is available for the prevention of HEV infection in any country except China. HEV biology and pathogenesis as well as its responses to host innate immunity are poorly understood, though other hepatitis viruses, including the hepatitis A, B and C viruses, have been much better studied. In this study, how HEV interferes with IFN induction and IFN-activated signaling had been examined. Results showed that the protein encoded by HEV ORF1 can inhibit type I IFN synthesis and downstream JAK/STAT signaling pathway. However, the HEV ORF3 product is able to enhance RIG-I-mediated signaling to a certain extent. These data suggest that HEV proteins interfere with the host innate immune response and may exert the diverse roles depending on the stage and/or context of infection. These studies contribute to a better understanding of HEV pathogenesis and may facilitate a strategy development for the prevention and control of HEV infection.

  • Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories—6Th Edition
    Section VIII—Agent Summary Statements The agent summary statements contained in Section VIII of the sixth edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL) are designed to assist the reader with the risk assessment for their work, as directed in Section II. The statements are assembled by subject matter experts and represent a summary of key information regarding pathogens with significance to the biomedical community. Although the statements provide recommendations regarding containment for specific activities, they should serve only as the starting point for a laboratory’s risk assessment and should not serve as a substitute for an assessment. The statements cannot fully factor in the change in risk due to the size of a sample, concentration of agent present, change in virulence or pathogenicity, nor any change in ability to provide medical countermeasures due to antibiotic or antiviral resistance. The following list of agents is also not comprehensive, and the reader is directed to other information to assist in the risk assessment, including the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Pathogen Safety Data Sheets (PSDS),1 the American Public Health Association’s Control of Communicable Diseases Manual,2 American Society for Microbiology Manual of Clinical Microbiology,3 and the ABSA Interna- tional Risk Group Database.4 References 1.

    Viral Proteins Originated De Novo by Overprinting Can Be Identified by Codon Usage: Application to the ‘‘Gene Nursery’’ of Deltaretroviruses Angelo Pavesi1*, Gkikas Magiorkinis2, David G. Karlin2,3* 1 Department of Life Sciences, University of Parma, I-43124, Parma, Italy, 2 Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, Oxford, OX1 3PS, United Kingdom, 3 The Division of Structural Biology, University of Oxford, Oxford, OX3 7BN, United Kingdom Abstract A well-known mechanism through which new protein-coding genes originate is by modification of pre-existing genes, e.g. by duplication or horizontal transfer. In contrast, many viruses generate protein-coding genes de novo, via the overprinting of a new reading frame onto an existing (‘‘ancestral’’) frame. This mechanism is thought to play an important role in viral pathogenicity, but has been poorly explored, perhaps because identifying the de novo frames is very challenging. Therefore, a new approach to detect them was needed. We assembled a reference set of overlapping genes for which we could reliably determine the ancestral frames, and found that their codon usage was significantly closer to that of the rest of the viral genome than the codon usage of de novo frames. Based on this observation, we designed a method that allowed the identification of de novo frames based on their codon usage with a very good specificity, but intermediate sensitivity. Using our method, we predicted that the Rex gene of deltaretroviruses has originated de novo by overprinting the Tax gene. Intriguingly, several genes in the same genomic region have also originated de novo and encode proteins that regulate the functions of Tax.
