In this study, we isolated and identified 11 ARV field strains from chickens with viral arthritis and reduced growth in northern China. Comparative analysis of the σC nucleotide and amino acid sequences demonstrated that all isolates, except LN05 and JS01, were closely related to ARV S1133 and clustered in the first genetic lineage. LN05 and JS01 strains were clustered in the third lineage with the ARV 138 strain. Using S1133 as a reference, five isolates were selected to infect specific-pathogen-free chickens, and we found that the recent isolated Chinese ARV strains had higher replication ability in vivo and caused enhanced mortality than the S1133 strain. These findings suggest that the pathogenicity of Chinese ARVs has been changing in recent years and disease control may become more difficult. This study provides genetic and pathogenic characterisations of ARV strains isolated in northern China and calls for a sustained surveillance of ARV infection in China in order to support a better prevention and control of the disease. Avian reoviruses (ARVs) are important poultry pathogens that cause considerable economic losses in poultry husbandry1. ARVs were first described and isolated as the pathogenic agents responsible for tenosynovitis in young chickens in 19592.

  • Pathogenicity of Variant Field Isolates of Avian Reovirus And
    PATHOGENICITY OF VARIANT FIELD ISOLATES OF AVIAN REOVIRUS AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF BRAZILIAN VARIANTS FROM COMMERCIAL BROILERS by RAFAEL AZAMBUJA BAMPI (Under the Direction of Holly S. Sellers) ABSTRACT Avian reoviruses are the causative agent of arthritis/tenosynovitis in broilers and turkeys. Since 2011, it has been observed an increased incidence of variant reoviruses inducing tenosynovitis in commercial poultry flocks in the U.S and worldwide, raising the question of cross species infection. Two turkey reoviruses isolates from clinical cases of tenosynovitis in commercial turkey breeders, 105057 and 105208, demonstrated to be pathogenic to commercial broilers, causing tenosynovitis with clinical signs of lameness (105057) and also, enteric disease (105208). Additionally, viral shedding was poor, demonstrating limited horizontal transmission. In commercial turkeys these isolates caused clinical disease and were efficiently shed. In addition, a chicken arthritis reovirus was inoculated in turkeys, but did not cause disease. Taken together, turkey arthritis reoviruses 105057 and 105208 represent a threat for the poultry industry. Additionally, it was determined for the first time the molecular characterization of arthritis reovirus variants from lame commercial broilers from Brazil.

Palomino-Tapia 2020 Abstract Avian Reovirus (ARV), Chicken Astrovirus (CAstV), and Hemorrhagic Enteritis Virus (HEV) are important enteric pathogens affecting poultry production around the world. These agents are the causative agents of Viral Arthritis (VA), White Chick Syndrome (WCS), and Hemorrhagic Enteritis (HE), respectively. In meat-type chickens, pathogenic strains of ARV can replicate in the joints leading to edema, inflammatory cell infiltrate, and fibrosis, which results in rupture of tendons. Similarly, pathogenic strains of CAstV can cause transient increase in mid to late embryo mortality, reducing hatchability between 4-68%, with some hatched birds exhibiting pale plumage; these “white chicks” (WCS) usually die within the first week of life.

  • Viral Proteins As Emerging Cancer Therapeutics
    cancers Review Viral Proteins as Emerging Cancer Therapeutics Ekta Manocha, Arnaldo Caruso and Francesca Caccuri * Section of Microbiology, Department of Molecular and Translational Medicine, University of Brescia Medical School, 25123 Brescia, Italy; [email protected] (E.M.); [email protected] (A.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-030-394491; Fax: +39-030-395258 Simple Summary: This review is focused on enlisting viral proteins from different host sources, irrespective of their origin, that may act as future cancer curatives. Unlike the viral proteins that are responsible for tumor progression, these newly emerged viral proteins function as tumor suppressors. Their ability to regulate various cell signaling mechanisms specifically in cancer cells makes them interesting candidates to explore their use in cancer therapy. The discussion about such viral components may provide new insights into cancer treatment in the absence of any adverse effects to normal cells. The study also highlights avian viral proteins as a substitute to human oncolytic viruses for their ability to evade pre-existing immunity. Abstract: Viruses are obligatory intracellular parasites that originated millions of years ago. Viral elements cover almost half of the human genome sequence and have evolved as genetic blueprints in humans. They have existed as endosymbionts as they are largely dependent on host cell metabolism. Viral proteins are known to regulate different mechanisms in the host cells by hijacking cellular metabolism to benefit viral replication. Amicable viral proteins, on the other hand, from several viruses can participate in mediating growth retardation of cancer cells based on genetic abnormalities while sparing normal cells.
