  • For the Riparian Brush Rabbit (Sylvilagus Bachmani Riparius)
    CONTROLLED PROPAGATION AND REINTRODUCTION PLAN FOR THE RIPARIAN BRUSH RABBIT (SYLVILAGUS BACHMANI RIPARIUS) Ó B. Moose Peterson, Wildlife Research Photography by DANIEL F. WILLIAMS, PATRICK A. KELLY, AND LAURISSA P. HAMILTON ENDANGERED SPECIES RECOVERY PROGRAM CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, STANISLAUS TURLOCK, CA 95382 6 JULY 2002 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We present a plan for controlled propagation and reintroduction of riparian brush rab- bits (Sylvilagus bachmani riparius), a necessary set of tasks for its recovery, as called for in the Recovery Plan for Upland Species of the San Joaquin Valley, California1. This controlled propagation and reintroduction plan follows the criteria and recommendations of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Policy Regarding Controlled Propagation of Spe- cies Listed under the Endangered Species Act2. It is organized along the lines recom- mended in the draft version of that policy and meets the criteria of the final policy. It should be viewed in an adaptive management context in that as events unfold, unexpected changes and new information will require modifications. Modifications will be appended to this document. Controlled Propagation is necessary for the riparian brush rabbit 1) to provide a source of individuals for reintroduction to restored habitat for establishing new, self- sustaining populations, 2) to augment existing populations if needed, 3) and to ensure the prevention of extinction of the species in the wild. We propose to establish three breed- ing colonies in separate enclosures of 1.2-1.4 acres each. Predator-resistant enclosures will be erected around existing, but unoccupied natural habitat for brush rabbits. Enclo- sures will be located on State land surrounded by irrigated agriculture that provides no habitat for brush rabbits.

  • Teschen Disease (Teschovirus Encephalomyelitis) Eradication in Czechoslovakia: a Historical Report
    Historical Report Veterinarni Medicina, 54, 2009 (11): 550–560 Teschen disease (Teschovirus encephalomyelitis) eradication in Czechoslovakia: a historical report V. Kouba* Prague, Czech Republic ABSTRACT: Teschen disease (previously also known as Klobouk’s disease), actually called Teschovirus encepha- lomyelitis, is a virulent fatal viral disease of swine, characterized by severe neurological disorders of encephalomy- elitis. It was initially discovered in the Teschen district of North-Eastern Moravia. During the 1940s and 1950s it caused serious losses to the pig production industry in Europe. The most critical situation at that time, however, was in the former Czechoslovakia. A nationally organized eradication programme started in 1952. That year the reported number of new cases of Teschen disease reached 137 396, i.e., an incidence rate of 2 794 per 100 000 pigs, in 14 801 villages with 65 597 affected farms, i.e., 4.43 affected farms per village and 2.10 diseased pigs per affected farm. The average territorial density of new cases was 1.07 per km2. For etiological diagnosis histological investigation of the central nervous system, isolation of virus and seroneutralization were used. Preventive meas- ures consisted in feeding pigs with sterilized waste food and in ring vaccination. Eradication measures took the form of the timely detection and reporting of new cases, isolating outbreak areas, and the slaughter of intrafocal pigs followed by sanitation measures. Diseased pigs were usually destroyed in rendering facilities. The carcasses of other intrafocal pigs were treated as conditionally comestible, i.e., only after sterilization. During the years 1952–1965 from a reported 537 480 specifically diseased pigs 36 558 died; i.e., Teschen disease mortality rate was 6.80% while other intrafocal pigs (88.12%) were urgently slaughtered.

  • 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.

  • Genetic Content and Evolution of Adenoviruses Andrew J
    Journal of General Virology (2003), 84, 2895–2908 DOI 10.1099/vir.0.19497-0 Review Genetic content and evolution of adenoviruses Andrew J. Davison,1 Ma´ria Benko´´ 2 and Bala´zs Harrach2 Correspondence 1MRC Virology Unit, Institute of Virology, Church Street, Glasgow G11 5JR, UK Andrew Davison 2Veterinary Medical Research Institute, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, H-1581 Budapest, [email protected] Hungary This review provides an update of the genetic content, phylogeny and evolution of the family Adenoviridae. An appraisal of the condition of adenovirus genomics highlights the need to ensure that public sequence information is interpreted accurately. To this end, all complete genome sequences available have been reannotated. Adenoviruses fall into four recognized genera, plus possibly a fifth, which have apparently evolved with their vertebrate hosts, but have also engaged in a number of interspecies transmission events. Genes inherited by all modern adenoviruses from their common ancestor are located centrally in the genome and are involved in replication and packaging of viral DNA and formation and structure of the virion. Additional niche-specific genes have accumulated in each lineage, mostly near the genome termini. Capture and duplication of genes in the setting of a ‘leader–exon structure’, which results from widespread use of splicing, appear to have been central to adenovirus evolution. The antiquity of the pre-vertebrate lineages that ultimately gave rise to the Adenoviridae is illustrated by morphological similarities between adenoviruses and bacteriophages, and by use of a protein-primed DNA replication strategy by adenoviruses, certain bacteria and bacteriophages, and linear plasmids of fungi and plants.

Viral particles were enriched from the feces of 51 wild urban pigeons (Columba livia) from Hong Kong and Hungary, their nucleic acids randomly amplified and then sequenced. We identified sequences from known and novel species from the viral families Circoviridae, Parvoviridae, Picornaviridae, Reoviridae, Adenovirus, Astroviridae, and Caliciviridae (listed in decreasing number of reads), as well as plant and insect viruses likely originating from consumed food. The near full genome of a new species of a proposed parvovirus genus provisionally called Aviparvovirus contained an unusually long middle ORF showing weak similarity to an ORF of unknown function from a fowl adenovirus. Picornaviruses found in both Asia and Europe that are distantly related to the turkey megrivirus and contained a highly divergent 2A1 region were named mesiviruses.

  • Functional Studies of the Coronavirus Nonstructural Proteins Yanglin QIU and Kai XU*
    REVIEW ARTICLE Functional studies of the coronavirus nonstructural proteins Yanglin QIU and Kai XU* Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Microbes and Functional Genomics, College of Life Sciences, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing 210023, P. R. China. *Correspondence: [email protected] https://doi.org/10.37175/stemedicine.v1i2.39 ABSTRACT Coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV, have caused contagious and fatal respiratory diseases in humans worldwide. Notably, the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 spread rapidly in early 2020 and became a global pandemic. The nonstructural proteins of coronaviruses are critical components of the viral replication machinery. They function in viral RNA transcription and replication, as well as counteracting the host innate immunity. Studies of these proteins not only revealed their essential role during viral infection but also help the design of novel drugs targeting the viral replication and immune evasion machinery. In this review, we summarize the functional studies of each nonstructural proteins and compare the similarities and differences between nonstructural proteins from different coronaviruses. Keywords: Coronavirus · SARS-CoV-2 · COVID-19 · Nonstructural proteins · Drug discovery Introduction genes (18). The first two major ORFs (ORF1a, ORF1ab) The coronavirus (CoV) outbreaks among human are the replicase genes, and the other four encode viral populations have caused three major epidemics structural proteins that comprise the essential protein worldwide, since the beginning of the 21st century. These components of the coronavirus virions, including the spike are the epidemics of the severe acute respiratory syndrome surface glycoprotein (S), envelope protein (E), matrix (SARS) in 2003 (1, 2), the Middle East respiratory protein (M), and nucleocapsid protein (N) (14, 19, 20).

In the United States of America (USA) these dietary changes resulted in doubling of produce-associated disease outbreaks per year from 1973-1992 (USA Food and Drug Administration, 1998). However, over the past 10-15 years the number of foodborne disease outbreaks has declined. The number of CDC outbreak reports varied between 1243 to 1417 during 2000-2002 in comparison to only 800 to 850 outbreaks reported from 2009-2013 (http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2015/06/the-prevalence-of-foodborne-illness; accessed 12 July 2015).

  • A Scoping Review of Viral Diseases in African Ungulates
    veterinary sciences Review A Scoping Review of Viral Diseases in African Ungulates Hendrik Swanepoel 1,2, Jan Crafford 1 and Melvyn Quan 1,* 1 Vectors and Vector-Borne Diseases Research Programme, Department of Veterinary Tropical Disease, Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria, Pretoria 0110, South Africa; [email protected] (H.S.); [email protected] (J.C.) 2 Department of Biomedical Sciences, Institute of Tropical Medicine, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +27-12-529-8142 Abstract: (1) Background: Viral diseases are important as they can cause significant clinical disease in both wild and domestic animals, as well as in humans. They also make up a large proportion of emerging infectious diseases. (2) Methods: A scoping review of peer-reviewed publications was performed and based on the guidelines set out in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews. (3) Results: The final set of publications consisted of 145 publications. Thirty-two viruses were identified in the publications and 50 African ungulates were reported/diagnosed with viral infections. Eighteen countries had viruses diagnosed in wild ungulates reported in the literature. (4) Conclusions: A comprehensive review identified several areas where little information was available and recommendations were made. It is recommended that governments and research institutions offer more funding to investigate and report viral diseases of greater clinical and zoonotic significance. A further recommendation is for appropriate One Health approaches to be adopted for investigating, controlling, managing and preventing diseases. Diseases which may threaten the conservation of certain wildlife species also require focused attention.
