... White tail disease (WTD) is a disease of Macrobrachium rosenbergii caused by Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus (MrNV) and extra small virus (XSV) with the potential to devastate the aquaculture industry. The present study aimed to explore the possible protection of M. rosenbergii against the disease by oral administration of bacterially expressed recombinant capsid proteins of MrNV and XSV. Juve ...
... Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus (MrNV) affects the larval, post-larval, and juvenile stages of M. rosenbergii, the giant freshwater prawn, causing white tail disease (WTD). With its high mortality, WTD is a severe threat to shrimp and prawn farming. We describe the development and optimization of an antibody-based lateral flow assay (LFA) for the early detection of MrNV in the post-larval (PL) ...

Abstract:
... Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus (MrNv) causes white tail disease (WTD) in the giant freshwater prawn, which poses a major issue in the aquaculture sector. The capsid protein (CP) of MrNv expressed in Escherichia coli self-assembles into virus-like particles (VLPs) with a triangulation number, T = 3. However, the region in MrNv CP that involved in the viral capsid formation has yet to be identi ...

Abstract:
... Culex mosquitoes are vectors of several flaviviruses and alphaviruses posing a potential risk to public and veterinary health. In order to gain an insight into the flaviviruses and alphaviruses circulating in the five regional units of Central Macedonia in northern Greece, 17,470 female Culex spp. mosquitoes collected during 2018 were tested for these viruses. Among 229 mosquito pools, West Nile v ...

Abstract:
... Most cells can release extracellular vesicles (EVs), membrane vesicles containing various proteins, nucleic acids, enzymes, and signaling molecules. The exchange of EVs between cells facilitates intercellular communication, amplification of cellular responses, immune response modulation, and perhaps alterations in viral pathogenicity. EVs serve a dual role in inhibiting or enhancing viral infectio ...

Abstract:
... In this study, we investigated the molecular characteristics and spatio-temporal dynamics of GII.P17-GII.17 norovirus in Zhoushan Islands during 2013–2018. We collected 1849 samples from sporadic acute gastroenteritis patients between January 2013 and August 2018 in Zhoushan Islands, China. Among the 1849 samples, 134 (7.24%) samples were positive for human norovirus (HuNoV). The complete sequence ...

Abstract:
... The giant freshwater prawn/giant river prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii is one of the high market value crustaceans cultured worldwide. The intensified aquaculture of the species has led to the outbreak of infectious diseases, prominently, the white tail disease (WTD). It is caused by the infection of Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus (MrNV), which was classified in the family of Nodaviridae. To ...
... Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) are widespread amongst domesticated sheep and goats worldwide. Infection of wild ruminants in close contact with affected domesticated small ruminants has been proposed as an actor in SRLV epidemiology, but studies are limited. The aim of this study was to estimate the apparent (AP) and estimated prevalence (EP) of exposure to SRLV infection in wild ruminants fro ...

Abstract:
... Camelpox virus is the causative agent of Camelpox, a highly contagious disease of camels. A high passage Camelpox virus strain has previously been reported to contain several genes which more closely resemble Vaccinia, a virus species with no known natural host, encompassing various strains that show high inter-strain genomic variation. In this study, we demonstrate that yet another high passage, ...

Abstract:
... Massive viral outbreaks draw attention to viruses that have not been thoroughly studied or understood. In recent decades, microfluidic chips, known as “lab-on-a-chip”, appears as a promising tool for the detection of viruses. Here, we review the development of microfluidic chips that could be used in response to viral detection, specifically for viruses involved in more recent outbreaks. The advan ...

Abstract:
... Animal models and cell lines are invaluable for virology research and host–pathogen interaction studies. However, it is increasingly evident that these models are not sufficient to fully understand human viral diseases. With the advent of three-dimensional organotypic cultures, it is now possible to study viral infections in the human context. This perspective explores the potential of these organ ...

... BACKGROUND: Haliotis discus hannai more commonly referred to as the Pacific Abalone is of significant commercial and economical value in South Korea, with it being the second largest producer in the world. Despite this significance there is a lack of genetic studies with regards to the species. Most existing studies focused mainly on environmental factors. OBJECTIVE: To provide a comprehensive rev ...

Abstract:
... The advancement of human knowledge has historically followed the pattern of one-step growth (the same pattern followed by microorganisms in laboratory culture conditions). In this way, each new important discovery opened the door to multiple secondary breakthroughs, eventually reaching a “plateau” when new findings emerged. Microbiology research has usually followed this pattern, but often the con ...

... Infection of canids with canine parvovirus (CPV) can result in severe, often fatal disease. This study aimed to examine climatic, socioeconomic and geographic risk factors for CPV infection and CPV-associated euthanasia in Australia. Australian veterinary hospital responses (534; 23.5 %) to a national veterinary survey of CPV case occurrences and euthanasias in 2016 were used. Severe caseloads (>4 ...
... Edible microalgae have potential as low-cost cell factories for the production and oral delivery of recombinant proteins such as vaccines, anti-bacterials and gut-active enzymes that are beneficial to farmed animals including livestock, poultry and fish. However, a major economic and technical problem associated with large-scale cultivation of microalgae, even in closed photobioreactors, is invasi ...
... White tail disease (WTD) of cultured Macrobrachium rosenbergii is caused by Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus (MrNV) and extra small virus (XSV). Since both the viruses have small single strand RNA as genetic material with short generation time, they are more prone to mutations. Hence detection methods developed for one strain may be suboptimal for the detection of isolates from the different ge ...
