Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1799: Structural Characterization of Canine Minute Virus, Rat and Porcine Bocavirus
This study investigates Canine minute virus (CnMV), Rat bocavirus (RBoV), and Porcine bocavirus 1 (PBoV1). Both CnMV and PBoV1 have been found in gastrointestinal infections in their respective hosts, with CnMV responsible for spontaneous abortions in dogs, while PBoV has been associated with encephalomyelitis in piglets. The pathogenicity of the recently identified RBoV is currently unknown. To initiate the characterization of these viruses, their capsids structures were determined by cryo-electron microscopy at resolutions ranging from 2.3 to 2.7 Å. Compared to other parvoviruses, the CnMV, PBoV1, and RBoV ...

Demographic and clinical characteristics of human bocavirus-1 infection in patients with acute respiratory tract infections during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Central Province of Sri Lanka
Human bocavirus-1 (hBoV-1) was first detected in respiratory specimens in 2005. Due to high co-infection rates and prolonged shedding of the virus, the pathogenic role of hBoV-1 as a primary causative agent of... (Source: BMC Infectious Diseases)

HBoV-1: virus structure, genomic features, life cycle, pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis and clinical manifestations
The single-stranded DNA virus known as human bocavirus 1 (HBoV-1) is an icosahedral, linear member of the Parvoviridae family. In 2005, it was discovered in nasopharyngeal samples taken from kids who had respiratory tract illnesses. The HBoV genome is 4.7–5.7 kb in total length. The HBoV genome comprises three open-reading frames (ORF1, ORF2, and ORF3) that express structural proteins (VP1, VP2, and VP3), viral non-coding RNA, and non-structural proteins (NS1, NS1-70, NS2, NS3, and NP1) (BocaSR). The NS1 and NP1 are crucial for viral DNA replication and are substantially conserved proteins. Replication of the HBoV-1 geno...

Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1101: Molecular Profiling of Inflammatory Mediators in Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Human Bocavirus Infection
In this study, the change in the expression profile of cytokines and chemokines were determined during HRSV, HBoV, and HRSV coinfection with HBoV in 75 nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPAs) samples, positive real-time reverse transcriptase PCR Assay (rRT-PCR) for HRSV (n = 36), HBoV (n = 23) infection alone or HRSV coinfection with HBoV (n = 16). The samples were collected from hospitalized children. qPCR-based detection revealed that the levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-13, IL-33, and G-CSF were significantly (p  <  0.05) greater in patients than in controls. IL-4, IL-17, GM-CSF, and CCL-5 ...

Circulation of unusual and diverse enteric virus strains in adults with acute gastroenteritis: a study from Pune (Maharashtra), Western India
In this study, fecal samples (n = 110) from adults with acute gastroenteritis in Pune, Western India, were tested for six enteric viruses, and the prevalence of these viruses was as follows: rotavirus A (RVA), 38.5%; enterovirus (EV), 23.1%; astrovirus (AstV), 23.1%; adenovirus (AdV), 7.7%; human bocavirus (HBoV), 7.7%; norovirus (NoV), 0%. Circulation of the RVA G1P[8], G3P[8], G9P[4], CVA-10, echovirus E13, EVC-116, AstV-5, AstV-2, HBoV-1, and AdVC-2 types was observed. When compared to the RotaTeq, Rotarix, and RotaVac vaccine strains, antigenic changes were found in the A, B, C, and F regions of the RVA strains. The ci...

The disappearance of respiratory syncytial virus and influenza viruses in children during the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic - are non-pharmaceutical interventions as effective as vaccines?
CONCLUSIONS: Influenza and RSV viruses disappeared during the pandemic period and rhinovirus was the second most common virus after the CoVs during and after the restriction period. Non-pharmaceutical interventions should be established as a precaution to prevent infectious diseases even after the pandemic.PMID:37140326 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202304_32178 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)
