Analysis of the Complete Tomato Aspermy Virus Genomes Suggests Reassortment in Russian Isolates from Chrysanthemum
Mol Biol (Mosk). 2023 Sep-Oct;57(5):797-806.ABSTRACTTomato aspermy virus (TAV, genus Cucumovirus from the family Bromoviridae) is one of the most common and harmful chrysanthemum viruses, causing severe flower distortion, size reduction, and color breaking. Metatranscriptome sequencing of chrysanthemum plants of the Ribonette and Golden Standard cultivars from the collection of the Nikita Botanical Garden (Yalta, Republic of Crimea) generated TAV-related RNA reads. The complete genomes of two Russian isolates of the virus were assembled from the reads. This is the first report of full-length TAV genomes from Russia. Typica...

Seroprevalence of herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 - data from a hospital-based study in Varna, northeastern Bulgaria, 2019-2021
New Microbiol. 2023 Sep;46(3):308-310.ABSTRACTThe purpose of the current study was to describe the prevalence of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) in northeastern Bulgaria. From January 2019 to December 2021, we tested 1493 samples for anti-HSV-1 IgG and 817 samples for anti-HSV-2 IgG antibodies in the Virology Laboratory, "St. Marina" University Hospital, Varna, Bulgaria. HSV-1 was considerably more widespread, with an overall seroprevalence of 73.3% (95% CI: 71.0-75.5%), than HSV-2 infection, which showed a seropositive rate of 10.0% (95% CI: 8.1-12.4%). Age was the most significant risk factor for b...
