Tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling-based quantitative proteomic analysis reveals the cellular protein characteristics of 16HBE cells infected with coxsackievirus A10 and the potential effect of HMGB1 on viral replication
AbstractCoxsackievirus A10 (CV-A10) is recognized as one of the most important pathogens associated with hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in young children under 5 years of age worldwide, and it can lead to fatal neurological complications. However, available commercial vaccines fail to protect against CV-A10. Therefore, there is an urgent need to study new protein targets of CV-A10 and develop novel vaccine-based therapeutic strategies. Advances in proteomics in recent years have enabled a comprehensive understanding of host pathogen interactions. Here, to study CV-A10-host interactions, a global quantitative proteomi...

Detection and full-genotype determination of rare and reassortant rotavirus A strains in Nizhny Novgorod in the European part of Russia
AbstractReassortant DS-1-like rotavirus A strains have been shown to circulate widely in many countries around the world. In Russia, the prevalence of such strains remains unclear due to the preferred use of the traditional binary classification system. In this work, we obtained partial sequence data from all 11 genome segments and determined the full-genotype constellations of rare and reassortant rotaviruses circulating in Nizhny Novgorod in 2016 –2019. DS-1-like G3P[8] and G8P[8] strains were found, reflecting the global trend. Most likely, these strains were introduced into the territory of Russia from other countrie...

Role of Tim-3 in COVID-19: a potential biomarker and therapeutic target
AbstractT cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing protein 3 (Tim-3), an immune checkpoint, is important for maintaining immune tolerance. There is increasing evidence that Tim-3 is aberrantly expressed in patients with COVID-19, indicating that it may play an important role in COVID-19. In this review, we discuss the altered expression and potential role of Tim-3 in COVID-19. The expression of Tim-3 and its soluble form (sTim-3) has been found to be upregulated in COVID-19 patients. The levels of Tim-3 on T cells and circulating sTim-3 have been shown to be associated with the severity of COVID-19, suggesting that ...

Genomic analysis and characterization of bacteriophage vB_SpuS_NX263 infecting Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Pullorum
In this study, a newSalmonella phage, NX263, was isolated from sewage. This phage could lyse 90.57% (48/53) of the bacterial strains tested and showed good activity over a wide range of temperature (up to 60 °C) and pH (5–10). Phylogenetic analysis showed that it should be classified as a member of the genusSkatevirus. The genome of phage NX263 is 46,574 bp in length with a GC content of 45.52%. It contains 89 open reading frames and two tRNA genes. No lysogeny, drug resistance, or virulence-associated genes were identified in the genome sequence, suggesting that this phage could potentially be used to treatSalmonella P...

In vitro propagation of infectious hypodermal hematopoietic necrosis virus (Penaeus stylirostris penstyldensovirus) in PmLyO-Sf9 cells
AbstractInfectious hypodermal hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV/PstDVI) was isolated and propagated in the hybrid shrimp-insect cell linePmLyO-Sf9. A few hours after inoculation with an infected tissue extract or virus suspension, cytopathic changes could be observed in the cell line, including clustering, enlargement, syncytium formation, granulation, vacuole formation, tapering, irregularities in the plasma membrane with extended tails, detachment, cell death, and accumulation of cellular debris. Expression of viral genes, the presence of virions, and cytological changes observed using transmission electron microscopy ...

Detection of mpox virus in ambient air in a sexual health clinic
AbstractAlthough transmitted mainly through direct (sexual) contact, mpox virus (MPXV) can be detected in ambient air. We explored the use of air sampling for diagnosis or (genomic) surveillance of mpox in a sexual health clinic. For six out of six patients who were infected with MPXV, all four of our ambient air PCR tests were positive. For 14 uninfected patients, PCR was positive in three ambient air samples, albeit with higher cycle threshold (Ct) values. Genomic sequencing of samples from two positive patients showed matching sequences between air and clinical samples. (Source: Archives of Virology)

Complete genome sequence of a novel chrysovirus infecting Aspergillus terreus
AbstractA double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mycovirus was obtained fromAspergillus terreus strain HJ3-26 and designated"Aspergillus terreus chrysovirus 1" (AtCV1). It consists of four dsRNA segments (dsRNA1-4) with lengths of 3612 bp, 3132 bp, 3153 bp, and 3144 bp, respectively. Sequence analysis showed that dsRNA1 encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), dsRNA2 encodes a capsid protein, and both dsRNA3 and dsRNA4 encode hypothetical proteins. Phylogenetic analysis of the RdRp suggested that AtCV1 is a member of a new species of the genusAlphachrysovirus in the familyChrysoviridae. This is the first chrysovirus ...

Detection of porcine circovirus 2, porcine parvovirus 1, and torque teno sus virus k2a in wild boars from northeastern Patagonia, Argentina
AbstractWild boars can act as a reservoir of pathogenic viruses that affect the pig industry. Here, we assessed the presence of porcine circovirus 2, porcine parvovirus 1, and torque teno sus virus k2a in wild boars in northeastern Patagonia (Argentina). Total DNA was extracted from the tonsils of 27 animals (collected between early 2016 and mid-2019) and used to prepare sample pools, which were subjected to viral detection through two-round PCR assays. Sequencing of the amplification products and phylogenetic analysis confirmed the occurrence of all of the aforementioned infectious agents. (Source: Archives of Virology)
