Abstract Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses of the A/Goose/Guangdong/1/1996 lineage (GsGd), which threaten health poultry, wildlife and humans, are spreading across Asia, Europe, Africa North America but currently absent from South Oceania. In December 2021, H5N1 HPAI were detected in poultry a free-living gull St. John’s, Newfoundland Labrador, Canada. Our phylogenetic analysis showed that these most closely related to GsGd circulating northwestern Europe spring 2021. wild...
Phylogenetic evidence from the recent resurgence of high-pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus subtype H5N1, clade 2.3.4.4b, observed in European wild birds and poultry since October 2021, suggests at least two different distinct reservoirs. We propose contrasting hypotheses for this emergence: (i) resident viruses have been maintained, presumably birds, northern Europe throughout summer 2021 to cause some outbreaks that are part most autumn/winter epizootic, or (ii) further variants...
The UK and Europe have seen successive outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza across the 2020/21 2021/22 autumn/winter seasons. Understanding both epidemiology transmission these viruses in different species is critical to aid mitigating measures where cause extensive mortalities land- waterfowl. Infection can result mild or asymptomatic outcomes, acute infections that high morbidity mortality levels. Definition disease outcome great importance understanding role play maintenance...
During 2021 and 2022 High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (HPAI) killed thousands of wild birds across Europe North America, suggesting a change in infection dynamics shift to new hosts, including seabirds. Northern Gannets Morus bassanus appeared be especially severely impacted, but detailed account the data available is required help understand how HPAI virus (HPAIV) spread meta‐population, ensuing demographic consequences. Accordingly, we analyse information on confirmed suspected HPAIV...
Since 2016, A(H5Nx) high pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus of clade 2.3.4.4b has become one the most serious global threats not only to wild and domestic birds, but also public health. In recent years, important changes in ecology, epidemiology, evolution this have been reported, with an unprecedented diffusion variety affected birds mammalian species. After two consecutive devastating epidemic waves Europe 2020-2021 2021-2022, second recognized as largest epidemics recorded so far,...
The diagnosis of rabies is routinely based on clinical and epidemiological information, especially when exposures are reported in rabies-endemic countries. Diagnostic tests using conventional assays that appear to be negative, even undertaken late the disease despite diagnosis, have a tendency, at times, unreliable. These rarely optimal entirely dependent nature quality sample supplied. In course past three decades, application molecular biology has aided development result more rapid...
Evidence in support of a novel lyssavirus was obtained from brain samples an African civet Tanzania. Results phylogenetic analysis nucleoprotein gene sequences representative Lyssavirus species and this provided strong empirical evidence that is new species, designated Ikoma lyssavirus.
LJ001 is a lipophilic thiazolidine derivative that inhibits the entry of numerous enveloped viruses at non-cytotoxic concentrations (IC50 ≤ 0.5 µM), and was posited to exploit physiological difference between static viral membranes biogenic cellular membranes. We now report on molecular mechanism results in LJ001's specific inhibition virus-cell fusion. The antiviral activity light-dependent, required presence oxygen, reversed by singlet oxygen ((1)O2) quenchers, qualifying as type II...
Peste-des-petits ruminants virus (PPRV) is a viral pathogen that causes devastating plague of small ruminants. PPRV an economically significant disease continues to be major obstacle the development sustainable agriculture across developing world. The current understanding pathogenesis has been heavily assumed from closely related rinderpest (RPV) and other morbillivirus infections alongside data derived field outbreaks. There have few studies reported focused on very little known about...
A novel lyssavirus was isolated from brains of Indian flying foxes (Pteropus medius) in Sri Lanka. Phylogenetic analysis complete virus genome sequences, and geographic location host species, provides strong evidence that this is a putative new designated as Gannoruwa bat lyssavirus.
