Rabies is a neglected disease that affects all mammals. To determine the appropriate sanitary measures, schedule of preventive medicine campaigns requires proper identification variants virus circulating in outbreaks, species involved, and interspecific intraspecific movements. Urban rabies has been eradicated developed countries being some developing countries. In Europe North America, oral vaccination programs for wildlife have successful, whereas Latin Asia, Africa, remains public health...
Abstract OBJECTIVE To identify rabies virus variants (RVVs) isolated from bats and terrestrial mammals in Nuevo Leon between 2008 2015 Coahuila 2006. SAMPLE RVVs 15 a cow ( Bos taurus ) Coahuila, along with 46 reference sequences. PROCEDURES Antigenic characterization of the 16 isolates was performed an indirect fluorescent antibody technique. Genomic sequencing nucleoprotein gene reverse transcription PCR assay. Phylogenetic reconstruction 62 sequences by means Bayesian inference. RESULTS 9...
In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) and Pan-American (PAHO) recognized Mexico as a country free of human rabies transmitted by dogs. Nevertheless, sylvatic cycle remains public health concern in country. Although cougars (Puma concolor) are not reservoirs any virus variant (RVV), these felines could act vectors at top food chain, their relationships with other organisms must be considered important for regulatory effect on prey's populations. this study, genetic antigenic...
Recently, the presence of antibodies and dengue virus (DV) RNA in neotropical wild mammals, including Desmodus rotundus, was reported. In a previous study, DV also found high percentage (39.6%) ectoparasitic hematophagous dipters specifics these bats. order to verify susceptibility ectoparasites DV, this work experimental infections with VD2 organs explants Strebla wiedemanni Melophagus ovinus were performed using C6/36 cells as control. Viral titers (UFP/mL) determined at 0, 48 96 hrs pi....
Introducción: La prueba biológica establecida por la Organización Mundial de Salud para aislar y amplificar el virus rabia consiste en inocular vía intracraneal ratones lactantes detectar signos un periodo 21 días.Objetivo: Constatar contagio viral las madres inoculados con rabia.Método: Veintisiete aislados mexicanos se inocularon lactantes, los cuales fueron observados días sus madres, 60 días.El diagnóstico llevó a cabo mediante inmunofluorescencia cerebro.El caracterizó secuenciación...
Bats are important natural reservoir hosts of a diverse range viruses that can be transmitted to humans and have been suggested play an role in the Zika virus (ZIKV) transmission cycle. However, exact these animals as reservoirs for flaviviruses is still controversial. To further expand our understanding bats ZIKV cycle Latin America, we carried out experimental infection wild-caught Artibeus lituratus sampled several free-living neotropical across three countries region. Experimental was...
In humans, co-infection of hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV, HCV) is common aggravates disease outcome. Infection-mediated aggravation poorly understood, partly due to lack suitable animal models. Carnivores are understudied for virus homologues. We investigated Mexican carnivores (ringtails, Bassariscus astutus) HBV HCV Three out eight animals were infected with a divergent termed ringtail (RtHBV) at high viral loads 5 × 109 -1.4 1010 copies/ml serum. Two the RtHBV-infected co-infected...

Arthropod-borne flaviviruses like dengue virus (DENV) and yellow fever (YFV) are major human pathogens. In Latin America, YFV is maintained in sylvatic cycles involving non-human primates (NHP) forest-dwelling mosquitos. supposedly does not circulate north of Panama.We conducted a serologic study for other emerging viruses NHP from southeastern Mexico. A total thirty sera black-handed spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi, n = 25), black howler (Alouatta pigra, 3), mantled (Al. palliata, 2)...
