ABSTRACT We report two coding-complete genome sequences of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus 2 from field clinical samples obtained in 2021 (BA2021012A) 2023 (ME20230008B-2) the Philippines. BA2021012A (15,388 bp) is classified as a lineage L8C strain while ME20230008B-2 (15,513 vaccine-like L7.
Abstract In 2018, pigeon Rotavirus A G18P[17] was identified in Australia as the causative agent of a disease outbreak presenting vomiting and diarrhea, reminiscent young syndrome. This virus has subsequently been detected several other countries, including Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, United States. study conducted to determine presence among archived samples collected Taiwan, characterize whole genome local isolate. Two hundred twenty-five liver from 2018 2023 were...
ABSTRACT Here, we report on the draft genomes of five putative biosurfactant-producing isolates Serratia sp. from East, West, and South bays Laguna de Bay, Philippines. The contigs ranged 20 to 21, genome lengths 5,175,553 5,214,031 bp.
African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreak was first recorded in the Philippines July 2019. Since then, disease has spread across provinces Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao causing severe economic consequences for country’s swine industry. . Here, we report genome sequencing of ASF virus strains from outbreaks several between 2021 to 2023, using a long-read tiled amplicon approach. The coding-complete genomes generated ranged 187,609 189,540 bp length, with GC content 38.4% 38.5%. Notably, strain Bataan...

Bats are highly diverse and ecologically valuable mammals. They serve as host to bacteria, viruses fungi that either beneficial or harmful its colony well other groups of cave organisms. The bacterial diversity two bat guano samples, C1 C2, from Cabalyorisa Cave, Mabini, Pangasinan, Philippines were investigated using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. V3-V4 hypervariable regions amplified then sequenced Illumina MiSeq 250 PE system. Reads processed Mothur QIIME pipelines assigned 12,345...
Domestic cat hepadnavirus (DCH) is an infectious disease associated with chronic hepatitis in cats, which suggests a similarity B virus infections humans. Since its first identification Australia 2018, DCH has been reported several countries varying prevalence rates, but presence Taiwan yet to be investigated. In this study, we aimed identify the and genetic diversity of Taiwan. Among 71 samples tested, eight (11.27%) were positive for DCH. Of these cases, three cats had elevated levels...
H5 subtype high-pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) viruses continue to devastate the poultry industry and threaten food security public health. The first outbreak of HPAI in Philippines was reported 2017. Since then, outbreaks have been 2020, 2022, 2023. Here, we report publicly available complete whole-genome sequence an H5N1 virus from a case Central Luzon. Samples were collected flock layer chickens exhibiting signs lethargy, droopy wings, ecchymotic hemorrhages trachea with excessive...
We report a coding-complete genome sequence of an African swine fever virus from outbreak in 2021 among domestic pigs Pangasinan, Philippines using Oxford Nanopore Technologies minION. The linear assembly is single contig with 192,377 bp.
Background A three-day One Health training program for undergraduate and graduate students, as well professionals in Health-related fields, was conducted by the Philippine University Network (PhilOHUN), collaboration with Southeast Asia (SEAOHUN), through a webinar series. To measure impact of on awareness, knowledge, attitude, practices (A-KAP) related to topics covered program, this study conducted. Methods quasi-experimental design employed evaluate effect A-KAP participants. An online...
Two nanocellulose-producing bacteria were isolated from separate local nata starter cultures and characterized to determine their putative identity. The nanocellulose produced by the two bacterial isolates compared if differences between material properties in vitro biocompatibility species-dependent. Nanocellulose membranes inoculating Hestrin–Schramm media using different carbon sources (glucose, mannitol sucrose). of scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy,...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a global and developmental threat to humanity. The rapid emergence spread of drug-resistant pathogens resulted in the ineffective use currently available antibiotics. Therefore, there is need continue searching for additional sources antibiotics, such as actinomycetes, which can potentially harbor unique effective secondary metabolites. Furthermore, it interesting consider poorly explored environments like volcanoes, be potential drug leads medically...
Streptomyces sp. strains AC1-42T and AC1-42W, isolated from bat guano Cabalyorisa Cave, Mabini, Pangasinan, Philippines, are active against Bacillus subtilis subsp. KCTC 3135T. The near-complete genome sequences reported here represent a possible source of ribosomally synthesized, posttranslationally modified peptides, such as lantipeptides, bacteriocins, linaridin, lasso peptide.
Laguna Lake is known for its ecological, economic, and cultural importance. Effects of urbanization accumulation emerging pollutants have been associated with water quality; however, the microbial ecology tributaries remains to be explored. We report bacterial community profiles from shotgun metagenomes select tributary waters.
ABSTRACT Here we report the 16S rRNA gene amplicon analysis of gut microbiota three frugivorous cave bat species from Cathedral Cave in Cavinti, Laguna, Philippines. Among species, most abundant phyla are Proteobacteria and Firmicutes D.

ABSTRACT Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. strain LB1-2, isolated from the hindgut of European honeybees in Philippines, is active against Paenibacillus larvae and has broad activity several Gram-positive Gram-negative bacteria. The complete genome sequence reported herein contains gene clusters for multiple bacteriocins extensive inventories carbohydrate metabolism.
Rhizobium sp. strain 11515TR was isolated from the rhizosphere of tomato in Laguna, Philippines. The 7.07-Mb complete genome comprises three replicons, one chromosome, and two plasmids, with a G+C content 59.4% 6,720 protein-coding genes. encodes gene clusters supporting processes, plant symbiosis, secondary bioactive metabolites.
