The family Pneumoviridae comprises large enveloped negative-sense RNA viruses. This taxon was formerly a subfamily within the Paramyxoviridae, but reclassified in 2016 as with two genera, Orthopneumovirus and Metapneumovirus. Pneumoviruses infect range of mammalian species, while some members Metapneumovirus genus may also birds. Some viruses are specific pathogenic for humans, such human respiratory syncytial virus metapneumovirus. There no known vectors pneumoviruses transmission is...
The family Paramyxoviridae consists of large enveloped RNA viruses infecting mammals, birds, reptiles and fish. Many paramyxoviruses are host-specific several, such as measles virus, mumps Nipah Hendra virus several parainfluenza viruses, pathogenic for humans. transmission is horizontal, mainly through airborne routes; no vectors known. This a summary the current International Committee on Taxonomy Viruses (ICTV) Report Paramyxoviridae. which available at ictv.global/report/paramyxoviridae.
The family Rhabdoviridae comprises viruses with negative-sense (–) single-stranded RNA genomes of 10.8–16.1 kb. Virions are typically enveloped bullet-shaped or bacilliform morphology but can also be non-enveloped filaments. Rhabdoviruses infect plants and animals including mammals, birds, reptiles fish, as well arthropods which serve single hosts act biological vectors for transmission to plants. include important pathogens humans, livestock, fish agricultural crops. This is a summary the...

Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is a rhabdoviral pathogen that infects wild and cultured salmonid fish throughout the Pacific Northwest of North America. IHNV causes severe epidemics in young can cause disease or occur asymptomatically adults. In broad survey 323 field isolates, sequence analysis 303 nucleotide variable region within glycoprotein gene revealed maximum diversity 8.6 %, indicating low genetic overall for this virus. Phylogenetic three major genogroups,...
Infectious diseases are economically detrimental to aquaculture, and with continued expansion intensification of the importance managing infectious will likely increase in future. Here, we use evolution virulence theory, along examples, identify aquaculture practices that might lead increased pathogen virulence. We eight common theory predicts may favor toward higher Four related intensive operations, four others specifically disease control. Our intention is make managers aware these risks,...

The genome RNA and six mRNA species of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus were analyzed by denaturing gel electrophoresis. following molecular weights determined: RNA, 3.7 X 10(6); 1, 2.26 2, 5.63 10(5); 3, 4.84 4 (containing two different species), 3.00 5, 1.95 10(5). Densitometer analyses gels used to calculate the molar ratios intracellular species: 0.02; 0.49; 1.0; 4, 2.52; 0.41. Hybrid selection studies determined coding assignments as follows: 1 encodes viral polymerase, L; 2...
Starved cultures of a marine Pseudomonas sp. showed 99.9% decrease in viable cell count during the first 25 days starvation, yet culture maintained 10 5 cells per ml for over 1 year. The physiological responses populations to nutrient starvation were observed periods up 40 days. At various intervals numbers total, viable, and respiring determined within cultures. ATP content, endogenous respiration rate, uptake rates, percent exogenous glucose glutamate throughout period characterize changes...
Plasmids carrying cDNA sequences to the mRNA species of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus were constructed and cloned into Escherichia coli. Characterization 21 plasmids by hybridization blots identified sets with homology each six viral species. R-loop mapping these determined that gene order on genome is (3')N-M1-M2-G-NV-L(5').
Host specificity is a phenomenon exhibited by all viruses. For the fish rhabdovirus infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), differential of strains from U and M genogroups has been established both in field experimental challenges. In rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), IHNV are consistently more prevalent virulent than IHNV. The basis ability these two to cause disease was investigated live infection challenges with representative strains. When delivered intraperitoneal injection,...
Immunological protection, acquired from either natural infection or vaccination, varies among hosts, reflecting underlying biological variation and affecting population-level protection. Owing to the nature of resistance mechanisms, distributions susceptibility protection entangle with pathogen dose in a way that can be decoupled by adequately representing dimension. Any infectious processes must depend some fashion on dose, empirical evidence exists for an effect exposure probability...
