Use of nanopore sequencing to characterize african horse sickness virus (AHSV) from the African horse sickness outbreak in thailand in 2020

Xinyu Toh et al.

Summary: The study conducted whole-genome sequencing of the African horse sickness virus (AHSV) from the March 2020 Thailand outbreak using Nanopore technology with a Sequence-Independent Single Primer Amplification (SISPA) approach. It found high sequence identity between the AHSV-1 virus and isolates from the same outbreak. Substitution analysis revealed differences in the VP2 gene compared to circulating South African strains.

Black rats (Rattus rattus) as potential reservoir hosts for Rift Valley fever phlebovirus: Experimental infection results in viral replication and shedding without clinical manifestation

Franziska Stoek et al.

Summary: Black rats showed high susceptibility to Rift Valley fever virus infection without clinical manifestation or histopathological lesions, indicating their potential role in the transmission cycle. No evidence of horizontal transmission was found in contact animals, but infected rats showed viral shedding in oral, rectal, and conjunctival routes.

Experimental Challenge of Sheep and Cattle with Dugbe Orthonairovirus, a Neglected African Arbovirus Distantly Related to CCHFV

Julia Hartlaub et al.

Summary: Dugbe orthonairovirus (DUGV) is a tick-borne arbovirus found in Africa, causing mild febrile illness in humans but no disease in animals. Experimental inoculation of young sheep and calves with DUGV showed seroconversion in ruminants, indicating potential cross-reactivities with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever orthonairovirus (CCHFV) assays.

A Look into Bunyavirales Genomes: Functions of Non-Structural (NS) Proteins

Shanna S. Leventhal et al.

Summary: The Bunyavirales order, established in 2016, encompasses diverse viruses from 13 families, with four families known to contain human pathogens sharing a similar genomic organization. The non-structural proteins encoded by these families play crucial roles in immune evasion, host responses, and viral pathogenesis, highlighting their importance in understanding disease progression and developing interventions.

Molecular detection of dugbe orthonairovirus in cattle and their infesting ticks (Amblyomma and Rhipicephalus (Boophilus)) in Nigeria

Oluwafemi Babatunde Daoduid et al.

Summary: The study detected and genetically characterized Dugbe orthonairovirus (DUGV) circulating in cattle and their infesting ticks in Kwara State, Nigeria, with high similarity to the previously characterized strain. DUGV was found to have a carrier rate of 0.7% in ticks, predominantly in Amblyomma variegatum species.

Detection of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in blood-fed Hyalomma ticks collected from Mauritanian livestock

A. Schulz et al.

Summary: In 2018, Hyalomma ticks collected from four different livestock herds in Mauritania tested positive for CCHFV, with a prevalence of 2.56%. The study revealed the presence of two different CCHFV lineages and highlighted the importance of tracking the actual circulation area of this virus.

Diagnosis and Pathogenesis of Nairobi Sheep Disease Orthonairovirus Infections in Sheep and Cattle

Julia Hartlaub et al.

Summary: Sheep infected with NSDV develop severe symptoms and may require euthanasia, while cattle only exhibit mild subclinical infection, but both species show seroconversion. In the future, serological monitoring programs for NSDV occurrence and spread should include not only sheep sera but also cattle sera.
