cord-344782-ond1ziu5	Zhang, Jing	Identification of a novel nidovirus as a potential cause of large scale mortalities in the endangered Bellinger River snapping turtle (Myuchelys georgesi)	2018-10-24		.txt	text/plain	6003	280	49	Nucleic acid sequencing of the virus isolate has identified the entire genome and indicates that this is a novel nidovirus that has a low level of nucleotide similarity to recognised nidoviruses. Following the detection of the novel virus, in November 2015 (about 6 months after the cessation of the outbreak) an intensive survey of the parts of the river where affected turtles had been detected [2] was undertaken by groups of biologists and ecologists and samples collected from a wide range of aquatic species and some terrestrial animals (n = 360) to establish the size of the remaining population and whether any other animals were carrying this virus. BRV, as a novel nidovirus, was isolated from tissues of diseased animals, very high levels of viral RNA were detected in tissues with marked pathological changes and in situ hybridisation assays demonstrated the presence of specific viral RNA in lesions in kidneys and eye tissue-two of the main affected organs.	./cache/cord-344782-ond1ziu5.txt	./txt/cord-344782-ond1ziu5.txt
