Protection based criteria were: virus re-isolation attempts from trachea, tracheal and renal histopathology as well as IBV antigens detection by immunofluorescent antibody technique in kidney sections. In the present study, Egypt/F/03 was isolated from 25day-old broiler chickens in Fayoum Governorate, identified by Dot-ELISA, RT-PCR and sequenced to determine its serotype. In this study, an Egyptian IBV strain; Egypt\F/03 was isolated from a tissue pool of kidney and trachea from unvaccinated broiler flock with a history of respiratory and renal disease.

Using IHC, antigens of IBV were detected in nasal epithelium, trachea, lung, spleen, myocardial vasculature, liver, gastrointestinal tract, kidney, skin, sclera of the eye, spinal cord, as well as in brain neurons of the inoculated embryos. IBV antigens were detected in the nasal epithelium, trachea, lung, spleen, myocardium, liver, gizzard, proventriculus, kidney, skin, sclera of the eye, spinal cord, as well as in neurons of the central nervous system in infected embryos (Table 1, Figure 1 ). doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-6-15 id = cord-336870-nirg3269 author = Abebe, Endeshaw Chekol title = The newly emerged COVID-19 disease: a systemic review date = 2020-07-08 keywords = COVID-19; China; SARS summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-020-01363-5 id = cord-000988-79fp75u3 author = Al-Siyabi, Turkiya title = A cost effective real-time PCR for the detection of adenovirus from viral swabs date = 2013-06-07 keywords = PCR; dna; figure; time summary = Twentyseven virus culture-positive specimens and 169 virus culture-negative specimens were randomly selected and tested for the presence of HAdV using a well established in-house real-time PCR assay [18] following recovery of viral DNA was recovered by homogenization with heat treatment or automated nucleic acid extraction. This internally controlled quantitative real-time PCR assay targets the hexon gene of adenovirus, and is validated for detection Table 1 Nucleotide sequences of primers and probes used in this study The analytical sensitivity (or limit of detection, LoD) of the homogenization with heat treatment or nucleic acid extraction, in combination with the real-time PCR, was determined using 10-fold serial dilutions (in UTM) of a cultured HAdV-C type 6. Virus stock dilutions were quantified using commercial real-time PCR assay, and the LoD for homogenization or nucleic acid extraction-based protocols were shown to be approximately equivalent (Figure 2) . doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-10-184 id = cord-292581-6ipzvryb author = Alagarasu, Kalichamy title = Elevated levels of vitamin D and deficiency of mannose binding lectin in dengue hemorrhagic fever date = 2012-05-04 keywords = DHF; MBL summary = BACKGROUND: Altered plasma concentrations of vitamin D and mannose binding lectin (MBL), components of innate immunity, have been shown to be associated with the pathogenesis of viral infections. The objective of the present study was to find out whether plasma concentrations of MBL and vitamin D are different in patients with dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Therefore, we investigated the levels of plasma vitamin D and MBL in dengue infected patients in the context of disease severity and immune status. When the patients were grouped based on immune status and disease severity, secondary DHF cases had significantly higher concentrations of vitamin D as compared to secondary DF cases (P < 0.050). Analysis of circulating concentrations of MBL in dengue cases and healthy controls revealed no significant difference between the two groups suggesting that the MBL mediated pathway of complement activation might be inhibited or may not be induced during DENV infection. doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-9-86 id = cord-313598-2t40ss6h author = Ali, Mohsin title = Throat and nasal swabs for molecular detection of respiratory viruses in acute pharyngitis date = 2015-10-29 keywords = swab; virus summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-015-0408-z id = cord-285253-ik5w4t5e author = Ali, S Asad title = Real-world comparison of two molecular methods for detection of respiratory viruses date = 2011-06-29 keywords = RMA; RSV summary = METHODS: We tested nasal and throat swab specimens obtained from 225 infants with respiratory illness for 11 common respiratory viruses using both a multiplex assay (Respiratory MultiCode-PLx Assay [RMA]) and individual real-time RT-PCR (RT-rtPCR). The RMA assay detected significantly more human metapneumovirus (HMPV) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), while RT-rtPCR detected significantly more influenza A. Restricting the analysis to the 11 viruses tested with both methods, at least one virus was detected in 174 (78.3%) samples by RMA and in 163 (73.4%) samples by RT-rtPCR. In the second round using redesigned RT-rtPCR HMPV primers and probes, HMPV was detected in 7 samples, 5 of which were concordant with the results of the first RMA assay.

Most studies have described the presence of RV genotypes in hospitalized patients with severe respiratory illness, and only a few studies have described the prevalence of virus genotypes in URTIs. In this work, we carried out a prospective multicenter study of two children populations having either URTI or LRTI. The phylogenetic trees in Figure 2 depict the wide distribution of 5′-UTR sequences of the RV-A and RV-C Table 1 Frequency of RV infections in children with upper and lower respiratory tract infections strains isolated from URTI and LRTI patients.

To investigate the antiviral effect of LA (Chloroquine and NH(4)Cl) on pH dependent endocytosis, HCV pseudoparticles (HCVpp) of 1a and 3a genotype were produced and used to infect liver cells. For antiviral screening of Chloroquine and NH(4)Cl, liver cells were infected with HCVpp of 3a and 1a genotype in the presence or absence of different concentrations of Chloroquine and NH4Cl and there luciferase activity was determined by using a luminometer. We therefore tested the infectivity of HCVpp after treatment of target cells with different concentrations of Chloroquine and NH 4 Cl. HCVpp of 1a and 3a genotype demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition in the presence of Chloroquine and NH 4 Cl. Chloroquine and NH 4 Cl showed greater than 50% reduction of virus infectivity at 50 μM and 10 mM concentration respectively, suggesting a pH-sensitive route of virus entry (Figure 2a and 2b ). doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-8-163 id = cord-303494-tofch4j7 author = Bai, Juan title = Identification of VP1 peptides diagnostic of encephalomyocarditis virus from swine date = 2014-12-30 keywords = EMCV; VP1; figure; protein summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-014-0226-8 id = cord-347569-9fvbshz2 author = Balakrishnan, Krishnan Nair title = Multiple gene targeting siRNAs for down regulation of Immediate Early-2 (Ie2) and DNA polymerase genes mediated inhibition of novel rat Cytomegalovirus (strain All-03) date = 2020-10-27 keywords = ALL-03; CPE; RCMV; dna; ie2 summary = On the other hand, negative control siRNA and untreated groups showed higher viral titer than siRNA treated groups: 4 log 10 TCID50/ml at day 10 p.i and 8 log 10 TCID50/ml at day 18 p.i. Analysis of RCMV ALL-03 infected cells undergoing apoptosis/necrosis upon combination siRNAs treatment were studied using flow cytometry. Taking into consideration as positive treatment control group, commercial drug GCV exhibited better rate of CPE inhibition (Fig. 7) compared to other combination siR-NAs but lesser efficient than dpc + ie2b siRNAs. In order to understand more on the role of each combination siRNAs during RCMV ALL-03 infection, all the four combination siRNAs targeting different regions were analyzed individually with specific primers. During the search of effective treatment for CMV, idea of controlling the disease by means of inhibiting virus replication and gene expression by combinations of two and more siRNAs had been explored in this study. doi = 10.1186/s12985-020-01436-5 id = cord-011880-qlutgfu2 author = Barberis, Abdelheq title = Full-length genome sequences of the first H9N2 avian influenza viruses isolated in the Northeast of Algeria date = 2020-07-17 keywords = AIV; H5N1; H9N2; algerian; virus summary = In addition, different studies, showed that circulating H9N2 strains have acquired affinity to mammalian like-receptors and gained high virulence and pathogenicity through substitutions in their viral proteins [13, 14] ; the most known substitutions are in the HA protein that promotes virus binding to cellular receptors. While the substitution 627 K that confers high pathogenicity, virulence and increased replication in mice [63] , was not detected in our Algerian viruses, three substitutions 318R, 590S and 661 T, associated with mammalian adaptation, were observed [71, 72] . The PB1 substitutions N105S, K577E/M and 578Q, known to be associated with increased polymerase activity, H9N2 pathogenicity in mice as well as adaptation to mammalians [61, 64, 78] , were not observed in the currently circulating Algerian strains, which however shared 105 N, 577 K and 578 K. Amino acids analysis showed that the Algerians H9N2 strains carried out different molecular markers associated with affinity to human-like receptors and increased virulence. doi = 10.1186/s12985-020-01377-z id = cord-356064-q56jnhss author = Bartel, Sebastian title = Proteome analysis of vaccinia virus IHD-W-infected HEK 293 cells with 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and MALDI-PSD-TOF MS of on solid phase support N-terminally sulfonated peptides date = 2011-08-01 keywords = IHD; PSD; SPITC; VACV; protein summary = title: Proteome analysis of vaccinia virus IHD-W-infected HEK 293 cells with 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and MALDI-PSD-TOF MS of on solid phase support N-terminally sulfonated peptides In this report the proteome of HEK293 cells infected with Vaccinia Virus strain IHD-W was analyzed by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and MALDI-PSD-TOF MS in a bottom-up approach. Derivatization of peptides with 4-sulfophenyl isothiocyanate (SPITC) carried out on ZipTipμ-C18 columns enabled protein identification via the peptides'' primary sequence, providing improved s/n ratios as well as signal intensities of the PSD spectra. The E3L gene product has been identified in HEK 293 cells infected with active VACV IHD-W, which is in correlation to proteome analysis of VACV virions that indicate that the putative double-stranded RNA binding protein (D-1) is not present in the virion but is expressed in the early replication phase.

As rafts are suggested to be pre-caveolae [11] and a large fraction of the A-MLV receptor Pit2 was found associated with cholesterol-rich microdomains [1] , we have here investigated if rafts and caveolae are involved in the early steps of A-MLV binding. As GM1 is a general marker for cholesterol-rich microdomains, we investigated if these regions of preferred A-MLV binding were also enriched in caveolin-1 (cav-1), a major structural protein of caveolae. Using confocal microscopy we found that A-MLV binds preferentially to large GM1-positive membrane regions of NIH3T3 cells, which are most likely rafts. In addition, A-MLV binding to large rafts was independent of plasma membrane cholesterol indicating that the A-MLV receptor Pit2 or other virus interacting proteins were still present in these regions. doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-3-21 id = cord-031316-yvid6qps author = Bisimwa, Patrick N. title = First detection of African swine fever (ASF) virus genotype X and serogroup 7 in symptomatic pigs in the Democratic Republic of Congo date = 2020-09-03 keywords = ASFV; Kivu; South; african summary = Sequences of p72 and p54 amplicon were compared with 25 other p72 and p54 ASFV sequences retrieved from the Gen-Bank database and the phylogenetic analysis revealed that the South Kivu ASF virus strains analyzed clustered with p72 genotype X including strains reported in previous studies in Burundi (AF449463), Kenya (AY261360) and Tanzania (JX403648, AF301546, MF437291) ( Fig. 2a and b) .

The influenza virus evades host immunity by accumulation of point mutations (drift) in the major surface glycoproteins, haemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) or by reassortment of segments from different viruses co-infecting the same cell leading to a new stain with a HA (and NA) not seen in the population before (shift). The A/Fujian/411/02(H3N2)-like clinical Danish viruses had several substitutions in HA at sites that might influence the virus'' capability for egg growth [10, 37] . Substitutions at antigenic site B and the predicted N-glycosylation at position 144 in HA antigenic site A together with a stronger NA might have contributed to the increased infectivity of the reassorted Fujian-like viruses of the 2003-2004 season, causing an epidemic in Denmark.

CONCLUSION: Taken together, our data demonstrated for the first time that PEDV infection of its target cell line, IECs, inhibited dsRNA-mediated IFN-β production by blocking the activation of IPS-1 in RIG-I-mediated pathway. PEDV failed to induce IFN-β expression and inhibited poly (I:C)-mediated IFN-β production in IECs Type I IFNs (IFN-α/β) are critical to the host antiviral innate immune response. In summary, the findings of the present study suggested that PEDV-infection in IECs inhibits dsRNA-induced IFN-β induction by interfering with IRF-3 activity associated with RIG-I-mediated signaling pathway. doi = 10.1186/s12985-015-0345-x id = cord-333349-tsfxpaj6 author = Chai, Weidong title = Elevated dietary zinc oxide levels do not have a substantial effect on porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PPRSV) vaccination and infection date = 2014-08-08 keywords = PBMC; PRRSV summary = title: Elevated dietary zinc oxide levels do not have a substantial effect on porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PPRSV) vaccination and infection The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of dietary zinc oxide supplementation on vaccination and challenge infection with PRRSV. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that higher levels of dietary ZnO do not have the potential to stimulate or modulate systemic immune responses after vaccination and heterologous PRRSV infection to an extent that could improve the clinical and virological outcome. In contrast to Vanhee et al., we chose a single-vaccination approach and challenge-infected the animals with a heterologous type I PRRSV (95,38% sequence identity for the envelope glycoprotein GP5, which bears a major neutralizing epitope) in order test the influence of elevated Zn levels on an suboptimal antigen stimulus and on crossprotection.

(1) (2) (3) In this study, an immunochromatographic strip with high sensitivity and specificity was developed for the detection of PHE-CoV, combining monoclonal antibody (MAb) and colloidal gold immunochromatography (GICA), and the resulting product is suitable for the surveillance of PHE-CoV. Thus, a lot of brain tissue samples were collected from deceased piglets with suspected PHE-CoV infection, and using RT-PCR and ELISA as reference test, the relative specificity and sensitivity of the immunochromatographic strip were determined to be 100% and 97.78%, respectively. doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-9-172 id = cord-322238-8iwljdoi author = Chen, Qin title = Detection of swine transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus using loop-mediated isothermal amplification date = 2010-08-29 keywords = LAMP; TGEV summary = Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) was developed to detect the TGEV by incubation at 60°C for 1 h and the product specificity was confirmed by HphI digestion. By using serial sample dilutions as templates, the detection limit of LAMP was about 10 pg RNA, 10 times more sensitive than that of PCR and could be comparable to the nest-PCR. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a novel nucleic acid amplification method, which amplifies DNA/RNA with high specificity, sensitivity and rapidity under isothermal condition [5] . As a kind of nucleic acid amplification method, LAMP could not only qualitatively detect the TGEV, but also quantitatively analyze the virus. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the LAMP method established could detect only the TGEV and no cross-reaction with other viruses, the detection limit was about 10 pg RNA, which was 10 times more sensitive than that of PCR and could be comparable to the nest-PCR. doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-7-206 id = cord-282343-cko4curf author = Cheng, Han title = A parallel genome-wide RNAi screening strategy to identify host proteins important for entry of Marburg virus and H5N1 influenza virus date = 2015-11-24 keywords = AIV; MARV; virus summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-015-0420-3 id = cord-343893-sophqqne author = Chu, Victor C title = Feline aminopeptidase N is not a functional receptor for avian infectious bronchitis virus date = 2007-02-26 keywords = IBV; cell; receptor summary = Feline aminopeptidase N (fAPN) serves as a functional receptor for most group 1 coronaviruses including feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV), canine coronavirus, transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), and human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E). Group 1 CoVs -including human coronavirus-229E (HCoV-229E), feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and canine coronavirus (CCV) -utilize human, feline, porcine, and canine aminopeptidase N (APN) as functional receptors during virus entry [10] [11] [12] [13] .

Surprisingly, expression of fAPN did not increase viral infection in any of the strains tested. To verify the functionality of fAPN as a coronavirus receptor, we first tested its ability to rescue FIPV-1146 and TGEV infection of non-permissive cells, as reported in previous studies [11] . doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-4-20 id = cord-322738-nvyknvc7 author = Delangue, Julie title = Viral aetiology influenza like illnesses in Santa Cruz, Bolivia (2010–2012) date = 2014-02-24 keywords = Bolivia; Cruz; Flu summary = doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-11-35 id = cord-003855-so8xl199 author = Ebert, Gregor title = Virology Downunder, a meeting commentary from the 2019 Lorne Infection and Immunity Conference, Australia date = 2019-09-02 keywords = IFN; Infection summary = The bat innate immune response appears to be ''pre-activated'' with higher basal levels of type I interferon expression, in contrast to humans, who are very quick responders to viral infections, but require a lot more dampening of their immune signals afterwards to get back to basal levels. demonstrated that bats'' response to stress in form of viral infections is more targeted and thus potentially more effective by numerous adaptions and modifications of the innate immune system.

Sequence comparison of the NA protein of A/duck/Tuva/01/06 aligned with the NA of N2 subtype of A/Wuhan/359/95 (H3N2) influenza virus showed phenotype potentially sensitive to neuraminidase inhibitors. Despite powerful anti-influenza virus effects of TNF-α in lung tissue, as it was described previously [28] , we consider that elevated production of the cytokines seems to be crucial in the pathogenesis of HPAI infection. Summing up, in our study BALB/c mice infected with HPAI, strain A/duck/Tuva/01/06, appeared to be able to produce the innate immune response, which culminated to the development of shock and subsequent multiple organ failure. doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-4-77 id = cord-302170-k2apj469 author = Fang, Peng title = Assessment of reference gene stability in Rice stripe virus and Rice black streaked dwarf virus infection rice by quantitative Real-time PCR date = 2015-10-24 keywords = RBSDV; RSV; reference summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-015-0405-2 id = cord-339744-xrit0w5i author = Feng, Bo title = Investigation of antiviral state mediated by interferon-inducible transmembrane protein 1 induced by H9N2 virus and inactivated viral particle in human endothelial cells date = 2017-11-03 keywords = H9N2; ifitm1; virus summary = Our previous microarray analysis showed that H9N2 virus infection and inactivated viral particle inoculation increased the expression of interferon-inducible transmembrane protein 1 (IFITM1) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

Epithelial cells that are considered target cells of the influenza virus were selected as a reference control. The results indicated that the cellular interaction between intracellular molecules and viral particles might be involved in the induction of IFITM1 expression in HUVECs. To determine the antiviral activity of IFITM1 protein induced by H9N2 virus infection, HUVECs or BEAS-2Bs were infected with H9N2 virus at MOI of 5 and incubated for 1 h, then cells were transfected with IFITM1 specific siRNA or control siRNA for 36 h. doi = 10.1186/s12985-017-0875-5 id = cord-271130-6s79q1c1 author = Filoni, Claudia title = Putative progressive and abortive feline leukemia virus infection outcomes in captive jaguarundis (Puma yagouaroundi) date = 2017-11-17 keywords = FeLV; PCR; RNA; infection; jaguarundi summary = title: Putative progressive and abortive feline leukemia virus infection outcomes in captive jaguarundis (Puma yagouaroundi) Thus, the aim of this study was to perform additional serological and molecular tests and monitor the population of jaguarundis at FPZSP for FeLV infection and development of FeLV-related diseases for 5 years (2003) (2004) (2005) (2006) (2007) .

Experiments described in this report demonstrate that reovirus infection in U937 cells does not require cysteine protease activity and is not blocked in the presence of agents that raise vesicular pH. To examine the effect of the NE inhibitor on reovirus replication in U937 cells, we pre-treated them for 3 h with E64 in the presence or absence of the NE inhibitor, infected them with Lang virions or ISVPs at an MOI of 3, and quantified viral yields at 2 d p.i.

Here, we demonstrate that RNAi targeting of the ORF 7 gene of TGEV, introduced by short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs), is capable of inhibiting virus replication and protecting swine testicular (ST) cells from the destruction induced by TGEV, which may be not only a new anti-TGEV strategy, but also a new approach to the study of its pathogenesis.

The use of patient self-collected throat washings may reduce risks to healthcare workers, although lower respiratory tract samples such as sputum, NPAs or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid are likely to have higher viral loads and offer increased likelihood of SARS-CoV detection by RT-PCR. doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-4-32 id = cord-284630-l9ghggu7 author = Hoang, Minh title = Molecular epidemiology of canine parvovirus type 2 in Vietnam from November 2016 to February 2018 date = 2019-04-27 keywords = CPV-2; Vietnam; parvovirus summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-019-1159-z id = cord-329520-dt0jku7v author = Hon, Kam LE title = Influenza or not influenza: Analysis of a case of high fever that happened 2000 years ago in Biblical time date = 2010-07-21 keywords = Bible summary = doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-7-169 id = cord-340046-kgbvld0y author = Houspie, Lieselot title = Exhaled breath condensate sampling is not a new method for detection of respiratory viruses date = 2011-03-04 keywords = EBC; PCR; RNA summary = BACKGROUND: Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) sampling has been considered an inventive and novel method for the isolation of respiratory viruses. RESULTS: Viral screening resulted in the detection of 4 different viruses in EBC and/or nasal swabs: Rhinovirus, Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus B, Influenza A and Influenza B. This observation has created a growing interest in the use of EBC as a new sampling method for the screening of respiratory viruses infecting the upper airways. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the EBC collection method was suited for the efficient condensation of aerosolised virus particles during normal breathing and to explore the isolation of respiratory viruses in the condensate. In this study, 102 EBCs were collected from otherwise healthy volunteers showing respiratory or flu-like symptoms (defined in Table 1 ), using a commercially available condenser (RTube™, Respiratory Research Inc., Charlottesville, Virginia, USA). Collection of exhaled breath condensates is a novel and non-invasive method for obtaining samples of the upper respiratory tract. doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-8-98 id = cord-320693-de1lmzl1 author = Hu, Han title = Antiviral activity of Piscidin 1 against pseudorabies virus both in vitro and in vivo date = 2019-07-31 keywords = PRV; activity; peptide; virus summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-019-1199-4 id = cord-300434-obvm2en0 author = Ivancic-Jelecki, Jelena title = Variability analysis and inter-genotype comparison of human respiratory syncytial virus small hydrophobic gene date = 2018-07-18 keywords = HRSV; HVR2 summary = BACKGROUND: Small hydrophobic (SH) gene is one of the mostly diverse genomic regions of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV). When analysis was restricted to strains with identical HVR2 nucleotide sequences and differing SH protein sequences, 75% of differences observed in the SH ectodomain were located within region coding for amino acids 49–51. In molecular epidemiology studies, HRSV surveillance and genotyping are based on sequences of the second, C-terminal hypervariable region of the G gene (HVR2). Following our previous analysis of HVR2 sequences of strains detected within a limited geographical area (the Zagreb region) and limited time frame (March 2011 to March 2014) [16] , the goal of this study was to investigate whether virus variability and inter-genotype differences observed for HVR2 are also present in the SH gene. doi = 10.1186/s12985-018-1020-9 id = cord-273122-w9hemznv author = Jans, Jop title = Actin- and clathrin-dependent mechanisms regulate interferon gamma release after stimulation of human immune cells with respiratory syncytial virus date = 2016-03-22 keywords = IFN; RSV summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-016-0506-6 id = cord-322024-yrqpq9cf author = Jevšnik, Monika title = Detection of human coronaviruses in simultaneously collected stool samples and nasopharyngeal swabs from hospitalized children with acute gastroenteritis date = 2013-02-05 keywords = AGE summary = doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-10-46 id = cord-310372-qc6941pm author = Ji, Jun title = Phylogenetic distribution and predominant genotype of the avian infectious bronchitis virus in China during 2008-2009 date = 2011-04-22 keywords = China; IBV summary = doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-8-184 id = cord-293938-40zyv1h8 author = Jonsdottir, Hulda R. title = Coronaviruses and the human airway: a universal system for virus-host interaction studies date = 2016-02-06 keywords = East; MERS; SARS; human summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-016-0479-5 id = cord-335865-pibq3iwh author = Jumat, Muhammad Raihan title = Imaging analysis of human metapneumovirus-infected cells provides evidence for the involvement of F-actin and the raft-lipid microdomains in virus morphogenesis date = 2014-11-19 keywords = HMPV; cell summary = title: Imaging analysis of human metapneumovirus-infected cells provides evidence for the involvement of F-actin and the raft-lipid microdomains in virus morphogenesis METHODS: HMPV-infected LLC-MK2 cells were stained with antibodies that recognised the HMPV fusion protein (F protein), attachment protein (G protein) and matrix protein (M protein), and fluorescent probes that detect GM1 within lipid-raft membranes (CTX-B-AF488) and F-actin (Phalloidin-FITC). Cells co-expressing recombinant HMPV G and F proteins formed virus-like particles and were co-stained with antibodies that recognise the recombinant G and F proteins and phalloidin-FITC and CTX-B-AF594, and the distribution of the G and F proteins, GM1 and F-actin determined. We also observed these co-stained filamentous structures spreading to the non-infected cells, suggesting that F-actin may play a role in virus transmission in the monolayer, in a similar manner to that proposed for RSV [17, 25, 30] . HMPV-infected cells were stained with anti-G and CTX-B-AF488, and examined using confocal microscopy at an optical plane that allowed the virus filaments to be visualized ( Figure 4D ). doi = 10.1186/s12985-014-0198-8 id = cord-322937-lakdi3x8 author = Kang, Xiao-ping title = A duplex real-time RT-PCR assay for detecting H5N1 avian influenza virus and pandemic H1N1 influenza virus date = 2010-06-02 keywords = PCR summary = doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-7-113 id = cord-267736-rya9w6sh author = Kang, Xiaoping title = Development of an ELISA-array for simultaneous detection of five encephalitis viruses date = 2012-02-27 keywords = ELISA; PBS; antibody summary = The ELISA-array assay is based on a "sandwich" ELISA format and consists of viral antibodies printed directly on 96-well microtiter plates, allowing for direct detection of 5 viruses. The developed ELISA-array proved to have similar specificity and higher sensitivity compared with the conventional ELISAs. This method was validated by different viral cultures and three chicken eggs inoculated with infected patient serum. The results demonstrated that this method combined the advantage of ELISA and protein array (multiplex and ease of use) and has potential for the identification of clinical encephalitis virus. When spotting, different spotting buffers and concentrations of capture monoclonal antibodies were evaluated to optimize the ELISA-array assay. To verify the results tested by ELISA-array, RNA extracted from chicken eggs was applied to a real time-RT-PCR assay using primers and probes targeting TBEV. In this study, we developed a multiplex ELISA-based method in a double-antibody sandwich format for the simultaneous detection of five encephalitis-associated viral pathogens. doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-9-56 id = cord-300837-d0a8y5qh author = Khetawat, Dimple title = A Functional Henipavirus Envelope Glycoprotein Pseudotyped Lentivirus Assay System date = 2010-11-12 keywords = cell; figure; glycoprotein; virus summary = doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-7-312 id = cord-327013-gc6o8ou3 author = Kim, Heui Man title = Characterization of neuraminidase inhibitor-resistant influenza virus isolates from immunocompromised patients in the Republic of Korea date = 2020-07-06 keywords = Korea; virus summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-020-01375-1 id = cord-342157-qjyooq68 author = King, Chwan-Chuen title = Comparative analysis of full genomic sequences among different genotypes of dengue virus type 3 date = 2008-05-21 keywords = DHF; Taiwan; dengue; denv-3 summary = In our study, complete genomic sequencing of DENV-3 strains collected from different geographical locations and isolation years were determined and the sequence diversity as well as selection pressure sites in the DENV genome other than within the E gene were also analyzed. RESULTS: Using maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches, our phylogenetic analysis revealed that the Taiwan''s indigenous DENV-3 isolated from 1994 and 1998 dengue/DHF epidemics and one 1999 sporadic case were of the three different genotypes – I, II, and III, each associated with DENV-3 circulating in Indonesia, Thailand and Sri Lanka, respectively. Compared to the prototype strain H87, several unique amino acid substitutions that serve as unique signature sites for each genotype were found within the full genomic sequences of the selected DENV-3 isolates from Taiwan or other countries and are listed by the order of the gene in Table 3 . doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-5-63 id = cord-331542-wy068c6o author = Kong, Ning title = Identification of a novel B-cell epitope in the spike protein of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus date = 2020-04-03 keywords = PEDV summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-020-01305-1 id = cord-321756-a7eh4dkb author = Kwofie, Theophilus B title = Respiratory viruses in children hospitalized for acute lower respiratory tract infection in Ghana date = 2012-04-10 keywords = infection; respiratory; virus summary = doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-9-78 id = cord-010336-xfzf7ath author = Lambertz, Ruth Lydia Olga title = H2 influenza A virus is not pathogenic in Tmprss2 knock-out mice date = 2020-04-22 keywords = Tmprss2 summary = For in vivo studies, female Tmprss2 −/− (B6.129S1-Tmprss2tm1Tsyk) [12, 14] and C57BL/6 JRj wild type (WT) mice (Janvier, 8-12 weeks old) were infected intranasally with 2 × 10 4 ffu PR8_HA(H2) as described before [12] and changes in body weight and survival were monitored for the next 14 days. Viral replication in lungs of infected (dose of 2 × 10 4 ffu) female Tmprss2 −/− and WT mice (8-12 weeks old) revealed no detectable virus replication in Tmprss2 −/− mice, whereas WT mice showed increased lung titers at day 2 and 4 post infection (dpi) (Fig. 2c) . Since no viral replication and only minor immune responses were detected in the studies described above, we confirmed that mice had indeed been infected with the PR8_HA(H2) virus by determining the presence of H2-specific antibodies at 14 dpi in the serum. doi = 10.1186/s12985-020-01323-z id = cord-290976-dhwlr2ui author = Lednicky, John A title = Isolation and genetic characterization of human coronavirus NL63 in primary human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells obtained from a commercial supplier, and confirmation of its replication in two different types of human primary kidney cells date = 2013-06-27 keywords = CMV; LLC; MK2; NL63; PCR; RPTEC summary = doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-10-213 id = cord-278250-dwok857k author = Li, Heng title = The altered gut virome community in rhesus monkeys is correlated with the gut bacterial microbiome and associated metabolites date = 2019-08-19 keywords = RNA; additional; bacterial; dna; figure; virus summary = We performed metagenomic sequencing of fecal samples to detect the bacterial microbiome and virome composition of healthy one-year-old rhesus monkeys housed at the IMBCAMS (Fig. 1) . We comprehensively analyzed the interactions among the gut virome, bacterial microbiome and metabolomes based on the above results there were noticeable differences in bacterial β-diversity between control and experimental animals, as determined using principal component analysis (PCA), and the results showed good repeatability within a single group (Additional file 2: Figure S2F ). Briefly, the fecal virome composition was noticeably altered after depletion of the bacterial microbiome, and the abundances of many DNA viruses, bacteriophages and RNA viruses in the gut were clearly decreased. As expected, the whole gut bacterial microbiome, including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (Additional file 2: Figure S2E ), was depleted after treatment with the antibiotic cocktail, except for Escherichia-Shigella species belonging to Proteobacteria, which were resistant to the cocktail. doi = 10.1186/s12985-019-1211-z id = cord-269277-x5c5ogo7 author = Li, Jingjing title = Key elements of the human bocavirus type 1 (HBoV1) promoter and its trans-activation by NS1 protein date = 2013-10-27 keywords = cell; ns1; promoter summary = The pGL3-Bov-EGFP vector containing nt 1-252 was transfected into 293 T, A549, HeLa and WI-38 cell lines to assay the activity of the promoter of HBoV1 in these mammalian cells.

In our recent study, NS1 transcripts from the left-hand of the viral genome were detected in pWHL-1 transfected 293 T cells and other mammalian cells including HeLa, A549, WI-38 cell lines (data not shown), suggesting that this promoter is unique and active in most mammalian cells. For detection of HBoV1 promoter activity, mammalian cell lines including 293 T, A549, HeLa and WI-38 were transfected with the pGL3-Bov-EGFP construct and the pEGFP-N1 control vector in 24-well plates.

In the present study, a PEDV strain, YC2014, was isolated from intestinal samples of suckling piglets with acute diarrhea in 2014, the evolutionary characteristics and the immune protective efficiency of YC2014 were also determined. The neutralizing antibody titer in the colostrum and the milk on 7th day after farrowing of the YC2014 PEDV strain immunized group was also significantly higher than the other three groups (P < 0.05, Fig. 4c ).

To study the inhibitory mechanism of lycorine against EV71 infection, the synthesis of several typical viral proteins were detected by western blotting in 1.5 hours periods following lycorine treatment, when the effects of inhibition was just appeared ( Figure 3A and 3B) . Consistent with the results of the clinical scores and survival rates, virus replication in the muscle of lycorine-treated mice were inhibited by 10-100 folds at different time points compared to that of the saline control as detected by qRT-PCR and semi-quantitative RT-PCR ( Figure 5A and 5B). The virus replication in muscle tissues of lycorine-treated (0.4 mg/kg) mice was significantly inhibited by more than 100-fold compared to the saline control as detected by qRT-PCR and semiquantitative RT-PCR ( Figure 7A and 7B) . doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-8-483 id = cord-314954-otc0pc09 author = Liu, Xiaoli title = Identification of a novel linear B-cell epitope in the UL26 and UL26.5 proteins of Duck Enteritis Virus date = 2010-09-13 keywords = DEV; UL26 summary = In this study, the C-terminus of DEV UL26 protein (designated UL26c), which contains the whole of UL26.5, was expressed, and the recombinant UL26c protein was used to immunize BALB/c mice to generate monoclonal antibodies (mAb). Both western blotting and ELISA showed that 1C8 could react specifically with both chicken embryonic fibroblasts (CEF) infected with DEV ( Figure 1B and Figure 1C ) and the recombinant protein UL26c ( Figure 1D and Figure 1C ). The results of both western blotting and ELISA showed that this peptide defined by mAb 1C8 could react with murine anti-DEV antibody ( Figure 4 ), which demonstrated that the epitope had good reactivity. A series of 17 fragments that spanned the UL26c protein were expressed with a GST tag in this study, and used to screen for the minimal epitope recognized by mAb 1C8 using western blotting and ELISA. The specificity and reactivity of the mAb 1C8 were also determined by western blotting using recombinant UL26c protein and CEF infected by DEV, respectively. doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-7-223 id = cord-262904-0b0ljjq1 author = Lon, Jerome Rumdon title = Prediction and evolution of B cell epitopes of surface protein in SARS-CoV-2 date = 2020-10-29 keywords = SARS; epitope; protein summary = It is worth mentioning that all 6 identified epitopes were conserved in nearly 3500 SARS-CoV-2 genomes, showing that it is helpful to obtain stable and long-acting epitopes under the condition of high frequency of amino acid mutation, which deserved further study at the experiment level. On this basis, we predicted the linear and conformational B cell epitopes, analyzed the conservation of the epitopes, the adaptability and other evolutionary characteristics of the surface protein, which provided a theoretical basis for the vaccine development and prevention of SARS-CoV-2. With the amino acid sequences of the surface protein of SARS-CoV-2 of NC_045512.2 as templates, we predicted the 3D structure of E and M protein through the online server SWISS-MODEL [10] based on homology modeling method, selected the optimal structure based on the template identity and GMQE value [10] , and the rationality of the structure was evaluated by Ramachandran plot [11] with PDBsum server. doi = 10.1186/s12985-020-01437-4 id = cord-319954-lh32rhhe author = Loo, Liat Hui title = Evidence for the interaction of the human metapneumovirus G and F proteins during virus-like particle formation date = 2013-09-25 keywords = flag summary = Immunoblotting of lysates prepared from pCAGGS/M transfected cells with MAbM3F8 (anti-M) revealed the presence of a 28 kDa protein, the expected size of the HMPV M protein ( Figure 1C ).

Similarly lysates immunoprecipitated with anti-FLAG and immunoblotted using anti-cmyc revealed increasing amounts of F145 with increasing DSP concentration, together with a cmyc-tagged protein species >300 kDa ( Figure 2F ) whose molecular mass was consistent with higher oligomeric forms of the F protein. We failed to detect the presence of the M protein in detergent extracts prepared from pCAGGS/M transfected cells that were immunoprecipitated with influenza virus anti-NP (i.e. a non-specific antibody) and immunblotted with anti-M ( Figure 4C ); confirming the specificity of the M protein immunoprecipitation. doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-10-294 id = cord-254384-mwzz1db5 author = Lu, Guilan title = Large-scale seroprevalence analysis of human metapneumovirus and human respiratory syncytial virus infections in Beijing, China date = 2011-02-10 keywords = ELISA; hmpv summary = To assess the seroprevalence of hMPV infection in China, we tested a total of 1,156 serum specimens for the presence of anti-hMPV IgG antibody in children and adults free of acute respiratory illness in Beijing, China by using hMPV nucleocapsid (N) protein as an antigen. To assess the seroprevalence of hMPV infection in China, we used hMPV N protein as an antigen to test serum samples for the presence of anti-hMPV IgG antibody in children and adults free of acute respiratory illness in Beijing, China. Lower seropositive rates and geometric mean titer (GMT) of anti-hMPV IgG were observed in children aged six months to six years when compared to hRSV. To test the specificity of the ELISA methods established in this study, the reactions of mouse sera against influenza virus A (subtypes H1-H16), human coronaviruses (229E, HKU1 and NL63), and polyomavirus JC against hMPV and hRSV N protein were evaluated. doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-8-62 id = cord-325555-be78qely author = Lyoo, Hey Rhyoung title = Constant up-regulation of BiP/GRP78 expression prevents virus-induced apoptosis in BHK-21 cells with Japanese encephalitis virus persistent infection date = 2015-02-26 keywords = BHK-21; JEV; chop summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-015-0269-5 id = cord-273179-bpnak9ov author = Ma, Fen-lian title = Quantitative detection of human Malawi polyomavirus in nasopharyngeal aspirates, sera, and feces in Beijing, China, using real-time TaqMan-based PCR date = 2017-08-14 keywords = NPA; PCR; mwpyv summary = METHODS: We used real-time TaqMan-based PCR to detect MWPyV in the feces (n = 174) of children with diarrhea, nasopharyngeal aspirates (n = 887) from children with respiratory infections, and sera (n = 200) from healthy adults, and analyzed its clinical characteristics statistically.

In brief, the analysis of 1261 clinical samples only detected MWPyV in respiratory and fecal specimens from children, suggesting that the establishment of the primary infection occurs at an early age, and that the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts are sites of viral persistence. doi = 10.1186/s12985-017-0817-2 id = cord-349287-mwj2qby4 author = Mackay, Ian M. title = MERS coronavirus: diagnostics, epidemiology and transmission date = 2015-12-22 keywords = Coronavirus; East; KSA; MERS; Middle; Respiratory; Syndrome summary = The first known cases of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), associated with infection by a novel coronavirus (CoV), occurred in 2012 in Jordan but were reported retrospectively. Most human cases of MERS have been linked to lapses in infection prevention and control (IPC) in healthcare settings, with approximately 20 % of all virus detections reported among healthcare workers (HCWs) and higher exposures in those with occupations that bring them into close contact with camels. Since asymptomatic zoonoses have been posited [72] , an absence of antibodies to MERS-CoV among some humans who have regular and close contact with camels may reflect the rarity of actively infected animals at butcheries, a limited transmission risk associated with slaughtering DCs [70] , a pre-existing cross-protective immune status or some other factor(s) resulting in a low risk of disease and concurrent seroconversion developing after exposure in this group.

Previous studies have suggested that synthetic peptides corresponding to or overlapping with sequences in viral fusion proteins that have positive WWIHS scores can sometimes serve as viral entry inhibitors [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] . For example, Enfurvitide (Fuzeon) is a 36-amino acid peptide that overlaps with a WWIHS score-positive sequence in the transmembrane protein (TM) of HIV-1, and prevents viral fusion and entry of the virus.

RESULTS: HCoV-229E in vitro spiked swabs were processed in a novel two-step, direct-to-PCR methodology for viral detection. CONCLUSION: We have proven that the shaker-mill homogenization-based two-step, direct-to-PCR procedures provides sufficient viral lysis off swabs, where the resulting lysate can be used directly in PCR for the detection of HCoV-229E. Using human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) as our model organism, we developed a novel two-step methodology of optimized shaker-mill homogenization parameters that allowed for direct-to-PCR viral detection. doi = 10.1186/s12985-020-01405-y id = cord-253615-qylm0koe author = Müller, Marcel A title = Human Coronavirus NL63 Open Reading Frame 3 encodes a virion-incorporated N-glycosylated membrane protein date = 2010-01-15 keywords = NL63; ORF; SARS summary = In-silico analysis of potential glycosylation sites and membrane topology suggest properties similar to SARS-CoV ORF 3a protein ( Figure 1B and Table 1 ).

In conclusion, due to the continuous detection of new viruses in bats, the unclear situation regarding additional potential BoDV-1-reservoirs and molecular evidence for co-evolution of bats and bornaviruses, this study was conducted to investigate the potential presence of the most common orthobornaviruses in bats from endemic and non-endemic areas in Germany. Although the bicolored white-toothed shrew has been identified as indigenous reservoir of BoDV-1, other potential reservoirs or animal carriers are still unknown so that further investigations of small mammals including bat species are urgently needed.

In this study, drug resistance mutations (DRMs) and SD amongst HIV-1 sero-positive blood donors in Accra, Ghana were characterized. The data obtained would inform the selection of drugs for ART initiation to maximize therapeutic options in drug-naïve HIV-1 patients in Ghana. This study found major drug resistance mutations, E138A and K65R that respectively confer high level resistance to NNRTIs and NRTIs. Although, CRF02_AG was most predominant, the recorded percentage of subtype B and the evolutionary relationship inferred by phylogenetic analysis may suggest possible subtype importation. The data obtained is useful for the selection of drugs for ART initiation to maximize therapeutic outcomes in drug-naïve HIV-1 patients in Ghana. doi = 10.1186/s12985-020-01386-y id = cord-034467-jh9msz1c author = Olagoke, Olusola title = Koalas vaccinated against Koala retrovirus respond by producing increased levels of interferon-gamma date = 2020-10-31 keywords = CD4; IFN summary = In the present study, we examined the expression of important koala cytokines, immune markers and host restrictions factors to determine their pre-and post-vaccination levels in northern koalas harbouring endogenous KoRV.

In addition, none of the host restriction factors tested (BST2, ISG15, RSAD2 and TRIM1) had significant changes in their expression either at 4-or 8-weeks post-vaccination when compared to prevaccination levels. In this cohort of KoRV vaccinated and endogenously infected koalas, a small but significant increase in the expression of IFN-γ at both 4-and 8-weeks post-vaccination was observed, compared to pre-vaccination levels. Our study investigated the expression of four host restriction factors in koalas harbouring endogenous KoRV: BST2, ISG15, RSAD2 and TRIM1. doi = 10.1186/s12985-020-01442-7 id = cord-351920-igmb2yfe author = Oma, Veslemøy Sunniva title = Bovine coronavirus in naturally and experimentally exposed calves; viral shedding and the potential for transmission date = 2016-06-13 keywords = BCoV; RNA; calf summary = The aims of the study were to investigate the duration and quantity of BCoV shedding in feces and nasal secretions related to clinical signs, the presence of virus in blood and tissues and to test the hypothesis that seropositive calves are not infectious to naïve in-contact calves three weeks after BCoV infection. In two experimental studies, infected calves were not protected against reinfection with a different BCoV strain three weeks after the first challenge, but did not develop clinical signs [19, 20] . The majority of experimental studies have used BCoV inoculation as challenge procedure, which may influence clinical signs and viral shedding, and thereby the transmission potential compared to natural infection. The present study showed that calves infected with BCoV shed viral RNA for five weeks, and harbored viral RNA in intestinal tissues and lymph nodes even longer. doi = 10.1186/s12985-016-0555-x id = cord-321814-vt6yio6x author = Pan, Yongfei title = Isolation and characterization of a variant porcine epidemic diarrhea virus in China date = 2012-09-12 keywords = CHGD-01; ORF3; PEDV summary = doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-9-195 id = cord-304058-i8cywew0 author = Pfefferle, Susanne title = Reverse genetic characterization of the natural genomic deletion in SARS-Coronavirus strain Frankfurt-1 open reading frame 7b reveals an attenuating function of the 7b protein in-vitro and in-vivo date = 2009-08-24 keywords = Frankfurt-1; ORF; PCR; RNA; SARS; figure summary = doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-6-131 id = cord-286842-04cuk2cn author = Plyusnina, Angelina title = Recombinant Tula hantavirus shows reduced fitness but is able to survive in the presence of a parental virus: analysis of consecutive passages in a cell culture date = 2005-02-22 keywords = RNA summary = title: Recombinant Tula hantavirus shows reduced fitness but is able to survive in the presence of a parental virus: analysis of consecutive passages in a cell culture Tula hantavirus carrying recombinant S RNA segment (recTULV) grew in a cell culture to the same titers as the original cell adapted variant but presented no real match to the parental virus. Using the two specific RT-PCR conditions, the presence of V-type and REC-type S RNA was monitored on ten sequential passages of the mixture of TULV02 and RecTULV5 variants (Fig. 2 ). Although relatively short, the observed survival time of the recTULV in the presence of the original variant TUL02 seems to be sufficient for transmission of a recombinant virus, in a hypothetical in vivo situation, from one rodent to another. The data presented in this paper show that the recTULV presents no real match to the original cell adapted variant and that the lower fitness of the recombinant virus can not be increased by pre-passaging in cell culture. doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-2-12 id = cord-254713-ghcwfcx2 author = Razanajatovo, Norosoa H title = Detection of new genetic variants of Betacoronaviruses in Endemic Frugivorous Bats of Madagascar date = 2015-03-12 keywords = Madagascar; RNA; bat; specie summary = RESULTS: From 351 frugivorous bats, we detected 14 coronaviruses from two endemic bats species, of which 13 viruses were identified from Pteropus rufus and one from Eidolon dupreanum, giving an overall prevalence of 4.5%. Studies which aimed to identify potential reservoirs of emerging human CoVs have revealed that the Betacoronavirus SARS-CoV was closely related to CoVs detected in bats, specifically members of the genus (Rhinolophus), which brought the hypothesis of a spillover of this virus to several animal species (including civet cats and raccoons) sold in Chinese markets as bushmeat for human consumption [9] [10] [11] . A total of 351 bats belonging to 3 endemic bat species of the family Pteropodidae were captured and sampled: Rousettus madagascariensis (n = 179), Pteropus rufus (n = 76) and Eidolon dupreanum (n = 96) ( Table 1) . In the context of this study, we detected 14 coronaviruses forming nine genetically distinct strains in two endemic Malagasy frugivorous bat species. doi = 10.1186/s12985-015-0271-y id = cord-000315-rfwzj1at author = Riaz Shah, Shahida Amjad title = Hepatitis G Virus associated aplastic anemia: A recent case from Pakistan date = 2011-01-21 keywords = HGV; aplastic summary = title: Hepatitis G Virus associated aplastic anemia: A recent case from Pakistan One of 93 samples from patients with HA-aplastic anemia has hepatitis G associated aplastic anaemia with positive HGV RNA.

At 20 °C, infectious SARS-CoV-2 virus was still detectable after 28 days post inoculation, for all non-porous surfaces tested (glass, polymer note, stainless steel, vinyl and paper notes). The present study has demonstrated that in controlled conditions, SARS-CoV-2 at a starting viral load and in a fluid matrix equivalent to that typically excreted by infected patients, remains viable for at least 28 days when dried onto non-porous surfaces at 20 °C and 50% relative humidity. It is important to note that after 28 days, infectious SARS-CoV-2 was also recovered from stainless steel, vinyl and glass, suggesting survivability on paper or polymer banknotes was not very different from the other non-porous surfaces studied. doi = 10.1186/s12985-020-01418-7 id = cord-318853-mxyxwkhx author = Sallie, Richard title = Replicative homeostasis II: Influence of polymerase fidelity on RNA virus quasispecies biology: Implications for immune recognition, viral autoimmunity and other "virus receptor" diseases date = 2005-08-22 keywords = HBV; HCV; RNA; cell; protein; receptor; viral; virus summary = Perhaps more importantly, ineluctable generation of broad phenotypic diversity after viral RNA is translated to protein quasispecies suggests a mechanism of disease that specifically targets, and functionally disrupts, the host cell surface molecules – including hormone, lipid, cell signalling or neurotransmitter receptors – that viruses co-opt for cell entry. Hence, as relative concentrations of wild-type and variant viral proteins vary, alteration of both processivity and fidelity of RNA pol results, permitting viruses to adaptively respond to environmental changes, including immune recognition and reaction to evolving cell receptors. As clear evidence exists for viral disruption of leptin function [106] and virus-associated weight gain in humans [107] and monkeys [108] , is it possible the global epidemics of type II diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, hyperlipidaemia and obesity now prevalent [109] [110] [111] [112] [113] [114] [115] [116] , are just that; epidemics fundamentally caused by viruses that co-opt insulin or leptin or other associated receptors for cell access and generate protein quasispecies that disrupt receptor function? doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-2-70 id = cord-263976-b9shffb3 author = Shaukat, Shahzad title = Identification and characterization of unrecognized viruses in stool samples of non-polio acute flaccid paralysis children by simplified VIDISCA date = 2014-08-12 keywords = NIH; PAK; PCR; VIDISCA summary = One sequence independent method, Virus Discovery based on cDNA Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (VIDISCA) is capable of identifying viruses that would have remained unidentified in standard diagnostics or cell cultures.

On the other hand, genetic analysis in ORF2 gene (capsid protein) showed that PAK-NIH-VS908 shared 99.7% nucleotide and 100% amino acid similarities with HAstV type 3 isolate IDH2211 (AB54844), a finding which matches with the results from VIDISCA and we conclude that the astrovirus is a recombinant, with a recombination site between ORF1a and ORF2. doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-11-146 id = cord-337274-1fw0xiin author = Si, Wei title = A multiplex reverse transcription-nested polymerase chain reaction for detection and differentiation of wild-type and vaccine strains of canine distemper virus date = 2010-05-01 keywords = CDV summary = title: A multiplex reverse transcription-nested polymerase chain reaction for detection and differentiation of wild-type and vaccine strains of canine distemper virus A multiplex reverse transcription-nested polymerase chain reaction (RT-nPCR) method was developed for the detection and differentiation of wild-type and vaccine strains of canine distemper virus (CDV). The multiplex reverse transcription-nested polymerase chain reaction (RT-nPCR) method could be used to effectively detect and differentiate between wild-type CDV-infected dogs from dogs which were vaccinated with CDV vaccine, which would make it useful in clinical diagnosis and epidemiological monitoring. In summary, the multiplex RT-nPCR developed in this study is a highly specific and sensitive assay for the rapid detection and differentiation of wild-type and vaccine strains of CDV.

Phylogenetic analysis of partial L-segment sequences using maximum-likelihood and Bayesian methods revealed that the newfound hantavirus, designated Mouyassué virus (MOUV), was highly divergent and basal to all other rodentand soricomorph-borne hantaviruses, except for Nova virus in the European common mole (Talpa europaea). After innumerable failed attempts, hantavirus RNA was detected by RT-PCR in ethanol-fixed liver tissues from two of 12 banana pipistrelles (Neoromicia nanus Peters 1852), captured during June 2011 near Mouyassué village (5°22''07"N, 3°05''37"W) in Aboisso District, 130 km from Abidjan, in the extreme southeastern region of Côte d''Ivoire in West Africa ( Figure 1 ). The newfound hantavirus, designated Mouyassué virus (MOUV), exhibited low nucleotide and amino acid sequence similarity of less than 69% to all representative soricomorph-and rodent-associated hantaviruses, except for the 76.3% sequence similarity with Nova virus (NVAV), previously reported in the European common mole (Talpa europaea) [12] . doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-9-34 id = cord-308397-kqftn75t author = Sun, Jia-zeng title = MicroRNA miR-320a and miR-140 inhibit mink enteritis virus infection by repression of its receptor, feline transferrin receptor date = 2014-12-03 keywords = 3′utr; F81; MEV; cell summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-014-0210-3 id = cord-351942-u9zpyy29 author = Tan, Bing title = Isolation and characterization of adenoviruses infecting endangered golden snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) date = 2016-11-25 keywords = WIV19; adenovirus summary = title: Isolation and characterization of adenoviruses infecting endangered golden snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) FINDINGS: We conducted a surveillance of viral infection in endangered golden snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) in the subfamily Colobinae in China, and found that 5.1% of sampled individuals were positive for adenovirus. Golden snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) living in Shennongjia Nature Reserve (SNR) in Hubei, China, are an endangered species belonging to the subfamily Colobinae [14] . For investigating the antibody prevalence against the AdV infection, virus neutralization assay was performed using archived serum samples collected from 8 golden snub-nosed monkeys in SNR [23] . The present isolate from these monkeys is distantly related to known AdV types, and likely represents a novel species in the genus Mastadenovirus.

Here we report the discovery of a novel nidovirus in a collection of ball pythons (Python regius) in upstate New York with pneumonia, tracheitis and esophagitis. Based on the phylogenetic position and the genetic distances between In situ hybridization to a 934 nt fragment of the genomic polyprotein 1ab region was used to assess viral infection and distribution in the lung tissue.

To determine the phylogenetic relationships of the newly identified insect viruses, maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic trees were constructed based on the amino acid alignments of ORF2a (unprocessed S protein) and a concatenated region of the highly conserved domains within ORF1ab (3CL pro , RdRp and ZnHel1). A Clustal X alignment of the mesonivirus ORF3a proteins and individual structural analyses using SignalP and TMHMM and NetNGlyc (www.expasy.org) indicated that each is a class I transmembrane glycoprotein with a predicted N-termimal signal peptide, an ectodomain containing a conserved set of 6 cysteine residues and a single conserved N-glycosylation site, a transmembrane domain and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain ( Figure 4A, 4D) . doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-11-97 id = cord-330251-dwjijmwz author = Volmer, Romain title = Nucleolar localization of influenza A NS1: striking differences between mammalian and avian cells date = 2010-03-17 keywords = NPM; ns1 summary = doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-7-63 id = cord-292794-okh6i4l1 author = Wang, Bin title = Protective efficacy of a broadly cross-reactive swine influenza DNA vaccine encoding M2e, cytotoxic T lymphocyte epitope and consensus H3 hemagglutinin date = 2012-06-27 keywords = H1N1; dna; influenza summary = Results demonstrated that there was no detectable virus load in all the vaccine-immunized mice, while empty vector control group showed high lung viral titers ( Figure 4 ).

Therefore, it is important to establish a method to simultaneously detect ILTV and IBV antibodies for the differential diagnosis and immune response evaluation after vaccination. In this study, a method employing Luminex xMAP technology to simultaneously detect ILTV and IBV antibodies in serum was established, optimized and used for the differential diagnosis of IBV and ILTV. 2 and 3 demonstrated that xMAP duplex assay for ILTV and IBV has a high specificity since there were no cross-reactions with serum positive for other avian diseases, such as avian influenza virus To compare duplex xMAP assay with ELISA for ILTV/IBV detection, 90 chicken serum samples from a chicken farm in Huizhou, China were used and the results are shown in Table 7 . doi = 10.1186/s12985-018-1048-x id = cord-316142-wg1qwmj1 author = Weiss, Sabrina title = A novel Coltivirus-related virus isolated from free-tailed bats from Côte d’Ivoire is able to infect human cells in vitro date = 2017-09-18 keywords = CTFV; EYAV; TFRV summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-017-0843-0 id = cord-342117-r2chpw7y author = Wu, Xinwei title = Inhibitory effect of small interfering RNA on dengue virus replication in mosquito cells date = 2010-10-14 keywords = C6/36; DEN; RNA summary = The antiviral effect of siRNA was evaluated by measurement of cell survival rate using the MTT method and viral RNA was quantitated with real-time RT-PCR. CONCLUSIONS: Our data showed that synthetic siRNA against the DEN-1 membrane glycoprotein precursor gene effectively inhibited DEN-1 viral RNA replication and increased C6/36 cell survival rate. Therefore, in this study, we designed and synthesized 21 nt siRNAs against the DEN-I viral PrM gene, and investigated their inhibition effects of dengue virus replication in transfected C6/36 cells. These data indicate that siRNA against DEN viral genome can effectively inhibit viral RNA replication in the C6/36 cells, protect host cell from viral attack, suggesting its potential role in prevention and treatment of dengue fever.

The clinical characteristics of the RTIs caused by HAdV are very similar to those of influenza, PIV and other respiratory tract pathogens, making it difficult to clinically diagnose this type of infection. This 1-year study documented the prevalence, age distribution, seasonality and molecular epidemiology of HAdV infections among children hospitalized with RTIs at Beiing Friendship Hospital. doi = 10.1186/s12985-019-1185-x id = cord-325172-a8ntxnmm author = Yip, Ming Shum title = Antibody-dependent infection of human macrophages by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus date = 2014-05-06 keywords = ADE; SARS; cell; infection; spike summary = doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-11-82 id = cord-300908-i80tuhqk author = Yu, Fuxun title = Application of recombinant severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus nucleocapsid protein for the detection of SFTSV-specific human IgG and IgM antibodies by indirect ELISA date = 2015-08-04 keywords = ELISA; SFTSV summary = title: Application of recombinant severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus nucleocapsid protein for the detection of SFTSV-specific human IgG and IgM antibodies by indirect ELISA rSFTSV-N protein based indirect IgG and IgM enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) systems were established to detect specific human IgG and IgM antibodies, respectively. Application of the rSFTSV-N protein based indirect IgG ELISA to the 115 serum samples showed results that perfectly matched those of the total antibody sandwich ELISA with a sensitivity and specificity of 100 %. To determine the appropriate dilutions of serum samples for the indirect IgG and IgM ELISAs using the rSFTSV-N protein mentioned above, samples from healthy volunteers and SFTS confirmed patients were diluted two-fold from 1:100 up to 1:1000. To evaluate the usefulness for diagnosis of the rSFTSV-N protein we developed, we established an indirect IgG and IgM ELISA for the laboratory diagnosis of SFTSV infection in humans with the serum samples as clinical specimens. doi = 10.1186/s12985-015-0350-0 id = cord-329680-ekxsv91t author = Yu, Yunjia title = Inhibition effects of patchouli alcohol against influenza a virus through targeting cellular PI3K/Akt and ERK/MAPK signaling pathways date = 2019-12-23 keywords = Akt; Fig; IAV summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-019-1266-x id = cord-277547-2vim1wno author = Zandi, Keivan title = Antiviral activity of four types of bioflavonoid against dengue virus type-2 date = 2011-12-28 keywords = DENV-2; RNA; Vero summary = In the present study, antiviral activity of four types of bioflavonoid against dengue virus type -2 (DENV-2) in Vero cell was evaluated. Daidzein showed a weak anti-dengue activity with IC(50 )= 142.6 μg mL(-1 )when the DENV-2 infected cells were treated after virus adsorption. Although there was no significant direct virucidal activity against DENV-2 by quercetin, continuous treatment of cells from 5 h before virus infection up to 4 days post-infection exhibited anti-dengue activity with IC 50 = 28.9 μg mL -1 (Figure 3a) . There was no significant change in the antiviral activity of daidzein when cells were treated continuously from 5 h before virus infection up to 4 days post infection comparing to its anti-dengue activity for postadsorption treatment (Figure 1 ). To investigate which of the many flavonoids could affect DENV infection, in the present study, we examined the potential effects of quercetin, naringin, hesperetin and daidzein on dengue virus infection of Vero cells. doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-8-560 id = cord-283689-dzin12qb author = Zhang, Wei title = Involvement of PRRSV NSP3 and NSP5 in the autophagy process date = 2019-01-28 keywords = NSP3; NSP5; PRRSV summary = RESULTS: Autophagy was activated by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) NSP3, NSP5 and NSP9, which are two transmembrane proteins and an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, respectively. Based on the data presented in Fig. 2c , immunoblotting and immunofluorescence assay showed that the expression of the p62 protein was increased, indicating that NSP3 and NSP5 of PRRSV induced the formation of autophagosomes. As shown in Fig. 3a , ATG5 puncta were arranged in reticular structures and colocalized with calnexin in the Fig. 1 The distribution of autophagy proteins in PRRSV-infected Marc-145 cells. As shown in the present study, the induction of autophagy by PRRSV NSP3 and NSP5 contributed to the formation of autophagosomes derived from the ER, and the mature autophagosomes were not degraded by fusion with lysosomes. doi = 10.1186/s12985-019-1116-x id = cord-000403-vzbh457k author = Zhang, Weijun title = Identification of CD8(+ )cytotoxic T lymphocyte epitopes from porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus matrix protein in BALB/c mice date = 2011-05-30 keywords = IFN; PRRSV; dna summary = Twenty-seven nanopeptides derived from the matrix (M) protein of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) were screened for their ability to elicit a recall interferon-γ (IFN-γ) response from the splenocytes of BALB/c mice following DNA vaccination and a booster vaccination with recombinant vaccinia virus rWR-PRRSV-M. We screened peptides derived from the PRRSV M protein for their ability to induce interferon (IFN)-γ in splenocytes harvested from BALB/ c mice following DNA vaccination and a booster vaccination with recombinant vaccinia virus expressing M protein. In contrast, control mice vaccinated with pVAX1-only or PBS-only did not show significant increases in M protein-specific antibody titers after the booster vaccination with rWR-PRRSV-M (P > 0.05, Additional file 5, Fig. S5 ). Specific increases in the number of cells producing IFN-γ following stimulation with the peptides "K 93 FITSRCRL" and "F 57 GYMTFVHF" was observed by day 3 after the booster vaccination with rWR-PRRSV-M (Figure 1 and 2) . doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-8-263 id = cord-274375-a11ztdpg author = Zhang, Yiqiang title = Analysis of synonymous codon usage in Hepatitis A virus date = 2011-04-16 keywords = HAV; codon summary = In surprise, only A 3 % has a significant correlation with both principle axes which represent the major trend in codon usage variation, suggesting that nucleotide A is the major factor influencing the synonymous codon usage pattern of HAV genome. Despite the ratio of U 3 % was the highest, the major compositional constraint, which shaping the synonymous codon usage pattern of HAV genome, was from the percent of nucleotide A on the third codon position (Table 4) . This discovery was different from many reports which suggest that C+G compositional constraints were the major factor influencing codon usage bias in virus genome [18, 29, 30] . Mutational pressure and natural selection are generally thought to be the main factors that account for codon usage variation between genes in different Table 3 Summary of correlation analysis between the A, U, C, G contents and A 3 , U 3 , C 3 , G 3 organisms [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] . doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-8-174 id = cord-354138-ps3rzjve author = Zhao, Fu-Rong title = Serological report of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 infection among cats in Northeastern China in 2012-02 and 2013-03 date = 2014-03-14 keywords = H1N1 summary = However, prevalence of A (H1N1) pdm09 influenza virus infection in cats in northeastern China is unknown. However, prevalence of A (H1N1) pdm09 influenza virus infection in cats in northeastern China is unknown. Therefore, the prevalence of A (H1N1) pdm09 influenza virus infections was performed among cats in northeastern China in this study. Therefore, the prevalence of A (H1N1) pdm09 influenza virus infections was performed among cats in northeastern China in this study. Additionally, in order to have a timely data for pandemic (H1N1) 2009 prevalence in northeastern China, 115 blood samples were retrospectively analyzed from pet dogs and pet cats in Harbin in 2008. Perhaps cats were at a higher probability of infection in northeastern China, due to they exposures in dense populations of humans with high influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 attack rates.

In the present study, we designed and synthesized a tetra-branched multiple antigenic peptide (MAP) derived from the M2e sequence of H5N1 virus VN/1194 strain, denoted as M2e-MAP, with an aim to develop a M2e-based vaccine for induction of M2e-specific immune responses and cross-protection of the vaccinated animals against lethal challenge of divergent H5N1 virus strains. After receiving the lethal dose (10 LD 50 ) of two H5N1 virus strains, the M2e-MAP vaccinated mice were further evaluated in terms of cross-protective ability by daily observation of the clinical symptoms, including weight loss and survival rate for two weeks, and then histopathological examination following removal of lung tissues. doi = 10.1186/1743-422x-7-9 id = cord-273711-bxijla09 author = Zhao, Zhixun title = RNA interference targeting virion core protein ORF095 inhibits Goatpox virus replication in Vero cells date = 2012-02-17 keywords = GFP; GTPV; RNA summary = title: RNA interference targeting virion core protein ORF095 inhibits Goatpox virus replication in Vero cells When Vero cells were transfected with shRNA expression vectors (p61/GFP, p70/GFP, p165/GFP and p296/GFP) and then infected with GTPV, GTPV-ORF095-70 was found to be the most effective inhibition site in decreasing cytopathic effect (CPE) induced by GTPV. These results suggest that the siRNA generated by in vitro transcription effectively and specifically inhibit the expression of GTPV ORF095 conserved regions in BHK-21 cells. To investigate whether or not knockout of ORF095 relieves cytopathic effect (CPE) induced by GTPV, Vero cells were transfected by plasmids expressing ORF095 protein-targeted shRNAs (p61/GFP, p70/GFP, p165/GFP and p296/GFP), respectively. Therefore, ORF095 gene is a good target to suppress GTPV replication by RNAi. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that vector-based shRNA methodology can effectively inhibit GTPV replication on Vero cells.

All 15 HPyV6-positive patients were diagnosed with lower respiratory tract infections, and their viral loads ranged from 1.38 to 182.42 copies/μl nasopharyngeal aspirate specimen. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of HPyV6 was 1.7 % in nasopharyngeal aspirate specimens from hospitalized children with respiratory tract infections, as analyzed by real-time PCR. Previous studies have indicated that a number of HPyVs are associated with human diseases, such as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (JCPyV), hemorrhagic cystitis (BKPyV), Merkel cell carcinoma (MCPyV), and trichodysplasia spinulosa (TSPyV) [3, 7, 9, [17] [18] [19] . Because initial infections with most HPyVs occur in infancy, the prevalence of HPyV6 in NPAs from children was detected with real-time PCR. The detection rate for HPyV6 by real-time PCR assay was 1.7 % in 887 NPA samples collected from hospitalized children with RTI. doi = 10.1186/s12985-015-0390-5 id = cord-286332-cdg4im5h author = van Beurden, Steven J. title = A reverse genetics system for avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus based on targeted RNA recombination date = 2017-06-12 keywords = H52; IBV; LR7; MHV; RNA summary = doi = 10.1186/s12985-017-0775-8
