Investigation of Viral, Bacterial and Parasitic Zoonotic Diseases in Rodents in Turkey
Rodents are reservoir hosts for zoonotic pathogens. In this study, the presence of viral lymphocytic choriomeningitis and hantavirus infections, bacterial tularaemia and leptospirosis, and parasitic leishmaniasis and toxoplasmosis were investigated in 498 rodents collected in Erzurum province, Turkey.

Identification and Genetic Analysis of Species D Rotaviruses in Pangolin Samples
Pangolins have been found to carry severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2)‐related coronaviruses. In light of this discovery, interest has been piqued in viromes of these heavily trafficked wild animals. In this study, we performed viral metagenomic sequencing to explore viromes of both confiscated dead pangolins and captive ...

Transcription and replication mechanisms of Bunyaviridae and Arenaviridae L proteins
Bunyaviridae and Arenaviridae virus families include an important number of highly pathogenic viruses for humans. They are enveloped viruses with negative stranded RNA genomes divided into three (bunyaviruses) or two (arenaviruses) segments. Each genome segment is coated by the viral nucleoproteins (NPs) and the polymerase (L protein) to form a ...

High Diversity and Ancient Common Ancestry of Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is the prototype of the family Arenaviridae. LCMV can be associated with severe disease in humans, and its global distribution reflects the broad dispersion of the primary rodent reservoir, the house mouse (Mus ...

Keeping track of hidden dangers - The short history of the Sabiá virus
Emerging infectious diseases are a global threat. In countries like Brazil, where biodiversity is high and public health conditions in terms of infrastructure and medical care are often precarious, emerging diseases are particularly worrisome.

Exploring the Immunopathogenesis of Viral Hemorrhagic Fever in Mice with a Humanized Immune System
Viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) as a disease entity was first codified in the 1930s by soviet scientists investigating patients suffering from hantavirus infection. The group of hemorrhagic fever viruses (HFVs) has since expanded to include members from at

Differential Immune Responses to Hemorrhagic Fever-Causing Arenaviruses
The family Arenaviridae contains several pathogens of major clinical importance. The Old World (OW) arenavirus Lassa virus is endemic in West Africa and is estimated to cause up to 300,000 infections each year.

Detection of Latino virus (Arenaviridae: Mammarenavirus) naturally infecting Calomys callidus
Mammarenavirus species are associated with a specific rodent host species, although an increasing number of virus has been associated to more than one host, suggesting that co-evolution is less robust than initially thought. There are few eco-epidemiological studies of South America mammarenaviruses in non-endemic areas of Arenavirus Hemorrhagic Fever,
