Challenges Associated With Re‐Emergence of Lassa Fever in Nigeria: An Exploratory Study of Epidemiology, Phylogenomics, and Recommendations Toward Its Eradication

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Lassa fever (LF) is a viral hemorrhagic illness endemic in Nigeria and other West African countries. In recent years, the number of reported cases of LF in Nigeria has increased. In this study, we discussed the epidemiology of LF, the phylogenomics of the LF virus, issues associated with the increased cases of LF, and ...

Investigation of Viral, Bacterial and Parasitic Zoonotic Diseases in Rodents in Turkey

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 6, November 2024.
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

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
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 ...

Current state of diagnostics of pathogens of viral hemorrhagic fevers using isothermal amplification method

open access: yesСибирский научный медицинский журнал
The work is an overview of the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method and its application to diagnostics of hemorrhagic fevers. Its objective was to briefly characterize isothermal amplification and systematize the available data on ...

Conserved Endonuclease Function of Hantavirus L Polymerase. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Hantaviruses are important emerging pathogens belonging to the Bunyaviridae family. Like other segmented negative strand RNA viruses, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) also known as L protein of hantaviruses lacks an intrinsic "capping activity ...

Understanding Viral Haemorrhagic Fevers: Virus Diversity, Vector Ecology, and Public Health Strategies

open access: yesPathogens
Viral haemorrhagic fevers encompass a diverse group of severe, often life-threatening illnesses caused by viruses from multiple families, including Arenaviridae, Filoviridae, Flaviviridae, Hantaviridae, Nairoviridae, Peribunyaviridae, and Phenuiviridae ...

Post-translational processing of the glycoproteins of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Intracellular events in the synthesis, glycosylation, and transport of the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) glycoproteins have been examined. We have shown by N-glycanase digestion that LCMV strain Arm-4 bears five oligosaccharides on GP-1 and ...

Interaction of silver nanoparticles with Tacaribe virus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Silver nanoparticles possess many unique properties that make them attractive for use in biological applications. Recently they received attention when it was shown that 10 nm silver nanoparticles were bactericidal, which is ...

Within host RNA virus persistence : mechanisms and consequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
RER is funded by the Wellcome Trust, UK (Grant 101788/Z/13/Z) and DEG by US National Institutes of Health (R01 NS038932).In a prototypical response to an acute viral infection it would be expected that the adaptive immune response would eliminate all ...

The Role of Platelets in Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Arenaviridae, Bunyaviridae, Filoviridae and Flaviviridae are all RNA viruses that can induce a coagulopathy in infected patients. While there is a paucity of information on the cause of this coagulopathy, these viruses all produce a severe ...
