Multiplex gel-based PCR assay for the simultaneous detection of 5 genotypes of porcine astroviruses
Porcine astrovirus (PAstV) has been associated experimentally with diarrhea in piglets, but much more knowledge is needed about this virus. PAstV has high genetic variability, and 5 genotypes have been identified, namely PAstV1–5.

Survey of Treponemal Infections in Free-Ranging and Captive Macaques, 1999-2012. [PDF]
Survey results showed treponemal infection among pet macaques in Southeast Asia, a region with a high prevalence of human yaws. This finding, along with studies showing treponemal infection in nonhuman primates in Africa, should encourage a One Health ...

High prevalence of anelloviruses in vitreous fluid of children with seasonal hyperacute panuveitis. [PDF]
Seasonal hyperacute panuveitis (SHAPU) is a potentially blinding ocular disease occurring in Nepal that principally affects young children. Random amplification of partially purified vitreous fluid (VF)-derived nucleic acid revealed the presence of human

Astroviruses—Emerging Neurotropic Pathogens [PDF]
Viral encephalitis has a complex origin, with >100 viruses implicated in its etiology. Furthermore, a significant fraction of suspected cases of viral encephalitis defy conventional efforts at microbial diagnosis and have no attributable etiology. For example, the California Encephalitis Project [1] analyzed encephalitis cases in the United States by ...

An emerging novel goose astrovirus associated with gosling gout disease, China
Since the first isolation from human, astroviruses have been detected in many species. Wide host range and occasional cross-transmission of astrovirus pose a risk for zoonotic infection.

Feeding of the probiotic bacterium Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 differentially affects shedding of enteric viruses in pigs [PDF]
Effects of probiotic bacteria on viral infections have been described previously. Here, two groups of sows and their piglets were fed with or without feed supplementation of the probiotic bacterium Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415.
