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 ...

Surveillance and genetic diversity analysis of avian astrovirus in China
Avian astroviruses (AAstVs) have caused major problem for poultry breeding industries in China in recent years, and the goose gout caused by goose astrovirus has produced particularly great economic losses. To better understand the prevalence and genetic

Astroviruses in terrestrial Malagasy mammals
Small terrestrial mammals are major hosts of infectious agents responsible for zoonotic diseases. Astroviruses (AstVs)–the cause of non-bacterial gastroenteritis mainly affecting young children–have been detected in a wide array of mammalian and avian host species. However, understanding the factors that influence AstV infection within and across hosts

The first human astrovirus was discovered in 1975 by Madeley and Cosgrove through visualization of viral particles in stool using electron microscopy. Over the course of the next ∼20 years, an additional seven serotypes of human astroviruses were discovered. In the last decade, new technological advances in microarrays and sequencing strategies enabled

Viral diversity and phylogeny of astroviruses from eonycteris spelaea in Singapore.
Astroviruses cause gastroenteritis in many different animals including humans. Recently, several studies conducted in China, Hong Kong and Germany detected astroviruses in bats.

Although classical human astroviruses (HAstV) are known to be a leading cause of viral gastroenteritis, the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of novel HAstV remain largely unknown.

Genetic diversity of astroviruses detected in wild aquatic birds in Hong Kong
Wild waterfowl serve as a reservoir of some astroviruses. Fecal samples from wild waterfowl collected at Hong Kong's Marshes were tested using pan-astrovirus reverse transcription-PCR.
