Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011 By screening rabbits with enterocolitis or enteritis complex and asymptomatic rabbits, we identified a novel astrovirus. The virus was distantly related (19.3%–23.7% aa identity) in the capsid precursor to other mammalian astroviruses within the ...

Human stool contains a previously unrecognized diversity of novel astroviruses [PDF]
Virology Journal, 2009 Human astroviruses are a leading cause of gastrointestinal disease. Since their discovery in 1975, 8 closely related serotypes have been described in humans, and more recently, two new astrovirus species, astrovirus MLB1 and astrovirus VA1, were ...

Intra- and Cross-Species Transmission of Astroviruses
Viruses, 2021 Astroviruses are non-enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses that infect mammalian and avian species. In humans, astrovirus infections are one of the most common causes of gastroenteritis in children. Infection has also been linked to serious neurological

Novel Human Astroviruses: Prevalence and Association with Common Enteric Viruses in Undiagnosed Gastroenteritis Cases in Spain [PDF]
Viruses, 2019 A remarkable percentage of acute gastroenteritis cases remain etiologically undiagnosed. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of common and emerging enteric viruses, such as novel human astroviruses, among undiagnosed samples from ...

Detection of novel astroviruses in urban brown rats and previously known astroviruses in humans [PDF]
Journal of General Virology, 2010 Several novel astroviruses have been recently discovered in humans and in other animals. Here, we report results from our surveillance of astroviruses in human and rodent faecal samples in Hong Kong.

Prevalence of Astroviruses in Different Animal Species in Poland
VirusesAstroviruses (AstVs) are small RNA viruses characterized by a high mutation rate, the ability to recombine, and interspecies transmission, which allows them to infect a multitude of hosts including humans, companion animals, and farmed animals as well as

A hidden gene in astroviruses encodes a viroporin [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Astroviruses are common human pathogens and their genomes contain three known protein-coding genes. Here, Lulla et al. report a fourth, previously overlooked gene encoding protein XP which has a viroporin-like activity that is important for efficient ...
