Adaptive immunity restricts replication of novel murine astroviruses [PDF]

, 2012
The mechanisms of astrovirus pathogenesis are largely unknown, in part due to a lack of a small-animal model of disease. Using shotgun sequencing and a custom analysis pipeline, we identified two novel astroviruses capable of infecting research mice ...

Genetic characteristics of classical astroviruses in Shenzhen, China, 2016–2019

Journal of Medical Virology, 2023
Human astrovirus (HAstV) is a single‐stranded, positive‐sense RNA virus and is the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis. However, despite its prevalence, astroviruses still remain one of the least studied enteroviruses.

Influence of age and body condition on astrovirus infection of bats in Singapore: An evolutionary and epidemiological analysis

One Health, 2017
Bats are unique mammals that are reservoirs of high levels of virus diversity. Although several of these viruses are zoonotic, the majority are not. Astroviruses, transmitted fecal-orally, are commonly detected in a wide diversity of bat species, are ...

Candidates in Astroviruses, Seadornaviruses, Cytorhabdoviruses and Coronaviruses for +1 frame overlapping genes accessed by leaky scanning [PDF]

, 2010
Background Overlapping genes are common in RNA viruses where they serve as a mechanism to optimize the coding potential of compact genomes. However, annotation of overlapping genes can be difficult using conventional gene-finding software.

Epidemiology of Classic and Novel Human Astrovirus: Gastroenteritis and Beyond

Viruses, 2017
Since they were identified in 1975, human astroviruses have been considered one of the most important agents of viral acute gastroenteritis in children. However, highly divergent astroviruses infecting humans have been recently discovered and associated ...

Molecular epidemiology and virulence of goose astroviruses genotype-2 with different internal gene sequences

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Goose astrovirus (GAstV) is a small, non-enveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus. GAstV has rapidly spread across various regions in China since 2016.

Evidence for genetic variation in Natterer’s bats (Myotis nattereri) across three regions in Germany but no evidence for co-variation with their associated astroviruses [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: As bats have recently been described to harbor many different viruses, several studies have investigated the genetic co-variation between viruses and different bat species.
