An Insight into the Molecular Characteristics and Associated Pathology of Chicken Astroviruses
The chicken astrovirus (CAstV) is a ubiquitous enteric RNA virus that has been associated mainly with conditions, such as the runting-stunting syndrome, severe kidney disease, visceral gout, and white chick syndrome, in broiler-type chickens worldwide ...

Attenuation hotspots in neurotropic human astroviruses
During the last decade, the detection of neurotropic astroviruses has increased dramatically. The MLB genogroup of astroviruses represents a genetically distinct group of zoonotic astroviruses associated with gastroenteritis and severe neurological ...

Astroviruses are positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses. Their genomes contain three open reading frames, but the exact number of encoded proteins remains unknown. Astroviruses were originally identified in association with childhood diarrhea; subsequently, they have been identified as a common enteric virus infecting children under the age of 2 ...

Novel Astroviruses in Insectivorous Bats [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bats are increasingly recognized to harbor a wide range of viruses, and in most instances these viruses appear to establish long-term persistence in these animals. They are the reservoir of a number of human zoonotic diseases including Nipah, Ebola, and severe acute respiratory syndrome.

Astroviruses and celiac disease: a preliminary study into potential environmental triggers
Objective: Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic, multi-organ, autoimmune disease in which different viruses may play a role in the pathogenesis. human astroviruses (Mamastrovirus) have also been shown to infect enterocytes and replicate in intestinal ...
