Bunyaviridae: Recent Biochemical Developments
Introduction. The scope of this review is limited to the basic biochemical constituency of the bunyaviruses and the structure-function relationships of their proteins and nucleic acids. The complex antigenic relationships among bunyaviruses have been reviewed elsewhere (Casals, 1971; Murphy, Harrison & Whitfield, 1973; Murphy, 1975; Porterfield et al ...

The role of platelets in the pathogenesis of viral hemorrhagic fevers. [PDF]
Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHF) are acute zoonotic diseases that, early on, seem to cause platelet destruction or dysfunction. Here we present the four major ways viruses affect platelet development and function and new evidence of molecular factors that ...

Schmallenberg virus: emergence of an Orthobunyavirus among ruminants in Western Europe [PDF]
Recently, a novel virus has been identified among ruminants in Western Europe. This virus, the so-called Schmallenberg virus, belongs to the family Bunyaviridae, genus Orthobunyavirus, serogroup Simbu and is closely related to Akabane, Aino and Shamonda ...

Heparan sulfate proteoglycan is an important attachment factor for cell entry of Akabane and Schmallenberg viruses [PDF]
Akabane (AKAV) and Schmallenberg (SBV) viruses are Orthobunyavirus transmitted by arthropod vectors with a broad cellular tropism in vitro as well as in vivo Both AKAV and SBV cause arthrogryposis-hydranencephaly syndrome in ruminants.

Gouleako and Herbert Viruses in Pigs, Republic of Korea, 2013
Several viruses in the family Bunyaviridae are pathogenic to animals and cause vector-borne zoonoses. In 2013, investigation of cause of death of 9 pigs on 1 farm in the Republic of Korea found infection with Gouleako and Herbert viruses.

Isolation of an English uukuvirus (family Bunyaviridae) [PDF]
SummaryA virus of the Uukuniemi serogroup was isolated from various organs of a moribund kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) and from ticks (Ixodes uriae) that were feeding on the bird. The kittiwake was found on Marsden beach, north-east England. This is the first virus in the family Bunyaviridae to have been isolated in England and only the second English ...

ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.
