Bunyaviridae: Recent Biochemical Developments

open access: yesJournal of General Virology, 1977
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]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
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 ...

Tick Species Infesting Livestock in Three Bioclimatic Areas of Senegal: Bioecology, Prevalence of Tick Infestation, Associated Categorical Factors and Crimean‐Congo Haemorrhagic Fever Virus Infection

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
Ticks were collected between October 2020 and November 2022, from cattle, goats and sheep in the Sahelian, Sudano‐Sahelian and Sudanian zones, and tested for CCHFV infection. A total of 3632 animals were examined and 35.3% (95% CI: 33.8–36.9) found tick‐infested.

Isolation of an English uukuvirus (family Bunyaviridae) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Hygiene, 1984
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 ...

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
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.
