Unveiling Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) RNA‐ and DNA‐Based Virome in Western Kenya: Insights From Metatranscriptomic and Metagenomic Signatures

Advances in Virology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) is Kenya’s second most important agricultural product after maize, serving as a vital source of protein for many rural families in Western Kenya. However, viral diseases caused by RNA and DNA viruses greatly impair bean productivity, often leading to yield losses of up to 100%, thus contributing to food insecurity ...

Generic amplification and next generation sequencing reveal Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus AP92-like strain and distinct tick phleboviruses in Anatolia, Turkey

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Ticks are involved with the transmission of several viruses with significant health impact. As incidences of tick-borne viral infections are rising, several novel and divergent tick- associated viruses have recently been documented to exist ...

Transcriptome Markers of Viral Persistence in Naturally-Infected Andes Virus (Bunyaviridae) Seropositive Long-Tailed Pygmy Rice Rats

PLOS ONE, 2015
Long-tailed pygmy rice rats (Oligoryzomys longicaudatus) are principal reservoir hosts of Andes virus (ANDV) (Bunyaviridae), which causes most hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome cases in the Americas. To develop tools for the study of the ANDV-host interactions, we used RNA-Seq to generate a de novo transcriptome assembly.

Establishment of an Early Prediction Model for Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome‐Associated Encephalitis

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease primarily transmitted by ticks. The development of encephalitis in SFTS patients significantly increases the risk of adverse outcomes. However, the understanding of SFTS‐associated encephalitis (SFTSAE) is still limited. This study aimed to identify

Sindbis virus interferes with dengue 4 virus replication and its potential transmission by Aedes albopictus

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Mosquitoes transmit a number of arboviruses associated with disease outbreaks in humans and other animals. The majority of medically important arboviruses belong to three families: Togaviridae, Flaviviridae and Bunyaviridae. Several members of

Epidemiological study of Rift Valley fever virus in Kigoma, Tanzania

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2014
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is an acute, zoonotic viral disease caused by a  Phlebovirus, which belongs to the Bunyaviridae family. Among livestock, outbreaks of the disease are economically devastating. They are often characterised by large, sweeping

In silico design and evaluation of a multiepitope vaccine targeting the nucleoprotein of Puumala orthohantavirus

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 92, Issue 10, Page 1161-1176, October 2024.
Abstract The Puumala orthohantavirus is present in the body of the bank vole (Myodes glareolus). Humans infected with this virus may develop hemorrhagic fever accompanying renal syndrome. In addition, the infection may further lead to the failure of an immune system completely.

Mapping of transcription termination within the S segment of SFTS phlebovirus facilitated the generation of NSs-deletant viruses [PDF]

, 2017
SFTS phlebovirus (severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus; SFTSV) is an emerging tick-borne bunyavirus that was first reported in China in 2009. Here we report the generation of a recombinant SFTSV (rHB29NSsKO) that cannot express the viral non-

Control strategies for emerging infectious diseases: Crimean‐Congo hemorrhagic fever management

Health Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Background and Aims Crimean‐Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a significant public health concern transmitted by ticks. This study seeks to thoroughly grasp the epidemiology and transmission patterns of CCHF, which is caused by the CCHF virus (CCHFV), a member of the Nairovirus genus in the Bunyaviridae family.
