Novel Alpha‐, Beta‐, and Gammaherpesviruses in Neotropical Carnivores of Brazil

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The knowledge regarding infectious agents affecting wildlife is crucial for species’ conservation. We hypothesized that herpesviruses are present in wild Neotropical carnivores. Herein, we used DNA polymerase and glycoprotein B broad‐spectrum PCRs to molecularly survey the presence of herpesviruses in spleen and/or lung samples of 53 wild Neotropical ...

Occurrence of Typical Domestic Animal Viruses in Wild Carnivorans: An Emerging Threat to the Conservation of Endangered Species

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Wild species are susceptible to several typical domestic animal pathogens, and the increasingly close contact between these groups is a predictive factor for disease exposure. Some viruses are important and old‐known, and others are emerging or reemerging for domestic carnivorans and have been identified as threats to the conservation of wild mammals ...

Bats, Primates, and the Evolutionary Origins and Diversification of Mammalian Gammaherpesviruses

mBio, 2016
Gammaherpesviruses (γHVs) are generally considered host specific and to have codiverged with their hosts over millions of years. This tenet is challenged here by broad-scale phylogenetic analysis of two viral genes using the largest sample of mammalian ...

Identification of Novel Betaherpesviruses in Iberian Bats Reveals Parallel Evolution.

PLoS ONE, 2016
A thorough search for bat herpesviruses was carried out in oropharyngeal samples taken from most of the bat species present in the Iberian Peninsula from the Vespertilionidae, Miniopteridae, Molossidae and Rhinolophidae families, in addition to a colony ...

A viral circular RNA in Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus modulates viral and host gene expression during latent and lytic replication [PDF]

Exploration of Targeted Anti-tumor Therapy
Aim: Circular RNA (circRNA) is a class of noncoding, single-stranded RNA generated by backsplicing, a process where the 5’ and 3’ ends of an RNA are covalently joined. Virally encoded circRNAs have been identified in several members of Gammaherpesvirinae,

Role of human herpesvirus homologs of infected cell protein 27 (ICP27) in the biogenesis, processing, and maturation of mRNAs

mBio
Herpesviruses are enveloped viruses with large double-stranded DNA genomes that are highly prevalent in the human population and elicit numerous types of clinical manifestations, from mild to severe.

Characterization of the Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus terminase complex component ORF29

Microbiology Spectrum
Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) belongs to the Gammaherpesvirinae subfamily. During the lytic phase of herpesviruses, viral capsids form in the host cell nucleus, and the replicated viral genome is packaged into these capsids.

Serological Detection of Ovine Gammaherpesvirus 2 Antibodies in Dairy Farms from Southern Brazil

Microorganisms
Sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever (SA-MCF) is a severe lymphoproliferative vascular disease of cattle that is caused by ovine gammaherpesvirus 2 (OvGHV2), which is a Macavirus within the Gammaherpesvirinae subfamily.
