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

open access: yesAdvances 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 ...

Genetic diversity and phylogeography of Jeju Orthohantavirus (Hantaviridae) in the Republic of Korea

open access: yesVirology, 2020
Orthohantaviruses are negative-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses harbored by rodents, shrews, moles, and bats. Of the shrew-borne orthohantaviruses in the Republic of Korea (ROK), Jeju orthohantavirus (Jeju virus, JJUV) was found on Jeju Island. This small-scale epidemiologic survey investigated the geographic distribution and molecular phylogeny of ...

Wildlife Pathogens and Zoonotic Disease Risk Assessment in Vietnam: A Wildlife Trade Hotspot

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Vietnam is a wildlife trade hotspot presenting multiple high‐risk interfaces for pathogen spillover from wildlife to humans. However, the zoonotic disease risk remains poorly characterized in the country and needs to be assessed to better inform policy dialog and legislative reforms.

Virus- and cell type-specific effects in orthohantavirus infection

open access: yesVirus Research, 2019
Orthohantaviruses Hantaan (HTNV) and Puumala (PUUV) virus cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), that is characterized by acute renal failure with often massive proteinuria and by morphological changes of the tubular and glomerular apparatus. Orthohantaviral N protein is found in renal cells and plays a key role in replication.

Evaluation of a Luminex‐Based Multiplex Immunoassay of Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses in Senegal

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Given the growing threat posed by viral hemorrhagic fevers, the development of surveillance tools is crucial to provide accurate and rapid solutions. Public health response involves risk assessment as well as effective and sustainable surveillance to ensure downstream communication and preparedness. A serological approach that offers high precision and

Interactions Between Hantavirus Nucleoprotein and Glycoproteins: A Quantitative Fluorescence Microscopy Study

open access: yesViruses
Orthohantaviruses are tri-segmented negative-sense RNA viruses that can cause severe pathologies in humans. Currently, limited information exists on the molecular interactions driving orthohantavirus assembly in infected cells.

Complex History of Codiversification and Host Switching of a Newfound Soricid-Borne Orthohantavirus in North America

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Orthohantaviruses are tightly linked to the ecology and evolutionary history of their mammalian hosts. We hypothesized that in regions with dramatic climate shifts throughout the Quaternary, orthohantavirus diversity and evolution are shaped by dynamic ...

Metatranscriptomic Analysis Uncovers RNA Virus Diversity in Ticks From the China–Russia–North Korea Border Region

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Ticks serve as critical viral vectors, and border regions, acting as convergence zones of complex ecosystems, provide diverse habitats for ticks and their hosts, thereby underscoring the need to investigate the tick‐borne virome composition in such areas. In this study, metatranscriptomic analysis of five tick species, namely Haemaphysalis longicornis,

Serum Concentrations of TIM-3, LAG-3, and PD-1 in Patients with Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome

open access: yesLife
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a rodent-borne disease widespread in Europe and Asia. HFRS is caused by negative-sensed single-stranded RNA orthohantaviruses transmitted to humans through inhaling aerosolized excreta of infected rodents ...

Predicting Landscape Conversion Impact on Small Mammal Occurrence and the Transmission of Parasites in the Atlantic Forest

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Aim Changes in landscape configuration significantly impact ecosystems and the services they provide, including disease regulation for both humans and wildlife. Land use conversion usually favors disturbed‐adapted species, which are often known reservoirs of zoonotic parasites, thereby potentially escalating spillover events (i.e., the ...
