Rodent herpesvirus Peru encodes a secreted chemokine decoy receptor [PDF]
, 2013 Viruses have long been studied not only for their pathology and associated disease but also as model systems for understanding cellular and immunological processes. Rodent herpesvirus Peru (RHVP) is a recently characterized rhadinovirus related to murine

ORFV: A Novel Oncolytic and Immune Stimulating Parapoxvirus Therapeutic
Molecular Therapy, 2012 Replicating viruses for the treatment of cancer have a number of advantages over traditional therapeutic modalities. They are highly targeted, self-amplifying, and have the added potential to act as both gene-therapy delivery vehicles and oncolytic agents.

Comparative and retrospective molecular analysis of Parapoxvirus (PPV) isolates
Virus Research, 2014 Species members of the genus Parapoxvirus (PPV) within the family Poxviridae cause contagious pustular dermatitis in small ruminants (Orf virus, ORFV) and mostly mild localized inflammation in cattle (bovine papular stomatitis virus, BPSV and pseudocowpox virus, PCPV).

Emerging infectious disease implications of invasive mammalian species : the greater white-toothed shrew (Crocidura russula) is associated with a novel serovar of pathogenic Leptospira in Ireland [PDF]
, 2016 The greater white-toothed shrew (Crocidura russula) is an invasive mammalian species that was first recorded in Ireland in 2007. It currently occupies an area of approximately 7,600 km2 on the island. C. russula is normally distributed in Northern Africa

Polarised VEGFA Signalling at Vascular Blood–Neural Barriers [PDF]
, 2018 At blood–neural barriers, endothelial VEGFA signalling is highly polarised, with entirely different responses being triggered by luminal or abluminal stimulation. These recent findings were made in a field which is still in its mechanistic infancy. For a

Feast of Sacrifice and Orf, Milan, Italy, 2015–2018
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019 Orf (ecthyma contagiosum) is an infection of the skin caused by a DNA virus belonging to the genus Parapoxvirus. We recently observed 7 cases of orf in Muslim men living in the metropolitan area of Milan, Italy, who acquired the infection after the Feast

Characterization of immunostimulatory components of orf virus (parapoxvirus ovis)
Journal of General Virology, 2011 Inactivated orf virus (ORFV, parapoxvirus ovis) induces antiviral activity in animal models of acute and chronic viral infections and exerts strong effects on human immune cells. ORFV activates antigen presenting cells (APC) via CD14 and, probably, Toll-like receptor signalling, and triggers the release of IFN-γ that has been identified as the key ...

Rare human skin infection with Corynebacterium ulcerans: transmission by a domestic cat [PDF]
, 2018 Corynebacterium ulcerans is mainly known for its ability to cause animal infections. Some strains of C. ulcerans produce diphtheria toxin, which can cause life-threatening cardiopathies and neuropathies in humans. Human cutaneous C. ulcerans infection is
