Identification of host factors for Rift Valley Fever Phlebovirus [PDF]

Viruses, 2023
Rift Valley fever phlebovirus (RVFV) is a zoonotic pathogen that causes Rift Valley fever (RVF) in livestock and humans. Currently, there is no licensed human vaccine or antiviral drug to control RVF. Although multiple species of animals and humans are vulnerable to RVFV infection, host factors affecting susceptibility are not well understood.

Metatranscriptomic Analysis Uncovers RNA Virus Diversity in Ticks From the China-Russia-North Korea Border Region. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
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,

Thirteen Years of Phleboviruses Circulation in Lombardy, a Northern Italy Region

Viruses, 2021
Phleboviruses transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies are endemic in the Mediterranean basin. Toscana phlebovirus (TOSV), Sicilian phlebovirus (SFSV), and Naples phlebovirus (SFNV) are responsible of summer fever, with well-known pathogenic potential for ...

Novel Echarate Virus Variant Isolated from Patient with Febrile Illness, Chanchamayo, Peru

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023
A new phlebovirus variant was isolated from an acute febrile patient in Chanchamayo, Peru. Genome characterization and p-distance analyses based on complete open reading frames revealed that the virus is probably a natural reassortant of the Echarate ...

Hunter Island Group Phlebovirus in Ticks, Australia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
To the Editor: A recent article described the isolation and subsequent analysis of a tickborne phlebovirus: Hunter Island Group virus (HIGV), associated with an albatross disease event that occurred in 2002 on Albatross Island, 6 kilometers off the northwest coast of Tasmania, Australia (1).

Distribution of Mukawa virus (Phlebovirus mukawaense) in Russia. [PDF]

Virol J
Phleboviruses, a diverse group within the Phenuiviridae family, include mosquito-, tick-, and sandfly-borne viruses, several of which are pathogenic to humans and animals. Among them, Phlebovirus mukawaense (formerly Mukawa virus, MKWV), a tick-associated member of the Phlebovirus genus, exhibits features, indicative of an emerging arbovirus with ...

A novel phlebovirus in Albanian sandflies [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2011
Sandflies were collected in two districts of Albania and tested for a probable phlebovirus infection. A novel phlebovirus, provisionally named Adria virus, was detected in 2/12 pools, both trapped in a region close to the Adriatic Sea. The new virus is genetically closer (similarity 77.1% at nucleotide level) to Arbia virus, which belongs to the ...

Ticks From Mink and Their Associated Microorganisms in Spain. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Wildlife is an important source of emerging zoonotic agents, including tick‐borne ones. Wild carnivores such as mink are commonly parasitized by ticks, which are vectors and reservoirs of zoonotic diseases. Besides the importance of these arthropods as potential sources of diseases in mink, and the role of these mammals as reservoirs of infectious ...

The Phlebovirus Ribonucleoprotein: An Overview

In negative strand RNA viruses, ribonucleoproteins, not naked RNA, constitute the template used by the large protein endowed with polymerase activity for replicating and transcribing the viral genome. Here we give an overview of the structures and functions of the ribonucleoprotein from phleboviruses.
