Molecular Diversity of Partial-Length Genomic Segment 2 of Human Picobirnavirus

Intervirology, 2003
<i>Objectives:</i> This study was carried out in order to evaluate the efficacy of the recently developed picobirnavirus (PBV) sets of primers and to establish the phylogenetic relationships of Argentine strains with PBV strains isolated in China and the USA. <i>Methods:</i> Thirteen fecal specimens tested as positive for PBV by

Occurrence of avian reovirus and picobirnavirus in wild birds from an environmental protection area in the Brazilian Amazon [PDF]

Acta Amazonica
Wild birds have great prominence in the transmission of diseases to humans, mainly due to their ease of access to human populations, raising concerns about the potential impact of that proximity on public health.

The picobirnavirus crystal structure provides functional insights into virion assembly and cell entry [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 2009
Double-stranded (ds) RNA virus particles are organized around a central icosahedral core capsid made of 120 identical subunits. This core capsid is unable to invade cells from outside, and animal dsRNA viruses have acquired surrounding capsid layers that are used to deliver a transcriptionally active core particle across the membrane during cell entry.

Genogroup I picobirnavirus in diarrhoeic foals: Can the horse serve as a natural reservoir for human infection?

Veterinary Research, 2011
Picobirnaviruses (PBV) are small, non-enveloped viruses with a bisegmented double-stranded RNA genome. In this study a PBV strain, PBV/Horse/India/BG-Eq-3/2010, was identified in the faeces of a 10 month old weaned female foal with diarrhoea in January ...

Re-emergence of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus in a piglet-producing farm in northwestern Germany in 2019

BMC Veterinary Research, 2020
Background Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a viral enteric disease of pigs. It affects all age classes of animals but lethality is mainly seen in suckling piglets.

High detection rate and genetic diversity of picobirnavirus in a sheep flock in Brazil

Virus Research, 2018
This study reports the detection by RT-PCR and molecular characterization of partial RdRp gene of picobirnavirus (PBV) dsRNA in fecal samples (n = 100) from a meat sheep flock in southern Brazil. The analysis of the results allowed the identification of two important characteristics of PBV infection. The first was the high frequency of infection in the

Simultaneous identification of DNA and RNA viruses present in pig faeces using process-controlled deep sequencing.

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundAnimal faeces comprise a community of many different microorganisms including bacteria and viruses. Only scarce information is available about the diversity of viruses present in the faeces of pigs.

Cloning of Human Picobirnavirus Genomic Segments and Development of an RT-PCR Detection Assay

Virology, 2000
Nearly full-length genomic segments 2 and a partial-length genomic segment 1 of human picobirnavirus were cloned and sequenced. The clones were derived from viruses obtained from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients in Atlanta, Georgia (strains 3-GA-91 and 4-GA-91) and a nonHIV-infected person from China (strain 1-CHN-97).

Molecular detection of human enteric viruses circulating among children with acute gastroenteritis in Valencia, Venezuela, before rotavirus vaccine implementation

Gut Pathogens, 2018
Background The role of rotavirus as main etiologic agent of diarrhea has been well documented worldwide, including in Venezuela. However, information about the prevalence of gastrointestinal viruses such as calicivirus, adenovirus and astrovirus is ...

Gut Virome Analysis of Cameroonians Reveals High Diversity of Enteric Viruses, Including Potential Interspecies Transmitted Viruses

mSphere, 2019
Diarrhea remains one of the most common causes of deaths in children. A limited number of studies have investigated the prevalence of enteric pathogens in Cameroon, and as in many other African countries, the cause of many diarrheal episodes remains ...
