The fecal viral flora of wild rodents.

PLoS Pathogens, 2011
The frequent interactions of rodents with humans make them a common source of zoonotic infections. To obtain an initial unbiased measure of the viral diversity in the enteric tract of wild rodents we sequenced partially purified, randomly amplified viral

Co-infecting viruses of species Bovine rhinitis B virus (Picornaviridae) and Bovine nidovirus 1 (Tobaniviridae) identified for the first time from a post-mortem respiratory sample of a sheep (Ovis aries) in Hungary

Infection, Genetics and Evolution
In this study, a picornavirus and a nidovirus were identified from a single available nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) sample of a freshly deceased sheep, as the only vertebrate viruses found with viral metagenomics and next-generation sequencing methods. The sample was originated from a mixed feedlot farm in Hungary where sheep and cattle were held together ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Strategies for inducing diabetes in laboratory animals: Advances from chemical, surgical, immunologic, dietary, and genetic approaches

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the principal experimental approaches used to induce diabetes in animal models. Strategies include chemical agents (streptozotocin, alloxan, dithizone, gold thioglucose), dietary interventions (high‐fat and high‐sugar diets), surgical methods (total or partial pancreatectomy), genetic models (db/db, ob/ob, Goto‐Kakizaki [GK ...

The genomic and epidemiological investigations of enteric viruses of domestic caprine (Capra hircus) revealed the presence of multiple novel viruses related to known strains of humans and ruminant livestock species

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
In this study, the enteric virome of diarrheic caprine was investigated using next-generation sequencing, reverse transcription PCR methods, and bioinformatics analyses.

RNA viral protein structure database: A comprehensive and user‐friendly web database for RNA viral protein structures

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Given the central role of protein structures in RNA virus biology, the RNA viral protein structure database (RVPSD, https://virus.9itsg.net) integrates taxonomic classification, viral nucleotide and protein sequences, functional annotations, and predicted three‐dimensional protein structures.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
