Viral skin diseases in odontocete cetaceans: gross, histopathological, and molecular characterization of selected pathogens

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Fifty-five skin lesions from 31 stranded cetaceans along the Canary coasts (2011–2021) were submitted to macroscopic, histological, and molecular analyses to confirm infection by cetacean poxvirus, herpesvirus and cetacean morbillivirus.

Assessing Monkeypox Virus Prevalence in Small Mammals at the Human–Animal Interface in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Viruses, 2017
During 2012, 2013 and 2015, we collected small mammals within 25 km of the town of Boende in Tshuapa Province, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The prevalence of monkeypox virus (MPXV) in this area is unknown; however, cases of human infection were ...

Salt Treatment Confers Protection Against Acute Carp Edema Virus Reinfection While Promoting Viral Persistence

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carp edema virus (CEV) infects the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and causes the lethal koi sleepy disease (KSD). Signs of KSD include respiratory, detoxification, and osmoregulatory difficulties. Salt treatment re‐equilibrates blood sodium levels and can save the fish. However, it is unclear whether these fish are immunized, remain chronically

Poxvirus DNA Replication [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2013
Poxviruses are large, enveloped viruses that replicate in the cytoplasm and encode proteins for DNA replication and gene expression. Hairpin ends link the two strands of the linear, double-stranded DNA genome. Viral proteins involved in DNA synthesis include a 117-kDa polymerase, a helicase-primase, a uracil DNA glycosylase, a processivity factor, a ...

A Review of Nonsteroidal Anti‐Inflammatory Drugs for Food‐Producing Animals With a Focus on Potential Applications for Farmed Finfish

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In finfish aquaculture, there are several inflammatory diseases impacting productivity and animal welfare, however there are limited options available to veterinarians to treat inflammation and pain in fish. Nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in terrestrial animals raised for human consumption to treat a range of ...

Conserved Oligomeric Golgi (COG) Complex Proteins Facilitate Orthopoxvirus Entry, Fusion and Spread

Viruses, 2020
Although orthopoxviruses (OPXV) are known to encode a majority of the genes required for replication in host cells, genome-wide genetic screens have revealed that several host pathways are indispensable for OPXV infection.
