The nonstructural p17 protein of a fusogenic bat-borne reovirus regulates viral replication in virus species- and host-specific manners
PLoS Pathogens, 2022 Nelson Bay orthoreovirus (NBV), a member of the family Reoviridae, genus Orthoreovirus, is a bat-borne virus that causes respiratory diseases in humans.Ryotaro Nouda, Takahiro Kawagishi, Yuta Kanai, Masayuki Shimojima, Masayuki Saijo, Yoshiharu Matsuura, Takeshi Kobayashi +6 moredoaj Surveillance on African Horse Sickness Virus in China’s Southern Border Regions
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.African horse sickness (AHS) is a vector‐borne and noncontagious disease caused by African horse sickness virus (AHSV) that poses a severe threat to the global equine industry. As a country historically free from AHS, China faces elevated risks due to recent outbreaks in Southeast Asia in 2020 and its ecological suitability of its border regions for ...Feng Zhang, Shujuan Wang, Tiangang Xu, Weijie Ren, Yanli Zou, Yingchao Ren, Yonggang Zhao, Linlin Fang, Shuang Liu, Bangquan Zeng, Min Zheng, Ju Qin, Huanyun Zhao, Qingan Zhou, Jianhao Wu, Amuti Nuermaimaiti, Ronggui Chen, Nan Wang, Jinming Li, Zhicheng Zhang, Zhiliang Wang, Jingyue Bao, Nan-hua Chen +22 morewiley +1 more sourceSero-Epidemiology of Rotavirus Gastroenteritis in Children in Ilorin, Kwara State

In this study, we aimed to ascertain the occurrence of childhood gastroenteritis caused by Rotavirus among infants and young children who are younger than 5 years of age in Ilorin, Kwara State and determined the risk factors posing the challenges to be susceptible to diarrhea associated with rotavirus in Ilorin, Kwara State. Diarrhea stool samples were collected from children who passed watery stools, who met predetermined inclusion criteria and who presented at the study hospitals Viz: General Hospital and Specialist Hospital Alagbado and Children Specialist Hospital, Igboro. All within Kwara State either on outpatient care basis or those admitted into the pediatric ward. Sample of stool habouring rotavirus antigens was detected by commercial Rotavirus IgM ELISA kit to target recent infections among the participants. Out of three hundred (300) stool samples that were collected from children suffering from acute diarrhea, a total number of eighty-six (86) were found to be Rotavirus positive (28.7 %) and two hundred and fourteen (214) were found to be negative (71.3%). The age group 3-5 years, showed the highest prevalence rate which is in line with some research findings that attribute this age range with certain feeding habits and cultural practices, predisposing them to gastroenteritis. It is therefore advised that parents and guardian alike should ensure that special care is given to children, with emphasis on their feeding habits and sanitation. Keywords: Rotavirus, gastroenteritis, children, diarrhea. INTRODUCTION Rotavirus is a non-enveloped double stranded RNA viruses belonging to Reoviridae, Rotavirus is one of them, other members of this family include orthoreoviruses, obiviruses, aquareoviruses etc. (Mertens 2005). Infants and young children are often affected by diarrhea caused by rotavirus infections. There are about 128,500 deaths associated with Rotavirus worldwide each year, with 70 % of cases occurring in Sub-Saharan Africa (Jonesteller et al., 2017). Approximately 258 million gastroenteritis cases are caused b +2 moredoaj Bluetongue Virus Surveillance in Yunnan, China, 2025: Isolation of Multiple Serotypes From Culicoides and Seasonal Seroepidemiology in Cattle
