The Transcriptional Response of Drosophila melanogaster to Infection with the Sigma Virus (Rhabdoviridae) [PDF]
Bacterial and fungal infections induce a potent immune response in Drosophila melanogaster, but it is unclear whether viral infections induce an antiviral immune response. Using microarrays, we examined the changes in gene expression in Drosophila that occur in response to infection with the sigma virus, a negative-stranded RNA virus (Rhabdoviridae ...

Resistance to Rhabdoviridae Infection and Subversion of Antiviral Responses [PDF]
Interferon (IFN) treatment induces the expression of hundreds of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). However, only a selection of their products have been demonstrated to be responsible for the inhibition of rhabdovirus replication in cultured cells; and only a few have been shown to play a role in mediating the antiviral response in vivo using gene knockout ...

A STUDY OF THE ULTRASTRUCTURE OF THE SURFACE OF THE TRANSPLANTABLE LINE VERO CELLS INFECTED WITH THE RABIES VIRUS (RABV, LISSAVIRUS, RHABDOVIRIDAE) [PDF]
Characteristics of the effect of attenuated rabies virus strain «Moscow 3253» on morphological parameters of transplantable line Vero cells were studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Methods based on phase contrast microscopy and immunofluorescence were used to confirm the specificity of interaction and to identify the infectious activity of the ...

Presence, Location and Conservation of Putative G-Quadruplex Forming Sequences in Arboviruses Infecting Humans [PDF]
Guanine quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical nucleic acid structures formed by guanine (G)-rich tracts that assemble into a core of stacked planar tetrads.

Early and Late Pathogenic Events of Newborn Mice Encephalitis Experimentally Induced by Itacaiunas and Curionópolis Bracorhabdoviruses Infection [PDF]
In previous reports we proposed a new genus for Rhabdoviridae and described neurotropic preference and gross neuropathology in newborn albino Swiss mice after Curionopolis and Itacaiunas infections.

Screening red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) for possible viral causes of encephalitis [PDF]
Background: Next to various known infectious and non-infectious causes, the aetiology of non-suppurative encephalitis in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) often remains unclear.

Malpais spring virus is a new species in the genus vesiculovirus [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Malpais Spring virus (MSPV) is a mosquito-borne rhabdovirus that infects a variety of wild and feral ungulates in New Mexico, including horses and deer. Although, initial serologic tests and electron microscopy at the time of isolation nearly

Arboviruses and the challenge to establish systemic and persistent infections in competent mosquito vectors : the interaction with the RNAi mechanism [PDF]
Arboviruses are capable to establish long-term persistent infections in mosquitoes that do not affect significantly the physiology of the insect vectors. Arbovirus infections are controlled by the RNAi machinery via the production of viral siRNAs and the

Several new viruses have emerged during farming of salmonids in the North Atlantic causing large losses to the industry. Still the blood feeding copepod parasite, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, remains the major challenge for the industry. Histological examinations of this parasite have revealed the presence of several virus-like particles including some ...

Antigenic and genetic characterization of a divergent African virus, Ikoma lyssavirus [PDF]
In 2009, a novel lyssavirus (subsequently named Ikoma lyssavirus, IKOV) was detected in the brain of an African civet (Civettictis civetta) with clinical rabies in the Serengeti National Park of Tanzania.
