Surveillance of Shrew-Borne Hantaviruses Expands Viral Host Range in Hungary [PDF]

Animals
Since the late 2000s, a growing diversity of distinct hantaviruses has been identified in shrews across Europe. However, knowledge about shrew-borne hantaviruses in Hungary is limited. This study was initiated to investigate the prevalence and host range

Identification and characterization of two putative novel genera of arteriviruses in shrews and rats [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionCertain arteriviruses causing severe diseases in domestic animals, such as porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome viruses, could originate through viral spillover, and simian arteriviruses pose threats to public health through viral ...

Biya River Virus, a Novel Hantavirus of the Eurasian Water Shrew (Neomys fodiens) in Russia [PDF]

Viruses
Hantaviridae (order Bunyavirales) is a family of negative-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses. To date, several genetically distinct hantaviruses have been found in the same species of shrews and moles. In this report, we describe Biya River virus (BIRV),

Molecular Characterization and Function of the Nogo-66 Receptor (NgR1) Gene in the Chinese Tree Shrew

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2023
Background: Nogo-66 receptor (NgR1) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked cell surface receptor with high affinity for Nogo-66. The binding of Nogo-66 to NgR1 plays a key role in inhibiting neurite growth, limiting synaptic plasticity and mediating ...

Comparing the hippocampal miRNA expression profiles of wild and domesticated Chinese tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri chinensis)

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background The domestication of tree shrews represents an important advance in the development of standardized laboratory animals. Little is known regarding the miRNA changes that accompany the transformation of wild tree shrews into domestic tree shrews.

Response of the gut microbiota during the Clostridioides difficile infection in tree shrews mimics those in humans

BMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Clostridioides difficile is a major cause of antibiotic associated diarrhea. Several animal models are used to study C. difficile infection (CDI). The tree shrew has recently been developed as a model of primate processes. C.
