Journal ArticleDOI
Human coronavirus EMC does not require the SARS-coronavirus receptor and maintains broad replicative capability in mammalian cell lines.
Marcel A. Müller,V. Stalin Raj,Doreen Muth,Benjamin Meyer,Stephan Kallies,Saskia L. Smits,Robert Wollny,Theo M. Bestebroer,Sabine Specht,Tasnim Suliman,Katrin Zimmermann,Tabea Binger,Isabella Eckerle,Marco Tschapka,Ali Moh Zaki,Albert D. M. E. Osterhaus,Ron A. M. Fouchier,Bart L. Haagmans,Christian Drosten +18 more
TL;DR: Results show that hCoV-EMC does not need the SARS-CoV receptor to infect human cells, implicating a low barrier against cross-host transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly divergent hepaciviruses from African cattle
Victor M. Corman,Adam Grundhoff,Christine Baechlein,Nicole Fischer,Anatoly P. Gmyl,Robert Wollny,Dickson Dei,Daniel Ritz,Tabea Binger,Ernest Adankwah,Kwadwo Sarfo Marfo,Lawrence Annison,A. P. Annan,Yaw Adu-Sarkodie,Samuel Oppong,Paul Becher,Christian Drosten,Jan Felix Drexler +17 more
TL;DR: African cattle was investigated and previously unknown HVs at high prevalence and viral loads were discovered, suggesting an influence of the human-modified ecology of peridomestic animals on virus diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Type I interferon reaction to viral infection in interferon-competent, immortalized cell lines from the African fruit bat Eidolon helvum
Susanne E. Biesold,Daniel Ritz,Florian Gloza-Rausch,Robert Wollny,Jan Felix Drexler,Victor M. Corman,Elisabeth K. V. Kalko,Elisabeth K. V. Kalko,Samuel Oppong,Christian Drosten,Marcel A. Müller +10 more
TL;DR: These novel IFN-competent cell lines will allow comparative research on zoonotic, bat-borne viruses in order to model mechanisms of viral maintenance and emergence in bat reservoirs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bat Airway Epithelial Cells: A Novel Tool for the Study of Zoonotic Viruses
Isabella Eckerle,Lukas Ehlen,René Kallies,Robert Wollny,Victor M. Corman,Veronika M. Cottontail,Marco Tschapka,Samuel Oppong,Christian Drosten,Marcel A. Müller +9 more
TL;DR: These cells can serve as suitable models for the study of bat-borne viruses and complement cell culture models for virus infection in human airway epithelial cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel Rhabdovirus Isolated from the Straw-Colored Fruit Bat Eidolon helvum, with Signs of Antibodies in Swine and Humans
Tabea Binger,A. P. Annan,Jan Felix Drexler,Marcel A. Müller,René Kallies,Ernest Adankwah,Robert Wollny,Anne Kopp,Hanna Heidemann,Dickson Dei,Festus Courage Agya-Yao,Sandra Junglen,Torsten Feldt,Andreas Kurth,Samuel Oppong,Yaw Adu-Sarkodie,Christian Drosten +16 more
TL;DR: Signs of infection were found in swine and humans, with increased antibody findings in humans who are occupationally exposed to the bat colony, and the data suggest that it is worthwhile to look for diseases caused by the novel virus in humans and livestock.
