TL;DR: Sequences of 1,677 nucleotides from the P62 gene of 2 virus isolates indicated that they represent a subtype ID lineage that is distinct from all others characterized previously, and are unrelated to epizootic VEE emergence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chikungunya virus as cause of febrile illness outbreak, Chiapas, Mexico, 2014
Tiffany F. Kautz,Esteban E. Díaz-González,Jesse H. Erasmus,Iliana R. Malo-García,Rose M. Langsjoen,Edward I Patterson,Dawn I. Auguste,Naomi L. Forrester,Rosa M. Sanchez-Casas,Mauricio Hernández-Ávila,Celia Alpuche-Aranda,Scott C. Weaver,Ildefonso Fernández-Salas +12 more
TL;DR: Of 119 serum samples collected in 2014 from febrile patients in southern Mexico, 79% were positive for CHIKV or IgM against Chikungunya virus, and Sequencing results confirmed CHikV strains closely related to Caribbean isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterization of a novel Rickettsia species from Ixodes scapularis in Texas.
TL;DR: A novel Rickettsia species of undetermined pathogenicity was detected in Ixodes scapularis and DNA sequencing showed the highest nucleotide sequence similarities with R. australis for the 17 kDa gene, R. helvetica for gltA, and R. montana for rompA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trocara virus: a newly recognized Alphavirus (Togaviridae) isolated from mosquitoes in the Amazon Basin.
A. P A Travassos da Rosa,M. J. Turell,Douglas M. Watts,Ann M. Powers,P. F C Vasconcelos,J. W. Jones,T. A. Klein,D. J. Dohm,Robert E. Shope,Nicolas Dégallier,Vsevolod L. Popov,K. L. Russell,Scott C. Weaver,Hilda Guzman,C. Calampa,Aaron C. Brault,A. P. Lemon,Robert B. Tesh +17 more
TL;DR: Results of these studies indicate that Trocara virus is the first member of a newly discovered antigenic complex within the family Togaviridae genus Alphavirus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleocapsid mutations in SARS-CoV-2 augment replication and pathogenesis
Bryan A. Johnson,Yiyang Zhou,Kumari G. Lokugamage,Michelle N Vu,Nathen E. Bopp,Patricia A. Crocquet-Valdes,Birte Kalveram,Craig Schindewolf,Yang Liu,Dionna Scharton,Jessica A. Plante,Xuping Xie,Patricia V. Aguilar,Scott C. Weaver,Pei Yong Shi,David H. Walker,Andrew Routh,Kenneth S. Plante,Vineet D. Menachery +18 more
TL;DR: Recreating a mutation found in the alpha and omicron variants in an early pandemic (WA-1) background is found that the R203K+G204R mutation is sufficient to enhance replication, fitness, and pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2.
