Journal ArticleDOI

Nieuwenhuijse,Robert Jan Molenaar,Emmanuelle Munger,Richard Molenkamp,Arco N. van der Spek,Paulien Tolsma,Ariene Rietveld,Miranda Brouwer,Noortje Bouwmeester-Vincken,Frank Harders,Renate Hakze-van der Honing,Marjolein C.A.

TL;DR: The SARS-CoV-2 virus was initially introduced by humans and has since evolved, most likely reflecting widespread circulation among mink in the beginning of the infection period, several weeks before detection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consensus proposals for classification of the family Hepeviridae
D B Smith,Peter Simmonds,Shahid Jameel,Suzanne U. Emerson,Tim J. Harrison,Xiang-Jin Meng,Hiroaki Okamoto,Wim H.M. van der Poel,Michael A. Purdy +8 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a taxonomic scheme in which the family Hepeviridae is divided into the genera Orthohepevirus (all mammalian and avian hepatitis E virus (HEV) isolates) and PiscihepeVirus (cutthroat trout virus), and proposals are made for the designation of genotypes within the human and rat HEVs.
Journal ArticleDOI
SARS-CoV-2 infection in farmed minks, the Netherlands, April and May 2020.
Nadia Oreshkova,Robert Jan Molenaar,Sandra Vreman,Frank Harders,Bas B. Oude Munnink,Renate Hakze-van der Honing,Nora M. Gerhards,Paulien Tolsma,Ruth Bouwstra,Reina S. Sikkema,Mirriam G.J.

TL;DR: Variations in mink-derived viral genomes showed between-mink transmission and no infection link between the farms, and inhalable dust contained viral RNA, indicating possible exposure of workers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proposed reference sequences for hepatitis E virus subtypes
B. Douglas Smith,Peter Simmonds,Jacques Izopet,Edmilson Ferreira de Oliveira-Filho,Rainer G. Ulrich,Reimar Johne,Matthias Koenig,Shahid Jameel,Tim J. Harrison,Xiang-Jin Meng,Hiroaki Okamoto,Wim H.M. van der Poel,Michael A. Purdy +12 more
TL;DR: A table of proposed complete genome reference sequences for each hepatitis E virus subtype is provided to facilitate communication between researchers and help clarify the epidemiology of this important human pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Epidemiology of Human Enteric Caliciviruses in The Netherlands
Marion Koopmans,Jan Vinjé,Matty de Wit,Imke Leenen,Wim H.M. van der Poel,Yvonne T H P van Duynhoven +5 more
TL;DR: A tentative genotyping scheme was developed, which was used to differentiate the viruses detected in a set of epidemiological studies, and found that related NLVs are highly prevalent in calves in The Netherlands, raising questions about their potential for zoonotic transmission.
