TLDR
In 2011, a group A rotavirus was isolated from the brain of a fox with encephalitis and neurologic signs, detected by rabies surveillance in Italy, which could provide a model for investigating rotvirus neurovirulence.Abstract:
In 2011, a group A rotavirus was isolated from the brain of a fox with encephalitis and neurologic signs, detected by rabies surveillance in Italy. Intracerebral inoculation of fox brain homogenates into mice was fatal. Genome sequencing revealed a heterologous rotavirus of avian origin, which could provide a model for investigating rotavirus neurovirulence.read more

TL;DR: Episodes of disease have continued to occur and to reoccur in previously recovered lofts, with variable virulence reported, the first report of a rotavirus associated with hepatic necrosis in any avian species.

TL;DR: The data indicate that reassortment and intercontinental spread has led to the emergence of novel RVA variants, which may constitute a major threat to animal welfare and health of domestic pigeon populations worldwide.

Group A Rotavirus VP1 Polymerase and VP2 Core Shell Proteins: Intergenotypic Sequence Variation and In Vitro Functional Compatibility.
Courtney L. Steger,Crystal E. Boudreaux,Leslie E. W. LaConte,James B. Pease,Sarah M. McDonald +4 more
TL;DR: This work delineated the relationships and sites of variation for VP1 and VP2 proteins belonging to the known RVA genotypes and correlate intergenotypic sequence diversity with functional VP1-VP2 interaction(s) during dsRNA synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
OUP accepted manuscript
TL;DR: In this paper , the nearly complete genome of an RVA strain from a common shrew (Sorex araneus) was sequenced, which showed high nucleotide sequence similarity to additionally determined partial sequences from common shrew RVAs but only very low identity (below 68 per cent) to RVAs from other animal species and humans.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors revealed the prevalence, molecular epidemiology, and genetic diversity of RVA strains circulating in the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) population in Croatia, where 370 fecal samples from fox carcasses hunted for rabies monitoring were collected.

Cleavage of structural proteins during the assemble of the head of bacterio-phage T4
TL;DR: Using an improved method of gel electrophoresis, many hitherto unknown proteins have been found in bacteriophage T4 and some of these have been identified with specific gene products as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zoonotic aspects of rotaviruses
TL;DR: Genetic heterogeneity in the 11 double stranded RNA segments across different rotavirus strains has provided evidence for frequent intersections between the evolution of human and animal rotaviruses, as a result of multiple, repeated events of interspecies transmission and subsequent adaptation.

TL;DR: It was confirmed that the sequenced amplified products in the NS5 region allowed predictability of flavivirus species by dendrogram, including the New York 99 West Nile strain.

Detection of Canine Distemper Virus Nucleoprotein RNA by Reverse Transcription-PCR Using Serum, Whole Blood, and Cerebrospinal Fluid from Dogs with Distemper
TL;DR: Although the sensitivity of the RT-PCR for detection of CDV is strongly influenced by the location of the selected primers, this nucleic acid detection system represents a highly specific and sensitive method for the antemortem diagnosis of Distemper in dogs, regardless of the form of distemper, humoral immune response, and viral antigen distribution.
