Theiler's virus genome is closely related to that of encephalomyocarditis virus, the prototype cardiovirus.
Theiler's virus causes a persistent demyelinating infection of the mouse central nervous system. Our study of the molecular mechanism of persistence led us to sequence 1925 nucleotides located at the 3' end of the viral genome. We observed extensive homologies between this region and the corresponding region of encephalomyocarditis virus, the prototype cardiovirus, and only some homologies with...
متن کاملAvian encephalomyelitis virus is a picornavirus and is most closely related to hepatitis A virus.
The complete RNA genome of avian encephalomyelitis virus (AEV) has been molecularly cloned and sequenced. This revealed AEV to be a member of the Picornaviridae and consequently it is the first avian picornavirus for which the genome has been sequenced. Excluding the poly(A) tail the genome comprises 7032 nucleotides, which is shorter than that of any mammalian picornavirus sequenced to date. A...
متن کاملThe encephalomyocarditis virus
The encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) is a small non-enveloped single-strand RNA virus, the causative agent of not only myocarditis and encephalitis, but also neurological diseases, reproductive disorders and diabetes in many mammalian species. EMCV pathogenesis appears to be viral strain- and host-specific, and a better understanding of EMCV virulence factors is increasingly required. Indeed, ...
متن کاملMx1 sensitivity: Batken virus is an orthomyxovirus closely related to Dhori virus.
Batken virus, isolated from mosquitoes and ticks, was tentatively classified as a member of the family Bunyaviridae. Here we show that Batken virus is inhibited by the interferon-induced Mx1 protein of mice which selectively blocks the growth of orthomyxoviruses, including Thogoto and Dhori viruses. Furthermore, we show that Batken virus multiplication is characterized by accumulation of viral ...
