Replication of boid inclusion body disease-associated arenaviruses is temperature sensitive in both boid and mammalian cells.
UNLABELLED Boid inclusion body disease (BIDB) is a fatal disease of boid snakes, the etiology of which has only recently been revealed following the identification of several novel arenaviruses in diseased snakes. BIBD-associated arenaviruses (BIBDAV) are genetically divergent from the classical Old and New World arenaviruses and also differ substantially from each other. Even though there is c...
متن کاملArenavirus Coinfections Are Common in Snakes with Boid Inclusion Body Disease.
Recently, novel arenaviruses were found in snakes with boid inclusion body disease (BIBD); these form the new genus Reptarenavirus within the family Arenaviridae. We used next-generation sequencing and de novo sequence assembly to investigate reptarenavirus isolates from our previous study. Four of the six isolates and all of the samples from snakes with BIBD contained at least two reptarenavir...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Boid Inclusion Body Disease: Challenges and Future Prospects
Boid inclusion body disease is one of the fatal diseases of captive snakes worldwide. Until recently, cases were diagnosed by the demonstration of eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies under light microscopy. Unfortunately, inclusion bodies are also found in many viral infections. The specific etiologic agent of this disease remained a mystery for over 3 decades. However recently, high...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of two closely related unclassifiable endogenous retroviruses in pythons (Python molurus and Python curtus).
Boid inclusion body disease (BIBD) is a fatal disorder of boid snakes that is suspected to be caused by a retrovirus. In order to identify this agent, leukocyte cultures (established from Python molurus specimens with symptoms of BIBD or kept together with such diseased animals) were assessed for reverse transcriptase (RT) activity. Virus from cultures exhibiting high RT activity was banded on ...
متن کاملPrevalence of viral infections in captive collections of boid snakes in Germany.
Data on viral infections in apparently healthy snake collections in Germany were obtained with respect to husbandry conditions and health status. Samples from 100 boid snakes (from 14 collections) were examined microbiologically and for the presence of paramyxoviruses (PMVs) using RT-PCR. Blood was tested for the presence of antibodies against PMV, adenovirus and reovirus and for inclusion bodi...
