Bunyaviral Diseases of Animals

چکیده
A part of the large complex group of arboviruses is the Bunyaviridae family with over 300 members distributed over five genera. Two of the genera of veterinary importance in the family are Nairovirus, which contains the ruminant pathogen Nairobi sheep disease (NSD) virus, and the largest genus, Orthobunyavirus, which is subdivided into 48 serogroups. This genus contains only a few viruses that are significant pathogens of animals, among them Cache Valley virus (CVV) and Akabane virus. Although they have been placed in different antigenic groups, these two viruses have a tropism for fetal tissues and are responsible for embryonic and fetal losses and multiple congenital deformities in domestic ruminants. Members of the Nairovirus and Orthobunyavirus genera are single-stranded, enveloped spherical or pleomorphic RNA viruses, 80–110 nm in diameter. A third member of the Bunyaviridae family that is of veterinary importance is Rift Valley fever, a member of the Phlebovirus genus, and is discussed in Chapter 2.1.14.

متن کاملInfections by viruses of the families Bunyaviridae and Filoviridae.
Rift Valley fever is the most important bunyaviral disease of animals in Africa. The virus, transmitted by mosquitoes, causes abortions and mortality in young animals in addition to haemorrhagic fevers in humans. Although vaccines against this virus are available, the uses of these vaccines are limited because of deleterious effects or incomplete protection, justifying further studies to improv...
متن کاملInhibition of translation and induction of apoptosis by Bunyaviral nonstructural proteins bearing sequence similarity to reaper.
Members of the California serogroup of bunyaviruses (family Bunyaviridae) are the leading cause of pediatric viral encephalitis in North America. Significant cell death is observed as part of the infection pathology. We now report that a Bunyaviral nonstructural protein termed NSs shows sequence similarity to Reaper, a proapoptotic protein from Drosophila. Although NSs proteins lack the Reaper ...

Background: Some animal infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, hydatidosis, and fascioliasis cause public health concerns and also significant economic losses. The goal of this study was to assess the rate of fascioliasis, hydatidosis, and tuberculosis in domestic animals during post-mortem inspection at Jijel slaughterhouse, North-Eastern Algeria. Methods: The present study was carried out...
