the strain CRI41435, sharing 99% sequence identity. AstV-MLB1 and AstVMLB2 are phylogenetically related to the rat astroviruses RS118 and RS126. The remaining novel astroviruses, 10322603 and 10621246, clustered closely with human, mink, and ovine astrovirus strain NI-295 (Figure). This study documented that multiple novel astroviruses circulated simultaneously with common human astrovirus type...
متن کاملBat Astroviruses: Towards Understanding the Transmission Dynamics of a Neglected Virus Family
Bats belong to the order Chiroptera that represents the second largest order of mammals with more than 1200 species and an almost global distribution. Environmental changes and deforestation have severely influenced many ecosystems, intensifying the contact between wildlife and humans. In recent years, bats have been found to harbor a number of different viruses with zoonotic potential, as well...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequences of Two Astrovirus MLB1 Strains from Bhutanese Children with Diarrhea
In addition to the eight genotypes of classic human astroviruses, seven new genotypes have been reported from two novel clades, MLB and VA. However, the epidemiology of these highly diverse astroviruses remains largely unknown. We report here the complete genome sequences of two MLB1 strains from Bhutanese children with diarrhea.
متن کاملAstrovirus MLB1 Is Not Associated with Diarrhea in a Cohort of Indian Children
Astroviruses are a known cause of human diarrhea. Recently the highly divergent astrovirus MLB1 (MLB1) was identified in a stool sample from a patient with diarrhea. It has subsequently been detected in stool from individuals with and without diarrhea. To determine whether MLB1 is associated with diarrhea, we conducted a case control study of MLB1. In parallel, the prevalence of the classic hum...
متن کاملEpidemiology of Classic and Novel Human Astrovirus: Gastroenteritis and Beyond
Since they were identified in 1975, human astroviruses have been considered one of the most important agents of viral acute gastroenteritis in children. However, highly divergent astroviruses infecting humans have been recently discovered and associated with extra-intestinal infections. The report of cases of fatal meningitis and encephalitis, especially in immunocompromised individuals, has br...
