Genomic characterization of a circovirus associated with fatal hemorrhagic enteritis in dog, Italy.

ABSTRACT: Dog circovirus (DogCV) was identified in an outbreak of enteritis in pups in Italy. The disease was observed in 6 young dachshunds pups of a litter from a breeding kennel and caused the death of 2 dogs. Upon full-genome analysis, the virus detected in one of the dead pups (strain Bari/411-13) was closely related to DogCVs that have been recently isolated in the USA. The present study, if corroborated by further reports, could represent a useful contribution to the knowledge of the pathogenic potential of DogCV and its association with enteritis in dogs.

Genomic characterization of canine circovirus associated with fatal disease in dogs in South America.

Project description:Canine circovirus (CanineCV) was detected, together with canine parvovirus (CPV), in samples from an outbreak of fatal gastroenteritis in dogs in Argentina. We obtained the full-length genome of this recently discovered virus by overlapping PCR, designated strain UBA-Baires. Sequence analysis revealed a highly conserved genome but also showed several unique mutations in amino acids from the capsid protein that have not been previously reported. Phylogenetic analysis shows that this strain is more closely related to European strains than to viruses detected in North America or Asia. Although the pathogenic role of CanineCV in dogs is still unclear, this study highlights the importance of CanineCV as a coinfecting virus in disease development. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the involvement of CanineCV in severe clinical disease in dogs in South America. Our results expand our information on the geographical extent of this virus and contribute to the understanding of its role in disease.

Canine circoviral hemorrhagic enteritis in a dog in Connecticut.

Project description:A 5-mo-old Bassett Hound-Labrador Retriever cross was autopsied following a bout of lethargy, inappetence, and bleeding gums. Mucous membranes were white, and the small intestine was blue-black; the colon contained black feces. The spleen was swollen, and multiple lymph nodes were enlarged and hemorrhagic. Microscopically, the small intestine had focal crypt cell necrosis and circumferential transmural vasculitis, the latter the cause of infarction and the blue-black coloration. Lymphocytes were necrotic in spleen and lymph nodes, and erythrophagocytosis was present in some nodes. Vasculitis was present in brain, meninges, lung, liver, and kidneys. Electron microscopy revealed aggregates of 15-18 nm round viral particles in damaged crypt cells and in the endothelium of small blood vessels. Electron-dense intracytoplasmic inclusions consisting of paracrystalline-arrayed virus were demonstrated in macrophages in medullary lymph node sinuses. These virions were identified as circovirus, which was confirmed by real-time PCR and sequencing.

Clinical and molecular observations of two fatal cases of rotavirus-associated enteritis in children in Italy.

Project description:Two fatal cases of infantile rotavirus enteritis occurred in northern Italy in 2005. Both children were severely dehydrated, and death was related to severe cerebral edema. Histological examination demonstrated extensive damage of the intestinal epithelium, villous atrophy or blunting, and macrophage infiltration. The two rotavirus strains were of the G1P[8] type and the long electropherotype. The 2005 G1P[8] rotaviruses differed in the NSP4, VP3, VP4, and VP7 genes from G1P[8] rotaviruses circulating in 2004, suggesting the onset of a new G1P[8] strain in the local population.

Genotypic characterization of canine coronaviruses associated with fatal canine neonatal enteritis in the United States.

Project description:Emerging canine coronavirus (CCoV) variants that are associated with systemic infections have been reported in the European Union; however, CCoV-associated disease in the United States is incompletely characterized. The purpose of this study was to correlate the clinicopathological findings and viral antigen distribution with the genotypic characteristics of CCoV in 11 puppies from nine premises in five states that were submitted for diagnostic investigation at Cornell University between 2008 and 2013. CCoV antigen was found in epithelial cells of small intestinal villi in all puppies and the colon in 2 of the 10 puppies where colon specimens were available. No evidence of systemic CCoV infection was found. Comparative sequence analyses of viral RNA extracted from intestinal tissues revealed CCoV-II genotype in 9 out of 11 puppies. Of the nine CCoV-IIs, five were subtyped as group IIa and one as IIb, while three CCoVs could not be subtyped. One of the CCoV-IIa variants was isolated in cell culture. Infection with CCoV alone was found in five puppies, of which two also had small intestinal intussusception. Concurrent infections with either parvovirus (n = 1), attaching-effacing Escherichia coli (n = 4), or protozoan parasites (n = 3) were found in the other six puppies. CCoV is an important differential diagnosis in outbreaks of severe enterocolitis among puppies between 4 days and 21 weeks of age that are housed at high population density. These findings will assist with the rapid laboratory diagnosis of enteritis in puppies and highlight the need for continued surveillance for CCoV variants and intestinal viral diseases of global significance.

Identification and genomic characterization of a novel CRESS DNA virus from a calf with severe hemorrhagic enteritis in China.

Project description:In this study, a novel circular replication-associated protein (Rep)-encoding single stranded (CRESS) DNA virus was discovered in diarrheic sample of a calf with severe hemorrhagic enteritis. The virus, named Bo-Circo-like virus CH, has a circular genome with 3909 nucleotides (nt). Six putative open reading frames (ORFs) were identified, including Rep, capsid (Cap) and four proteins of unknown function. Both the genome size and the number as well as the organization of encoded ORFs, Bo-Circo-like virus CH is most closely related to Po-Circo-like virus 21 detected in pig faeces. A preliminary survey using specific primers for the Rep region showed that 5.3% (4/75) of diarrheic samples were positive for Bo-Circo-like virus, and all 42 healthy samples were negative. In conclusion, our results indicate that Bo-Circo-like virus CH may represent a new virus in bovine. Further investigation is needed to determine the relationship between the virus infection and diarrhea.

Characterizing the Transcriptome of Turkey Hemorrhagic Enteritis Virus

Project description:Characterizing the splice map of turkey hemorrhagic enteritis virus (THEV) is an essential step that would allow studies of individual genes mediating its immunosuppressive functions. We used an RNA-sequencing experiment to characterize the transcriptome of THEV for the first time, providing key insight into the THEV gene expression and mRNA structures. Researchers previously annotated the genome of THEV as encoding 23 open reading frames (ORFs). In this work we identified 29 spliced transcripts all of which consisted of novel exons although some exons matched some previously annotated ORFs. The three annotated splice junctions were also corroborated by our data. We performed PCR amplification of THEV cDNA, cloned the PCR products, and used Sanger sequencing to validate all identified splice junctions. During validation we identified five additional unique transcripts, a subset of which were further validated by 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3' RACE) experiments. Thus, we report that the genome of THEV contains 34 transcripts with the coding capacity for all annotated ORFs. However, we found six of the previously annotated ORFs (ORF1, E3, 33K, ORF8, IVa2, and protease) to be truncated ORFs on the basis of the identification of an in-frame upstream start codon or the detection of additional coding exons. We also identified three of the annotated ORFs with longer or shorter isoforms, and seven novel unannotated ORFs that could potentially be translated; although it is beyond the scope of this manuscript to investigate whether they are translated. Similar to other adenoviruses (AdVs), THEV also produces multiple distinctly spliced transcripts that code for the same proteins across its genome. Our data show that all THEV transcripts are spliced and organized into five transcription units under the control of their cognate promoters like other AdVs.

Novel canine bocavirus strain associated with severe enteritis in a dog litter.

Project description:Bocaviruses are small non-enveloped viruses with a linear ssDNA genome, that belong to the genus Bocaparvovirus of the subfamiliy Parvovirinae. Bocavirus infections are associated with a wide spectrum of disease in humans and various mammalian species. Here we describe a fatal enteritis associated with infection with a novel strain of canine bocavirus 2 (CaBoV-2), that occurred in a litter of German wirehaired pointers. Necropsy performed on three puppies revealed an enteritis reminiscent of canine parvovirus associated enteritis, accompanied with signs of lymphocytolytic disease in bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes and thymus. While other major causes of enteritis of young dogs, including canine parvovirus, were excluded, by random PCR in combination with next-generation sequencing, a novel CaBoV-2 strain was detected. Phylogenetic analysis of the genome of this novel canine bocavirus strain indicated that this virus was indeed most closely related to group 2 canine bocaviruses. Infection with canine bocavirus was confirmed by in situ hybridization, which revealed the presence of CaBoV-2 nucleic acid in the intestinal tract and lymphoid tissues of the dogs. In a small-scale retrospective analysis concerning the role of CaBoV-2 no additional cases were identified. The findings of this study provide novel insights into the pathogenicity of canine bocaviruses.

Genomic characterization of a novel bat-associated Circovirus detected in European Miniopterus schreibersii bats.

Project description:Circoviruses are small circular DNA viruses causing severe pig and poultry disease, recently identified in various bat species worldwide. We report the detection and full-genome molecular characterization of a novel bat-associated Circovirus identified in faecal samples of Miniopterus schreibersii bats (Schreiber's bent-winged bats) from Sardinia, Italy. Full-genomic sequencing revealed a new putative member of Circoviridae family, with a genome size of 2063 nt. Sequencing allowed the characterization of the two major ORFs, inversely arranged, encoding replicase and capsid proteins, as well as the finding of a polythymidine tract within the genome, and highlighted phylogenetic relationships of the novel virus. This is the first report of circovirus in European bats. Giving the high level of genetic diversity of bat circoviruses, it is paramount to further investigate the relationships between these viruses and bats.

Molecular Characterization of Hemorrhagic Enteritis Virus (HEV) Obtained from Clinical Samples in Western Canada 2017-2018.

Project description:Hemorrhagic enteritis virus (HEV) is an immunosuppressive adenovirus that causes an acute clinical disease characterized by hemorrhagic gastroenteritis in 4-week-old turkeys and older. Recurrent incidence of secondary infections (e.g., systemic bacterial infections, cellulitis, and elevated mortality), may be associated with the presence of field-type HEV in Canadian turkey farms. We speculate that field-type HEV and vaccine/vaccine-like strains can be differentiated through analysis of the viral genomes, hexon genes, and the specific virulence factors (e.g., ORF1, E3, and fib knob domain). Nine out of sixteen spleens obtained from cases suspected of immunosuppression by HEV were analyzed. The limited data obtained showed that: (1) field-type HEV circulates in many non-vaccinated western Canadian flocks; (2) field-type HEV circulates in vaccinated flocks with increased recurrent bacterial infections; and (3) the existence of novel point mutations in hexon, ORF1, E3, and specially fib knob domains. This is the first publication showing the circulation of wild-type HEV in HEV-vaccinated flocks in Western Canada, and the usefulness of a novel procedure that allows whole genome sequencing of HEV directly from spleens, without passaging in cell culture or passaging in vivo. Further studies focusing more samples are required to confirm our observations and investigate possible vaccination failure.

Genomic characterization of porcine rotaviruses in Italy.

Project description:A total of 23 rotavirus strains isolated from pigs were analyzed. Twenty strains had been isolated from diarrheic piglets from an outbreak that occurred in northern Italy in 1983. Three strains had been isolated in 1984 from swine herds located in distinct areas of northern Italy. All 23 strains were characterized as type G6P[5] by PCR. The isolation from piglets of rotaviruses displaying typical bovine G- and P-type specificities points out the high frequency of rotavirus transmission between cattle and pigs.
