Multiple Types of Novel Enteric Bopiviruses (Picornaviridae) with the Possibility of Interspecies Transmission Identified from Cloven-Hoofed Domestic Livestock (Ovine, Caprine and Bovine) in Hungary.

ABSTRACT: Most picornaviruses of the family Picornaviridae are relatively well known, but there are certain "neglected" genera like Bopivirus, containing a single uncharacterised sequence (bopivirus A1, KM589358) with very limited background information. In this study, three novel picornaviruses provisionally called ovipi-, gopi- and bopivirus/Hun (MW298057-MW298059) from enteric samples of asymptomatic ovine, caprine and bovine respectively, were determined using RT-PCR and dye-terminator sequencing techniques. These monophyletic viruses share the same type II-like IRES, NPGP-type 2A, similar genome layout (4-3-4) and cre-localisations. Culture attempts of the study viruses, using six different cell lines, yielded no evidence of viral growth in vitro. Genomic and phylogenetic analyses show that bopivirus/Hun of bovine belongs to the species Bopivirus A, while the closely related ovine-origin ovipi- and caprine-origin gopivirus could belong to a novel species "Bopivirus B" in the genus Bopivirus. Epidemiological investigation of N = 269 faecal samples of livestock (ovine, caprine, bovine, swine and rabbit) from different farms in Hungary showed that bopiviruses were most prevalent among <12-month-old ovine, caprine and bovine, but undetectable in swine and rabbit. VP1 capsid-based phylogenetic analyses revealed the presence of multiple lineages/genotypes, including closely related ovine/caprine strains, suggesting the possibility of ovine-caprine interspecies transmission of certain bopiviruses.

Project description:In this study, the enteric virome of diarrheic caprine was investigated using next-generation sequencing, reverse transcription PCR methods, and bioinformatics analyses. The complete or nearly complete genomes of seven novel viruses including (i) a caprine astrovirus (OQ758025) of family Astroviridae, four picornaviruses in genera (ii) Boosepivirus (OQ758026), (iii) Enterovirus (OQ758028), (iv) Kobuvirus (OQ758029), and (v) an unassigned picornavirus provisionally called as capripivirus (from the term caprine picornavirus) of the family Picornaviridae (OQ758027), as well as (vi) a tusavirus of family Parvoviridae (OL692339.2) and an (vii) unassigned CRESS DNA virus (OQ758030) have been identified. Structural analyses of the internal ribosomal entry sites revealed the presence of unique motifs and suggest the modular exchange of certain elements between co-infecting viruses. Epidemiological investigations and genotyping PCR reactions of identified RNA virus groups were also conducted using multiple "in-house" developed SYBRgreen-based screening quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays and generic capsid primers on additional fecal samples from ruminant livestock species (n = 62 caprine, n = 32 ovine, and n = 94 cattle) of three different age groups from n = 12 geographically distant sampling sites in Hungary. The results of qPCR screening assays as well as K-means cluster and phylogenetic analyses of the determined sequences suggest that diverse members of the above RNA virus groups were found in all age groups, but mostly in <1-year-old ruminants. Members of the analyzed virus groups were found frequently (37.2%) in multiple (even in quintuple) co-infections, while strains related closely to the identified index viruses were detectable only in certain caprine and ovine samples indicating a wide range of viral diversity. IMPORTANCE Compared with other domestic animals, the virome and viral diversity of small ruminants especially in caprine are less studied even of its zoonotic potential. In this study, the enteric virome of caprine was investigated in detail using next-generation sequencing and reverse transcription PCR techniques. The complete or nearly complete genomes of seven novel viruses were determined which show a close phylogenetic relationship to known human and ruminant viruses. The high similarity between the identified caprine tusavirus (family Parvoviridae) and an unassigned CRESS DNA virus with closely related human strains could indicate the (reverse) zoonotic potential of these viruses. Others, like astroviruses (family Astroviridae), enteroviruses, or novel caripiviruses (named after the term caprine picornavirus) of family Picornaviridae found mostly in multiple co-infections in caprine and ovine, could indicate the cross-species transmission capabilities of these viruses between small ruminants.

Project description:1. A radioimmunoassay for ovine prolactin is described based on the inhibition of the reaction between (131)I-labelled ovine prolactin and guinea-pig or rabbit antiserum to ovine prolactin. The extent of the reaction after a 4-day incubation period is determined by chromatoelectrophoresis or by adsorption of unchanged (131)I-labelled ovine prolactin on charcoal. The sensitivity is equal to 5.9ng. of prolactin/ml. of plasma with chromatoelectrophoresis, or 0.2ng. of prolactin/ml. of tissue extracts with the charcoal separation. 2. A complete cross-reaction demonstrated between ovine prolactin and caprine pituitary extracts allows the assay to be used to measure caprine prolactin. The partial cross-reactions between ovine prolactin and bovine prolactin and between ovine prolactin and bovine pituitary extract differ, and an alteration in the immunological activity of bovine prolactin during its isolation is suggested. Bovine prolactin in plasma may be measured against a bovine pituitary extract as standard. No cross-reactions were demonstrated with pituitary extracts from a number of other species. The extent of the contamination of ovine and bovine growth hormone preparations by their respective prolactins is shown. 3. Dilutions of ovine and caprine plasma inhibit the reaction between (131)I-labelled ovine prolactin and antiserum with the same characteristics as ovine prolactin. 4. The immunoreactive material in plasma fractionates on Sephadex G-200 and in sucrose density gradients as a single peak similar to that shown by freshly dissolved ovine prolactin. There is no evidence that ovine prolactin is bound to a plasma protein. 5. By suppressing prolactin secretion and assaying serial samples of plasma thereafter it is shown that the immunological activity of the surviving hormone becomes progressively altered with time. It is suggested that this alteration is usually not detected but introduces an element of uncertainty into the quantitative but not the qualitative value of the measurements obtained by reference to standard ovine prolactin.
