Persistence of Tembusu Virus in in Yunnan Province, China.

The Tembusu virus (TMUV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, can be transmitted via mosquitoes and cause poultry disease. In 2020, a strain of TMUV (YN2020-20) was isolated from mosquito samples collected in Yunnan province, China. In vitro experiments showed that TMUV-YN2020-20 produced a significant cytopathic effect (CPE) in BHK, DF-1, and VERO cells, while the CPE in C6/36 cells was not significant.

In Vitro Infection Dynamics of Wuxiang Virus in Different Cell Lines.

Wuxiang virus (WUXV) is a newly discovered Bunyavirales transmitted by sandflies. It is found to infect humans and chickens and can cause neurological symptoms and even death in mice. However, the susceptibility of different hosts and tissue-derived cells to this virus is unclear.

Metabolomics Analysis of PK-15 Cells with Pseudorabies Virus Infection Based on UHPLC-QE-MS.

Viruses depend on the metabolic mechanisms of the host to support viral replication. We utilize an approach based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/Q Exactive HF-X Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap Mass (UHPLC-QE-MS) to analyze the metabolic changes in PK-15 cells induced by the infections of the pseudorabies virus (PRV) variant strain and Bartha K61 strain. Infections with PRV markedly changed lots of metabolites, when compared to the uninfected cell group.

Meclizine Inhibits Pseudorabies Virus Replication by Interfering With Virus Entry and Release.

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is a pathogen that causes substantial economic losses to the swine industry. With the emergence and widespread of PRV variants since 2011 in China, current commercial vaccines cannot provide complete protection against PRV infection. Therefore, antiviral drugs may work as an alternative way to control and prevent PRV.

Isolation and genomic characterization of a Chinese NADC34-like PRRSV isolated from Jiangsu province.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most important causative agents to swine industry, which has been epidemic more than 30 years. The emergence and recombination of new virus strains bring great challenges to the prevention and control of PRRSV. In the present study, we reported and characterized a novel PRRSV strain, designated as JS2021NADC34, which was for the first time isolated from clinical samples in Jiangsu province, China.

Induction of UPR Promotes Interferon Response to Inhibit PRRSV Replication PKR and NF-κB Pathway.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) was previously shown to induce a certain level of cellular stress during viral replication. Unfolded protein response (UPR) is a cellular stress response responsible for coping with stress and cellular survival. However, the pathway leading to the induction of UPR that may influence PRRSV replication is still unknown.

Development and application of an indirect ELISA for the detection of antibody to porcine circovirus 4 in pigs.

Porcine circovirus type 4 (PCV4) was first reported in 2019 in China. So far, the viral DNA was detected from both healthy and diseased pigs in China and South Korea by using molecular techniques including PCR and real-time PCR. In contrast, a serological survey regarding the presence of PCV4 antibodies in the pig population was seldomly reported.
