AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined how long neonatal gnotobiotic piglets infected with a reovirus-like agent shed the virus, focusing on their fecal viral counts.
- Fecal viral counts peaked just before or at the start of diarrhea, with most piglets shedding the virus for only 1-2 days post-diarrhea onset.
- Some infected piglets could shed the virus without showing diarrhea, indicating a link between the presence of the virus and the onset of gastrointestinal illness in piglets.
Article Abstract
Virus shedding patterns of neonatal gnotobiotic piglets infected with the reovirus-like agent of human infantile gastroenteritis were studied. Fecal viral counts were highest before or at the onset of diarrhea. In diarrheic piglets, viral particles were usually observed for only 1-2 days after the onset of diarrhea, and total duration of shedding was 2-6 days. One infected piglet shed virus for 4 days but did not develop diarrhea. The presence of virus at or about the time of illness is consistent with the induction of diarrhea in piglets inoculated with the human reovirus-like agent.

Knowledge on symbiotic microorganisms of insects has increased dramatically in recent years, yet relatively little data are available regarding non-pathogenic viruses. Here we studied the virome of the parasitoid wasp Triapitsyn (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), a biocontrol agent of mealybugs. By high-throughput sequencing of viral nucleic acids, we revealed three novel viruses, belonging to the families [provisionally termed AnvRV (Anagyrus vladimiri reovirus)], (AnvIFV) and (AnvDV).

The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, is an important insect vector of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, the causal agent of Huanglongbing, which is the most destructive disease of citrus worldwide. Sequences for putative Diaphorina citri reovirus (DcRV) were identified from some worldwide populations of D. citri.

Article Synopsis
- Avian reoviruses (ARVs) have been linked to serious health issues and deaths in various bird species, including corvids in North America and Europe, but ARV-associated disease had not been reported in British wild birds before this study.
- An individual magpie in Buckinghamshire exhibited signs of illness and was found dead, with post-mortem examinations revealing severe abnormalities in the liver and spleen, consistent with ARV infection.
- The presence of ARV was confirmed through multiple laboratory techniques, suggesting it was the primary cause of death in the magpie, which also suffered from a secondary Aspergillus infection due to weakened immunity.

Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) belongs to the Reoviridae family and is the only known fish virus related to the Orthoreovirus genus. The virus is the causative agent of heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI), an emerging disease in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.).
