Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes severe lower respiratory tract infection in children and calves. Antibodies to ovine RSV (ORSV) are common in sheep, but the clinical disease is not well defined. There is no report of ORSV infection in Australian sheep although respiratory distress syndrome has been described. This discrepancy may be due to the lack of a suitable diagnostic test. In this report, we have characterised the ORSV G protein in an attempt to study its relatedness to human and bovine RSV (HRSV, BRSV) and for use in the development of a suitable diagnostic assay. Full length and a truncated variant of ORSV G protein were expressed in mammalian cells and the expressed proteins characterised by indirect immunofluorescence and radioimmunoprecipitation assays. Our results indicate that like HRSV, the ORSV G protein is heavily glycosylated. The expressed protein was membrane bound as well as secreted and could be purified from culture supernatants and may be suitable for use in development of a diagnostic assay.

(CymMV) and (ORSV) are among the world's most serious and widespread orchid viruses; they often infect orchids, causing devastating losses to the orchid industry. Therefore, it is critical to establish a method that can rapidly and accurately detect viruses in the field using simple instruments, which will largely reduce the further spread of viruses and improve the quality of the orchid industry and is suitable for mass promotion and application at grassroots agrotechnical service points. In this investigation, we established a rapid amplification method for virus detection at 39 °C for 35 min to detect the presence of CymMV and ORSV simultaneously, sensitively, and specifically in orchids.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of respiratory illness in ruminants and infants. The G glycoprotein of RSV serves as the viral attachment ligand. Despite currently available vaccines, RSV immunity is insufficient, and re-infections occur.

Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia, Orchidaceae) is Madagascar's leading agricultural export resource which provides 80% of world's consumption. During a phytosanitary survey conducted from November 2019 to March 2021 in the main vanilla production regions of Madagascar, 250 plots were indexed for cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV, Potexvirus genus) and odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV, Tobamovirus genus) the two most prevalent viruses of cultivated orchids worldwide (Zettler et al., 1990).

Synergistic interactions among viruses, hosts and/or transmission vectors during mixed infection can alter viral titers, symptom severity or host range. Viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs) are considered one of such factors contributing to synergistic responses. Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV) and cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV), which are two of the most significant orchid viruses, exhibit synergistic symptom intensification in orchids with unilaterally enhanced CymMV movement by ORSV.
