Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) was first identified in 2015 in North America by high-throughput sequencing. APPV is associated with congenital tremor A-II and is widely distributed worldwide. In this study, a total of 2630 samples of domestic pigs obtained from 14 regions of Russia from 2020 to 2024 were screened for APPV presence by qRT-PCR.

Oropouche virus (OROV) is an orthobunyavirus endemic in the Brazilian Amazon that has caused numerous outbreaks of febrile disease since its discovery in 1955. During 2024, Oropouche fever spread from the endemic regions of Brazil into non-endemic areas and other Latin American and Caribbean countries, resulting in 13,014 confirmed infections. Similarly to other orthobunyaviruses, OROV can undergo genetic reassortment events with itself as well as other viruses.

In this study, we investigated the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the pathogenesis of Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS). Previous studies have highlighted the role of EVs in intercellular communication and the modulation of biological processes during viral infections, motivating our in-depth analysis. Our objective was to identify specific molecular signatures in the EVs of patients with CZS, focusing on their potential as biomarkers and on cellular pathways affected by the infection.

Background: Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections are associated with eye manifestations, especially in patients with systemic disease. However, there are no ophthalmic screening guidelines for infants with congenital CMV.
Methods: Retrospective review of pediatric patients (< 18 years old, 2010-2023) with a diagnosis of congenital CMV and at least 1 eye examination.

Background And Objectives: Little is known about the clinical course of children born with congenital Zika virus syndrome (CZS). This article aimed to analyze the growth and survival of children with CZS born with microcephaly and children who developed with microcephaly after birth in the 36-month period.
Methods: This is a cohort of children diagnosed with CZS who were monitored in a series of outpatient appointments, with clinical and demographic information and anthropometric measurements collected.
