Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a highly contagious enteric pathogen of swine. In the present study, we analyzed the spike genes and ORF3 genes of seven PEDV strains detected in Philippine pigs in June 2014. There are four major epitope regions in the spike glycoprotein: a CO-26K equivalent (COE) domain, SS2 and SS6 epitopes, and an epitope region recognized by the 2C10 monoclonal antibody. Analysis of Philippine strains revealed amino acid substitutions in the SS6 epitope region (LQDGQVKI to SQSGQVKI) of the S1 domain. Substitutions were also detected in the 2C10 epitope region (GPRLQPY to GPRFQPY) in the cytoplasmic domain. Phylogenetic analysis of the complete spike gene sequences from the seven strains revealed that they clustered within the G2 group but were distantly related to the North American and INDELs clusters. Interestingly, these strains were close to Vietnamese PEDVs on the ORF3 genetic tree and showed high (97.0-97.6 %) sequence identity to ORF3 genes at the nucleotide level.

, a medicinal herbaceous plant documented in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, is a promising candidate for research into plant-derived pharmaceuticals. However, the study of newly emerging viruses that threaten the cultivation of remains limited. In this study, plants exhibiting symptoms such as leaf yellowing, mottled leaves, and vein chlorosis were collected and subjected to RNA sequencing to identify potential viral pathogens.

A novel plant virus was identified in fig trees exhibiting ring spot symptoms through high-throughput sequencing (HTS). The complete genome sequence was successfully determined using PCR and RT-PCR techniques. The virus features a circular DNA genome of 7233 nucleotides (nt) in length, encompassing four open reading frames (ORFs).

Herpesviruses, including the oncogenic Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), must bypass host DNA sensing mechanisms to establish infection. The first viral latency protein expressed, EBNA-LP, is essential for transformation of naïve B cells, yet its role in evading host defenses remains unclear. Using single-cell RNA sequencing of EBNA-LP-Knockout (LPKO)-infected B cells, we reveal an antiviral response landscape implicating the 'speckled proteins' as key restriction factors countered by EBNA-LP.

Background: Since the beginning of the pandemic, contact tracing has been one of the most relevant issues to understand SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics and, in this context, the analysis of quasispecies may turn out to be a useful tool for outbreak investigations. Analysis of the intra-host single nucleotide variants (iSNVs) found in the nsp2, ORF3, and ORF7 genes of SARS-CoV-2 was conducted in order to correctly identify virus transmission chain among patients hospitalized in Brescia Civic Hospital.
Methods: During the period between August and October 2023, 13 nasopharyngeal specimens, collected from patients admitted to Brescia Civic Hospital, were tested for SARS-CoV-2 positivity and molecularly characterized.

While hybrids between japonica and indica rice exhibit strong heterosis, they often suffer from hybrid sterility (HS). Hybrid fertility of the embryo sac is predominantly regulated by a three-gene system (comprising closely linked ORF3, ORF4 and ORF5) at rice S5 locus. The cooperation of ORF5+ and ORF4+ can result in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and sporophytically kill all embryo sacs, while ORF3+ can gametophytically protect the residing embryo sac.
