Rotaviruses A (RVA) are leading causes of diarrhea and dehydration in piglets and imply great economic loss to the pig farming community. In this study, the porcine RVA genotypes circulating in western and northern parts of India were determined by screening 214 fecal samples from diarrheic ( = 144) and non-diarrheic ( = 70) pigs. Subsequently, the structural (VP4 and VP7) and nonstructural (NSP3, and NSP4) genes were amplified, sequenced, and genetically characterized. The RVA positivity percentage was 7.94% (17/214) by RNA-PAGE and 10.28% (22/214) by RT-PCR. Higher RVA positivity was observed in samples from Uttar Pradesh (24.07%) followed by Maharashtra (6.77%) and Goa (2.38%). The sequence and automated genotyping software analysis confirmed the circulation of G4P[6] and G9P[13] RVA strains in porcine population. To note, the sequence similarity of the VP7 gene of Porcine/INDIA/RVA/PK-13 IVRI/Maharashtra/G4 and Porcine/INDIA/RVA/P-8/IVRI/U.P./G9 strain showed a relationship of 96.83 and 98.89% at the nucleotide level with human RVA strains indicating inter-species transmission. Additionally, the NSP3 (T1) and NSP4 (E1) genes (genotypes) also showed genetic relatedness with human RVA strains. Overall, the nucleotide sequences of VP7, NSP3, and NSP4 genes of porcine RVA indicate zooanthroponotic transmission. Further, we report the detection of G9P[13] RVA strain in porcine for the first time from India.HIGHLIGHTSRVA positivity was 7.94% (17/214) by RNA-PAGE and 10.28% (22/214) by RT-PCRThe RVA strain G9P[13] reported for the first time in Indian pigletsVP7, NSP3 and NSP4 genes analysis of porcine RVA showed genetic relatedness with human strains indicating evidence of zooanthroponotic transmission.

β-coronavirus rearranges the host cellular membranes to form double-membrane vesicles (DMVs) via NSP3/4, which anchor replication-transcription complexes (RTCs), thereby constituting the replication organelles (ROs). However, the impact of specific domains within NSP3/4 on DMV formation and RO assembly remains largely unknown. By using cryogenic-correlated light and electron microscopy (cryo-CLEM), we discovered that the N-terminal and C-terminal domains (NTD and CTD) of SARS-CoV-2 NSP3 are essential for DMV formation.

Coronavirus-infected cells contain double-membrane vesicles (DMVs) that are key for viral RNA replication and transcription, perforated by hexameric pores connecting the vesicular lumen to the cytoplasm. How pores form and traverse two membranes, and how DMVs organize RNA synthesis, is unknown. Using structure prediction and functional assays, we show that the nonstructural viral membrane protein nsp4 is the key pore organizer, spanning the double membrane and forming most of the pore lining.

Monitoring the genetic diversity and emerging mutations in SARS-CoV-2 remains crucial for understanding its evolution, given the virus's persistence in India. This study analyzes lineage dynamics, mutation screening, structural analysis, and phylodynamics of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) in India from October 2020 to September 2023. The predominant variants identified were alpha, beta, delta, and omicron, with delta and omicron making up 76.

Bovine rotavirus (BRV) is the main cause of acute gastroenteritis in calves, resulting in significant economic losses to the cattle industry worldwide. Additionally, BRV has multiple genotypes, which could enable cross-species transmission, thereby posing a significant risk to public health. However, there is a problem of multiple genotypes coexisting in BRV, and the cross-protection effect between different genotypes of rotavirus strains is not effective enough.

Group A rotaviruses (RVAs) are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis in children under 5 years of age worldwide. Herein, the genetic sequences of 11 RNA segments from three uncommon G9P[4] RVA strains found in the stool samples of children under 5 years of age in Iran were analyzed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. The genomic constellations of these three uncommon G9P[4] strains indicated the presence of the double and quadruple reassortants of two G9P[4] strains, containing the VP7/NSP2 and VP7/VP2/NSP2/NSP4 genes on a DS-1-like genetic background, respectively.
