Published: May 2021

We report the whole-genome sequence of UKVDL9 and an edited draft genome sequence of 2010L-2198. Both are neurotropic lineage III strains; UKVDL9 was isolated from a sheep brain, and 2010L-2198 was isolated from a human subject with rhombencephalitis.

Rabies is an acute lethal disease causing by the neurotropic virus rabies virus (RABV). Rabies immune globulin (RIG) as an indispensable component of rabies postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) always faces with great challenges in terms of costs, stability and safety. Our objective is to develop a novel and potential fully human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) cocktail for the improvement of rabies PEP.

Gap junctions (GJs) play a crucial role in the survival of oligodendrocytes and myelination of the central nervous system (CNS). In this study, we investigated the spatiotemporal changes in the expression of oligodendroglial GJ protein connexin 47 (Cx47), its primary astroglial coupling partner, Cx43, and their association with demyelination following intracerebral infection with mouse hepatitis virus (MHV). Neurotropic strains of MHV, a β-coronavirus, induce an acute encephalomyelitis followed by a chronic demyelinating disease that shares similarities with the human disease multiple sclerosis (MS).

West Nile Virus (WNV) and Usutu Virus (USUV) are both neurotropic mosquito-borne viruses belonging to the family. These closely related viruses mainly follow an enzootic cycle involving mosquitoes as vectors and birds as amplifying hosts, but humans and other mammals can also be infected through mosquito bites. WNV was first identified in Uganda in 1937 and has since spread globally, notably in Europe, causing periodic outbreaks associated with severe cases of neuroinvasive diseases such as meningitis and encephalitis.

The reduced pathogenicity of the omicron BA.1 sub-lineage compared to earlier variants is well described, although whether such attenuation is retained for later variants like BA.5 and XBB remains controversial.

Circulation of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5Nx viruses of the A/Goose/Guangdong/1/96 lineage in birds regularly causes infections of mammals, including humans. In many mammalian species, infections are associated with severe neurological disease, a unique feature of HPAI H5Nx viruses compared with other influenza A viruses. Here, we provide an overview of the neuropathogenesis of HPAI H5Nx virus infection in mammals, centered on three aspects: neuroinvasion, neurotropism, and neurovirulence.
