Aichi virus C, a species in the genus Kobuvirus, causes diarrhea diseases in pigs and goats and pose health threat and economic loss for stock farming. A nearly complete genome sequence of caprine kobuvirus GCCDC14 was obtained from an anal swab of a black goat died from diarrhea collected in Hubei, China in 2019. Phylogenetic analyses suggested that GCCDC14 is a novel genotype of Aichi virus C, forming a sister branch to other caprine kobuviruses, with P1 and VP0 genes more closely related to porcine kobuviruses and VP3 in an independent branch. Compared to previous caprine kobuviruses, unique amino acid changes in the poly-l-proline type II helix structure of VP0 and VP1 were found, which may affect the cellular machinery of host and pathogenicity. This study indicates the presence of the kobuvirus with continuously evolving features and emphasizes the surveillance and genetic evolution investigation of kobuviruses for safety of husbandry.

The transmission and infection of enteric viruses can be influenced by co-existing bacteria within the environment and host. However, the viral binding ligands on bacteria and the underlying interaction mechanisms remain unclear. This study characterized the association of norovirus surrogate Tulane virus (TuV) and murine norovirus (MNV) as well as the human enteric virus Aichi virus (AiV) with six bacteria strains (Pantoea agglomerans, Pantoea ananatis, Bacillus cereus, Enterobacter cloacae, Exiguobacterium sibiricum, Pseudomonas spp.

Kobuviruses (family , genus ) are enteric viruses that infect a wide range of both human and animal hosts. Much of the evolutionary history of kobuviruses remains elusive, largely due to limited screening in wildlife. Bats have been implicated as major sources of virulent zoonoses, including coronaviruses, henipaviruses, and filoviruses, though much of the bat virome still remains uncharacterized.

Background: Human norovirus (HuNoV) is a major cause of enteric infectious gastroenteritis and is classified into several genotypes based on its capsid protein amino acid sequence and nucleotide sequence of the polymerase gene. Among these, GII.4 is the major genotype worldwide.

Article Synopsis
  • Human Aichi virus 1 (AiV-1) is a picornavirus linked to gastroenteritis and is found frequently in environmental waters, indicating potential fecal contamination.
  • Recent research examined 450 water samples from a Tunisian drinking water treatment plant and Sidi Salem dam, revealing 18.9% tested positive for AiV-1 with varying viral loads throughout different treatment stages.
  • The presence of infectious AiV-1 particles poses a public health risk, and the study highlights the effectiveness of the integrated cell culture approach combined with quantitative molecular detection (ICC-RT-qPCR) for monitoring viruses in water.

Article Synopsis
  • The initial exposure to influenza viruses creates long-lasting immune memory, affecting responses to future vaccinations and infections.
  • Differences in how earlier infections influence immune responses to various vaccine types were examined in Balb/c mice, showing that closely related strains lead to stronger immunity.
  • Vaccinations following specific past exposures can result in effective protection against related influenza strains and enhance cross-reactive immunity, underscoring the importance of an individual's flu history in vaccine design.
