The whole-genome sequences of orthobunyaviruses isolated from cattle reared on Yonaguni Island (the western-most point of Japan's territory) were determined. The sequences of their S and L RNA segments were observed to be almost identical to those of Shamonda virus (SHAV) isolates identified in Japan, whereas the sequences of their M RNA segments were very similar to those of Japanese isolates of Sathuperi virus (SATV). Our findings indicate that the two novel isolates are natural reassortants between SHAV and SATV, which share a genome segment organization similar to that of Schmallenberg virus. The nucleotide sequence of the 5' non-coding region of the novel isolates differs from those of previously sequenced SATV isolates, suggesting that the M RNA segments of the reassortants were not derived from SATV strains that were detected recently in Japan.

Nephrin is an essential constituent of the slit diaphragm of the kidney filtering unit. Loss of nephrin expression leads to protein leakage into the urine, one of the hallmarks of kidney damage. Autoantibodies against nephrin have been reported in patients with minimal change disease and recurrent focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus L.) is an important horticultural crop in Italy, with a production of around 600,000 tons per year (third producer in the Europe). Viruses are considered a limiting factor in watermelon production, especially those transmitted by efficient vectors such as whiteflies and aphids.
