A novel double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus was isolated and described from strain ZZZ210557 of plant endophyte . The dsRNA virus contains four dsRNA segments, dsRNA1 to dsRNA4, with a size range of 3.8 to 5.1 kbp. Each possesses a single large ORF and is encapsulated in isometric particles approximately 42-47 nm in diameter. Notably, the dsRNA3 encoded sequence revealed modest similarities to the amino acid sequences of RdRps predicted from the nucleotide sequences of known and suspected members of the family . Phylogenetic analysis of the putative RdRp with the corresponding proteins of other quadriviruses revealed that the dsRNA virus is a new member belonging to the family , tentatively named quadrivirus 1 (AsQV1). All four segments of AsQV1 could be successfully cured through ribavirin treatment, whereas it likely has no apparent impact on the morphologies or virulence of the host fungus. This study is the first report of a quadrivirus isolated from the fungus , and our results enhance the diversity of the quadrivirus.

The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene VHL is a classic tumor suppressor that has been identified in family members with clear cell renal cell carcinomas, central nervous system and retinal hemangioblastomas, phaeochromocytomas, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. The well-defined function of VHL is to mediate proteasomal degradation of hydroxylated hypoxia-inducible factor α proteins, resulting in the downregulation of hypoxia-responsive gene expression. Previously, we reported that VHL inhibits antiviral signaling by targeting mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) for proteasomal degradation.

Background: Globally, gastroenteritis stands as a primary contributor to child mortality, annually taking the lives of 3 million children under the age of 5 years. Rotavirus, a major factor in viral diarrhea among children aged 6 months to 2 years, presents with severe symptoms such as watery diarrhea and vomiting. Although mortality rates have decreased due to supportive care and vaccines, promising alternatives like N-acetylcysteine (NAC) show potential benefits in laboratory studies, indicating a possible supplementary strategy for managing rotavirus infections by reducing the duration and antigen excretion in feces.

Mastreviruses are important pathogens on many crops and they are transmitted in a persistent manner by leafhoppers. For experimental studies on mastreviruses, transmission with leafhoppers remains as an important method for virus inoculation. Here, we describe a protocol for setting up a culture of the leafhopper vector Psammotettix alienus and efficient leafhopper-mediated transmission of wheat dwarf virus.

Begomoviruses are exclusively transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci in a persistent circulative manner and pose serious threat to the production of important cash crops worldwide. Here, we describe the protocols to study how the whiteflies transmit begomoviruses, including maintenance of whitefly and species identification, preparation of tomato plants infected with virus, acquisition and transmission of virus by whiteflies, dissection of whitefly organs, analysis of virus quantity in whiteflies, immunofluorescence and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) detection of virus in whitefly tissues, membrane feeding of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) or antibody and microinjection of dsRNA in whiteflies.

However, little is known about NDRV-induced spleen injury and its antagonistic mechanism on the host immune response. In this study, we conducted pathological and comparative transcriptomic analyses of NDRV-infected duck spleens.
