Complete genome characterization by nanopore sequencing of rotaviruses A, B, and C circulating on large-scale pig farms in Russia.

Background: Rotaviruses are the major etiological agents of gastroenteritis and diarrheal outbreaks in plenty of mammalian species. The genus Rotavirus is highly diverse and currently comprises nine genetically distinct species, and four of them (A, B, C, and H) are common for humans and pigs. There is a strong necessity to comprehend phylogenetic relationships among rotaviruses from different host species to assess interspecies transmission, specifically between humans and livestock.

Genetic diversity of porcine circoviruses 2 and 3 circulating among wild boars in the Moscow Region of Russia.

Porcine circoviruses (PCVs) are widely distributed in swine herds. PCV2, the significant swine pathogen, causes infections characterized by growth and development disorders, skin lesions, and respiratory distress. PCV3 has been circulating worldwide and can be associated with various clinical signs and disease developments.

Interspecies recombination in NSP3 gene in the first porcine rotavirus H in Russia identified using nanopore-based metagenomic sequencing.

During the last decade, porcine rotavirus H was detected in the USA, Asian regions, South Africa, Brazil, and a couple of European countries. In the presented study, the virus was identified in piglets on a farrow-to-finish farm in Russia during metagenomic surveillance. Currently, it is the first identification of this species in the country.

Distribution and genetic diversity of Feline calicivirus in Moscow metropolitan area.

Background: Feline calicivirus (FCV) is widespread throughout the world. An FCV infection is associated with conjunctivitis, rhinitis, and mouth ulcers that can lead to the animal's death. Because vaccination is not always effective, it is necessary to monitor the infection regularly.

The effect of ambient temperature on biological properties and energy metabolism of Fasciola hepatica metacercariae.

Parasitic helminths mainly use carbohydrates for energy synthesis, of which glycogen is the main reserve polysaccharide. When its content decreases to the minimum value, helminths lose their invasive capability. The material for the research was F.

Reprint of: The retention and concentration of glycogen in Trichinella nativа in the winter-spring period.

The metabolism of Trichinella spp. is primarily anoxybiotic in nature. Their main energy source is glycogen, which is stored in the stichocites at the muscular stage of the larval development.
