Pathogenesis and immune response of nonporcine arteriviruses versus porcine arteriviruses
نویسنده
چکیده
The pathogenesis and immune response of pigs infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) are not completely understood. PRRSV, along with equine viral arteritis (EAV), lactate dehydrogenase elevating virus of mice (LDV), and simian hemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV), are members of the genus Arteriviridae. This review summarizes the similarities and the differences found in the pathogenesis and immune response of nonporcine and porcine arteriviruses.

Novel structural protein in porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus encoded by an alternative ORF5 present in all arteriviruses
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an arterivirus that emerged in the late 1980s in both Europe and North America as the causative agent of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), now the most important disease of swine worldwide. Despite extensive characterization of PRRSV proteins by direct analysis and comparison with other arteriviruses, determinant...
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of arterivirus nonstructural protein 11 reveals the nidovirus-wide conservation of a replicative endoribonuclease.
Nidoviruses (arteriviruses, coronaviruses, and roniviruses) are a phylogenetically compact but diverse group of positive-strand RNA viruses that includes important human and animal pathogens. Nidovirus RNA synthesis is mediated by a cytoplasmic membrane-associated replication/transcription complex that includes up to 16 viral nonstructural proteins (nsps), which carry common enzymatic activitie...
متن کاملRegulatory T Cells in Arterivirus and Coronavirus Infections: Do They Protect Against Disease or Enhance it?
Regulatory T cells (T(regs)) are a subset of T cells that are responsible for maintaining peripheral immune tolerance and homeostasis. The hallmark of T(regs) is the expression of the forkhead box P3 (FoxP3) transcription factor. Natural regulatory T cells (nT(regs)) are a distinct population of T cells that express CD4 and FoxP3. nTregs develop in the thymus and function in maintaining periphe...
متن کاملRecent Progress in Studies of Arterivirus- and Coronavirus-Host Interactions
Animal coronaviruses, such as infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), and arteriviruses, such as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), are able to manifest highly contagious infections in their specific native hosts, thereby arising in critical economic damage to animal industries. This review discusses recent progress in studies of virus-host interactions during animal and hu...
متن کاملAtypical cpb2 genes, encoding beta2-toxin in Clostridium perfringens isolates of nonporcine origin.
Beta2-toxin, encoded by cpb2, is implicated in the pathogenesis of Clostridium perfringens enteritis. However, cpb2 genes from nonporcine C. perfringens isolates were not always expressed, at least in vitro. Nucleotide sequencing identified atypical cpb2 genes with 70.2 to 70.7% DNA identity to previously identified (consensus) cpb2. Atypical beta2-toxin displayed 62.3% identity and 80.4% simil...
