In Vitro Host-Cell Susceptibility to Usutu Virus
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigated the susceptibility to Usutu virus (Flavivirus) of 13 permanent cell lines, 3 primary cell cultures, and chicken embryos. Vero, PK-15, and goose embryo fibroblast cells developed cytopathic effects; however, viral multiplication was detected in all mammalian cell types by immunohistochemical tests. Chicken embryo fibroblast cells and chicken embryos were resistant.

Susceptibility of various cell lines to Neospora caninum tachyzoites cultivation
Neospora caninum is a coccidian protozoan parasite which is a major cause of bovine abortions and neonatal mortality in cattle, sheep, goat and horse. Occasionally, cultured cells are used for isolation and multiplication of the agent in vitro with several purposes. In this study the tachyzoite yields of N. caninum were compared in various cell cultures as the host cell lines. Among the cell cu...
متن کاملPutative Lineage of Novel African Usutu Virus, Central Europe
[Sarah Gregory] The authors characterize the complete genome of the putative novel Usutu virus strain Usutu-BONN detected in a dead black bird from Germany. Genomic analysis revealed several unique amino acid substitutions among the polyprotein gene. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that Usutu bond constitutes a putative novel African Usutu virus lineage, which was probably, recently, introdu...
متن کاملWorking with Zika and Usutu Viruses In Vitro
Usutu (USUV) and Zika (ZIKV) viruses are emerging arboviruses of significant medical and veterinary importance. These viruses have not been studied as well as other medically important arboviruses such as West Nile (WNV), dengue (DENV), or chikungunya (CHIKV) viruses. As such, information regarding the behavior of ZIKV and USUV viruses in the laboratory is dated. Usutu virus re-emerged in Austr...
متن کاملReovirus oncolysis: a brief insight on molecular mechanism and immunological aspect
Abstract : Reovirus (respiratory enteric orphan virus), a naturally occurring benign human pathogen, has an inherent ability to target transformed and cancerous cells and cause their lysis, while leaving non-transformed cells relatively unaffected. The efficiency of this innate oncolytic activity of reovirus correlates with expression of the ras oncogene. Cells expressing ac...
متن کاملWest Nile virus-neutralizing antibodies in wild birds from southern Spain.
West Nile virus (WNV) is an emerging vector-borne arbovirus with a zoonotic life-cycle whose main reservoir hosts are birds. In humans and horses, WNV infections rarely result in clinical disease but on occasions - depending on factors such as climatic conditions, insect communities and background immunity levels in local populations - they can lead to outbreaks that threaten public and animal ...
