Swine influenza virus structure Influenza viruses are enveloped, segmented, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA viruses belonging to the family Orthomyxoviridae.2 The Orthomyxoviridae family consists of four genera – influenza A virus, influenza B virus, influenza C virus, and thogotovirus.2 As influenza A viruses cause disease in animals, birds, and humans,3 including swine, this genus will be...

During 2015-2016, several outbreaks of tilapia lake virus infection occurred among tilapia in Thailand. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the virus from Thailand grouped with a tilapia virus (family Orthomyxoviridae) from Israel. This emerging virus is a threat to tilapia aquaculture in Asia and worldwide.

A gripe é uma doença respiratória infeciosa causada por vírus da família Orthomyxoviridae. É sazonal, mais frequente no outono e inverno que se caracteriza por: mal-estar cansaço, febre alta, dores musculares, articulares de cabeça, tosse seca inflamação dos olhos1. Ocasionalmente surgem epidemias devido ao facto este evoluir rapidamente transmitir facilmente via aérea através gotículas, tornan...

Influenza A is a disease caused by a RNA virus, member of the orthomyxoviridae family. The influenza infection is characterized primarily by pulmonary affection that may advance to an acute pulmonary respiratory failure course. Hepatic involvement is not frequent and accounts for < 3% of all cases. We describe two patients with acute Influenza A H1N1 infection who developed hepatic involvement....

Introduction Influenza viruses are segmented, negative-sense, enveloped RNA viruses that belong to the family Orthomyxoviridae. Influenza is a highly contagious acute respiratory disease of global importance that has caused epidemics and pandemics for centuries. The three types of influenza, A, B and C can be distinguished by serological responses to their internal proteins. From a medical poin...

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) (Figure 1a) is the major catechin component of green tea (Camellia sinensis). It has been shown to have antiviral properties against DNA viruses such as herpes simplex virus (HSV; Herpesviridae) [1], adenovirus (Adenoviridae) [2], human papilloma virus (HPV; Papovaviridae) [3], and hepatitis B virus (HBV; Hepadnaviridae) [4], and RNA viruses such as influenza vir...

Thogoto (THO) virus is a tick-borne virus which shares morphological and genetic features with members of the Orthomyxoviridae family although the viral glycoprotein appears to be related to gp64 of baculoviruses. Characterization of THO virus was undertaken to clarify its taxonomic position. Purified virus preparations contained at least six virus-encoded polypeptides with apparent M(r) values...
