Influenza A virus is a negative-sense single-stranded RNA that belongs to Orthomyxoviridae family. Based on the antigenic characteristics of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) influenza viruses are classified into multiple subtypes. H9N2 low pathogenic Avian Viruses (AIVs) one widely spread in poultry, which can pose threat humans by directly infecting or providing internal genes for various zoonotic avian strains. It has potential indirectly participate becoming an AIV causes human pandemic. When enters host, innate immune system activated first pattern recognition receptors. The cytokines produced at site infection recruit cells antigen-presenting those subsequently transmit signals adaptive (i.e. B T cells), trigger specific humoral cellular responses. As result, immunity clear infected via antibody-mediated neutralization cytotoxicity, respectively. Understanding how chicken systems respond top priority effectively controlling virus's designing vaccines. In this review, we comprehensively discuss role defending against H9N2, clarify current limitations understanding responses virus, thereby directions future research as respiratory mucosal been stagnant more than 20 years especially responds influenza.

AbstractThe H9N2 subtype of avian influenza virus (AIV) is widely distributed among poultry and wild birds also a threat to humans. During AIV active surveillance in Liaoning province from 2015 2016, we identified ten strains exhibiting different lethality chick embryos. Two representative strains, A/chicken/China/LN07/2016 (CKLN/07) A/chicken/China/LN17/2016 (CKLN/17), with similar genomic background but embryo lethality, were chosen evaluate the molecular basis for this difference. A series reassortants between CKLN/07 CKLN/17 generated their was assessed. We found that isoleucine (I) residue at position 137 (H3 numbering) hemagglutinin (HA) responsible virus. Further studies revealed threonine (T) I mutation HA enhanced viral replication vitro vivo. Moreover, HA-T137I substitution increased guinea pig transmission efficiency. critical α2,6-linked sialic acid binding preference activation stability Our findings demonstrated HA-137I key marker mammalian adaptation AIV.

Abstract Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) is a well-established receptor for several MERS-related coronaviruses (MERSr-CoVs) isolated from humans, camels, pangolins, and bats (1–6). However, the usage of many genetically diverse bat MERSr-CoVs with broad geographical distributions remains poorly understood. Recent studies have identified angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as an entry multiple merbecovirus clades. Here, using viral antigen pseudovirus-based functional assays, we demonstrate that merbecoviruses HKU25 clade previously thought to utilize DPP4 (7), employ ACE2 their receptor. Cryo-electron microscopy analysis revealed HsItaly2011 VsCoV-a7 recognize binding mode sharing similarity HKU5 but involving remodeled interfaces distinct ortholog selectivity, suggesting common evolutionary origin utilization these two clades viruses. EjCoV-3, strain closely related DPP4-using MERSr-CoV BtCoV-422, exhibited relatively tropism could human albeit suboptimally. Despite differences in mechanisms spike proteolytic activation compared MERS-CoV, viruses remain sensitive broadly neutralizing antibodies inhibitors. These findings redefine our understanding evolution among highlight versatility coronaviruses. Significance unexpectedly convergently evolved modes across three continents, challenging dogma primary distributed Eurasia host through shared HKU5, prior findings. reveal prevalence show EjCoV-3 preadapted use ACE2, potential spillover. Our data provide blueprint barrier determinants which will facilitate global surveillance development countermeasures against characterized merbecoviruses.

RNA interference (RNAi) is a key antiviral immune mechanism in eukaryotes. However, RNAi vertebrates has only been observed cells with poor interferon systems or viral suppressors of (VSR) deficiency virus infections. Our research discovered that infecting macrophages wild-type coronavirus (Infectious bronchitis virus, IBV) and influenza viruses (Avian AIV) can trigger immunity produce certain amount virus-derived siRNA (vsiRNA). These vsiRNAs have an inhibitory effect on the carry out targeted silencing along Dicer-Ago2-vsiRNA axis. Notably, these are distributed throughout virus's entire genome, predilection for A/U at 5' 3' termini vsiRNA. In addition, Dicer cleavage produces vsiRNA based RWM motif, where R represents A/G, W A/C, M A/U. We also avian LGP2 MDA5 proteins positively impact expression protein subtype "DicerM." Most importantly, PS-vsiRNA plasmid combined nanomaterial polyetherimide (PEI) showed excellent anti-virus activity specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chickens. findings show production somatic cells, which great significance application therapeutic vaccines.

The raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides), classified in the order Carnivora within family Canidae, is native to East Asia and widely distributed throughout Japan due its adaptability various environments. Despite close relationship between dogs other animals, viruses infecting have not been thoroughly investigated Japan. In this study, we performed metatranscriptomic analyses using fecal samples collected from latrines of wild two locations on mainland Nearly complete viral genomes were identified, including belonging genus Kobuvirus (CaKoV), an unclassified canine sapelovirus subfamily Ensavirinae (CaSaV), Genius Mamastrovirus (CaAstV), hepe-astro-like virus (bastrovirus-like) (Bast-like V), dicistrovirus (DiciV) Dicistroviridae. Phylogenetic revealed that CaKoV, CaSaV, CaAstV are related strains but form independent clusters specific dogs, suggesting they evolved host population. Bast-like V, detected for first time showed high sequence identity with previously identified Chinese shrews. shared insectivorous nature these hosts silico range predictions suggest Vs may originate arthropod viruses. Although DiciV likely dietary origin hosts, large number reads phylogenetic clustering DiciVs mammalian indicate need assess their potential infectivity mammals risk spillover. These findings harbor endemic population act as vectors unknown spillover risk.
