Spondweni virus (SPOV or SPONV) is an arbovirus, or arthropod-borne virus, which is a member of the family Flaviviridae and the genus Flavivirus. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is part of the Spondweni serogroup which consists of the Sponweni virus and the Zika virus (ZIKV).
Tissue tropism is the range of cells and tissues of a host that support growth of a particular pathogen, such as a virus, bacterium or parasite. [1] [2] Some bacteria and viruses have a broad tissue tropism and can infect many types of cells and tissues. [1] Other viruses may infect primarily a single tissue. [1]
Canine distemper virus is closely related to measles virus and is the most important viral disease of dogs. The disease (which was first described in 1760, by Edward Jenner, the pioneer of smallpox vaccination, is highly contagious, but is well controlled by vaccination. In the 1990s, thousands of African lions died from the infection, which ...
When a new virus appears, the rush begins to identify and understand it as well as develop appropriate counter-measures to stop its propagation. Along the way, a name is attached to the virus. Since anti-virus software compete partly based on how quickly they react to the new threat, they usually study and name the viruses independently.
Orthopoxvirus is a genus of viruses in the family Poxviridae and subfamily Chordopoxvirinae.Vertebrates, including mammals and humans, and arthropods serve as natural hosts. . There are 12 species in this gen
Faustovirus is a genus of giant virus which infects amoebae associated with humans. The virus was first isolated in 2015 [2] and shown to be around 0.2 micrometers in diameter with a double stranded DNA genome of 466 kilobases predicted to encode 451 proteins.
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), also known as prion diseases, [1] are a group of progressive, incurable, and fatal conditions that are associated with the prion hypothesis and affect the brain and nervous system of many animals, including humans, cattle, and sheep.
A robovirus is a zoonotic virus that is transmitted by a rodent vector (i.e., rodent borne). [1] [2] Roboviruses mainly belong to the virus families Arenaviridae and Hantaviridae. [3] [4] Like arbovirus (arthropod borne) and tibovirus (tick borne) the name refers to its method of transmission, known as its vector.
