Rabies01:28

Rabies

Rabies is a lethal zoonotic disease caused by a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus of the Lyssavirus genus, within the family Rhabdoviridae. Its primary mode of transmission to humans is through bites or saliva-contaminated scratches from infected mammals such as dogs, bats, raccoons, or foxes. Transmission can also occur if infectious saliva contacts abraded skin or intact mucous membranes, including the conjunctiva.Viral Entry and Early ReplicationOnce introduced at the bite or scratch...
Yellow Fever01:18

Yellow Fever

Yellow fever is a viral hemorrhagic disease caused by the yellow fever virus (YFV), a member of the Flaviviridae family. It is transmitted primarily by Aedes and Haemagogus mosquitoes in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and South America. After transmission through a mosquito bite, the virus initially replicates in skin-resident immune cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages. These cells then migrate to the lymph nodes, where viral replication increases, eventually leading to...
Arboviral Encephalitis01:25

Arboviral Encephalitis

Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...
Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease01:29

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a widespread pathogen that primarily targets infants and young children but also poses a serious health risk to elderly and immunocompromised individuals. Belonging to the Pneumoviridae family, RSV is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus within the Pneumovirus genus. Its global health burden is significant, with millions of cases annually resulting in hospitalizations and mortality, particularly in resource-limited settings. Although most...
Influenza01:27

Influenza

Influenza is an acute, highly communicable viral disease that affects the respiratory tract and is responsible for seasonal epidemics worldwide. Influenza A is the most prevalent type associated with widespread outbreaks and is subtyped based on two surface glycoproteins: hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), as in H1N1. These glycoproteins are essential for viral infectivity, transmission, and immune recognition. Transmission occurs primarily through respiratory droplets and contaminated...

    Summary

    Emergent hantaviruses, Caño Delgadito virus and Mamporal virus, are widespread in Venezuelan plains. Further investigation is needed for Zulia state due to serological evidence of their presence.

    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Epidemiology
    • Molecular Biology

    Background:

    • Recent years show a global increase in infectious diseases from novel or reemergent pathogens.
    • Hantaviruses, including Caño Delgadito virus and a novel Mamporal virus, are emerging in Venezuela.
    • These viruses are phylogenetically linked to South American hantaviruses causing pulmonary syndrome.

    Discussion:

    • Caño Delgadito virus and Mamporal virus strains show wide distribution across Venezuelan plains.
    • No clinical cases or isolates have been reported in Zulia state, Venezuela.
    • Serological data suggests potential hantavirus presence in Zulia, warranting further study.

    Key Insights:

    • Nucleotide sequence analysis confirms widespread distribution of Caño Delgadito virus in Venezuelan plains.

  • Novel Mamporal virus, closely related to South American pulmonary syndrome hantaviruses, also shows similar distribution.
  • Serological evidence indicates a need to investigate hantavirus presence in Zulia state.

    • Outlook:

    • Future research should focus on Zulia state to confirm or refute hantavirus presence.
    • Understanding the distribution and genetic relatedness of these hantaviruses is crucial for public health.
    • Continued surveillance for emergent hantaviruses in Venezuela is essential.
