Arboviral Encephalitis

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...

Cytomegalovirus Disease

Cytomegalovirus Disease

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...

Viruses of Archaea

Viruses of Archaea

Archaeal viruses play a crucial role in the ecosystems of extremophilic archaea, particularly those belonging to the phyla Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota. By shaping host evolution and facilitating gene transfer, these viruses influence microbial communities and contribute to genetic diversity in extreme environments. The archaea they infect thrive in acidic hot springs and hydrothermal vents characterized by high temperatures and low pH. Archaeal viruses exhibit remarkable structural...

Summary

Genetic evidence of Tula virus (TULV) in Crimea has been found in Altai voles. These TULV strains form a distinct Russia IV lineage, genetically similar to strains from Central Russia.

Area of Science:

Virology
Genetics
Ecology

Context:

Tula virus (TULV) is a hantavirus known to circulate in rodent populations.
Previous studies have identified TULV in various regions of Russia.
The Crimea region's specific viral landscape remained less explored.

Purpose:

To genetically characterize Tula virus (TULV) isolates from the Crimea region.
To determine the phylogenetic relationship of Crimean TULV strains to other known TULV lineages.
To investigate the potential role of Altai voles (Microtus obscurus) as reservoirs for TULV.

Summary:

Four RNA isolates of TULV were identified in Altai voles from Crimea using reverse transcription PCR.
Phylogenetic analysis of S, M, and L segments revealed a distinct genetic lineage, designated Russia IV.

The Crimean TULV strains showed closest relation to TULV lineage Russia I found in common voles from the Tula region.

Impact:

Establishes the presence of TULV in the Crimea region, expanding its known geographical distribution.
Identifies a new genetic lineage (Russia IV) of TULV, contributing to our understanding of hantavirus evolution.
Highlights Altai voles as potential hosts for TULV, informing future epidemiological surveillance and risk assessment.
