Viral Recombination00:57

Viral Recombination

25.3K
Cells are sometimes infected by more than one virus at once. When two viruses disassemble to expose their genomes for replication in the same cell, similar regions of their genomes can pair together and exchange sequences in a process called recombination. Alternatively, viruses with segmented genomes can swap segments in a process called reassortment.

Retroviruses02:33

Retroviruses

15.0K
Retroviruses and retrotransposons both insert copies of their genetic elements into the genome of the host cell. Thus, the viral genes are passed on when the host genome is replicated or translated. A typical retroviral DNA sequence contains 3-4 genes that encode the different proteins required for its structural assembly and function as a molecular parasite. This DNA is transcribed into a single mRNA, which is very similar in structure to conventional mRNAs, i.e., it is capped at the 5’...

Bacterial Phylum Spirochaetes

894
Spirochetes, unique bacteria in the phylum Spirochaetes, are gram-negative, motile, tightly coiled, slender, and flexible. They inhabit aquatic sediments and animals, with some causing diseases like syphilis. Spirochetes are classified into eight genera based on habitat, pathogenicity, phylogeny, and characteristics.Their distinctive motility arises from endoflagella, located within the cell’s periplasm. These endoflagella anchor at the cell poles and extend along the cell length, encased...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer01:03

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

6.4K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Rabies persists in Europe, with limited human cases due to strict prophylactic and veterinary control measures. Animal reservoirs like dogs, foxes, and bats maintain rabies circulation, posing risks through imported cases.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Public Health
  • Zoonotic Diseases

Background:

  • Rabies remains a concern in Europe, despite control efforts.
  • Human rabies incidence is low (<5 cases/year) due to prophylactic treatments and animal population controls.
  • Key animal reservoirs include dogs, foxes, raccoon dogs, and bats across Europe.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the ongoing presence and epidemiological factors of rabies in Europe in 2005.
  • To highlight the role of animal reservoirs and imported cases in rabies epidemiology.
  • To emphasize the challenges in maintaining rabies-free status and informing medical decisions.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of rabies incidence data in humans and animals in Europe.
  • Identification of primary animal reservoirs and their geographical distribution.
  • Review of imported rabies cases and their implications for disease control.

Main Results:

  • Limited human rabies cases (<5/year) reported in Europe.
  • Established animal reservoirs: dogs (Eastern Europe), foxes (Central/Eastern Europe), raccoon dogs (Northeastern Europe), bats (nationwide).
  • Annual reports of imported animal rabies cases indicate border permeability and travel-related risks.

Conclusions:

  • Strict prophylactic and veterinary measures are crucial for limiting human rabies.
  • Animal reservoirs pose an ongoing threat, particularly through imported cases.
  • Maintaining rabies-free status in Western Europe is challenged by imported cases, complicating clinical management.
