Insights

Poxviruses, like monkeypox virus (MPV), affect many animal species. This review details poxvirus pathology and pathogenesis in agriculturally important animals, aiding in understanding and managing disease outbreaks.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Pathology
  • Virology
  • Comparative Pathology

Background:

  • Zoonotic poxviruses, including monkeypox virus (MPV), are gaining attention due to global outbreaks.
  • Discontinuation of smallpox vaccination has increased susceptibility to orthopoxviruses.
  • Poxviridae infect a wide range of vertebrate and invertebrate species.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathology and pathogenesis of poxviruses.
  • Focus on species of agricultural significance.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of poxvirus infections.
  • Analysis of clinical signs and histologic lesions.
  • Comparative analysis across different animal species.

Main Results:

  • Poxviral infections exhibit diverse clinical signs and lesions.
  • Species-specific variations in poxvirus pathology exist.
  • Understanding pathogenesis is crucial for disease management.

Conclusions:

  • Poxviruses pose a significant threat to agricultural animal health.
  • Further research into species-specific poxvirus interactions is warranted.
  • Effective disease surveillance and control strategies are essential.

Subviral Agents01:29

Subviral Agents

Subviral agents are infectious entities that resemble viruses but lack one or more viral components, such as a capsid or essential replication machinery. These agents include viroids, prions, and satellites, each possessing distinct structural and functional characteristics that influence their mode of infection and replication.Viroids are the simplest subviral agents, consisting of circular, single-stranded RNA molecules without a protein coat. They exclusively infect plants, relying entirely...

Microorganisms in Agriculture and Food industry

Microorganisms play a crucial role in agriculture and the food industry, contributing to soil fertility, crop protection, and food production. Their functions range from nitrogen fixation and biopesticide production to fermentation and food preservation, making them indispensable to sustainable farming and food safety.Role in AgricultureNitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium (symbiotic) and Azotobacter (free-living), convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia through biological nitrogen...

Viral Recombination00:57

Viral Recombination

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.
