Bats harbor many #zoonotic #viruses yet remain asymptomatic; why? @Lucie_Virevolte &co show that #bat GBP5 evolved under +ve selection, driving virus-specific restriction & lineage-specific loss of a #prenylation motif that reshaped #antiviral function @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/48KVgYe

Zoonotic spillover is the successful transmission of a pathogenic entity—such as a virus, bacterium, or parasite—from a non-human animal reservoir into a human population. This rare but consequential event occurs when a pathogen successfully crosses the strict biological boundary between species.

We found that receptor-binding site of this H5N1 hemagglutinin was already occupied by an 2-3-linked sialic acid and that this glycan emanated from asparagine N169 of a neighboring protomer on hemagglutinin itself.

The #host #tropism of current #zoonotic #H7N9 viruses depends mainly on an acid-labile #hemagglutinin with a single amino acid #mutation in the #stalk region

Source: PLoS Pathogens, AbstractThe incidence of human infection by zoonotic avian influenza viruses, especially H5N1 and H7N9 viruses, has increased. Current zoonotic H7N9 avian influenza viruses (identified since 2013) emerged during reassortment of viruses belonging to different subtypes. Despite analyses of…

Farmed #fur #animals harbour #viruses with #zoonotic #spillover potential, Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07901-3

We identified 7 species of #coronaviruses, expanding their known host range, & documented cross-species transmission of a novel #canine respiratory coronavirus to raccoon dogs & of #bat HKU5-like CoV to #mink, present at a high abundance in lung tissues. 3 subtypes of #influenza A virus—#H1N2, #H5N6 & #H6N2—were detected in #lungs of guinea pig, mink and #muskrat, respectively.

https://globalnews.ca/news/10694129/oropouche-fever-sloths-insects-canadian-travel/ “An insect-transmitted virus.. is spreading at an “unprecedented” rate, with health officials warning that it is emerging in parts of the world, including Europe, where it has never been detected.

#Oropouche fever, a potentially fatal #zoonotic disease, is transmitted by tiny flies called #midges and #mosquitoes.. There is currently no vaccine for the virus, which is part of the same family of diseases as #Zika and #dengue fever.”

What is the #relationship between #viral #prospecting in #animals and medical #countermeasure development? MedRxIV: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.08.09.24311747v1

With #Filoviridae as a case study, we show there is little #evidence to suggest that viral prospecting has accelerated countermeasure development or that systematically discovering novel #zoonotic viruses in animal hosts before they cause human outbreaks has been feasible.

Levels are indicators that a #zoonotic #influenza virus #outbreak may be an increasing human health #threat, either because opportunities for it to evolve are increasing or because there is evidence that it has already begun to evolve. All levels are pre-pandemic events.

A(#H2N2) and A(#H3N2) #influenza #pandemics elicited durable cross-reactive and protective #antibodies against avian #N2 #neuraminidases, Nat Commun.: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-49884-9

The anti-AIV N2 antibodies titers correlate with antibody titers to the 1957 N2, suggesting that #exposure to the A(H2N2) virus contribute to this reactivity. These findings underscore the critical role of neuraminidase #immunity in #zoonotic and pandemic influenza #risk #assessment.

...H7N9 infection in turkeys can generate novel variants with increased risk through altered pathogenicity & potential HA #antigenic escape. These findings emphasise requirement for enhanced surveillance & understanding of A/Anhui/1/13-lineage viruses & their risk to different species.
