The association between cellular and viral (NSPs) proteins was examined by ELISA, epifluorescence and confocal microscopy techniques. It was observed that NSP1 protein interacts with RXR, NSP1, and NSP3 with PPARγ, NSP2 with p-IKKα/β and NSP5 with NFκB proteins. We have found that phosphorylated PPARγ is localized in cytoplasm and transcriptional activity of PPRE is diminished. These results lead to the conclusion, that RRV activates the proinflammatory pathway, increasing the expression of NFκB and possibly by PPARγ phosphorylation, its translocation to the nucleus is impeded, thus inactivating the proinflammatory pathway.

During 2017-18, a total of forty eight cloacal swab samples were collected from apparently healthy migratory birds (painted storks, n = 32 and spot-billed pelicans, n = 16) at the Telineelapuram bird sanctuary of Andhra Pradesh, India. NDV was isolated from a spot-billed pelican (NDV/Pelican/Telineelapuram/2018) which is genetically identical to that isolated from a naturally infected backyard chicken flock (NDV/Chicken/SKLM-1/2018). The isolates are found to be velogenic based on mean death time, intracerebral pathogenicity index and the putative fusion protein cleavage site (112R-R-R-K-R-F117). Phylogenetic analysis based on full-length fusion gene classified the isolates into genotype XIII, sub-genotype 2.2, however these isolates demonstrated multiple amino acid substitutions in the critical domains of F and HN proteins. The pelican strain (MIG-9) was tested for its pathogenic and transmission potential in three-weeks-old broiler chickens and the isolate proved to be highly virulent to chickens. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first evidence for the role of spot-billed pelicans in the maintenance of virulent NDV and its transmission to chickens in India.

Although Ethiopia is a major sugarcane producer, and virus-like symptoms are frequently observed in sugarcane fields, there is a complete lack of information as to the occurrence, distribution and molecular properties of SCBV. This study was aimed to identify and characterize SCBV isolates in Ethiopia using molecular methods. Out of 292 leaf samples collected and tested by PCR, 76 samples (26% incidence level) were found SCBV-positive. Nucleotide sequence analysis results showed that three Ethiopian isolates (SCBV-EtS3, SCBV-EtS6 and SCBV-EtC10) shared high level of nucleotide identity (99.5-100%) among themselves and with SCBV isolates from China (accession numbers MH037614 and MH037915). Another isolate, SCBV-EtC2, shared maximum identity of 78% with the other three SCBV isolates from Ethiopia and 99.8% with SCBV isolates from China (KM214357 and KM214307). Based on phylogenetic analysis, isolates from Ethiopia were segregated into two different clusters. Isolates SCBV-EtS3, SCBV-EtS6 and SCBV-EtC10 clustered with SCBV-Q group and SCBV-EtC2 with SCBV-H group. This study provides information on the occurrence of SCBV for the first time in Ethiopia and also contributes to the understanding of the genetic diversity of SCBV.

It moderates the course of influenza virus type A (IAV) infection, however, its impact on the induction of virus-neutralizing antibodies (VNAbs) is not understood in details. Here, we examined the influence of low (10 mg/kg) or high (60 mg/kg) doses of OS on the viral titer in lungs of BALB/c mice infected with 0.5 LD50 of IAV and on the level of VNAbs. Prophylactic application of OS (6 h before the infection) delayed the increase of viral titer in lungs with a lower peak in comparison to non-treated control mice. After therapeutic OS application (44 h after the infection), maximum of virus titer did not significantly change. However, the induction of VNAbs strongly decreased, to 16.7%-18.1% of the control, after preventive application of high OS dose. A minimal decrease of VNAbs titers was observed in groups of mice treated with low dose of OS applied therapeutically. They lowered to 91.1% / 14 or to 94.1% / 21 days post infection (p.i.) of VNAbs titers of non-treated control mice. In all other groups, levels of VNAbs titers dropped to 26.5-53.7% of those of non-treated mice. It should be noted that VNAbs titers were in direct proportion to maximal virus titers in mouse lungs of corresponding groups. In summary, after OS application the clinical symptoms of the disease were milder or non-observable in all OS-treated groups, but the lowering of VNAbs titers was dependent on the OS dose and interval between drug app-lication and the start of infection.
