However, the role of sandflies in arbovirus transmission and disease has remained largely unexplored. This study sought to isolate and characterize arboviruses from phlebotomine sandflies from selected pastoral ecozones in the North Rift region of Kenya.MethodsSandflies were collected from selected sites in North Rift Kenya between 2015 and 2018. They were sorted and pooled by sex, site, and collection date. The pools were homogenized and inoculated onto Vero cells for virus isolation. The positive pools were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction targeting different arboviruses. The isolates were further characterized by high-throughput sequencing using Illumina Miseq platform.ResultsApproximately 28,226 sandflies translating to 824 pools were sampled from the selected regions. A total of 11 showed reproducible cytopathic effects on Vero cells. We identified five arboviruses: sindbis (n = 4) from Kacheliba and Baringo, Chandipura (n = 4) from Turkana and Baringo, Koutango (n = 1) and Ntepes (n = 1) from Baringo, and Bogoria (n = 1) from Kacheliba. The percent identities of the identified viruses were approximately 80% to 98% compared to known viruses in GenBank, suggesting that some of them could be novel viruses.ConclusionThis study successfully isolated and characterized five arboviruses from sandflies. The findings suggest that sandflies are potential hosts of a wide range of arboviruses and are therefore important vectors to consider in arbovirus surveillance and evaluated for their ability to transmit them. Further studies are needed to determine the public health importance and extent of exposure of these viruses to humans and livestock populations.","PeriodicalId":73114,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in virology","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140841169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesized that these Nef functions may be partially responsible for the differences in prevalence of viruses from different lineages that co-circulate within an epidemic. Here, we characterized these two Nef activities in HIV-1M isolates from Cameroon, where multiple variants have been circulating since the pandemic’s origin. Single HIV-1 Nef clones from 234 HIV-1-ART naïve individuals living in remote villages and two cosmopolitan cities of Cameroon, sampled between 2000 and 2013, were isolated from plasma HIV RNA and analyzed for their capacity to downregulate HLA-I and CD4 molecules. We found that, despite a large degree of within- and inter- lineage variation, the ability of Nef to downregulate HLA-I was similar across these different viruses. Moreover, Nef-mediated CD4 downregulation activity was also well conserved across the different lineages found in Cameroon. In addition, we observed a trend towards higher HLA-I downregulation activity of viruses circulating in the cosmopolitan cities versus the remote villages, whereas the CD4 downregulation activities were similar across the two settings. Furthermore, we noted a significant decline of HLA-I downregulation activity from 2000 to 2013, providing additional evidence supporting the attenuation of the global HIV-1M population over time. Finally, we identified 18 amino acids associated with differential HLA-I downregulation and 13 amino acids associated with differential CD4 downregulation within the dominant CRF02_AG lineage. Our lack of observation of HIV lineage-related differences in Nef-mediated HLA-I and CD4 downregulation function suggests that these activities do not substantively influence the prevalence of different HIV-1M lineages in Cameroon.","PeriodicalId":73114,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in virology","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141171490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its versatility as a gene delivery platform, the inherent packaging constraint of 4.7 kb imposes restrictions on the range of diseases it can address. In this context, we present findings of an exceptionally compact and long-term promoter that facilitates the expression of larger genes compared to conventional promoters. This compact promoter originated from the genome of the alphaherpesvirus pseudorabies virus, latency-associated promoter 2 (LAP2, 404 bp). Promoter driving an mCherry reporter was packaged into single strand (ss) AAV8 and AAV9 vectors and injected into adult C57BL/6 mice at a dose of 5 x 1011 vg/mouse by single intravenous or intramuscular administration. An ssAAV8 and ssAAV9 vector with elongation factor-1α promoter (EF1α, 1264 bp) was injected side-by-side for comparison. After 400 days, we sacrificed the mice and examined mCherry expression in liver, kidney, heart, lung, spleen, pancreas, skeletal muscle, and brain. We found that LAP2 exhibited robust transgene expression across a wide range of cells and tissues comparable to the larger EF1α, which is currently recognized as a rather potent and ubiquitous promoter. The AAV8-LAP2 and AAV9-LAP2 constructs displayed strong transduction and transcription in liver, kidney, and skeletal muscle on both route of administration. However, no expression was detected in the heart, lung, spleen, pancreas, and brain.

In this review, we summarize HCV assembly to budding, focusing on one of the structural proteins, the core, a viral capsid that binds both the viral genome and host membrane, along with the core-interacting host partners. The HCV core matures in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), localizes at the lipid droplet (LD), and shuttles between the LD and ER to form viral particles. This process is controlled by many host factors known to binds core proteins, such as diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 (DGAT-1), Rab18, μ subunit of the clathrin adaptor protein complex 2 (AP2M1), nuclear pore complex protein 98 (Nup98), Cortactin, group IVA phospholipase A2 (PLA2G4A) etc. Virion budding is thought to involve contributions from endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT), similar to other envelope viruses.
