| common evolutionary origin of aquareoviruses and orthoreoviruses revealed by genome characterization of golden shiner reovirus, grass carp reovirus, striped bass reovirus and golden ide reovirus (genus aquareovirus, family reoviridae). | full-length and partial genome sequences of four members of the genus aquareovirus, family reoviridae (golden shiner reovirus, grass carp reovirus, striped bass reovirus and golden ide reovirus) were characterized. based on sequence comparison, the unclassified grass carp reovirus was shown to be a member of the species aquareovirus c. the status of golden ide reovirus, another unclassified aquareovirus, was also examined. sequence analysis showed that it did not belong to the species aquareovir ... | 2002 | 12124458 |
| complete characterisation of the american grass carp reovirus genome (genus aquareovirus: family reoviridae) reveals an evolutionary link between aquareoviruses and coltiviruses. | an aquareovirus was isolated from several fish species in the usa (including healthy golden shiners) that is not closely related to members of species aquareovirus a, b and c. the virus, which is atypical (does not cause syncytia in cell cultures at neutral ph), was implicated in a winter die-off of grass carp fingerlings and has therefore been called 'american grass carp reovirus' (agcrv). complete nucleotide sequence analysis of the agcrv genome and comparisons to the other aquareoviruses show ... | 2008 | 18191982 |
| identification of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate as a potential agent for blocking infection by grass carp reovirus. | grass carp reovirus (gcrv), the representative strain of the species aquareovirus c, serves as a model for studying the pathogenesis of aquareoviruses. previously, epigallocatechin gallate (egcg) was shown to inhibit orthoreovirus infection. the aim of this study was to test its potential in blocking infection by gcrv. we show that adhesion to the cik (ctenopharyngodon idellus kidney) cell surface by gcrv particles is inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by egcg, as well as by a crude extract of ... | 2016 | 26758731 |
| isolation and characterization of a novel reovirus from white bream blicca bjoerkna. | during a fish health inspection in the viennese waterway 'old danube', a virus was isolated exclusively from white bream blicca bjoerkna (l.) (formerly abramis bjoerkna l.), one of the most abundant cyprinids present and not known as a host species for this virus. the virus preferentially replicated in cultures of the epithelioma papulosum cyprini cell line where focal plaques of infection developed slowly. examination of infected cell cultures by electron microscopy revealed non-enveloped 60 to ... | 2014 | 25449324 |
| the ns16 protein of aquareovirus-c is a fusion-associated small transmembrane (fast) protein, and its activity can be enhanced by the nonstructural protein ns26. | orthoreoviruses and aquareoviruses represent two different genera in the family reoviridae, but they share many common characteristics in structural organization and pathogenesis. similar to fusogenic orthoreoviruses, aquareoviruses can induce cell-cell fusion and multinucleated syncytium formation. sequence analysis indicated that the nonstructural protein ns16 might be a fusion protein responsible for aquareovirus-c (aqrv-c) syncytiogenesis. to understand the basis of aqrv-c in syncytium forma ... | 2013 | 23201583 |
