Temporal and spatial fluctuations in the genotype distribution of human rotaviruses are
continuously observed in surveillance studies. New genotypes, such as G9 and G12, have …

Enterically infecting viruses are ubiquitous agents, mostly inducing silent infections. Several
are however associated with significant diseases in man from diarrhoea and vomiting to …

Recently, a classification system was proposed for rotaviruses in which all the 11 genomic
RNA segments are used (Matthijnssens et al. in J Virol 82: 3204–3219, 2008). Based on …

A novel bluetongue virus (BTV) termed Toggenburg orbivirus (TOV) was detected in goats
from Switzerland by using real-time reverse transcription–PCR. cDNA corresponding to the …

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) mariculture has been associated with epidemics of
infectious diseases that threaten not only local production, but also wild fish coming into …

The genus Orbivirus includes both insect and tick-borne viruses. The orbivirus genome,
composed of 10 segments of dsRNA, encodes 7 structural proteins (VP1–VP7) and 3 non …

This paper reports significant improvements in the efficacy of sequence-independent
amplification and quality of sequencing of viruses with segmented double-stranded RNA …

To determine the extent to which influenza viruses jump between human and swine hosts,
we undertook a large-scale phylogenetic analysis of pandemic A/H1N1/09 (H1N1pdm09) …

The dsRNA viruses represent a large, diverse group of pathogens (affecting a very wide
range of host species), several of which are of medical, veterinary or agricultural importance …

The genetic study of double-stranded (ds) RNA viruses by sequence analyses of full-length
genome segments, or entire viral genomes, has been restricted by the technical difficulties …
