Full genome sequence analysis of African swine fever virus isolates from Cameroon

L. C. Goatley, G. Freimanis, C. Tennakoon, T. J. Foster, M. Quershi, L. K. Dixon, C. Batten, J. H. Forth, A. Wade, C. Netherton

The paper reports three full genome sequences of African swine fever virus isolates from Cameroon and identifies novel genetic variations that could aid molecular epidemiology studies.

The mechanical arthropod vector Stomoxys calcitrans influences the outcome of lumpy skin disease virus infection in cattle

C. G. Cook, H. Munyanduki, P. C. Fay, N. Wijesiriwardana, K. Moffat, S. Gubbins, S. Armstrong, C. Batten, I. Dietrich, D. R. Greaves, K. Darpel, P. M. Beard

This study investigates how the mechanical transmission of lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) by the stable fly Stomoxys calcitrans affects disease progression in cattle, finding that saliva and bite trauma accelerate disease kinetics.

Natural reassortment of a segmented RNA arbovirus illustrates plasticity of phenotype in the arthropod vector and mammalian host in vivo

C. J. Sanders, E. Veronesi, P. Z. Rajko-Nenow, P. P. C. Mertens, C. Batten, S. Gubbins, K. E. Darpel, S. Carpenter

This study investigates reassortment in bluetongue virus, showing how it affects vector competence and virulence in natural settings.

A novel strain of lumpy skin disease virus causes clinical disease in cattle in Hong Kong

J. Flannery, B. Shih, I. R. Haga, M. Ashby, A. Corla, S. King, G. L. Freimanis, N. Polo, A. Tse, C. Brackman, J. Chan, P. Pun, A. D. Ferguson, A. Law, S. J. Lycett, , P. Beard

This paper reports the first detection of lumpy skin disease virus in Hong Kong, identifying a novel strain genetically distinct from previous outbreaks.

Quantifying and modelling the acquisition and retention of lumpy skin disease virus by haematophagus insects reveals clinically but not subclinically-affected cattle are promoters of viral transmission and key targets for control of disease outbreaks.

B. Sanz-Bernardo, I. R. Haga, N. Wijesiriwardana, S. Basu, W. Larner, A. V. Diaz, Z. Langlands, E. Denison, J. Stoner, M. White, C. Sanders, P. C. Hawes, A. J. Wilson, J. Atkinson, C. Batten, , P. M. Beard

This study quantifies LSDV acquisition and retention by vector insects and models transmission, finding clinical cattle are key promoters of viral spread and highlighting the need for targeted control strategies.

Evolutionary stasis of an RNA virus indicates arbovirus re-emergence triggered by accidental release

D. J. Pascall, K. Nomikou, E. Breard, S. Zientara, A. da Silva Filipe, B. Hoffmann, M. Jacquot, J. B. Singer, K. De Clercq, A. Botner, C. Sailleau, C. Viarouge, C. Batten, G. Puggioni, C. Ligios, , M. Palmarini

This study uses genomic data to show that a BTV-8 virus strain re-emerged in 2015 without significant evolution, suggesting accidental release rather than natural persistence.
