Until the morning of 03/31/2020, 719,700 confirmed cases of SARS-Cov-2 were registered worldwide, causing a collapse in the health system of countries such as Italy, Iran and Spain. Brazil has recorded 4,661 confirmed cases, with 165 deaths. The transmission of the virus occurs mainly by contact with secretions and infected people, causing fever, cough, dyspnoea, myalgia or fatigue, sputu…
Genomic and transcriptomic studies of viral pathogens in animals. (AU)
Canine distemper (CD) is a enzootic worldwide carnivorous disease with greater economic importance related to infection in dogs. Considering the contagious nature and high mortality rates of CD infected dogs, becomes necessary to develop affordable tools for diagnosis of the disease. Currently, RT-PCR and RT-qPCR followed by NESTED-PCR from urine samples are used for the diagnosis of dise…
Brazilian poultry farming is one of the most important sectors for the country's economy today and poultry production has increased in recent years. Linked to the high level of production, and inherent to the poultry slaughter process, there is the formation of large volumes of industrial effluents. These effluents can contain a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms, characterizing a he…
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the main drivers of hepatic inflammation worldwide, being a leading contributor to the occurrence of liver cirrhosis, hepatocarcinoma, and consequently liver transplants. Although there is no vaccine available against HCV, advances in direct-acting antiviral therapy have presented above-average results in terms of viral inhibition, despite the fact that t…
Oomycetes are microorganisms from the Kingdom Stramenopila, phylogenetically close to brown algae and diatoms, and that have some fungal-like characteristics, such as heterotrophic nutrition, hyphae-shaped vegetative growth and similar ecological niches. Some species of oomycetes can be plant and animal parasites. Representative of oomycetes, Pythium insidiosum is the etiological agent of…
Porcine Circovirus (PCV, Porcine Circovirus) is a non-enveloped virus belonging to the Circoviridae family and the Circovirus genus. Among the identified species of porcine circovirus (PCV-1, PCV-2, PCV-3 and PCV-4), PCV-2 stands out, which is the pathogenic viral species of clinical importance for swine. When PCV-2 infects swine, it is related to the multisystemic wasting syndrome (MWS),…

In 2016, a new virus from the Circoviridae family named Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV3) was firstly described. Presently, PCV3 has been reported in the North America, Asia, Europe and also in Brazil. This emergent virus has been associated to different reproductive pathologies, as well as respiratory and systemic conditions so far. It has also been found in healthy animals, so, it is very lik…
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) mainly infects monocytic cells and CD4+ T-cells. Once the virus gets into the cell, the genome is converted into DNA by a reverse transcriptase and is integrated into the cellular chromatin. The virus now relies on cellular transcription factors for its replication. Cats are infected during biting incidents. The virus in the saliva of the biting infecte…
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is an exogenous, horizontally-transmissible, worldwide naturally occurring retrovirus of the domestic cat (Felis catus) and some wild felids. Most cats (approximately 60%) mount an effective immune response against the virus and present a regressive FeLV infection outcome. In approximately 30% of infected cats, the virus establishes persistent infection (progr…
