This document discusses nematode-virus transmission. It reports that nematodes of the order Dorylaimida were first found to transmit virus particles that infect grapevines. There are two main types of viruses transmitted: NEPO viruses, which are polyhedral shaped and 30nm in size and transmitted by Xiphinema and Longidorus nematodes; and NETU viruses, which are tubular, 180-210nm in size, and transmitted by Trichodorus and Paratrichodorus nematodes. The document also outlines the vector specificity of certain nematode species to different viruses, the steps involved in virus transmission, and examples of specific nematode-virus relationships that cause various plant diseases.
The rhinovirus (from the Greek ῥίς rhis "nose", gen ῥινός rhinos "of the nose", and the Latin vīrus) is the most common viral infectious agent in humans and is the predominant cause of the common cold. Rhinovirus infection proliferates in temperatures of 33–35 °C (91–95 °F), the temperatures found in the nose. Rhinoviruses belong to the genus Enterovirus in the family Picornaviridae.
The three species of rhinovirus (A, B, and C) include around 160 recognized types of human rhinovirus that differ according to their surface proteins (serotypes).[1] They are lytic in nature and are among the smallest viruses, with diameters of about 30 nanometers. By comparison, other viruses, such as smallpox and vaccinia, are around ten times larger at about 300 nanometers; while flu viruses are around 80–120 nm.
African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma brucei and transmitted by the bite of the tsetse fly. Diagnosis involves microscopic examination of chancre fluid, lymph node aspirates, blood, bone marrow, or cerebrospinal fluid for the presence of trypomastigotes. Serological tests like CATT, IHA, ELISA can also be used for diagnosis. Untreated, the infection can spread to the central nervous system and cause neurological complications.
Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense is a protozoan parasite and causative agent of East African sleeping sickness in humans. It is transmitted by the tsetse fly and progresses from an initial chancre at the site of the tsetse bite to invasion of the central nervous system. Clinical signs include headaches, fever, and changes in behavior and motor function that can lead to coma and death if untreated. Diagnosis involves microscopic examination of blood, lymph, or cerebrospinal fluid to demonstrate the presence of the parasite. Treatment depends on the stage of infection, but may include pentamidine, suramin, eflornithine, or melarsoprol. Control efforts also focus on

Lecture 4 Exercises for herpes 1&2.pptxhakim hassan
Varicella-zoster virus causes chickenpox (varicella) during primary infection and shingles (herpes zoster) during reactivation from latency. It spreads via respiratory droplets or direct contact with skin lesions. After primary infection, the virus remains latent in dorsal root ganglia. Reactivation results in a painful skin rash localized to an area supplied by a single dermatome. Complications can include postherpetic neuralgia. Diagnosis is made by visualizing virus particles or inclusion bodies in skin lesions, viral isolation in cell culture, or serologic detection of antibodies.

The results identified that the pooled sample was infected with tobacco ringspot virus, tobacco streak virus, tobacco necrosis virus, and tobacco mosaic virus.
This document summarizes research on plant viral suppressors of RNA silencing. It begins by providing background on how RNA silencing was discovered as an antiviral defense mechanism in plants. Most plant viruses encode suppressor proteins that interfere with this silencing pathway. The review then describes the major functional assays that are used to identify these viral suppressor proteins, including transient expression assays using Agrobacterium infiltration and assays to test whether viral infection or expression of a candidate protein can reverse an established silenced phenotype. It focuses on the currently known viral suppressors from different plant virus families and the steps in the RNA silencing pathway that they target.
Viruses in the genus Tospovirus have a tripartite RNA genome consisting of a large (L), medium (M), and small (S) RNA. The L RNA encodes the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, while the M RNA encodes two structural glycoproteins and a movement protein. The S RNA encodes the nucleocapsid protein and a silencing suppressor protein. Tospoviruses are transmitted by thrips vectors and cause significant crop losses worldwide by infecting a wide range of plant hosts. Management is challenging due to the broad host ranges of the viruses and their vectors.

- In the 1930s, it was shown that viruses are particulate and the virus particles were termed "virions". Tobacco mosaic virus was also purified.
- Three basic groups of viruses were identified: RNA viruses, DNA viruses
Viral Haemorrhagic Fevers with special reference to DengueSayantan Banerjee
Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers (VHFs) are a group of illnesses caused by distinct families of viruses that cause a severe multisystem syndrome affecting multiple organ systems. They damage the vascular system and impair the body's ability to regulate itself, with many causing severe life-threatening disease. The prototypical VHF is Yellow Fever, but Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome caused by Hantaan, Seoul, Dobrava, and Puumala viruses are also considered VHFs. The viruses are RNA viruses enveloped in a lipid coating and depend on an animal or insect host.
This document discusses the identification and classification of plant viruses that can be transmitted through seeds. It provides background on how inadequate identification early on led to confusion, but the establishment of standardized criteria and rules by the ICTV has helped create order. Over 200 virus diseases are known to be seed-transmitted. The document lists the taxonomic positions of many seed-transmitted viruses and viroids according to the latest ICTV classification, organized by order, family, and genus. It also discusses the identification process for seed-transmitted viruses and how classification assessments are made.
Next generation sequencing for Identification and Characterization of plant v...Malyaj R Prajapati
Plant viruses have always been a challenge to plant growth and crop production in several parts of the world. Virus can be transmitted by vegetative propagation, fungi, nematodes, aphids, leaf hoppers, plant hoppers, beetles, white flies, and so forth. Viruses symptoms vary with the infecting virus and the infected part which includes leaf spots, leaf blights, root rots, fruit rots, fruit spots, wilt, dieback and decline. It is causing economic losses by reducing crop quality, quantity and nutritional value. Thus, their reliable detection is of a crucial importance for plant protection. While the adoption of molecular techniques such as RT-PCR has increased the speed and accuracy of virus diagnostics, such techniques only allow the detection of known viruses, i.e., each test is specific to one or a small number of related viruses. Therefore, unknown virus can be missed and testing can be slow and expensive if molecular tests are unavailable. NGS technology is one of the most popular tools for virus diagnostics. It is highly efficient, rapid diagnostics tools, and low-cost high-throughput and deep RNA sequencing. Due to the capacity to target multiple unique signature loci of virus in an infected plant metagenome and also useful for discovery of new virus and new hosts. It is including virus genome sequencing, discovery and detection, ecology and epidemiology, replication and transcription. By using deep RNA-seq requires fast and robust bioinformatics methods to enable host sequence removal and virus classification. Future developments in this area, including the use of bioinformatics tools for identification and characterization of multiple plant virus and analysis of diversity of plant viruses.

This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Conclusion
4. ICTV reported that the genus Torradovirus,
a group of newly emerging plant viruses
Torrado: derived from Tomato torrado virus (ToTV), the type species of the
Torradovirus genus. In Spanish, torrado means toasted to refer to the severe
necrosis (burnt-like phenotype) observed in the disease induced by ToTV.
Thompson et al. (2017)
38. Torradovirus host range
ToTV natural infection on tomato and also systemically infects eggplant (cv.
Black Beauty) and pepper (cv. Italian Long Sweet) (Amari et al., 2008). ToNDV
can also infect eggplant, pepper and tomatillo (Physalis philadelphica)
(Larsen et al., 2009)
39. Vector transmission
Torradoviruses (ToTV, ToMarV, SCLSV and ToChV) are transmitted by three whitefly species
in a semi-persistent manner, Trialeurodes vaporariorum, Bemisia tabaci and Trialeurodes
abutilonea (Verbeek et al., 2014; Lecoq et al., 2016).
Carrot torrado virus 1 was demonstrated to be transmitted by
three different species of aphids (Rozado-Aguirre et al., 2016).
47. Detection and Identification of torradoviruses
RNA-based (RT-PCR)
DAS-ELISA (Pospieszny et al., 2010)
Hybridization with dioxigenin-labeled RNA-riboprobes (Da Silva et al., 2014)
Primer pair Torrado-1F/Torrado-1R (designed on RNA1 sequences)
Primer pair Torrado-2F/Torrado-2R (designed on RNA2) (Carvajal-Yepes et al., 2014)
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) (Verbeek et al., 2014)
48. Relevance of torradovirus infections in the field
Lettuce necrotic leaf curl virus isolate was found in 2013 in lettuce plants with typical
symptoms subjected for analysis at the Dutch Plant Protection Service (Verbeek et al., 2014).
During 2014, field surveillance was carried out for Carrot torrado virus 1 in the North of
England (Fox et al., 2014). Carrot torrado virus 1 was detected in 14–25% of plants tested.
In a recent survey on cassava viruses in Colombia, >50% of plants collected in the North
Coast region during 2014 were infected with cassava torrado-like virus (Cuellar et al., 2014).
Editor's Notes
Torradovirus is a genus of viruses in the order Picornavirales, in the family Secoviridae. Plants serve as natural hosts. There are currently six species in this genus.
Secoviridae
Tomato torrado virus infection on tomato leaves with necrotic spots surrounded by light green or yellow area beginning at the base of a leaflet.
Symptoms of Tomato marchitez virus in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
Tomato marchitez virus in tomato fruits symptoms are necrotic rings and patches and Electron microscope image of the virus.
Symptoms of squash chlorotic leaf spot virus infection (a) in the original squash plant and (b) after mechanical inoculation to zucchini squash.
(c) Virus particles observed in a leaf-dip preparation of an infected zucchini squash
Lettuce necrotic leaf curl virus, disease symptoms observed in lettuce, comprising severe necrosis and leaf curling.
Carrot torrado virus 1 (a) Cross section of carrot root showing internal necrosis around the root core.
(b) Internal necrosis of carrot root along the root core. (c) External necrosis of the root tip. (d) Unaffected carrot
Tomato chocolate spot disease: symptoms similar to torrado disease, and locally known as mancha de chocolate (or chocolate spot), was observed in Guatemala.
Symptoms and transmission characteristics of Tomato necrotic dwarf virus resemble those of other members of the emerging genus, Torradovirus.
Torradoviruses possess small spherical virions, approximately 30 nm in diameter and have a bipartite genome and three capsid proteins 23, 26, and 35 kDa.
Two single-stranded positive-sense RNA molecules RNA1 and RNA2.
