Animal arterivirus infections.
Highlights
BioMed Research International significant concern about cross species transmission of some of these arteriviruses following xenotransplantation
It is obvious that transplantation of humans with tissues from simian hemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV)-infected baboons or porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV)-infected pigs would result in transfer of a considerable amount of these viruses, which could result in selection of a variant(s) that can replicate in humans
In conjunction with advances in PRRSV molecular virology, reverse genetics and immunology, more and more attention is being directed to development of safe and efficacious vaccines against PRRSV
Summary
BioMed Research International significant concern about cross species transmission of some of these arteriviruses following xenotransplantation. R. Rowland,[3] Hanchun Yang,[4] and Dongwan Yoo[5] The arteriviruses (Family Arteriviridae, Genus Arterivirus) include an interesting group of enveloped positive stranded RNA viruses that infect domestic and wild animals and they share a strikingly similar genome organization and replication strategy to that of coronaviruses, but differ considerably in their genetic complexity and virion architecture.
