Abstract Objective The mosquito transmitted RNA virus dengue virus (DENV) shows significant variation as a consequence of the lack of proofreading activity of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that synthesizes new virus genomes. How this variation affects DENV replication, and how this in turn impacts drug development remains largely unknown. Given the technical limitations in working with large numbers of isolates few studies have sought to investigate this area. This study used a panel of 14 DENV isolates of different serotypes and origins to determine how much virus replication in Aedes albopictus C6/36 cells was affected by DENV variability. Results The results showed that there was considerable variation, with peak titers ranging from 6Log10 to 8Log10, and maximum titer being reached from day 3 to day 9 post infection. While strains from DENV 1 and 4 serotypes showed considerable uniformity, DENV 2 and 3 strains showed much greater variation. Overall, these results show that serotype specific strain variation can have a significant impact on DENV replication, suggesting that studies either investigating DENV pathogenesis or developing drug therapeutics should consider the contribution of DENV variability.

Abstract: Dengue virus is a single-stranded RNA virus that belongs to Flaviviridae family. This virus causes dengue fever which is transmitted by Aedes aegypti dan Aedes albopictus. There are four serotypes of dengue virus; all of them can cause dengue fever. Understanding the genomics of dengue virus is important for research and diagnostics. The genome of dengue virus is 11 kilo-base long. It consists of 5’-untranslated region (5’-UTR), three structural genes (coding capsid protein, pre-membrane/membrane, and envelope), seven non-structural genes (coding NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, and NS5 proteins) and 3’-UTR. Non-structural genes are encoding proteins of viral RNA replication, interferon response, viral assembly and secretion, endoplasmic reticulum membrane invagination induction, immune-mediator induction, and RNA 5’-caping.Keywords: dengue virus, genome, structural genes, non-structural genes, untranslated region.Abstrak: Virus dengue merupakan virus RNA beruntai tunggal yang termasuk dalam famili Flaviviridae. Virus ini adalah penyebab penyakit demam berdarah dengue yang ditransmisikan melalui nyamuk Aedes aegypti dan Aedes albopictus. Ada empat serotipe virus dengue yang telah dikenal secara luas yang ada semuanya dapat menimbulkan penyakit demam berdarah. Pemahaman tentang genomik virus dengue sangat penting untuk pengembangan penelitian dan juga untuk keperluan diagnostik. Genom virus dengue memiliki panjang 11 kilo basa. Genomnya tersusun atas 5’-untranslated region (5’-UTR), tiga gen struktural (mengodekan protein kapsid, premembran/membran dan amplop), tujuh gen non-struktural (mengodekan protein NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B dan NS5) dan 3’-UTR. Gen-gen non-struktural mengodekan protein untuk replikasi RNA virus, respon interferon, perakitan, sekresi partikel virus, menginduksi invaginasi membran retikulum endoplasma, induksi imunomediator dan penambahan tudung pada ujung 5’ RNA.Kata kunci: virus dengue, genom, gen struktural, gen non-struktural, untranslated region

Dengue fever is a deadly mosquito-borne viral infection. It is caused by the bite of female mosquito by Aedes aegypti and in some cases also by Aedes albopictus, infected with the virus. Dengue virus is RNA virus, which is single-stranded.

Dengue virus (DENV), a member of the Flavivirus genus of the Flaviviridae family, can cause dengue fever (DF) and more serious diseases and thus imposes a heavy burden worldwide. As the main vector of DENV, mosquitoes are a serious hazard. After infection, they induce a complex host–pathogen interaction mechanism. Our goal is to further study the interaction mechanism of viruses in homologous, sensitive, and repeatable C6/36 cell vectors. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology was applied to the host transcript profiles of C6/36 cells infected with DENV2. Then, bioinformatics analysis was used to identify significant differentially expressed genes and the associated biological processes. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to verify the sequencing data. A total of 1239 DEGs were found by transcriptional analysis of Aedes albopictus C6/36 cells that were infected and uninfected with dengue virus, among which 1133 were upregulated and 106 were downregulated. Further bioinformatics analysis showed that the upregulated DEGs were significantly enriched in signaling pathways such as the MAPK, Hippo, FoxO, Wnt, mTOR, and Notch; metabolic pathways and cellular physiological processes such as autophagy, endocytosis, and apoptosis. Downregulated DEGs were mainly enriched in DNA replication, pyrimidine metabolism, and repair pathways, including BER, NER, and MMR. The qRT-PCR results showed that the concordance between the RNA-Seq and RT-qPCR data was very high (92.3%). The results of this study provide more information about DENV2 infection of C6/36 cells at the transcriptome level, laying a foundation for further research on mosquito vector–virus interactions. These data provide candidate antiviral genes that can be used for further functional verification in the future.

Hydrangea ringspot virus (HdRSV) is a plant RNA virus, naturally infecting Hydrangea macrophylla . Here, we report the first genomic sequences of two HdRSV isolates from hydrangea plants in Japan. The overall nucleotide sequences of these Japanese isolates were 96.0 to 96.3% identical to those of known European isolates.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by Dengue virus. In 2016, the number of DHF patients in areas of Health services of Rowosari was 247 cases, IR 289.6/100.000 populations and the highest number of the patients was from Meteseh Village. The most usual mechanism happened in the vertical transmission, transovarial infection, from adult mosquito to the egg. The study was conducted to describe of entomological status of House Index (HI), Container Index (CI), Breteau Index (BI), House index (HI), Ovitrap Index (OI) of larvae as well as transovarial infection in Aedes sp. The research method was descriptive method by conducting test to the entomology status of DHF incidence. Based on the survey in Meteseh sub-village (XVI), a result found that average House Index 8.99%, Container Index 2.88%, Breteau Index 16.40%, HI 8,99 Ovitrap Index 35.46% with the egg density at 1.023 eggs. The identified mosquitoes were 30, and from the identification result of Aedes sp., two Aedes species were found, 28 Aedes aegypti,and only 2 Aedes albopictus. The transovarial infection in Aedes sp. using ELISA method was found 6 mosquito samples which were positive of dengue virus, with the detail in neighborhood 01 (1 sample), neighborhood 02 (2 samples), neighborhood 03 (3 samples). DHF in Meteseh Sub village in Semarang City was probably happened because correlated with transovarial infection.

AbstractFrequencies of CpG and UpA dinucleotides in most plant RNA virus genomes show degrees of suppression comparable to those of vertebrate RNA viruses. While pathways that target CpG and UpAs in HIV-1 and echovirus 7 genomes and restrict their replication have been partly characterised, whether an analogous process drives dinucleotide underrepresentation in plant viruses remains undetermined. We examined replication phenotypes of compositionally modified mutants of potato virus Y (PVY) in which CpG or UpA frequencies were maximised in non-structural genes (including helicase and polymerase encoding domains) while retaining protein coding. PYV mutants with increased CpG dinucleotide frequencies showed a dose-dependent reduction in systemic spread and pathogenicity and up to 1000-fold attenuated replication kinetics in distal sites on agroinfiltration of tobacco plants (Nicotiana benthamiana). Even more extraordinarily, comparably modified UpA-high mutants displayed no pathology and over a million-fold reduction in replication. Tobacco plants with knockdown of RDP6 displayed similar attenuation of CpG- and UpA-high mutants suggesting that restriction occurred independently of the plant siRNA antiviral responses. Despite the evolutionary gulf between plant and vertebrate genomes and encoded antiviral strategies, these findings point towards the existence of novel virus restriction pathways in plants functionally analogous to innate defence components in vertebrate cells.
