Outreach Efforts to Prevent Newcastle Disease Outbreaks in Southern California

Alejandra Figueroa, Esteban Escobedo, Marco Solis, Charlene Rivera, Ann Ikelman, Rodrigo A. Gallardo

Summary: In May 2018, a vND outbreak in Southern California highlighted the lack of reliable biosecurity and disease prevention resources in some poultry communities. The University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and the California Department of Food and Agriculture responded by organizing educational events and establishing the Gamefowl Wellness Program to provide training and vaccines to gamefowl breeders. Building trust with the poultry communities allowed for the development of effective outreach strategies.

Spatio-temporal distribution & seasonality of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 & H5N8 outbreaks in India, 2006-2021

Shailesh D. Pawar, Sadhana S. Kode, Sachin S. Keng, Deeksha S. Tare, Satish A. Pande

Summary: This report describes the distribution and seasonality of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks in India from 2006 to 2021. The study found that most outbreaks occurred from post-monsoon to pre-summer season, with a peak in winter, particularly in January. In addition to poultry, other bird species such as owls, Indian peafowls, lesser adjutants, crows, and migratory birds like demoiselle cranes, northern pintails, and bar-headed geese tested positive for HPAI.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza subtype H5Nx clade 2.3.4.4 outbreaks in Dutch poultry farms, 2014-2018: Clinical signs and mortality

Janneke Schreuder, Thijs T. M. Manders, Armin R. W. Elbers, Arco N. van der Spek, Ruth J. Bouwstra, J. Arjan Stegeman, Francisca C. Velkers

Summary: Different subtypes of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses have caused outbreaks in various poultry types worldwide in recent years. Early detection of HPAI virus infection is crucial to reduce virus spread. Monitoring mortality ratio (MR) could be an objective parameter to detect HPAI infection on chicken and Pekin duck farms at an early stage, with clinical signs providing additional indication for farmers and veterinarians.

Genetic Diversity of Newcastle Disease Virus Involved in the 2021 Outbreaks in Backyard Poultry Farms in Tanzania

Charlie F. Amoia, Jean N. Hakizimana, Nisha K. Duggal, Augustino A. Chengula, Mohammed A. Rohaim, Muhammad Munir, James Weger-Lucarelli, Gerald Misinzo

Summary: The genetic nature of currently circulating Newcastle disease virus (NDV) genotypes in backyard poultry flocks in East Africa is poorly understood. This study characterized the NDV genotypes in Tanzania and found that subgenotype VII.2 is the predominant strain in the region. This information is important for the design of vaccines and disease control efforts.

Genetic characterization of dengue virus serotype 2 isolated from dengue fever outbreaks in eastern Uttar Pradesh and western Bihar, India

Hirawati Deval, Sthita P. Behera, Awdhesh Agrawal, Rajeev Singh, Brijranjan Misra, Vanka Janardhan, Gajanan Patil, Kamlesh Sah, Niraj Kumar, Ravishankar Singh, Vijay P. Bondre

Summary: During the dengue outbreaks in 2015 to 2016 in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, only DEN-2 serotype was prevalent, with DV-2 being the main circulating serotype. Genetic analysis revealed the presence of lineages I and III of DV-2 cosmopolitan genotype in 2015, and lineage II in 2016, based on full-length envelope (E) protein sequence derived from patient's sera and DV isolates. The phylogenetic analysis showed a genetic relationship between these DV-2 strains and recent DV-2 genotypes reported in DEN outbreaks in north India, indicating the circulation of cosmopolitan genotype of DV-2 in eastern Uttar Pradesh and western Bihar.

Association of wild bird densities around poultry farms with the risk of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus subtype H5N8 outbreaks in the Netherlands, 2016

Francisca C. Velkers, Thijs T. M. Manders, Johannes C. M. Vernooij, Julia Stahl, Roy Slaterus, J. Arjan Stegeman

Summary: This study compared the densities of high-risk wild bird species around HPAIV-infected farms in the Netherlands with non-infected reference farms, showing higher bird densities around H and R-W farms during the winter months. The results provide insights into the environmental and ecological drivers for wild bird presence, facilitating the identification of priority areas for surveillance and biosecurity measures to reduce the risk of HPAIV outbreaks.

Emergence of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant, salient features, high global health concerns and strategies to counter it amid ongoing COVID-19 pandemic

Rekha Khandia, Shailja Singhal, Taha Alqahtani, Mohammad Amjad Kamal, Nahed A. El-Shall, Firzan Nainu, Perumal Arumugam Desingu, Kuldeep Dhama

Summary: Since December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has been rapidly evolving and mutating, leading to various variants with different levels of infectivity and lethality. The most recent variant of concern is Omicron (B.1.1.529), which has raised concerns about its ability to evade pre-existing immunity and overcome antibody-based therapies. Several theories have been proposed to explain the high number of mutations in Omicron. To successfully handle the ongoing pandemic, a multifaceted approach including rapid diagnosis, genome analysis, vaccination, and updated medical facilities is needed.

Rekha Khandia, Megha Katare Pandey, Igor Vladimirovich Rzhepakovsky, Azmat Ali Khan, Athanasios Alexiou

Summary: Neurodegenerative disorders are caused by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and organelles, and autophagy plays a critical role in removing these defects. Synonymous variants in autophagic genes have been found to be associated with neurodegeneration. This study aims to investigate the usage patterns of synonymous variants in autophagic genes and explore their impact on protein translation, stability, and gene expression.

Application of codon usage and context analysis in genes up- or down-regulated in neurodegeneration and cancer to combat comorbidities

Rekha Khandia, Megha Katare Pandey, Magdi E. A. Zaki, Sami A. Al-Hussain, Igor Baklanov, Pankaj Gurjar

Summary: This study examined four genes that are simultaneously upregulated or downregulated in neurodegeneration and cancer. The mutational forces are stronger in upregulated gene sets than in downregulated ones. Transcript length influences nucleotide bias and codon bias, and the codon AGG has the strongest influence on codon usage. Codons ending in G/C are preferred, and certain amino acid-initiated codon pairs are preferred in all genes. The codons CTA, GTA, CAA, and CGT are underrepresented in all examined genes. Therefore, gene editing can optimize gene expression levels to enhance the therapeutic effects of neurodegeneration and cancer concurrently.

A Synthetic Biology Approach for Vaccine Candidate Design against Delta Strain of SARS-CoV-2 Revealed Disruption of Favored Codon Pair as a Better Strategy over Using Rare Codons

Pankaj Gurjar, Noushad Karuvantevida, Igor Vladimirovich Rzhepakovsky, Azmat Ali Khan, Rekha Khandia

Summary: The study identified specific molecular patterns in the structural genes of the SARS-CoV-2 delta variant, including an abundance of T nucleotides, underrepresentation of certain dinucleotides, and specific codon usage preferences. The virus uses these patterns to reduce translation rate and facilitate correct protein folding. This information can be utilized to design an attenuated vaccine candidate against the SARS-CoV-2 delta variant.

Compositional constraints and selection forces dictate codon usage in human bocavirus

Rekha Khandia, Shailja Singhal, Utsang Kumar, Kishore Shende, Megha Katare Pandey, Sergey Nikolaevich Povetkin, Igor Vladimirovich Rzhepakovsky, Ashwin Raut, Athanosius Alexiou, Kuldeep Dhama, George Zouganelis, Azmat Ali Khan

Summary: The study revealed the predominance of selection forces over mutational forces in determining codon usage patterns in HBoV. Compositional parameters played a crucial role in the occurrence of dinucleotides and frequently used codons. Despite the A/T richness, G/C nucleotide content was found to be the highest in the non-neutral positions of the codon, indicating selective forces. A low codon bias was observed in HBoV, with nine A/T ending codons overrepresented and nineteen G/C ending codons underrepresented. The most overrepresented codon was AGA instead of the commonly observed CTG, encoding arginine.
