Avibirnavirus is a genus of viruses in family Birnaviridae . [2] There is a single species in this genus: Infectious bursal disease virus , which infects chickens and other fowl. It causes severe inflammation of the bursa of Fabricius, and causes considerable morbidity and mortality. [3] [4]
Initially, the virus was discovered in 1957 in Gumboro, Delaware, United States. [5] [6] Later, the disease was termed Gumboro disease. Since its discovery, the virus has been found to have a worldwide distribution. [6]
Avibirnaviruses are non-enveloped, and their single shelled icosahedral capsid exhibits a T=13 symmetry. The diameter of the capsid is around 70 nm. [3] [4]
Genus | Structure | Symmetry | Capsid | Genomic arrangement | Genomic segmentation |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Avibirnavirus | Icosahedral | T=13 | Non-enveloped | Linear | Segmented |
The double-stranded RNA genome of Avibirnaviruses is linear and segmented into two segments (A and B). [7] [8] The combined lengths of the two segments is around 6,000 nucleotides, almost entirely composed of reading-frames. The genome codes for 4-5 proteins depending on the strain. [3] [4] The high degree of antigenic variation is due to a combination of high mutation rate and inter-strain homologous recombination within a hypervariable region that is located in the vp2 gene. [6] [9]
At approximately 3,200 bp in length, segment A is the larger of the two segments. It contains two partially overlapping open reading frames (ORFs). [7] [8] The first ORF in segment A encodes viral protein 5 (VP5). [7] The second ORF in segment A encodes a polyprotein, the pVP2-VP4-VP3 precursor, which is cleaved into three proteins . [7] Segment B encodes a single viral protein, VP1. [7] [8]
Viral protein 1 is an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which cycles between the two segments and aids in the formation of ribonucleoprotein complexes with viral protein 3. [7]
Viral protein 2 is a major structural component of the virion. [7] The protein contains three domains: base, shell, and projection. [5] The projection domain consists of four loop structures that are exposed on the virion surface. [5] This protein is responsible for inducing a protective immune response, which neutralize monoclonal antibodies through binding to the project domain. [5] The viral protein in conjunction with VP5 acts as an apoptotic inducer, which causes affected cells to become cytotoxic. [9] Also, together with VP5, it inhibits cellular protein synthesis through activation of the protein kinase R pathway (PKR). [9] This activation leads to an increase in reactive oxygen species in the affected cells. [9]
Viral protein 3 is an immunogenic protein that interacts with VP1. [7] Its helps to regulate VP2 apoptosis by inhibiting phosphorylation of PKR and eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2). [9] Apoptotic regulation allows for the replication and release of the virus into other cells. [9]
Viral protein 4 is a serine protease, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of polyprotein pVP2-VP4-VP3 to release the viral proteins. [7] The serine protease that cleaves at ser-652 and lys-692. [7] This step is essential to replication due to release of the other proteins. [7] VP4 will additionally take over a glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper protein (GILZ) that will allow for viral growth and block immune response of host cell. [7] [9]
Viral protein 5 is an inducer of apoptosis for DF-1 cells. [10] It relies on inhibiting the voltage-dependent anion channel 2 (VDCA2) located on the mitochondria. [10] The inhibition will be aided by VP2, which will close the channel allowing for proliferation of the virus in host cells. [9] [10] Also, VDCA2 will bind to RACK1 that will allow replication. [7]
The serotype and antigenic variations of the virus can only be distinguished between through virus-neutralization assays. [5] The project domains can be viewed to see the variation of the virus through amino acid substitutions. [5] The genome is typically highly conserved, however, the serotypes will vary the genome due to nucleotide changes. [8] There are two serotypes of avibirnavirus with one containing multiple classifications. [11] Serotype 1 is pathogenic to chickens especially at 3 to 6 weeks of age and seen to be more virulent in lighter breeds. [11] [9] This serotype contains three main classifications: classical virulent IBDV, very virulent IBDV, and variant IBDV. [11] [12] Classical virulent IBDV is the only serotype that has two subtypes: attenuated vaccine IBDV and classical virulent IBDV. [12] Although, these serotypes can have variance upon region. [5] Serotype 2 was identified in turkey. [5] This serotype has no pathogenic effect on chickens. [11]
Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. The entry points in the host cell are through certain cell receptors. [11] One receptor that the virus will bind is surface immunoglobulin M, which specifically interacts with the light chains of the antibody. [9] Another receptor that can be bound is heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) on the surface of the DF-1 cell membrane. [9] Although, this receptor will bind either the virus or the VP2-viral sub particle. [9] Entry through the membrane has not been fully understood. [9] The penetration of the membrane is aided by the capsid PEP46. [9] The capid will have a peptide generated from the c-terminal of pVP2 that is released by VP4. [9] The peptide causes the membrane to become permeable by forming pores, which allow for PEP46 entry depending on calcium gradient. [9] If the inner calcium gradient is low, then it is thought to enter V-ATPase positive vesicles by endocytosis and uncoated for entry into the cytosol. [9] Also, it has been found VP2-α4β1 aids in spreading the virus in the cell as well through macropinocytosis. [9] This will allow for the virus to be moved to the early endosomes that is accomplished in the cell through Rab5. [9] Replication follows the double-stranded RNA virus replication model. Double-stranded rna virus transcription is the method of transcription. Young chickens and other fowl serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are contamination. [3] [4]

A poliovirus, the causative agent of polio, is a serotype of the species Enterovirus C, in the family of Picornaviridae. There are three poliovirus serotypes: types 1, 2, and 3.
Sedoreoviridae is a family of double-stranded RNA viruses. Member viruses have a wide host range, including vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, protists and fungi. They lack lipid envelopes and package their segmented genome within multi-layered capsids. Lack of a lipid envelope has allowed three-dimensional structures of these large complex viruses to be obtained, revealing a structural and likely evolutionary relationship to the cystovirus family of bacteriophage. There are currently 97 species in this family, divided among 15 genera in two subfamilies. Reoviruses can affect the gastrointestinal system and respiratory tract. The name "reo-" is an acronym for "respiratory enteric orphan" viruses. The term "orphan virus" refers to the fact that some of these viruses have been observed not associated with any known disease. Even though viruses in the family Reoviridae have more recently been identified with various diseases, the original name is still used.
Picornaviruses are a group of related nonenveloped RNA viruses which infect vertebrates including fish, mammals, and birds. They are viruses that represent a large family of small, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses with a 30 nm icosahedral capsid. The viruses in this family can cause a range of diseases including the common cold, poliomyelitis, meningitis, hepatitis, and paralysis.
Birnaviridae is a family of double-stranded RNA viruses. Salmonid fish, birds and insects serve as natural hosts. There are currently 11 species in this family, divided among seven genera. Diseases associated with this family include infectious pancreatic necrosis in salmonid fish, which causes significant losses to the aquaculture industry, with chronic infection in adult salmonid fish and acute viral disease in young salmonid fish.
Infectious bursal disease (IBD), also known as Gumboro disease, infectious bursitis and infectious avian nephrosis, is a highly contagious disease of young chickens and turkeys caused by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), characterized by immunosuppression and mortality generally at 3 to 6 weeks of age. The disease was first discovered in Gumboro, Delaware in 1962. It is economically important to the poultry industry worldwide due to increased susceptibility to other diseases and negative interference with effective vaccination. In recent years, very virulent strains of IBDV (vvIBDV), causing severe mortality in chicken, have emerged in Europe, Latin America, South-East Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Infection is via the oro-fecal route, with affected bird excreting high levels of the virus for approximately 2 weeks after infection. The disease is easily spread from infected chickens to healthy chickens through food, water, and physical contact.
Astroviruses are a type of virus that was first discovered in 1975 using electron microscopes following an outbreak of diarrhea in humans. In addition to humans, astroviruses have now been isolated from numerous mammalian animal species and from avian species such as ducks, chickens, and turkey poults. Astroviruses are 28–35 nm diameter, icosahedral viruses that have a characteristic five- or six-pointed star-like surface structure when viewed by electron microscopy. Along with the Picornaviridae and the Caliciviridae, the Astroviridae comprise a third family of nonenveloped viruses whose genome is composed of plus-sense, single-stranded RNA. Astrovirus has a non-segmented, single stranded, positive sense RNA genome within a non-enveloped icosahedral capsid. Human astroviruses have been shown in numerous studies to be an important cause of gastroenteritis in young children worldwide. In animals, Astroviruses also cause infection of the gastrointestinal tract but may also result in encephalitis, hepatitis (avian) and nephritis (avian).
Drosophila X virus (DXV) belongs to the Birnaviridae family of viruses. Birnaviridae currently consists of three genera. The first genus is Entomobirnavirus, which contains DXV. The next genus is Aquabirnavirus, containing infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). The last genus is Avibirnavirus, which contains infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). All of these genera contain homology in three specific areas of their transcripts. The homology comes from the amino and carboxyl regions of preVP2, a small 21-residue-long domain near the carboxyl terminal of VP3, and similar small ORFs sequences.
Marnaviridae is a family of positive-stranded RNA viruses in the order Picornavirales that infect various photosynthetic marine protists. Members of the family have non-enveloped, icosahedral capsids. Replication occurs in the cytoplasm and causes lysis of the host cell. The first species of this family that was isolated is Heterosigma akashiwo RNA virus (HaRNAV) in the genus Marnavirus, that infects the toxic bloom-forming Raphidophyte alga, Heterosigma akashiwo. As of 2021, there are 20 species across 7 genera in this family, as well as many other related viruses discovered through metagenomic sequencing that are currently unclassified
Double-stranded RNA viruses are a polyphyletic group of viruses that have double-stranded genomes made of ribonucleic acid. The double-stranded genome is used as a template by the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) to transcribe a positive-strand RNA functioning as messenger RNA (mRNA) for the host cell's ribosomes, which translate it into viral proteins. The positive-strand RNA can also be replicated by the RdRp to create a new double-stranded viral genome.
Enterovirus E is a picornavirus of the genus Enterovirus. The virus may also be referred to as enteric cytopathic bovine orphan virus (ECBO). It is endemic in cattle populations worldwide, and although normally fairly nonpathogenic, it can cause reproductive, respiratory, or enteric disease – particularly when the animal is concurrently infected with another pathogen.
Picobirnavirus is a genus of double-stranded RNA viruses. It is the only genus in the family Picobirnaviridae. Although amniotes, especially mammals, were thought to serve as hosts, it has been recently suggested that these viruses might infect bacteria and possibly some other invertebrates. There are three species in this genus. Associated symptoms include gastroenteritis in animals and humans, though the disease association is unclear.
Iflaviridae is a family of positive sense RNA viruses insect-infecting viruses. Some of the insects commonly infected by iflaviruses include aphids, leafhoppers, flies, bees, ants, silkworms and wasps. The name "Ifla" is derived from the name "Infectious flacherie virus", a member species. There is one genus (Iflavirus) and 16 species in this family.
Vesivirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Caliciviridae. Swine, sea mammals, and felines serve as natural hosts. There are two species in this genus. Diseases associated with this genus include: respiratory disease, Feline calicivirus (FCV); conjunctivitis, and respiratory disease.
Lagovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Caliciviridae. Lagomorphs serve as natural hosts. There are two species in this genus. Diseases associated with this genus include: necrotizing hepatitis leading to fatal hemorrhages.
Mastadenovirus is a genus of viruses in the family Adenoviridae. Humans and other mammals serve as natural hosts. There are 51 species in this genus. The genus as a whole includes many very common causes of human infection, estimated to be responsible for 2 to 5% of all respiratory infections, as well as gastrointestinal and eye infections. Symptoms are usually mild.
Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus, often abbreviated to EHDV, is a species of the genus Orbivirus, a member of the family Reoviridae. It is the causative agent of epizootic hemorrhagic disease, an acute, infectious, and often fatal disease of wild ruminants. In North America, the most severely affected ruminant is the white-tailed deer, although it may also infect mule deer, black-tailed deer, elk, bighorn sheep, and pronghorn antelope. It is often mistakenly referred to as “bluetongue virus” (BTV), another Orbivirus that like EHDV causes the host to develop a characteristic blue tongue due to systemic hemorrhaging and lack of oxygen in the blood. Despite showing clinical similarities, these two viruses are genetically distinct.
Aquabirnavirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Birnaviridae. Salmonid fish serve as natural hosts. There are three species in this genus. A disease associated with this genus, Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) in salmonid fish, causes significant losses to the aquaculture industry. Chronic infection in adults, and acute viral disease in young salmonid fish can occur.
Avian metaavulavirus 2, formerly Avian paramyxovirus 2, is a species of virus belonging to the family Paramyxoviridae and genus Metaavulavirus. The virus is a negative strand RNA virus containing a monopartite genome. Avian metaavulavirus 2 is one of nine species belonging to the genus Metaavulavirus. The most common serotype of Avulavirinae is serotype 1, the cause of Newcastle disease (ND). Avian metaavulavirus 2 has been known to cause disease, specifically mild respiratory infections in domestic poultry, including turkeys and chickens, and has many economic effects on egg production and poultry industries. The virus was first isolated from a strain in Yucaipa, California in 1956. Since then, other isolates of the virus have been isolated worldwide.
Mammalian orthoreovirus (MRV) is a double-stranded RNA virus. It is a part of the family Reoviridae, as well as the subfamily Spinareovirinae. As seen in the name, the Mammalian Ortheoreovirus infects numerous mammalian species and vertebrates which serve as natural hosts. Some diseases that occur as a result of this virus or are associated with this virus include mild upper respiratory illness, and gastrointestinal illness. Examples of these are: upper respiratory tract syndromes, gastroenteritis, biliary atresia, obstructive hydrocephalus, jaundice, alopecia, conjunctivitis, and ‘oily hair’ associated with steatorrhea.
Astroviridae is a family of non-enveloped ssRNA viruses that cause infections in different animals. The family name is derived from the Greek word astron ("star") referring to the star-like appearance of spikes projecting from the surface of these small unenveloped viruses. Astroviruses were initially identified in humans but have since been isolated from other mammals and birds. This family of viruses consists of two genera, Avastrovirus (AAstV) and Mamastrovirus (MAstV). Astroviruses most frequently cause infection of the gastrointestinal tract but in some animals they may result in encephalitis, hepatitis (avian) and nephritis (avian).
