Brontok originated in Indonesia. It was first discovered in 2005. The name refers to elang brontok, a bird species native to South & Southeast Asia. It arrives as an attachment of e-mail named kangen.exe (kangen itself means "to miss someone/thing"). The virus/email itself contains a message in Indonesian (and some English).
Retroviridae. Genus: Alpharetrovirus. Species: Rous sarcoma virus. Rous sarcoma virus ( RSV) ( / raʊs /) is a retrovirus and is the first oncovirus to have been described. It causes sarcoma in chickens. As with all retroviruses, it reverse transcribes its RNA genome into cDNA before integration into the host DNA.
A number of viruses including adenovirus, reovirus, measles, herpes simplex, Newcastle disease virus, and vaccinia have been clinically tested as oncolytic agents. [ 8] Most current oncolytic viruses are engineered for tumour selectivity, although there are naturally occurring examples such as reovirus and the senecavirus, [ 9] resulting in ...
Defective interfering RNAs are small sub-viral replicons which are non-coding deletion mutants of the virus that maintain cis-acting RNA elements necessary for replication of the host virus. [1] This conserved region of the 3'UTR has been found to enhance DI RNA accumulation by approximately 10-fold as well as mediating viral replication.
Influenza A virus can infect a variety of animals as well as humans, and its natural reservoir (natural host) is birds, whereas influenza viruses B, C, and D do not have animal reservoirs. [4] [11] [8] Influenza C virus is not as easily isolated so less information is known of this type, but studies show that it occurs worldwide. [12]
Rubella virus ( RuV) is the pathogenic agent of the disease rubella, transmitted only between humans via the respiratory route, and is the main cause of congenital rubella syndrome when infection occurs during the first weeks of pregnancy . Rubella virus, scientific name Rubivirus rubellae, is a member of the genus Rubivirus and belongs to the ...
Rice ragged stunt virus ( RRSV) is a plant pathogenic virus of the family Reoviridae . RRSV, vectored by the brown planthopper (BPH) (Delphacidae: Nilaparvata lugens ), causes ragged stunt disease of rice ( Oryza spp., especially Oryza sativa ). [1] The virus, first described by Hibino, Ling and Shikata, [2] [3] [4] is also less commonly known ...
Tomato spotted wilt tospovirus. Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV) is a spherical negative-sense RNA virus. Transmitted by thrips, it causes serious losses in economically important crops and it is one of the most economically devastating plant viruses in the world. [ 1]
