The family Orthomyxoviridae includes five genera: Influenza virus A, Influenza virus B, Influenza virus C, Thogotovirus and Isavirus. The first three genera contain viruses that cause influenza in vertebrates, including birds, humans, and other mammals.

Animal viruses are viruses that infect animals. Viruses infect all cellular life and although viruses infect every animal, plant, fungus and protist species, each has its own specific range of viruses that often infect only that species.

While this text focuses on viruses of humans and other animals, viruses infect organisms of all types, from bacteria to fungi to plants. Viruses are most often classified based on groups of genome and virion characteristics.

2019年6月5日 · Animal viruses are intracellular obligate parasites, meaning that they rely on the host animal cell completely for reproduction. They use the host's cellular components to replicate, then leave the host cell to infect other cells throughout the organism.

In the last two centuries considerable efforts have been invested in understanding the causes and pathogenesis of viral and bacterial diseases of domestic animals. These studies have introduced new methodologies for the diagnosis, treatment, and control of veterinary diseases.

2024年11月23日 · Viruses cause diseases in humans and other animals; they often have to run their course before symptoms disappear. Examples of viral animal diseases include hepatitis C, chicken pox, and shingles. Key Terms

The hosts of animal viruses vary from protozoans (single-celled animal organisms) to humans. Many viruses infect either invertebrate animals or vertebrates, and some infect both. Certain viruses that cause serious diseases of animals and humans are carried by arthropods.

2022年1月4日 · We outline the factors that determine the phylogenetic diversity and genomic structure of animal viruses on evolutionary timescales and show how this impacts assessment of the risk of disease...

ATCC provides scientists with fully authenticated animal viruses and host cell lines that support the development of novel therapeutic protocols.

This comprehensive exploration of animal virus epidemiology covers key areas, including virus classification, transmission dynamics, epidemic investigation methodologies, and the role of vaccination and biosecurity in disease control.
