Rubivirus Infections
''Rubivirus'' is a genus of viruses. It contains three species. Taxonomy The following three species are assigned to the genus: * ''Rubivirus rubellae'', commonly called rubella virus * ''Rubivirus ruteetense'', commonly called ruhugu virus * ''Rubivirus strelense Rustrela virus, scientific name ''Rubivirus strelense'', is a species of virus in the genus ''Rubivirus''.

Genus (biology)
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus '' Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should clearly demons ...

Virus
A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism. Viruses infect all life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea. Since Dmitri Ivanovsky's 1892 article describing a non-bacterial pathogen infecting tobacco plants and the discovery of the tobacco mosaic virus by Martinus Beijerinck in 1898,Dimmock p. 4 more than 9,000 virus species have been described in detail of the millions of types of viruses in the environment. Viruses are found in almost every ecosystem on Earth and are the most numerous type of biological entity. The study of viruses is known as virology, a subspeciality of microbiology. When infected, a host cell is often forced to rapidly produce thousands of copies of the original virus. When not inside an infected cell or in the process of infecting a cell, viruses exist in the form of independent particles, or ''virions'', consisting of (i) the genetic material, i. ...

Rubivirus Rubellae
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 family of ''Matonaviridae'', whose members commonly have a genome of single-stranded RNA of positive polarity which is enclosed by an icosahedral capsid. the molecular basis for the causation of congenital rubella syndrome was not yet completely clear, but '' in vitro'' studies with cell lines showed that rubella virus has an apoptotic effect on certain cell types. There is evidence for a p53-dependent mechanism. Taxonomy Rubella virus (''Rubivirus rubellae'') is assigned to the ''Rubivirus'' genus. ''Matonaviridae'' family Until 2018, Rubiviruses were classified as part of the family '' Togaviridae'', but have since b ...

Rubivirus Ruteetense
Ruhugu virus, scientific name ''Rubivirus ruteetense'', is a species of virus in the genus ''Rubivirus''. It was discovered in 2019 in healthy Ugandan bats. It belongs to the family of ''Matonaviridae'', a single-stranded RNA of positive polarity which is enclosed by an icosahedral capsid. Discovery and habitat Ruhugu virus was discovered in healthy Cyclops roundleaf bats in Kibale National Park, Uganda. prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, while looking for coronavirus Coronaviruses are a group of related RNA viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans and birds, they cause respiratory tract infections that can range from mild to lethal. Mild illnesses in humans include some cases of the com ...es carried by bats. Etymology Ruhugu virus was named after the Ruteete region of Uganda and the word in the local Tooro language, which describes "the flapping of bat wings in the hollow of a tree: obuhuguhugu" Structure Ruhugu virus is closely related to Rubell ...

Rubivirus Strelense
Rustrela virus, scientific name ''Rubivirus strelense'', is a species of virus in the genus ''Rubivirus''. History Scientists discovered Rustrela in acutely encephalitic placental and marsupial mammals – a donkey, a capybara, and a wallaby – in a zoo in Germany, and in wild yellow-necked field mice in and around the zoo. – See also article correction: The virus can jump between species and interestingly infects both placental and marsupial animals. Structure The Rustrela virus has the same genomic structure as the Rubella virus. Rustrela has a few amino acid differences in the protein which binds to host cells. There are four putative B cell epitopes in the fusion (E1) protein of rustrela that are highly conserved with Rubella virus and Ruhugu virus Ruhugu virus, scientific name ''Rubivirus ruteetense'', is a species of virus in the genus '' Rubivirus''. It was discovered in 2019 in healthy Ugandan bats. It belongs to the family of '' Mato ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
