Molecular-based reclassification of the bovine enteroviruses.

TL;DR: Molecular data indicate that the bovine enteroviruses are composed of two clusters each with two and three geno-/serotypes, respectively and frequent intraserotypic and interserotypic recombination within the non-capsid and the capsid region of the BEV genome.

Abstract: Bovine enteroviruses are currently classified into two serotypes within the species Bovine enterovirus (BEV). Comparison of the sequences of six American and eleven German BEV isolates with published BEV sequences revealed the necessity to revise the taxonomy of these viruses. Molecular data indicate that the bovine enteroviruses are composed of two clusters (designated BEV-A and -B) each with two and three geno-/serotypes, respectively. Whereas low amino acid identity of the capsid proteins 1C (VP3) and 1D (VP1) is the main criterion for the discrimination of geno-/serotypes, the BEV clusters, presumably representing species, differ in sequence identity of all viral proteins. In addition, characteristic lengths of (i) the capsid proteins 1B, 1C and 1D, (ii) the 2C protein, and (iii) the 3′-non-translated region are observed. The BEVs can be distinguished from the other enteroviruses by sequence identity and unique features of the 5′-non-translated region, i.e. a conserved second cloverleaf and characteristic RNA structures of the internal ribosome entry site. Phylogenetically, the closest relatives of the bovine enteroviruses are the porcine enteroviruses. Incongruent phylogenies of the 5′-non-translated region, the capsid proteins and the 3D polymerase indicate frequent intraserotypic and interserotypic recombination within the non-capsid and the capsid region of the BEV genome.

Recombination and Selection in the Evolution of Picornaviruses and Other Mammalian Positive-Stranded RNA Viruses
TL;DR: Common themes in the diversification process generating picornavirus serotypes that contribute to understanding of their evolution and pathogenicity are identified.

Picornaviridae-the ever-growing virus family.
TL;DR: A stunning increase in the number of newly identified picornaviruses in the past decade has shown that picornviruses are globally distributed and infect vertebrates of all classes, sometimes challenging the definition of taxonomic relevant criteria.

TL;DR: An enterovirus was cultured from an erosive tongue lesion of a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and the morphology of virions on negative staining electron microscopy was consistent with those of enteroviruses.

Characterisation of two enteroviruses isolated from Australian brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) in New Zealand.
TL;DR: Two enteroviruses, designated W1 and W6, were isolated from intestinal contents of Australian brushtail possums in New Zealand and grew more readily in possum kidney cells than in Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells, suggesting that co-evolution of W1and W6 with possums has made them more adapted to possum cells.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new mathematical method for estimating the number of transitional and transversional substitutions per site, as well as the total number of nucleotide substitutions was proposed, taking into account excess transitions, unequal nucleotide frequencies, and variation of substitution rate among different sites.
The rapid generation of mutation data matrices from protein sequences
TL;DR: An efficient means for generating mutation data matrices from large numbers of protein sequences is presented, by means of an approximate peptide-based sequence comparison algorithm, which is fast enough to process the entire SWISS-PROT databank in 20 h on a Sun SPARCstation 1, and is fastenough to generate a matrix from a specific family or class of proteins in minutes.

Quartet Puzzling: A Quartet Maximum-Likelihood Method for Reconstructing Tree Topologies
TL;DR: A versatile method, quartet puzzling, is introduced to reconstruct the topology (branching pattern) of a phylogenetic tree based on DNA or amino acid sequence data and outperforms neighbor joining in some cases with high transition/transversion bias.
