Abstract
The peste des petits ruminant (PPR) virus is a transboundary virus found in small domestic ruminants that causes high morbidity and mortality in naive herds. PPR can be effectively controlled and eradicated by vaccinating small domestic ruminants with a live-attenuated peste des petits ruminant virus (PPRV) vaccine, which provides long-lasting immunity. We studied the potency and safety of a live-attenuated vaccine in goats by detecting their cellular and humoral immune responses. Six goats were subcutaneously vaccinated with a live-attenuated PPRV vaccine according to the manufacturer's instructions, and two goats were kept in contact. Following vaccination, the goats were monitored daily, and we recorded their body temperature and clinical score. Heparinized blood and serum were collected for a serological analysis, and swab samples and EDTA blood were collected to detect the PPRV genome. The safety of the used PPRV vaccine was confirmed by the absence of PPR-related clinical signs, a negative pen-side test, a low virus genome load as detected with RT-qPCR on the vaccinated goats, and the lack horizontal transmission between the in-contact goats. The strong humoral and cellular immune responses detected in the vaccinated goats showed that the live-attenuated PPRV vaccine has a strong potency in goats. Therefore, live-attenuated vaccines against PPR can be used to control and eradicate PRR.

Extracellular vesicles derived from PPRV-infected cells enhance signaling lymphocyte activation molecular (SLAM) receptor expression and facilitate virus infection. PLoS Pathog 2022; 18:e1010759.

Abstract
Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) is an important pathogen that seriously influences the productivity of small ruminants worldwide. PPRV is lymphotropic in nature and SLAM was identified as the primary receptor for PPRV and other Morbilliviruses. Many viruses have been demonstrated to engage extracellular vesicles (EVs) to facilitate their replication and pathogenesis. Here, we provide evidence that PPRV infection significantly induced the secretion levels of EVs from goat PBMC, and that PPRV-H protein carried in EVs can enhance SLAM receptor expression in the recipient cells via suppressing miR-218, a negative miRNA directly targeting SLAM gene. Importantly, EVs-mediated increased SLAM expression enhances PPRV infectivity as well as the expression of various cytokines related to SLAM signaling pathway in the recipient cells. Moreover, our data reveal that PPRV associate EVs rapidly entry into the recipient cells mainly through macropinocytosis pathway and cooperated with caveolin- and clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Taken together, our findings identify a new strategy by PPRV to enhance virus infection and escape innate immunity by engaging EVs pathway. Peste des petitsruminants virus (PPRV) infection induces a transient but severe immunosuppression in the host, which threatens both small livestock and endangered susceptible wildlife populations in many countries. Despite extensive research, the mechanism underlying pathogenesis of PPRV infection remains elusive. Our data provide the first direct evidence that the EVs derived from PPRV-infected cells are involved in PPRV replication. In this study, the EVs derived from PPRV-infected goat PBMCs can enhance SLAM expression in the recipient cells, and more importantly, EVs-mediated increased SLAM expression enhances PPRV replication as well as the expression of various cytokines related to SLAM signaling pathway in the recipient cells. Taken together, our research has provided new insight into understanding the effect of EVs on PPRV replication and pathogenesis, and revealed a potential therapeutic target for antiviral intervention.

Abstract
Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) has long been a significant threat to small ruminant productivity worldwide. Virus infection-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (ERS) and the subsequently activated unfolded protein response (UPR) play significant roles in viral replication and pathogenesis. However, the relationship between ERS and PPRV infection is unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that ERS was induced during PPRV infection in caprine endometrial epithelial cells (EECs). Importantly, we demonstrated that the induction of autophagy by PPRV was mediated by ERS. Furthermore, we found that the PERK/eIF2α pathway but not the ATF6 or IRE1 pathway was activated and that the activated PERK/eIF2α pathway participated in regulating ERS-mediated autophagy. Moreover, virus replication was required for PPRV infection-induced ERS-mediated autophagy and PERK pathway activation. Additionally, we revealed that either the viral nucleocapsid (N) or nonstructural protein C was sufficient to elicit ERS and activate the PERK/eIF2α pathway, which further increased autophagy. Taken together, these results suggest that PPRV N and C protein-induced autophagy enhances viral replication through the induction of ERS and that the PERK pathway may be involved in the activation of ERS-mediated autophagy during PPRV infection.

Abstract
COVID-19 is a respiratory viral disease caused by a new coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. This disease has spread rapidly worldwide with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. The receptor-binding domain (RBD) of protein spike (S) mediates the attachment of the virus to the host's cellular receptor. The RBD domain constitutes a very attractive target for subunit vaccine development due to its ability to induce a neutralizing antibody response against the virus. With the aim of boosting the immunogenicity of RBD, it was fused to the extracellular domain of CD154, an immune system modulator molecule. To obtain the chimeric protein, stable transduction of HEK-293 was carried out with recombinant lentivirus and polyclonal populations and cell clones were obtained. RBD-CD was purified from culture supernatant and further characterized by several techniques. RBD-CD immunogenicity evaluated in mice and non-human primates (NHP) indicated that recombinant protein was able to induce a specific and high IgG response after two doses. NHP sera also neutralize SARS-CoV-2 infection of Vero E6 cells. RBD-CD could improve the current vaccines against COVID-19, based in the enhancement of the host humoral and cellular response. Further experiments are necessary to confirm the utility of RBD-CD as a prophylactic vaccine and/or booster purpose.

Peste Des Petits Ruminants Virus N Protein Is a Critical Proinflammation Factor That Promotes MyD88 and NLRP3 Complex Assembly. J Virol 2022; 96:e0030922.

Abstract
Inflammatory responses play a central role in host defense against invading pathogens. Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) causes highly contagious acute or subacute disease of small ruminants. However, the precise mechanism by which PPRV regulates inflammatory responses remains unknown. Here, we revealed a novel mechanism by which PPRV induces inflammation. Our study showed that PPRV induced the secretion of interleukin 1β (IL-1β) by activating the NF-κB signaling pathway and the NLRP3 inflammasome. Moreover, PPRV replication and protein synthesis were essential for NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Importantly, PPRV N protein promoted NF-κB signaling pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome via direct binding of MyD88 and NLPR3, respectively, and induced caspase-1 cleavage and IL-1β maturation. Biochemically, N protein interacted with MyD88 to potentiate the assembly of MyD88 complex and interacted with NLPR3 to facilitate NLRP3 inflammasome complex assembly by forming an N-NLRP3-ASC ring-like structure, leading to IL-1β secretion. These findings demonstrate a new function of PPRV N protein as an important proinflammation factor and identify a novel underlying mechanism modulating inflammasome assembly and function induced by PPRV. IMPORTANCE An important part of the innate immune response is the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway and NLPR3 inflammasome, which is induced upon exposure to pathogens. Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) is a highly contagious virus causing fever, stomatitis, and pneumoenteritis in goats by inducing many proinflammatory cytokines. Although the NF-κB signaling pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome play an important role in regulating host immunity and viral infection, the precise mechanism by which PPRV regulates inflammatory responses remains unknown. This study demonstrates that PPRV induces inflammatory responses. Mechanistically, PPRV N protein facilitates the MyD88 complex assembly by directly binding to MyD88 and promotes the NLRP3 inflammasome complex assembly by directly binding to NLRP3 to form ring-like structures of N-NLRP3-ASC. These findings provide insights into the prevention and treatment of PPRV infection.

Abstract
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is the prototypical orbivirus that belongs to the Reoviridae family. BTV infection produces a disease in ruminants, particularly in sheep, that results in economic losses through reduced productivity. BTV is transmitted by the bite of Culicoides spp. midges and is nowadays distributed globally throughout subtropical and even temperate regions. As most viruses, BTV is susceptible to the IFN response, the first line of defense employed by the immune system to combat viral infections. In turn, BTV has evolved strategies to counter the IFN response and promote its replication. The present review we will revise the works describing how BTV interferes with the IFN response.
