Abstract
The complete genome of a new virus belonging to the family Betaflexiviridae was identified in garlic and sequenced by next-generation sequencing and reverse transcription PCR. The complete RNA genome (GenBank accession number OP021693) is 8191 nucleotides in length, excluding the 3' poly(A) tail, and contains five open reading frames (ORFs). These open reading frames encode the viral replicase, triple gene block, and coat protein, and the genome organization is typical of members of the subfamily Quinvirinae. The virus has been tentatively named "garlic yellow curl virus" (GYCV). Phylogenetic analysis suggested that it represents an independent evolutionary lineage in the subfamily, clustering with the currently unclassified garlic yellow mosaic associated virus (GYMaV) and peony betaflexivirus 1 (PeV1). Differences between the phylogenies inferred for the replicase and coat protein indicate that the new virus does not belong to any established genus of the family Betaflexiviridae. This is the first report of GYCV in China.

Abstract
Commercially available reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) kits are being used as an important tool to diagnose SARS-CoV-2 infection in clinical laboratories worldwide. However, some kits lack sufficient clinical evaluation due to the need for emergency use caused by the current COVID-19 pandemic. Here we found that a novel insertion/deletion mutation in the nucleocapsid (N) gene of SARS-CoV-2 samples is a cause of negative results for the N gene in a widely used assay that received emergency use authorization (EUA) from US FDA and Conformite Europeenne-in vitro diagnostics (CE-IVD) from EU. Although SARS-CoV-2 is diagnosed positive by other target probes in the assay, our findings provide an evidence of the genetic variability and rapid evolution of SARS-CoV-2 as well as a reference in designing commercial RT-PCR assays.

Abstract
Long-term infection by human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) has been reported in immunocompromised patients. Cell lines are valuable in vitro model systems to study mechanisms associated with viral persistence. Persistent infections in cell cultures have been categorized at least as in "carrier-state", where there exist a low proportion of cells infected by a lytic virus, and as in "steady-state", where most of cells are infected, but in absence of cytophatic effect. Here, we showed that hRSV maintained a steady-state persistence in a macrophage-like cell line after 120 passages, since the viral genome was detected in all of the cells analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization, whereas only defective viruses were identified by sucrose gradients and titration assay. Interestingly, eight percent of cells harboring the hRSV genome revealed undetectable expression of the viral nucleoprotein N; however, when this cell population was sorted by flow cytometry and independently cultured, viral protein expression was induced at detectable levels since the first post-sorting passage, supporting that sorted cells harbored the viral genome. Sequencing of the persistent hRSV genome obtained from virus collected from cell-culture supernatants, allowed assembling of a complete genome that displayed 24 synonymous and 38 nonsynonymous substitutions in coding regions, whereas extragenic and intergenic regions displayed 12 substitutions, two insertions and one deletion. Previous reports characterizing mutations in extragenic regulatory sequences of hRSV, suggested that some mutations localized at the 3' leader region of our persistent virus might alter viral transcription and replication, as well as assembly of viral nucleocapsids. Besides, substitutions in P, F and G proteins might contribute to altered viral assembly, budding and membrane fusion, reducing the cytopathic effect and in consequence, contributing to host-cell survival. Full-length mutant genomes might be part of the repertoire of defective viral genomes formed during hRSV infections, contributing to the establishment and maintenance of virus persistence.

Abstract
LSDV replicates to high titers (approximately 1 × 107 PFU/mL) in MDBK cells. LSDV forms foci-like poxviral plaques in MDBK cells. A plaque-reduction neutralisation test was developed for LSDV antibody quantitation. A method for purification of LSDV genomic DNA was optimized.
Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is a poxvirus that causes systemic disease in cattle, resulting in substantial economic loss to affected communities. LSDV is a rapidly emerging pathogen of growing global concern that recently spread from Africa and the Middle East into Europe and Asia, impacting the cattle population in these regions. An increase in research efforts into LSDV is required to address key knowledge gaps, however this is hampered by lack of suitable cell lines on which to propagate and study the virus. In this work we describe the replication and spread of LSDV on Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells, and the formation of foci-type poxvirus plaques by LSDV on MDBK cells. Methods utilising MDBK cells to quantify neutralising antibodies to LSDV, and to purify LSDV genomic DNA suitable for short read sequencing are described. These research methods broaden the tools available for LSDV researchers and will facilitate the gathering of evidence to underpin the development of LSD control and prevention programmes.

Abstract
We report the first whole genome constellations of Mozambican rotavirus A strains detected between 2012 and 2013 in the Mavalane General Hospital in Maputo city and Manhiça District Hospital in the Manhiça district. Consensus sequences for ten DS-1-like strains (G2P[4] and G8P[4]) were identified with an Illumina Miseq platform using cDNA prepared from dsRNA extracted from stool samples, without genome amplification or prior adaptation to cell culture. Comparison of previously reported genotyping results and the consensus sequences described in this study, indicated that the genotype primers specific for G12 and P[4] might require revision. Phylogenetic analyses indicated diversity among the G2P[4] Mozambican strains and suggested reassortment between G2P[4] and G8P[4] Mozambican strains, as well as the intragenogroup reassortment of all the genome segments encoding VP1, 2, 3 and 6 for strain RVA/Human-wt/MOZ/0045/2012G8P[4]. These results highlight the necessity to determine whole genome constellations to confirm surveillance data in Africa and to monitor the growing diversity in DS-1-like strains.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Knowledge of an enterovirus genome sequence is very important in epidemiological investigation to identify transmission patterns and ascertain the extent of an outbreak. The MinION sequencer is increasingly used to sequence various viral pathogens in many clinical situations because of its long reads, portability, real-time accessibility of sequenced data, and very low initial costs. However, information is lacking on MinION sequencing of enterovirus genomes. METHODS In this proof-of-concept study using Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and Coxsackievirus A16 (CA16) strains as examples, we established an amplicon-based whole genome sequencing method using MinION. We explored the accuracy, minimum sequencing time, discrimination and high-throughput sequencing ability of MinION, and compared its performance with Sanger sequencing. RESULTS Within the first minute (min) of sequencing, the accuracy of MinION was 98.5% for the single EV71 strain and 94.12%-97.33% for 10 genetically-related CA16 strains. In as little as 14 min, 99% identity was reached for the single EV71 strain, and in 17 min (on average), 99% identity was achieved for 10 CA16 strains in a single run. CONCLUSION MinION is suitable for whole genome sequencing of enteroviruses with sufficient accuracy and fine discrimination and has the potential as a fast, reliable and convenient method for routine use.
