Molecular characterization of Hovenia dulcis-associated virus 1 (HDaV1) and 2 (...
Nery, Flávia M. B.; Melo, Fernando Lucas; Boiteux, Leonardo Silva; Ribeiro, Simone G.; Resende, Renato de Oliveira; Orílio, Anelise FrancoIn a systematic field survey for plant-infecting viruses, leaf tissues were collected from trees showing virus-like symptoms in Brazil. After viral enrichment, total RNA was extracted and sequenced using the MiSeq platform (Illumina). Two nearly full-length picorna-like genomes of 9534 and 8158 nucleotides were found associated with Hovenia dulcis (Rhamnaceae family). Based upon their genomic information, speci...

Draft genome sequence of Bacillus thuringiensis 147, a Brazilian strain with hi...
Barbosa, Luiz Carlos Bertucci; Farias, Débora Lopes; Silva, Isabella de Moraes Guimarães; Melo, Fernando Lucas; Ribeiro, Bergmann MoraisBacillus thuringiensisis a ubiquitous Gram-positive and sporulating bacterium. Its crystals and secreted toxins are useful tools against larvae of diverse insect orders and, as a consequence, an alternative to recalcitrant chemical insecticides. We report here the draft genome sequence ofB. thuringiensis147, a strain isolated from Brazil and with high insecticidal activity. The assembled genome contained 6,167,...
The genome sequence of Pseudoplusia includens single nucleopolyhedrovirus and a...
Craveiro, Saluana Rocha; Inglis, Peter W.; Togawa, Roberto Coiti; Grynberg, Priscila; Melo, Fernando Lucas; Ribeiro, Zilda Maria de AraújoBackground: Pseudoplusia includens single nucleopolyhedrovirus (PsinSNPV-IE) is a baculovirus recently identified in our laboratory, with high pathogenicity to the soybean looper, Chrysodeixis includens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) (Walker, 1858). In Brazil, the C. includens caterpillar is an emerging pest and has caused significant losses in soybean and cotton crops. The PsinSNPV genome was determined and the phyl...
Homology modeling and molecular dynamics provide structural insights into tospo...
Lima, Rayane Nunes; Faheem, Muhammad; Barbosa, João Alexandre Ribeiro Gonçalves; Polêto, Marcelo Depólo; Verli, Hugo; Melo, Fernando LucasBackground: Tospovirus is a plant-infecting genus within the family Bunyaviridae, which also includes four animalinfecting genera: Hantavirus, Nairovirus, Phlebovirus and Orthobunyavirus. Compared to these members, the structures of Tospovirus proteins still are poorly understood. Despite multiple studies have attempted to identify candidate N protein regions involved in RNA binding and protein multimerization ...
A betabaculovirus encoding a gp64 homolog
Araújo, Daniel Mendes Pereira Ardisson de; Pereira, Bruna T.; Melo, Fernando Lucas; Ribeiro, Bergmann Morais; Báo, Sônia NairBackground: A betabaculovirus (DisaGV) was isolated from Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), one of the most important insect pests of the sugarcane and other monocot cultures in Brazil. Results: The complete genome sequence of DisaGV was determined using the 454-pyrosequencing method. The genome was 98,392 bp long, which makes it the smallest lepidopteran-infecting baculovirus sequenced to date. It ...
Distribution of hepatitis B virus genotypes and viral load levels in Brazilian ...
Alcalde, Rosana; Melo, Fernando Lucas; Nishiya, Anna; Ferreira, Suzete Cleusa; Langhi Júnior, Mario Dante; Fernandes, Simone SenaO objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a carga viral no soro de pacientes cronicamente infectados pelo vírus da Hepatite B (HBV) e investigar a distribuição de genótipos HBV na cidade de São Paulo. PCR quantitativo do HBV e genotipagem ganharam importância para a previsão de progressão da doença, empregada para avaliar a infectividade, para tratamento e acompanhamento e para detectar o aparecimento de resist...
