• ssRNA negative strandOrthomyxoviridae: Influenza AFiloviridae: Ebola, MarburgBunyaviridae: Hanta virus, California encephalitis virus
• ssRNA positive strandCoronaviridae: SARS/CovFlaviviridae: Dengue, Yellow Fever Virus, West NileHerpeviridae: Hepatitis E
RNA viruses make up the RNA viruses make up the majoritymajority of emerging diseases of emerging diseases
Viral Genomics For Better Preparedness
1 Large datasets to track virus evolution and host shifts (Surveillance programs, Molecular Evolution)
2 Whole genomics approach to detect mutations in entire viral genomes (Focusing beyond surface proteins)
3 New tools for high throughput sequencing and analysis (Laboratory and Computational)
4 Data in public genomic and epidemiological databases (Reporting genetic and phenotypic links)
Influenza A Genome Sequencing Project
• Family Orthomyxoviridae• Segmented single-stranded negative RNA genome
HA, NA, NP, M, PB1, PB2, PA, NS
Antigenic drift: High mutation rateHA and NASelection by host immune system
Masters of Host Adaptation:Rapid viral adaptation requires yearly vaccine development
Antigenic shift: Viral meosis- mixing of segments due to coinfection with multiple strains
