DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Emerging viruses are a pressing biomedical problem, with the potential to cause significant morbidity and mortality. We aim to reveal the evolutionary processes that allow viruses to jump to, and become established in, new host species. We will continue and extend our work on two well characterized animal viruses that have successfully jumped species barriers to dogs in the recent past and which represent powerful and experimentally tractable models for human emerging viruses; the emergence of canine parvovirus (CPV) from feline panleukopenia virus (FPV), and the cross-species transfer of H3N8 equine influenza A virus (EIV) to dogs that resulted in the emergence of a canine influenza virus (CIV) that has been circulating in a limited fashion in the United States for the past 10 years. We will perform detailed studies to determine the evolutionary interactions between these viruses and the different host species and cell receptors they utilize, and which mediates viral emergence. We will investigate three overlapping areas using a synthesis of comparative and experimental approaches: 1. To define the role of intermediate and parallel hosts in cross-species virus transmission and adaptation. We will examine how the transfer of parvoviruses among multiple carnivore hosts influences their emergence, through the creation of evolutionary 'intermediates' that contain combinations of key host specific mutations, or by generating a wider spectrum of variants with the potential to infect previously resistant hosts. 2. To examine the short-term and long-term evolutionary interplay between viral capsids and the cell receptors of susceptible and resistant hosts. We will study variants of the host transferrin receptor type-1 (TfR) genes in a range of carnivore species that are susceptible to different parvoviruses, and examine the long-term evolutionary arms race between host receptor and viral capsid, including the evolutionary footprints present in endogenous parvoviruses. We will experimentally connect the variation of the TfR with that observed in the viral capsid protein. 3. To determine how the evolutionary trajectory of a virus shapes patterns of cross-species transmission and adaptation. Although H3N8 EIV first emerged in horses from birds in 1963, only in the last ~10 years has it jumped to dogs, and on multiple occasions. We will determine whether the extended passage of EIV in horses altered the likelihood of successful cross-species transmission to dogs, and define the viral genes that influence host tropism for dogs, particularly the evolutionary connections between the host sialic acid receptors and the viral hemagglutinin and neuraminidase genes. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project addresses one of the central questions in the evolution of infectious disease - the processes that mediate the emergence of viruses in new hosts. The research program proposed is a natural continuation of our work on host-jumping viruses from two different families - parvoviruses and influenza viruses - that represent powerful model systems for understanding disease emergence in humans. In both cases we are uniquely able to examine the ancestral viruses in the original hosts and their spread in the new host following the host jump and over the ensuing decades. By revealing the evolutionary processes that underpin cross- species virus transmission and emergence we will establish general rules that will assist in the control and prevention of future emergent viruses.

描述（由申请人提供）：新出现的病毒是一个紧迫的生物医学问题，有可能导致显着的发病率和死亡率。我们的目标是揭示病毒跳跃到新宿主物种并在新宿主物种中定居的进化过程。我们将继续并扩展我们对两种特征明确的动物病毒的研究，这两种病毒在最近已经成功地跨越了狗的物种障碍，并且代表了人类新兴病毒的强大且实验上易于处理的模型；来自猫泛白细胞减少症病毒 (FPV) 的犬细小病毒 (CPV) 的出现，以及 H3N8 马甲型流感病毒 (EIV) 向狗的跨物种传播导致了犬流感病毒 (CIV) 的出现，该病毒在过去 10 年中一直在美国以有限的方式传播。我们 将进行详细的研究，以确定这些病毒与不同宿主物种和它们利用的细胞受体之间的进化相互作用，以及介导病毒出现的因素。我们将综合使用比较和实验方法来研究三个重叠领域： 1. 定义中间宿主和平行宿主在跨物种病毒传播和适应中的作用。我们将研究细小病毒在多个食肉动物宿主之间的转移如何影响它们的出现，通过创建包含关键宿主特异性突变组合的进化“中间体”，或者通过产生更广泛的、有可能感染先前耐药宿主的变体。 2. 检查病毒衣壳与易感和耐药宿主的细胞受体之间的短期和长期进化相互作用。我们将研究一系列易受不同细小病毒影响的食肉动物物种中宿主转铁蛋白受体1型（TfR）基因的变体，并研究宿主受体和病毒衣壳之间的长期进化军备竞赛，包括内源性细小病毒中存在的进化足迹。我们将通过实验将 TfR 的变异与病毒衣壳蛋白中观察到的变异联系起来。 3. 确定病毒的进化轨迹如何塑造跨物种传播和适应的模式。尽管 H3N8 EIV 于 1963 年首次从鸟类身上出现在马身上，但直到最近 10 年左右才出现在狗身上，而且发生过多次。我们将确定EIV在马中的延长传代是否改变了向狗成功跨物种传播的可能性，并确定影响狗的宿主向性的病毒基因，特别是宿主唾液酸受体与病毒血凝素和神经氨酸酶基因之间的进化联系。 公共卫生相关性：该项目解决了传染病演变的核心问题之一——介导病毒在新宿主中出现的过程。拟议的研究计划是我们对来自两个不同家族（细小病毒和流感病毒）的宿主跳跃病毒工作的自然延续，它们代表了理解人类疾病出现的强大模型系统。在这两种情况下，我们都能够独特地检查原始宿主中的祖先病毒以及它们在宿主跳跃后以及随后的几十年中在新宿主中的传播。通过揭示支持跨物种病毒传播和出现的进化过程，我们将建立有助于控制和预防未来新出现病毒的一般规则。
