AB  - Rickettsiales bacteria in arthropods play a significant role in both public health and arthropod ecology. However, the extensive genetic diversity of Rickettsiales endosymbionts of arthropods is still to be discovered. In 2016, 515 arthropods belonging to 9 species of four classes (Insecta, Chilopoda, Diplopoda and Arachnida) were collected in Serbia. The presence and genetic diversity of Rickettsiales bacteria were evaluated by characterizing the 16S rRNA (rrs), citrate synthase (gltA) and heat shock protein (groEL) genes. The presence of various Rickettsiales bacteria was identified in the majority of tested arthropod species. The results revealed co-circulation of five recognized Rickettsiales species including Rickettsia, Ehrlichia and Wolbachia, as well as four tentative novel species, including one tentative novel genus named Neowolbachia. These results suggest the remarkable genetic diversity of Rickettsiales bacteria in certain arthropod species in this region. Furthermore, the high prevalence of spotted fever group Rickettsia in Ixodes ricinus ticks highlights the potential public health risk of human Rickettsia infection.

AB  - The Dobrava-Belgrade virus (DOBV) is a member of the Bunyaviridae
   family, genus Hantavirus, possessing a single-stranded RNA genome
   consisting of three segments, designated L (large), M (medium) and S
   (small). In this study, we present phylogenetic analysis of a newly
   detected DOBV strain isolated from Apodemus agrarius. Analysis was based
   on partial L and S segment sequences, in comparison to previously
   published DOBV sequences from Serbia and elsewhere. A phylogenetic tree
   based on partial S segment revealed local geographical clustering of
   DOBV sequences from Serbia, unrelated to host (rodent or human). The
   topology of the phylogenetic tree was confirmed with a high percent of
   completely or partially resolved quartets in likelihood-mapping
   analysis, whereas no evidence of possible recombination in the examined
   S segment data set was found.

AB  - Tula hantavirus (TULV) belongs to Bunyaviridae family, with negative
   sense RNA genome. Segmented nature of hantaviral genome allows for
   genetic reassortment, but the evidence of homologous recombination also
   exists. In this study we analyzed TULV sequences isolated in Serbia on
   different occasions and from different rodent hosts: 1987 strain from
   Microtus subterraneus and 2007 strain from Microtus arvalis.
   Phylogenetic analysis of both L and S segment sequences is suggestive of
   geographically related clustering, as previously shown for majority of
   hantaviruses. Reconstruction of phylogenetic tree for TULV S segment
   showed that both sequences from Serbia clustered together with sequences
   from East Slovakia, which had previously been shown to be recombinants
   (Kosice strain). Exploratory recombination analysis, supported by
   phylogenetic and amino acid pattern analysis, revealed the presence of
   recombination in the S segment sequences from Serbia, resulting in
   mosaic-like structure of TULV S segment similar to the one of Kosice
   strain. Although recombination is considered a rare event in molecular
   evolution of negative strand RNA viruses, obtained molecular data in
   this study support evidence of recombination in TULV, in geographically
   distant regions of Europe. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
