    Abstract With over 80 members worldwide, Orthobunyavirus is the largest genus in the Peribunyaviridae family. Orthobunyaviruses (OBVs) are arthropod-borne viruses that are structurally simple, with a trisegmented, negative-sense RNA genome and only four structural proteins. OBVs are potential agents of emerging and re-emerging diseases and overall represent a global threat to both public and veterinary health. The focus of this review is on the very first steps of OBV infection in mammalian hosts, from virus binding to penetration and release of the viral genome into the cytosol. Here, we address the most current knowledge and advances regarding OBV receptors, endocytosis, and fusion.

    Abstract Background: In May 2022, a multi-national mpox outbreak was reported in several non-endemic countries. The only licensed treatment for mpox in the European Union is the orally available small molecule tecovirimat, which in Orthopox viruses inhibits the function of a major envelope protein required for the production of extracellular virus.
    Methods: We identified presumably all patients with mpox that were treated with tecovirimat in Germany between the onset of the outbreak in May 2022 and March 2023 and obtained demographic and clinical characteristics by standardized case report forms.
    Results: A total of twelve patients with mpox were treated with tecovirimat in Germany in the study period. All but one patient identified as men who have sex with men (MSM) who were most likely infected with mpox virus (MPXV) through sexual contact. Eight of them were people living with HIV (PLWH), one of whom was newly diagnosed with HIV at the time of mpox, and four had CD4+ counts below 200/µl. Criteria for treatment with tecovirimat included severe immunosuppression, severe generalized and/or protracted symptoms, a high or increasing number of lesions, and the type and location of lesions (e.g., facial or oral soft tissue involvement, imminent epiglottitis, or tonsillar swelling). Patients were treated with tecovirimat for between six and 28 days. Therapy was generally well-tolerated, and all patients showed clinical resolution.
    Conclusions: In this cohort of twelve patients with severe mpox, treatment with tecovirimat was well tolerated and all individuals showed clinical improvement.

    Abstract The sand fly-borne Toscana virus (TOSV) is the major cause of human meningoencephalitis in the Mediterranean basin during the summer season. In this work, we have developed a T7 RNA polymerase-driven reverse genetics system to recover infectious particles of a lineage B strain of TOSV. The viral protein pattern and growth properties of the rescued virus (rTOSV) were found to be similar to those of the corresponding wild-type (wt) virus. Using this system, we genetically engineered a TOSV mutant lacking expression of the non-structural protein NSs (rTOSVɸNSs). Unlike rTOSV and the wt virus, rTOSVɸNSs was unable to (i) suppress interferon (IFN)-b messenger RNA induction; and (ii) grow efficiently in cells producing IFN-b. Together, our results highlight the importance of NSs for TOSV in evading the IFN response and provide a comprehensive toolbox to investigate the TOSV life cycle in mammalian and insect host cells, including several novel polyclonal antibodies.
