Article Abstract
The Akabane virus (AKAV) is a significant member of the Orthobunyavirus genus, with its envelope glycoprotein Gc, focusing on its molecular structural features, immunoregulatory mechanisms, and application value in pathogen diagnosis and vaccine design. As a key structural protein of AKAV, Gc mediates virus adsorption and neutralizing antibody recognition through the N-terminal highly variable region (HVR), while the C-terminal conserved region (CR) dominates the membrane fusion process, and its glycosylation modification has a significant regulatory effect on protein function. In clinical diagnostics, serological assays based on Gc proteins (e.g., ELISA, immunochromatographic test strips) have been standardized; in vaccine development, the neutralizing epitope of Gc proteins has become a core target for subunit vaccine design. Follow-up studies were deeply needed to analyze the structure-function interaction mechanism of Gc proteins to provide theoretical support for the construction of a new type of AKAV prevention and control system.

Arboviruses, transmitted to humans and animals by blood-feeding arthropods, pose significant public health risks. This study investigates the types, distribution, and epidemiology of arboviruses in the central Yuxi region of Yunnan Province, providing crucial data for the prevention and control of mosquito-borne diseases. In 2015, mosquitoes were collected from Tonghai County, Huaning County, Jiangchuan District, and Chengjiang County in Yuxi using light traps.

Akabane virus (AKAV) is an arbovirus belonging to the genus Orthobunyavirus within the family Peribunyaviridae, order Elliovirales, capable of infecting ruminants such as cattle, sheep, and goats. This arthropod-borne virus is transmitted by mosquitoes or midges and has been recognized as a contributor to outbreaks of reproductive disorders. This study investigates the seroprevalence of AKAV infection in cattle across various regions in Egypt, along with an analysis of potential risk factors contributing to the infection.

In China, the Akabane virus (AKAVs) has been reported in several host species. However, data regarding goats is still showing a gap. Akabane virus (AKAV) is an insect-borne virus from the family that in ruminant species, particularly affects pregnant animals, resulting in abortions, stillbirths, and premature broth, often with congenital abnormalities.
