Nitrogen Accumulation in Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) Slurry Exposed to Virucidal Cold Atmospheric Plasma Treatment
Nowotny, Norbert (2021)Abstract: Viral contamination of edible bivalves is a major food safety issue. We studied the virucidal effect of a cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) source on two virologically different surrogate viruses [a double-stranded ... -
No Evidence of Mosquito Involvement in the Transmission of Equine Hepacivirus (Flaviviridae) in an Epidemiological Survey of Austrian Horses
Nowotny, Norbert (2019)Prevalence studies have demonstrated a global distribution of equine hepacivirus (EqHV), a member of the family Flaviviridae. However, apart from a single case of vertical transmission, natural routes of EqHV transmission ... -
A novel HRM assay for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of eight poxviruses of medical and veterinary importance
Nowotny, Norbert (2017-02-20)Abstract: Poxviruses belonging to the Orthopoxvirus, Capripoxvirus and Parapoxvirus genera share common host species and create a challenge for diagnosis. Here, we developed a novel multiplex PCR method for the simultaneous ... -

Nowotny, Norbert (2020)Abstract: Ocellatins are peptides produced in the skins of frogs belonging to the genus Leptodactylus that generally display weak antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria only. Peptidomic analysis of ... -
Peptidomic analysis of the host-defense peptides in skin secretions of the Amazon River frog Lithobates palmipes (Ranidae)
Nowotny, Norbert (2023)Abstract: Skin secretions of certain frog species represent a source of host-defense peptides (HDPs) with therapeutic potential and their primary structures provide insight into taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships. ... -
Phylogenetic Analysis of Lednice Orthobunyavirus
Nowotny, Norbert (2019)Abstract: Lednice virus (LEDV) has been detected in Culex modestus mosquitoes in several European countries within the last six decades. In this study, phylogenetic analyses of the complete genome segments confirm that ... -
Phylogeny of tick-derived Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus strains in Iran
Nowotny, Norbert (2016-07-22)The presence of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) in Iran was assessed by collecting ticks from Golpayegan, Isfahan Province. Real time RT-PCR was used to detect the CCHFV RNA in the tick population and the ... -
Possibility and Challenges of Conversion of Current Virus Species Names toLinnaean Binomials
Nowotny, Norbert (2017-05-01)Botanical, mycological, zoological, and prokaryotic species names follow the Linnaean format, consisting of anitalicized Latinized binomen with a capitalized genus name and a lower case species epithet (e.g.,Homo sapiens). ... -
Potentially Zoonotic Viruses in Wild Rodents, United Arab Emirates, 2019—A Pilot Study
Loney, Tom; Alsheikh-Ali, Alawi; Nowotny, Norbert (2023)Abstract: The majority of emerging viral infectious diseases in humans originate from wildlife reservoirs, such as rodents and bats. We investigated a possible reservoir, namely wild gerbils and mice trapped in a desert ... -
Rustrela Virus-Associated Encephalomyelitis (‘Staggering Disease’) in Cats from Eastern Austria, 1994–2016
Nowotny, Norbert (2023)Abstract: Clinical cases of ‘staggering disease’, a nonsuppurative encephalomyelitis associated with gait abnormalities in cats, have been documented for decades in Sweden. In Austria, an increased incidence was observed ... -
SARS-CoV-2 Whole Genome Amplification and Sequencing for Effective Population-Based Surveillance and Control of Viral Transmission
Loney, Tom; Al Suwaidi, Hanan; Nowotny, Norbert; Alsheikh-Ali, Alawi; Tayoun, Ahmad Abou (2020)BACKGROUND: With the gradual reopening of economies and resumption of social life, robust surveillance mechanisms should be implemented to control the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike RT-qPCR, SARSCoV- 2 whole genome ... -
SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19: Viral Genomics, Epidemiology, Vaccines, and Therapeutic Interventions
Uddin, Mohammed; Loney, Tom; Al Suwaidi, Hanan; Adrian, Thomas E; Nowotny, Norbert; Alsheikh-Ali, Alawi; Senok, Abiola C (2020)Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic is due to infection caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus that impacts the lower respiratory tract. The spectrum of symptoms ranges from asymptomatic infections to mild respiratory symptoms ... -
A Serological Protein Microarray for Detection of Multiple Cross-Reactive Flavivirus Infections in Horses for Veterinary and Public Health Surveillance
Nowotny, Norbert (2017)Abstract: The genus Flavivirus in the family Flaviviridae includes some of the most important examples of emerging zoonotic arboviruses that are rapidly spreading across the globe. Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), West ... -
Serological surveillance for Tahyna virus (California encephalitis orthobunyavirus, Peribunyaviridae) neutralizing antibodies in wild ungulates in Austria, Hungary and Romania
Nowotny, Norbert (2018-06)Abstract: A serosurvey for Tahyna virus (TAHV), a mosquito- borne California encephalitis or-thobunyavirus (Peribunyaviridae) endemic to Europe, was performed to estimate the activity of TAHV on a broad ... -
Severe Neurologic Disease in a Horse Caused by Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus, Austria, 2021
Nowotny, Norbert (2023)Abstract: As evidenced by sero-epidemiological studies, infections of horses with the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) occur frequently in TBEV-endemic areas. However, there are only very few reports of clinical cases. ... -
