Vesicle-Cloaked Virus Clusters Are Optimal Units for Inter-organismal Viral Transmission

Abstract: In enteric viral infections, such as those with rotavirus and norovirus, individual viral particles shed in stool are considered the optimal units of fecal-oral transmission. We reveal that rotaviruses and noroviruses are also shed in stool as viral clusters enclosed within vesicles that deliver a high inoculum to the receiving host. Cultured cells non-lytically release rotaviruses and noroviruses inside extracellular vesicles. In addition, stools of infected hosts contain norovirus and rotavirus within vesicl… Show more

“…The implications of multiple infection in these diverse systems are still being explored. In a number of cases, however, collective delivery was demonstrated to increase the efficiency of infection relative to free virus particles 4, 5 , or to increase the rate of genetic exchange through recombination 6 .…”

“…Our models have assumed that CIUs evolve due to the benefits of collective transmission. However, an alternative possibility is that collective transmission could be a by-product of selection for infectious units that are favoured for other reasons, such as increased infectivity or particle stability (Sanjuán 2017; Santiana et al 2018). In that case, collective infection would be a consequence, but not a cause, of the evolution of CIUs, and so different kinds of explanations would be required to explain when CIUs evolve in nature.…”

“…Recent studies suggest instead that enteric viruses travel in groups (5). In particular, they cluster i) in vesicles with inverted phosphatidilserine (PS) topology (6,7), and ii) at the surface of selected bacterial species (8,9). Both mechanisms promote the concentration of viral particles at the surface of the epithelial monolayer of the GI tract, in turn increasing locally the multiplicity of infection and the chances of a successful infection.…”

“…Both mechanisms promote the concentration of viral particles at the surface of the epithelial monolayer of the GI tract, in turn increasing locally the multiplicity of infection and the chances of a successful infection. In addition, a recent report suggests that viruscloaked vesicles are also found in stools and those confer an advantage also in viral transmission (7).…”
