“Fertile” Mutations in SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA More Frequently Occurred in Hairpin Loops That Determine Virus Evolution

open access: yesAPMIS, Volume 133, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT RNA hairpins may constitute a foundation of genetic evolution both in viruses and other organisms. Stem‐loops theoretically comprise a stable part, the double‐stranded stem, and a single‐stranded loop allowing evolution. Here we tested for SARS‐CoV‐2 if “fertile” mutations were in loops while mutations in stems were poorly tolerated and rarely

Alphavirus-Based Vaccines

open access: yesViruses, 2014
Alphavirus vectors have demonstrated high levels of transient heterologous gene expression both in vitro and in vivo and, therefore, possess attractive features for vaccine development.

Why enveloped viruses need cores -- the contribution of a nucleocapsid core to viral budding

open access: yes, 2017
During the alphavirus lifecycle, a nucleocapsid core buds through the cell membrane to acquire an outer envelope of lipid membrane and viral glycoproteins. However, the presence of a nucleocapsid core is not required for assembly of infectious particles.

Mutations in the E2 glycoprotein and the 3\u27 untranslated region enhance chikungunya virus virulence in mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted alphavirus that causes debilitating musculoskeletal pain and inflammation and can persist for months to years after acute infection.

Betanodavirus Quantification and IFN I‐Antagonism Detection Using Luciferase Reporter Systems Based on Fish mx Promoters

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Mx genes display strong and quick induction in response to viral infections, which varies according to the viral virulence; furthermore, mx transcription is blocked by several viruses as part of their immune evasion strategies. Therefore, the level and time course of mx induction reflect virus–host interplay. This idea prompted the development

A customized program for the identification of conserved protein sequence motifs

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2020
We searched for viral protein sequences that could be important for tissue tropism. To achieve this goal, human pathogenic viruses were classified according to the tissue they infect (e.g., pulmonary), irrespective of whether they were enveloped or non ...

Evolutionary Relationships and Systematics of the Alphaviruses [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2001
ABSTRACT Partial E1 envelope glycoprotein gene sequences and complete structural polyprotein sequences were used to compare divergence and construct phylogenetic trees for the genus Alphavirus . Tree topologies indicated that the mosquito-borne alphaviruses could have arisen in either the Old or the New ...

Controlled Field Trial of Pancreas Disease Vaccines in Farmed Atlantic Salmon: Effects on Growth and Mortality During a SAV2 Outbreak

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Pancreas disease (PD), caused by salmonid alphavirus (SAV), is a concern for salmon aquaculture in Scotland, Ireland and Norway. This article presents results from a controlled field trial monitoring three study groups from vaccination to harvest.
