The first vaccine against chikungunya virus (CHIKV) was recently licensed in the U.S., Europe, and Canada (brand IXCHIQ®, referred to as VLA1553). Other pathogenic alphaviruses co-circulate with CHIKV and major questions remain regarding the potential of

Sequence coding for the alphavirus nonstructural proteins is interrupted by an opal termination codon [PDF]
We have obtained the nucleotide sequence of the genomic RNAs of two alphaviruses, Sindbis virus and Middelburg virus, over an extensive region encoding the nonstructural (replicase) proteins.

Expression, Enzymatic Activities and Subcellular Localization of Hepatitis E Virus and Semliki Forest Virus Replicase Proteins [PDF]
Viruses are submicroscopic, infectious agents that are obligate intracellular parasites. They adopt various types of strategies for their parasitic replication and proliferation in infected cells.

Identification and Characterization of a Ross River Virus Variant That Grows Persistently in Macrophages, Shows Altered Disease Kinetics in a Mouse Model, and Exhibits Resistance to Type I Interferon [PDF]
Alphaviruses, such as chikungunya virus, o'nyong-nyong virus, and Ross River virus (RRV), cause outbreaks of human rheumatic disease worldwide. RRV is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus endemic to Australia and Papua New Guinea. In this study, we

Trans-Amplifying RNA: A Journey from Alphavirus Research to Future Vaccines
Replicating RNA, including self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) and trans-amplifying RNA (taRNA), holds great potential for advancing the next generation of RNA-based vaccines.

Advances in dissecting mosquito innate immune responses to arbovirus infection [PDF]
Arthropod-borne viruses – arboviruses – are a significant threat to public health. Whilst there is considerable knowledge about arbovirus interactions with vertebrate immunity, relatively little is known about how vectors such as mosquitoes control ...

In 1993, an outbreak of encephalitis among 125 affected equids in coastal Chiapas, Mexico, resulted in a 50% case-fatality rate. The outbreak was attributed to Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) subtype IE, not previously associated with equine ...

Pseudotyped Lentiviral Vectors: One Vector, Many Guises [PDF]
Viruses have evolved specialized molecular mechanisms to transfer their genome efficiently into host cells. Viruses can be repurposed into viral vectors to achieve controlled gene transfer to desired cells.

Mechanism of membrane tube formation induced by adhesive nanocomponents
We report numerical simulations of membrane tubulation driven by large colloidal particles. Using Monte Carlo simulations we study how the process depends on particle size, concentration and binding strength, and present accurate free energy calculations
