Host-Driven Ubiquitination Events in Vector-Transmitted RNA Virus Infections as Options for Broad-Spectrum Therapeutic Intervention Strategies

open access: yesViruses
Many vector-borne viruses are re-emerging as public health threats, yet our understanding of the virus–host interactions critical for productive infection remains limited. The ubiquitination of proteins, including host- and pathogen-derived proteins is a

The Poisson CUSUM Chart for Monitoring Small Counts: Addressing the Estimation Uncertainty

open access: yesBiometrical Journal, Volume 68, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the impact of estimating in‐control parameters on the performance of the Poisson cumulative sum (CUSUM) chart in detecting an increase in the mean when the counts are small. To reduce false signals induced by estimation uncertainty, recommendations prescribe impractically large sample sizes or propose methods that widen ...

Site-directed mutagenesis of the proposed catalytic amino acids of the Sindbis virus capsid protein autoprotease [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
The structural proteins of Sindbis virus are translated as a polyprotein precursor that is cleaved upon translation. The capsid protein is postulated to be a serine protease that releases itself from the N terminus of the nascent polyprotein by ...

Viruses and the cellular RNA decay machinery. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The ability to control cellular and viral gene expression, either globally or selectively, is central to a successful viral infection, and it is also crucial for the host to respond and eradicate pathogens.

Triple Burden in the Democratic Republic of Congo: Climate Change, Armed Conflict, and the Silent Spread of Arboviruses. A Narrative Review

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) faces a “triple burden” of public health threats which includes climate change, protracted armed conflict, and the under‐recognized spread of arboviral diseases. Arboviruses, such as dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever, are transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes ...

LDL receptor in alphavirus entry: structural analysis and implications for antiviral therapy

open access: yesNature Communications
Various low-density lipoprotein receptors (LPRs) have been identified as entry factors for alphaviruses, and structures of the corresponding virion-receptor complexes have been determined. Here, we analyze the similarities and differences in the receptor

Oncolytic Therapy: Delivery System and New Therapeutic Strategies for Cancer

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
This review summarizes recent advances in nanoparticle‐ and cell‐mediated OVs delivery strategies that improve biodistribution and tumor targeting while limiting immune clearance. It also examines combination approaches that enhance therapeutic efficacy through tumor microenvironment modulation or immune activation, thereby overcoming immunosuppression

Antivirals Targeting Coronavirus RNA‐Dependent RNA Polymerase and Main Protease: From Mechanisms of Action to Outcomes in COVID‐19 Clinical Trials

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
The target sites of COVID‐19 antivirals discussed in the present opinion paper, namely the RNA dependent RNA polymerase Nsp12 and of the main viral protease Nsp5, are indicated by a red star in the overview of the replication cycle of coronavirus SARS‐CoV‐2.

TRIM32 inhibits Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus infection by targeting a late step in viral entry.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens
Alphaviruses are mosquito borne RNA viruses that are a reemerging public health threat. Alphaviruses have a broad host range, and can cause diverse disease outcomes like arthritis, and encephalitis.
