CD81 is a receptor for equine arteritis virus (family: Arteriviridae) [PDF]
mBioArteriviruses are a family of single-stranded, positive-sense RNA (+ssRNA) viruses that infect diverse animal hosts. Many arteriviruses are macrophage-tropic, consistent with their utilization of the macrophage-specific molecule CD163 as a receptor ...

Computational modelling of the equine arteritis virus GP5/M Dimer: Implications for immune evasion and virulence. [PDF]
PLoS ONEEquine arteritis virus (EAV) is a positive-stranded RNA virus of the Arteriviridae family. Its GP5/M dimer, the principal component of the viral envelope, mediates virus budding and serves as a key target for neutralizing antibodies. Using AlphaFold3, we
