Detection, characterization, and phylogenetic analysis of novel astroviruses from endemic Malagasy fruit bats

Virology Journal
Bats (order: Chiroptera) are known to host a diverse range of viruses, some of which present a human public health risk. Thorough viral surveillance is therefore essential to predict and potentially mitigate zoonotic spillover.

The conserved human astrovirus-receptor interface reveals a targetable vulnerability for antiviral development

Nature Communications
Human astrovirus (HAstV) is a major cause of viral enteritis in children and the older adults worldwide. The eight serotypes of classical HAstVs (HAstV1-8), employ the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) as an entry receptor.
