Characterisation of extracellular vesicles in baculovirus infection of Spodoptera frugiperda cells
Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) is an enveloped DNA virus of the Baculoviridae family. This baculovirus is widely exploited for the biological control of insect pest species and as an expression platform to produce ...

The Transmissibility of the Human Skin Virome: Potential Forensic Implications. [PDF]
To robustly establish the forensic potential of the human skin virome, continuous research and investigation across diverse ethnic groups are necessary. This study evaluated the stability and transmissibility of the skin virome in Koreans. Our results show that the skin virome is stable over time and can be shared through contact with objects ...

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 23: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2025. [PDF]
Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of relevant knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Extension of the viral ecology in humans using viral profile hidden Markov models. [PDF]
When human samples are sequenced, many assembled contigs are "unknown", as conventional alignments find no similarity to known sequences. Hidden Markov models (HMM) exploit the positions of specific nucleotides in protein-encoding codons in various ...

Protein target highlights in CASP15: Analysis of models by structure providers
Abstract We present an in‐depth analysis of selected CASP15 targets, focusing on their biological and functional significance. The authors of the structures identify and discuss key protein features and evaluate how effectively these aspects were captured in the submitted predictions.

Baculovirus Per Os Infectivity Factors Form a Complex on the Surface of Occlusion-Derived Virus [PDF]
Five highly conserved per os infectivity factors, PIF1, PIF2, PIF3, PIF4, and P74, have been reported to be essential for oral infectivity of baculovirus occlusion-derived virus (ODV) in insect larvae.

Abstract Host–pathogen dynamics are influenced by many factors that vary locally, but models of disease rarely consider dynamics across spatially heterogeneous environments. In addition, theory predicts that dispersal will influence host–pathogen dynamics of populations that are linked, although this has not been examined empirically in natural systems.
