Diversity Patterns of Domestic Herbivore Viruses in China Reveal Transmission Dynamics with Disease Management Implications

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.
This study performs pan‐viromic profiling of 14,529 samples from 5,710 domestic herbivores across five Chinese provinces, establishing the DhCN‐Virome (1,085,360 viral metagenomes). It reveals species/sample‐specific viromic signatures and cross‐species transmission dynamics, aiding unified disease control.

Multi‐Layered Genomic and Clinical Analysis Identifies Novel Variants, Co‐Occurring Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Pairs, and Clinical Determinants of Host‐Pathogen Interaction in COVID‐19 Severity

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Host genetic factors may contribute to COVID‐19 severity. To identify genetic variants influencing COVID‐19 severity progression, whole‐exome sequencing was performed, followed by an exome‐wide association study on 191 hospitalized patients categorized into three severity groups.

Targeting Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Spike Fusion Machinery With Antiviral Peptides: In Silico Exploration of the Heptad Repeat 2 Domain

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Griffithsin, Brevinin‐2, and CCL20 were identified as potent MERS‐CoV fusion inhibitor candidates targeting the HR2 domain through integrated molecular docking, MD simulations, and MM/PBSA analyses. These peptides demonstrated superior binding stability and favorable safety profiles compared to the standard inhibitor, supporting their potential as ...

Development of ACE2-tropic-betacoronavirus therapeutics for future pandemic preparedness. [PDF]

Nat Commun
A major challenge during viral pandemics is the ability to develop therapeutics whose efficacy can withstand viral genetic evolution. During the COVID-19 pandemic, five SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics were rendered ineffective within a period of 2 years, leading to the U.S. FDA revoking their emergency use authorization.

Human Coronavirus 229E Uses ORF4/4a to Antagonize the Host Restriction Factor SERINC5

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
The seasonal human coronaviruses 229E and OC43 are common causes of mild respiratory infections but can cause severe disease in vulnerable individuals. Serine incorporator 5 (SERINC5) efficiently inhibits OC43, while hCoV‐229E uses its ORF4/4a accessory proteins to efficiently counteract this restriction by promoting relocalization of SERINC5 to ...

RBD‐SD1 Nanoparticle Vaccines From DPP4‐Using Merbecoviruses Elicit a Cross‐Reactive Antibody Response but Limited Cross‐Protective Immunity

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 5, Page 1338-1349, May 2026.
SpyCatcher‐mi3 nanoparticles displaying RBD‐SD1 from MERS‐CoV, NL140422, and HKU4 elicited robust and cross‐reactive IgG responses in mice. Only MERS‐CoV RBD‐SD1 induced neutralizing antibodies against MERS‐CoV and protected human DPP4 mice from a MERS‐CoV challenge, indicating conserved serologic but limited cross‐neutralizing epitopes.

Conserved Characteristics of NMPylation Activities of Alpha- and Betacoronavirus NiRAN Domains

Journal of Virology, 2023
There is strong evidence that coronaviruses and other large nidoviruses evolved a number of unique enzymatic activities, including an additional RdRp-associated NiRAN domain, that are conserved in nidoviruses but not in most other RNA viruses. Previous studies of the NiRAN domain mainly focused on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS ...

Designing Sandwich ELISA with Broadly Reactive Anti-Nucleocapsid Monoclonal Antibodies to Detect Bat-Borne Merbecoviruses

Viruses
At least three betacoronaviruses have spilled over from bats to humans and caused severe diseases, highlighting the threat of zoonotic transmission. Thus, it is important to enhance surveillance capabilities by developing tools capable of detecting a ...

Coronavirus Detection in Bats Captured on the Deforestation Arc of Mato Grosso, Brazil

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 281-287, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Coronaviruses (CoV) are RNA viruses associated with enteric and respiratory diseases and known for their emergence potential in humans and other mammals. CoVs originate from zoonotic transmission, in which bats are natural reservoirs. Previous studies suggest that CoV diversity is positively correlated with bat diversity, whereas anthropogenic

Alpha- and betacoronavirus cis-acting RNA elements

Current Opinion in Microbiology
Coronaviruses have exceptionally large RNA genomes and employ multiprotein replication/transcription complexes to orchestrate specific steps of viral RNA genome replication and expression. Most of these processes involve viral cis-acting RNA elements that are engaged in vital RNA–RNA and/or RNA–protein interactions.
