Neutralization and receptor use of infectious culture–derived rat hepacivirus as a model for HCV
Abstract Background and Aims Lack of tractable immunocompetent animal models amenable to robust experimental challenge impedes vaccine efforts for HCV. Infection with rodent hepacivirus from Rattus norvegicus (RHV‐rn1) in rats shares HCV‐defining characteristics, including liver tropism, chronicity, and pathology.

Research progress on pharmacological effects and new dosage forms of baicalin
This current review offers a comprehensive report on the anti‐inflammatory, anti‐oxidant, anti‐viral and anti‐tumor of baicalin, the application of new dosage forms of baicalin to the development progress which would be an effective medicine for clinical application.

Abstract Background and Aims A prophylactic vaccine targeting multiple HCV genotypes (gt) is urgently required to meet World Health Organization elimination targets. Neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are associated with spontaneous clearance of HCV, and each may contribute to protective immunity.

Natural co‐infection of divergent hepatitis B and C virus homologues in carnivores
Abstract In humans, co‐infection of hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV, HCV) is common and aggravates disease outcome. Infection‐mediated disease aggravation is poorly understood, partly due to lack of suitable animal models. Carnivores are understudied for hepatitis virus homologues.

Summary Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains a leading cause of liver‐related pathologies and a global health problem, currently affecting more than 71 million people worldwide. The development of a prophylactic vaccine is much needed to complement the effective antiviral treatment available and achieve HCV eradication.

Background and Aims Equine hepacivirus (EqHV) is phylogenetically the closest relative of HCV and shares genome organization, hepatotropism, transient or persistent infection outcome, and the ability to cause hepatitis. Thus, EqHV studies are important to understand equine liver disease and further as an outbred surrogate animal model for HCV ...

Abstract Equine parvovirus hepatitis (EqPV‐H) was first described in 2018 in a fatal case of Theiler's disease which followed the administration of an equine‐origin biological product. The virus has since been frequently identified in serum and liver tissue of horses affected by Theiler's disease—an acute, severe hepatitis characterised by fulminant ...

Structure of a Pestivirus Envelope Glycoprotein E2 Clarifies Its Role in Cell Entry
Enveloped viruses have developed various adroit mechanisms to invade their host cells. This process requires one or more viral envelope glycoprotein to achieve cell attachment and membrane fusion.

Morphology and Molecular Composition of Purified Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Envelope.
The family Flaviviridae includes viruses that have different virion structures and morphogenesis mechanisms. Most cellular and molecular studies have been so far performed with viruses of the Hepacivirus and Flavivirus genera.
