A preliminary study of viral metagenomics of French bat species in contact with humans: identification of new mammalian viruses. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The prediction of viral zoonosis epidemics has become a major public health issue. A profound understanding of the viral population in key animal species acting as reservoirs represents an important step towards this goal.

First Report of Tomato yellow ring virus (Tospovirus, Bunyaviridae) Infecting Tomato in Kenya

Plant Disease, 2012
Tomato (Lycoperscion esculentum) is one of the most popular vegetables and a major source of nutrition and income for smallholders in Africa. Thrips-transmitted tospoviruses are among the economically important pathogens of tomatoes that cause significant crop losses worldwide (3).

The Antiviral RNAi Response in Vector and Non-vector Cells against Orthobunyaviruses.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
BackgroundVector arthropods control arbovirus replication and spread through antiviral innate immune responses including RNA interference (RNAi) pathways. Arbovirus infections have been shown to induce the exogenous small interfering RNA (siRNA) and Piwi-

Punta Toro virus (Bunyaviridae, Phlebovirus) infection in mice: Strain differences in pathogenesis and host interferon response

Virology, 2009
The Adames strain of Punta Toro virus (PTV-A, Bunyaviridae, Phlebovirus) causes an acute lethal disease in hamsters and mice. The Balliet strain of the virus (PTV-B) is generally considered to be avirulent. The difference in hamster susceptibility is likely due to the ability of PTV-A to suppress interferon (IFN)-beta similarly to that described for ...

First Report of Natural Infection of Peanut (Groundnut) by Impatiens Necrotic Spot Tospovirus (Family Bunyaviridae)

Plant Disease, 1999
Impatiens necrotic spot tospovirus (INSV) of the family Bunyaviridae is an important viral pathogen of ornamentals and a major constraint in the greenhouse industry (2). Evidence of natural infection of peanut (groundnut, Arachis hypogaea L.) by INSV was found in samples collected from three sites in Frio County, TX, and one site each in Mitchell and ...

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 221-245, June 2026.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

C6/36 Aedes albopictus cells have a dysfunctional antiviral RNA interference response. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
Mosquitoes rely on RNA interference (RNAi) as their primary defense against viral infections. To this end, the combination of RNAi and invertebrate cell culture systems has become an invaluable tool in studying virus-vector interactions.

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 26, 30 March 2026.
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...
