Differences in virus receptor for type I and type II feline infectious peritonitis virus. [PDF]
Feline infectious peritonitis viruses (FIPVs) are classified into type I and type II serogroups. Here, we report that feline aminopeptidase N (APN), a cell-surface metalloprotease on the intestinal, lung and kidney epithelial cells, is a receptor for ...

Implications of Tobacco Use on Pathogen‐Driven Diseases: A Public Health and Policy Perspective
ABSTRACT The tobacco epidemic remains one of the most significant global public health challenges, responsible for over 8 million deaths annually, with a substantial portion occurring among non‐smokers exposed to second‐hand smoke. While cigarette smoking remains the most prevalent form of tobacco use worldwide, the rise of electronic nicotine delivery

The Coronaviridae Now Comprises Two Genera, Coronavirus and Torovirus: Report of the Coronaviridae Study Group [PDF]
At the April 1992, mid-term meeting of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) a proposal from the Coronaviridae Study Group (CSG) to include the torovirus genus in the Coronaviridae was accepted. Following another proposal, the arterivirus genus was removed from the Togaviridae but not assigned to another family.

Differential roles of CCL2 and CCR2 in host defense to coronavirus infection. [PDF]
The CC chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1) is important in coordinating the immune response following microbial infection by regulating T cell polarization as well as leukocyte migration and accumulation within infected tissues.

Derivatives of MOPS: promising scaffolds for SARS coronaviruses Macro domain‐targeted inhibition
The SARS‐CoV/CoV‐2 genome encodes non‐structural protein 3, which contains a ‘Macro domain’. This protein domain exhibits antagonistic activity against interferon signaling, which disrupts the host innate immune response and can thus mediate viral escape, highlighting its therapeutic potential.
