Re-Assembly and Analysis of an Ancient Variola Virus Genome
Viruses, 2017 We report a major improvement to the assembly of published short read sequencing data from an ancient variola virus (VARV) genome by the removal of contig-capping sequencing tags and manual searches for gap-spanning reads. The new assembly, together with

Mpox and the Ethics of Outbreak Management: Lessons for Future Public Health Crises
Developing World Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mpox, first identified in captive monkeys in 1958 and recognized in humans by 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, was historically confined to sporadic zoonotic outbreaks in Central and West Africa. These outbreaks, often driven by rodent‐to‐human transmission in resource‐limited settings, reflect persistent systemic health disparities ...

Incongruencies in Vaccinia Virus Phylogenetic Trees
Computation, 2014 Over the years, as more complete poxvirus genomes have been sequenced, phylogenetic studies of these viruses have become more prevalent. In general, the results show similar relationships between the poxvirus species; however, some inconsistencies are ...

Biochemical prevention and treatment of viral infections – A new paradigm in medicine for infectious diseases [PDF]
, 2004 For two centuries, vaccination has been the dominating approach to develop prophylaxis against viral infections through immunological prevention. However, vaccines are not always possible to make, are ineffective for many viral infections, and also carry

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract In the context of current global change, variations in water temperature are one of the environmental conditions with serious consequences for marine life, including reproductive processes. In the small spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula, spermatogenesis occurs in spermatocysts composed of synchronously developing germ cells associated ...

Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets
Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 475-512, March 2026.ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...
