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

Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets
Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.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 ...

Cowpox virus outbreak in banded mongooses (Mungos mungo) and jaguarundis (Herpailurus yagouaroundi) with a time-delayed infection to humans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Often described as an extremely rare zoonosis, cowpox virus (CPXV) infections are on the increase in Germany. CPXV is rodent-borne with a broad host range and contains the largest and most complete genome of all poxviruses, including parts ...

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 572-582, March 2025.ABSTRACT The antitumor efficacy of an intratumoral injection of a genetically engineered oncolytic vaccinia virus carrying human IL‐7 and murine IL‐12 genes (hIL‐7/mIL‐12‐VV) was demonstrated in CT26.WT‐bearing mice. In the CT26.WT‐bearing mouse model, the efficacy of the combination of hIL‐7/mIL‐12‐VV plus the anti‐programmed cell death protein (PD)‐1

Cowpox Virus Transmission from Pet Rats to Humans, Germany
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 We describe a cluster of cowpox virus (CPXV) infections in humans that occurred near Munich, Germany, around the beginning of 2009. Previously, only sporadic reports of CPXV infections in humans after direct contact with various animals had been ...

Genetic diversity of feline cowpox virus, Germany 2000–2008
Veterinary Microbiology, 2009 Recent cowpox virus (CPXV) infections of humans in Europe transmitted from cats and pet rats have risen public awareness of this rare zoonosis. Based on serosurveys wild rodents are regarded as primary reservoir hosts. Cats can become infected while hunting and could therefore serve as a sentinel for CPXV strains circulating in wild rodents.

Small Methods, EarlyView.A new method to identify proteins involved in the uptake and intracellular trafficking of nanoparticles is presented. After nanoparticle uptake, cells are lysed and the organelles with nanoparticles are purified using fluorescence assisted cell sorting. Next, their composition is determined by proteomic analysis.

The Paediatric BCG Vaccine Century: From Historical Success to Future Innovations
Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aim The tuberculosis (TB) vaccine, Bacille‐Calmette‐Guérin (BCG), protects infants against severe forms of primary TB. Yet, it does not protect against pulmonary reactivation TB in adults. Methods A literature review was conducted between 1st January and 28th February 2025 using PubMed, Google Scholar and reports of the World Health ...

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 ...
