Infection initiated by the RNA pregenome of a DNA virus [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1991
We describe experiments demonstrating that after transfection into permissive cells, the RNA pregenome of an avian hepadnavirus, the duck hepatitis B virus, is infectious. Using a Sindbis virus expression vector, we showed that cytoplasmic synthesis of the pregenome resulted in hepadnaviral DNA synthesis.

SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses associate with sex, age and disease severity in previously uninfected people admitted to hospital with COVID-19: An ISARIC4C prospective study

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic enables the analysis of immune responses induced against a novel coronavirus infecting immunologically naïve individuals. This provides an opportunity for analysis of immune responses and associations with age, sex and disease ...

Vaccines against persistent DNA virus infections [PDF]

British Medical Bulletin, 2002
Persistent viruses present some particular problems for vaccine design. As for acute non-persistent viruses, the prime goal of a vaccine should be to prevent primary infection. Vaccines might also be used to modify the course of established persistent virus infections - so-called postinfective immunisation.

Occurrence of Equine Foamy Virus Infection in Horses from Poland

Viruses, 2022
Equine foamy virus (EFVeca) is a foamy virus of non-primate origin and among the least-studied members of this retroviral subfamily. By sequence comparison, EFVeca shows the highest similarity to bovine foamy virus.
