Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000 We live in an era of rapidly changing global landscapes and local environments. Viruses with RNA as their genetic material can quickly adapt to and exploit these varying conditions because of the high error rates of the virus enzymes (polymerases) that replicate their genomes.

Monkeypox: An Emerging Disease
Cureus, 2022 Until the month of April 2022, cases of monkeypox virus infection in humans were hardly documented outside of the endemic African regions. There are cases now throughout the world. Infected exotic pets have taken the monkeypox virus out of Africa. Following the universal eradication of smallpox in the 1970s, occurrences of monkeypox have attracted ...

Dengue virus activates cGAS through the release of mitochondrial DNA
Scientific Reports, 2017 Cyclic GMP-AMP synthetase (cGAS) is a DNA-specific cytosolic sensor, which detects and initiates host defense responses against microbial DNA. It is thus curious that a recent study identified cGAS as playing important roles in inhibiting positive-sense ...

Evolution and ecology of Jeilongvirus among wild rodents and shrews in Singapore
One Health Outlook, 2023 Background Jeilongvirus was proposed as a new genus within the Paramyxoviridae in 2018. The advancement in metagenomic approaches has encouraged multiple reports of Jeilongvirus detection following the initial species discovery, enriching species ...

High flavivirus structural plasticity demonstrated by a non-spherical morphological variant
Nature Communications, 2020 Dengue (DENV) and Zika (ZIKV) viruses normally display as smooth spherical particles, while DENV can also become bumpy-surfaced, resulting in immune evasion. Here, Morrone et al. report DENV and ZIKV infectious club-shaped particles (clubSP) that display

Disease emergence and invasions [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2012 SummaryEmerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are recognized as having significant social, economic and ecological costs, threatening human health, food security, wildlife conservation and biodiversity. We review the processes underlying the emergence of infectious disease, focusing on the similarities and differences between conceptual models of disease ...
