Carbon‐Based Nanomaterials for Antiviral Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 38, September 18, 2024.
Carbon‐based nanomaterials (CBNs), including fullerenes, carbon dots, graphene, and their derivatives, show promise as antiviral tools in the antimicrobial resistance era. They exhibit broad‐spectrum antiviral activity with a low risk of resistance development. CBNs also enhance efficacy under light exposure and support antiviral immune responses. CBNs

Current and future environmental suitability for bats hosting potential zoonotic pathogens in rural Kenya

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.
Bats are reservoirs for emerging pathogens and may pose significant risks to human health. Understanding spatial overlap between bats and humans across landscapes is a necessary requirement for developing exposure prevention strategies against bat‐borne zoonotic pathogens.

Utilizing non‐human primate models to combat recent COVID‐19/SARS‐CoV‐2 and viral infectious disease outbreaks

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 53, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract In recent times, global viral outbreaks and diseases, such as COVID‐19 (SARS‐CoV‐2), Zika (ZIKV), monkeypox (MPOX), Ebola (EBOV), and Marburg (MARV), have been extensively documented. Swiftly deciphering the mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis and devising vaccines or therapeutic interventions to curtail these outbreaks stand as ...

Novel antiviral discoveries for Japanese encephalitis virus infections through reporter virus‐based high‐throughput screening

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 96, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Japanese encephalitis (JE) caused by JE virus (JEV), remains a global public health concern. Currently, there is no specific antiviral drug approved for the treatment of JE. While vaccines are available for prevention, they may not cover all at‐risk populations. This underscores the urgent need for prophylaxis and potent anti‐JEV drugs.

Experimental Infection of Bundibugyo Virus in Domestic Swine Leads to Viral Shedding with Evidence of Intraspecies Transmission

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The Ebolavirus genus contains several of the deadliest zoonotic viruses known. One of these, Bundibugyo virus (BDBV), has been the causative agent of two outbreaks of human disease that have resulted in 211 known cases with a case fatality rate of 33.6%.

Family Filoviridae

, 2017
The family Filoviridae includes the genera Ebolavirus, Marburgvirus, and Cuevavirus. Ebola virus and Marburg virus can cause severe, often lethal, hemorrhagic fever in humans. Filoviruses (member of the order Mononegavirales) are enveloped viruses with unsegmented, negative-strand RNA genomes.

Virus nomenclature below the species level: a standardized nomenclature for natural variants of viruses assigned to the family Filoviridae [PDF]

Archives of Virology, 2012
The task of international expert groups is to recommend the classification and naming of viruses. The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses Filoviridae Study Group and other experts have recently established an almost consistent classification and nomenclature for filoviruses.
