The Antiviral Activity of Polyphenols
Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 69, Issue 15, August 2025.Polyphenols demonstrate remarkable antiviral properties by effectively disrupting multiple biochemical processes essential for viral replication. ABSTRACT Polyphenols are secondary metabolites produced by a large variety of plants. These compounds that comprise the class of phenolic acids, stilbenes, lignans, coumarins, flavonoids, and tannins have a ...

Risks Posed by Reston, the Forgotten Ebolavirus [PDF]
, 2016 Out of the five members of the Ebolavirus family, four cause lifethreatening disease, whereas the fifth, Reston virus (RESTV), is nonpathogenic in humans. The reasons for this discrepancy remain unclear. In this review, we analyze the currently available

Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1550, Issue 1, Page 151-172, August 2025.Bats are recognized to have distinct immune systems from other vertebrates that may allow them to host virulent pathogens without showing disease. However, these flying mammals are also incredibly diverse, such that bats should not be expected to be immunologically homogenous.

Ebola virus VP30 and nucleoprotein interactions modulate viral RNA synthesis [PDF]
, 2017 Ebola virus (EBOV) is an enveloped negative-sense RNA virus that causes sporadic outbreaks with high case fatality rates. Ebola viral protein 30 (eVP30) plays a critical role in EBOV transcription initiation at the nucleoprotein (eNP) gene, with ...

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract Major infectious diseases threatening human health are transmitted to people from animals or by arthropod vectors such as insects. In recent decades, disease outbreaks have become more common, especially in tropical regions, including new and emerging infections that were previously undetected or unknown. Even though there is growing awareness

Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats [PDF]
, 2017 Bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been widely studied as reservoir hosts for viruses of concern for human and animal health. However, whether bats are equally competent hosts of non-viral pathogens such as bacteria remains an important open question. Here,

PAirwise Sequence Comparison (PASC) and Its Application in the Classification of Filoviruses
Viruses, 2012 PAirwise Sequence Comparison (PASC) is a tool that uses genome sequence similarity to help with virus classification. The PASC tool at NCBI uses two methods: local alignment based on BLAST and global alignment based on Needleman-Wunsch algorithm.
