Exploring Therapeutic Targets From Spreading Patterns Against Respiratory Syncytial Virus
RSV spreads through three main modes of infection: receptor‐dependent infection of free viral particles, syncytia formation, and transmission via actin filaments. CX3CR1, CCR3, and HSPG mediate viral adsorption; the IGF1R signaling pathway facilitates viral internalization by recruiting NCL to the membrane surface, and the RHO GTPase and PI3K signaling

From Bat to Worse: The Pivotal Role of Bats for Viral Zoonosis
Thanks to a dampened inflammatory innate immune response, various Chiropteran (bat) species frequently carry ‐ without showing symptoms – diverse viruses that can cause severe diseases in humans. The reasons why bats are a pivotal virus reservoir for emerging viral diseases are discussed in this Lilliput contribution.

“Filoviruses”: a real pandemic threat?
Filoviruses are zoonotic and among the deadliest viruses known to mankind, with mortality rates in outbreaks reaching up to 90%. Despite numerous efforts to identify the host reservoir(s), the transmission cycle of filoviruses between the animal host(s) and humans remains unclear.

Terpenes and Terpenoids: How can we use them?
The transition from petroleum‐based to renewable bio‐based chemicals has led to increased interest in terpenes and terpenoids. This overview highlights their chemistry, focusing on their reactivity and applications in polymerizations, total syntheses, pharmaceuticals, and bio‐based chemical conversions; promoting sustainable and green chemical ...

Bat lung epithelial cells show greater host species-specific innate resistance than MDCK cells to human and avian influenza viruses [PDF]
Background With the recent discovery of novel H17N10 and H18N11 influenza viral RNA in bats and report on high frequency of avian H9 seroconversion in a species of free ranging bats, an important issue to address is the extent bats are susceptible to ...

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence
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
