Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology
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 viruses (EBOV) and other filoviruses cause sporadic and unpredictable outbreaks of highly lethal diseases. The lack of FDA-approved therapeutics, particularly ones with panfiloviral specificity, highlights the need for continued research efforts to

Implication of a retrovirus-like glycoprotein peptide in the immunopathogenesis of Ebola and Marburg viruses [PDF]
Ebola and Marburg viruses can cause hemorrhagic fever (HF) outbreaks with high mortality in primates. Whereas Marburg (MARV), Ebola Zaire (ZEBOV), and Ebola Sudan (SEBOV) viruses are pathogenic in humans, apes, and monkeys, Ebola Reston (REBOV) is ...

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

Seroreactive Profiling of Filoviruses in Chinese Bats Reveals Extensive Infection of Diverse Viruses
Bats are natural hosts of many FiVs, from which diverse FiVs were serologically or virologically detected in Africa, Europe, and East Asia. Recently, very divergent FiVs were identified in the Chinese bat population, but their antigenic relationship with

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.

Temporal and spatial limitations in global surveillance for bat filoviruses and henipaviruses
Sampling reservoir hosts over time and space is critical to detect epizootics, predict spillover, and design interventions. However, because sampling is logistically difficult and expensive, researchers rarely perform spatiotemporal sampling of many ...

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 ...
