Structures and Functions of the Envelope Glycoprotein in Flavivirus Infections [PDF]
Viruses, 2017 Flaviviruses are enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses that widely infect many animal species. The envelope protein, a structural protein of flavivirus, plays an important role in host cell viral infections.

TRIMming down Flavivirus Infections [PDF]
VirusesFlaviviruses comprise a large number of arthropod-borne viruses, some of which are associated with life-threatening diseases. Flavivirus infections are rising worldwide, mainly due to the proliferation and geographical expansion of their vectors.

Pathogenesis and virulence of flavivirus infections [PDF]
Virulence, 2021 The Flavivirus genus consists of >70 members including several that are considered significant human pathogens. Flaviviruses display a broad spectrum of diseases that can be roughly categorised into two phenotypes – systemic disease involving haemorrhage

The global incidence and trends of three common flavivirus infections (Dengue, yellow fever, and Zika) from 2011 to 2021 [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyBackgroundFlavivirus pose a continued threat to global health, yet their worldwide burden and trends remain poorly quantified. We aimed to evaluate the global, regional, and national incidence of three common flavivirus infections (Dengue, yellow fever ...

Role of the complement system in antibody-dependent enhancement of flavivirus infections [PDF]
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021 Flavivirus infections have increased dramatically in the last decades in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Antibody-dependent enhancement of dengue virus infections has been one of the main hypotheses to explain severity of disease and one ...

Cellular Targets for the Treatment of Flavivirus Infections [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 Classical antiviral therapy targets viral functions, mostly viral enzymes or receptors. Successful examples include precursor herpesvirus drugs, antiretroviral drugs that target reverse transcriptase and protease, influenza virus directed compounds as ...

The role of γδ T cells in flavivirus infections: Insights into immune defense and therapeutic opportunities. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseasesγδ T cells are a unique subset of unconventional T cells and an important component of the innate immune system. Unlike conventional αβ T cells, γδ T cells can respond rapidly during the early stages of infection, and their antigen recognition is not ...
