An evolutionary molecular dynamics platform is used to design P1.6, a membrane‐active peptide that senses lipid packing defects in viral envelopes. P1.6 adopts a stabilized α‐helical structure upon membrane contact, disrupts virus‐like liposomes, and damages HIV‐1 particles.

The effectiveness of acyclovir, a selective anti-herpesvirus agent, was tested both in silico and in vitro against two ranaviruses, namely the European catfish virus (ECV) and Frog virus 3 (FV3).

Pathogen-host interactions are important components of epidemiological research, but are scarcely investigated in chelonians. Red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans), are recognized as a model for frog virus-3 infection (FV3), a ranavirus in the ...

Rapid evolution of protein kinase PKR alters sensitivity to viral inhibitors. [PDF]
Protein kinase PKR (also known as EIF2AK2) is activated during viral infection and phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2), leading to inhibition of translation and viral replication. We report fast evolution

Adaptive immunity and histopathology in frog virus 3-infected Xenopus
Xenopus has been used as an experimental model to evaluate the contribution of adaptive cellular immunity in amphibian host susceptibility to the emerging ranavirus FV3. Conventional histology and immunohistochemistry reveal that FV3 has a strong tropism for the proximal tubular epithelium of the kidney and is rarely disseminated elsewhere in Xenopus ...

Ranaviruses are the second deadliest pathogens for amphibian populations throughout the world. Despite their wide distribution in America, these viruses have never been reported in Mexico, the country with the fifth highest amphibian diversity in the ...

The peptide motif of the single dominantly expressed class I molecule of the chicken MHC can explain the response to a molecular defined vaccine of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) [PDF]
In contrast to typical mammals, the chicken MHC (the BF-BL region of the B locus) has strong genetic associations with resistance and susceptibility to infectious pathogens as well as responses to vaccines.

Frog virus 3 requires RNA polymerase II for its replication [PDF]
The involvement of host cell RNA polymerase II in the replication of frog virus 3 (FV 3) was examined in alpha-amanitin-sensitive or -resistant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in the presence and absence of alpha-amanitin. In the presence of alpha-amanitin, FV 3 replicated normally in resistant CHO cells but failed to do so in sensitive CHO cells ...
