Threshold effects for two pathogens spreading on a network

, 2005
Diseases spread through host populations over the networks of contacts between individuals, and a number of results about this process have been derived in recent years by exploiting connections between epidemic processes and bond percolation on networks.

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

Virophages of Giant Viruses: An Update at Eleven

Viruses, 2019
The last decade has been marked by two eminent discoveries that have changed our perception of the virology field: The discovery of giant viruses and a distinct new class of viral agents that parasitize their viral factories, the virophages.

Diversity, transfer potential, and transcriptional activity of virus‐carried antibiotic resistance genes in global estuaries

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Estuaries are vital hotspots for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) due to substantial antibiotic pollution. Although viruses have been proposed as key reservoirs and important disseminators of ARGs in environments, their contribution to the estuarine antibiotic resistome remains largely unknown.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Under the Lens of Structure: From Prefusion Stabilization to Next‐Generation Immunotherapies

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
This illustration integrates key concepts covered in the review, including high‐risk populations, viral structure, host entry factors, the replication cycle, and licensed antibody‐based prevention strategies. ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a negative‐sense RNA virus belonging to the genus Orthopneumovirus within the family Pneumoviridae.

Haptophyte-infecting viruses change the genome condensing proteins of dinoflagellates

Communications Biology
Giant viruses are extraordinary members of the virosphere due to their structural complexity and high diversity in gene content. Haptophytes are ecologically important primary producers in the ocean, and all known viruses that infect haptophytes are ...
