Heartland Virus in Lone Star Ticks, Alabama, USA [PDF]
We detected Heartland virus (HRTV) in lone star nymphs collected in 2018 in northern Alabama, USA. Real-time reverse transcription PCR selective for the small segment of the HRTV genome and confirmatory sequencing of positive samples showed high identity

Influence of N-Glycosylation on Virus–Host Interactions in Halorubrum lacusprofundi [PDF]
N-glycosylation is a post-translational modification of proteins that occurs across all three domains of life. In Archaea, N-glycosylation is crucial for cell stability and motility, but importantly also has significant implications for virus–host ...
