Structural Basis of Human Parainfluenza Virus 3 Unassembled Nucleoprotein in Complex with Its Viral Chaperone. [PDF]
Human parainfluenza virus 3 (HPIV3) causes annual epidemics of respiratory diseases, especially in newborns and infants. For the replication of HPIV3 and other paramyxoviruses, only three viral proteins are required: phosphoprotein (P), RNA polymerase (L)

Respiratory Viral Co-Infections in SARS-CoV-2 Positive Patients in Burkina Faso: A Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background The burden of viral co‐infections among COVID‐19 patients is underexplored in low‐resource settings such as Burkina Faso. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of respiratory viral co‐infections among laboratory‐confirmed COVID‐19 patients. Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted from January 1 to
