Small-Molecule Probes Targeting the Viral PPxY-Host Nedd4 Interface Block Egress of a Broad Range of RNA Viruses. [PDF]
Budding of filoviruses, arenaviruses, and rhabdoviruses is facilitated by subversion of host proteins, such as Nedd4 E3 ubiquitin ligase, by viral PPxY late (L) budding domains expressed within the matrix proteins of these RNA viruses.

ABSTRACT Favipiravir is a selective RNA polymerase inhibitor and a broad‐spectrum antiviral drug. Favipiravir reduces cell proliferation by inhibiting RNA transcription, particularly in rapidly proliferating cells such as spermatogonia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and mechanism of action of favipiravir (T‐705) on sperm quality ...

The nucleoside analog GS-441524 strongly inhibits feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) virus in tissue culture and experimental cat infection studies. [PDF]
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a common and highly lethal coronavirus disease of domestic cats. Recent studies of diseases caused by several RNA viruses in people and other species indicate that antiviral therapy may be effective against FIP in ...

Pests and diseases affecting potato landraces and bred varieties grown in Peru under indigenous farming system [PDF]
The major pests and diseases were identified and quantified on thirteen potato landraces and three bred varieties cultivated in Peru. Late blight (Phytophthora infestans) was the primary biotic constraint affecting plants before flowering with an average

Stress granules emerging during viral infection can play both pro‐ and antiviral roles. RNA viruses use various strategies to antagonize their formation, including the degradation, inhibition, or sequestration of G3BP1, a key stress granule protein. However, biochemical and structural insights into these mechanisms have been reported for only a handful

Enzootic Transmission of Yellow Fever Virus in Peru
The prevailing paradigm of yellow fever virus (YFV) ecology in South America is that of wandering epizootics. The virus is believed to move from place to place in epizootic waves involving monkeys and mosquitoes, rather than persistently circulating ...

Application of multiplex realtime PCR detection for hemorrhagic fever syndrome viruses
Background: Multiplex real-time PCR is a quick and cost effective method for detection of various gene simultaneously. HFSV (Hemorrhagic Fever Syndrome Virus) is a newly emerging infectious disease because of globalization and climate change. We tried to

Protection Conferred against Junin Virus Infection in Rats
2-day-old Wistar rats intracerebrally infected with the XJC13 strain of virus exhibited a 5% survival rate which rose to 71% after immune serum treatment. Brain viral titers were relatively unaffected by this treatment. Histologic studies showed necrosis in the cerebellum and brain cortex with mononuclear cell infiltration in both treated and ...

Tolerance has its limits: how the thymus copes with infection [PDF]
The thymus is required for T cell differentiation; a process that depends on which antigens are encountered by thymocytes, the environment surrounding the differentiating cells, and the thymic architecture.
