Systematics, Ecology, and Host Switching: Attributes Affecting Emergence of the Lassa Virus in Rodents across Western Africa

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Ever since it was established that rodents serve as reservoirs of the zoonotic Lassa virus (LASV), scientists have sought to answer the questions: which populations of rodents carry the virus?

Ribose 2′-O-methylation provides a molecular signature for the distinction of self and non-self mRNA dependent on the RNA sensor Mda5 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The 5'-cap-structures of higher eukaryote mRNAs are ribose 2'-O-methylated. Likewise, a number of viruses replicating in the cytoplasm of eukayotes have evolved 2'-O-methyltransferases to modify autonomously their mRNAs.

Sex Differences in Response to Viral Vector Vaccines—Implications for Future Vaccine Design

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, Volume 338, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Vaccination represents one of the most impactful public health achievements, preventing 3.5 to 5 million deaths annually according to estimates of the World Health Organization. Yet, recent outbreaks of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases highlight the need for rapid and strategic vaccine development using vaccine platforms ...

Domain Structure of Lassa Virus L Protein [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2011
ABSTRACT The 200-kDa L protein of arenaviruses plays a central role in viral genome replication and transcription. This study aimed at providing evidence for the domain structure of L protein by combining bioinformatics with a stepwise mutagenesis approach using the Lassa virus minireplicon system.

A novel single‐cell NAD‐ME C4 subtype integrated with CAM and bicarbonate use in an aquatic plant

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2386-2401, March 2026.
Summary Many plants maximize photosynthesis by using a CO2‐concentrating mechanism (CCM). Based on physiology, the freshwater plant Ottelia alismoides has three CCMs: C4 metabolism (NAD‐malic enzyme (NAD‐ME) subtype) and bicarbonate‐use during the day plus crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) at night and lacks Kranz anatomy. Here, we combined a range of

Cellular Factors Required for Lassa Virus Budding [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2006
ABSTRACT It is known that Lassa virus Z protein is sufficient for the release of virus-like particles (VLPs) and that it has two L domains, PTAP and PPPY, in its C terminus. However, little is known about the cellular factor for Lassa virus budding. We examined which cellular factors are used in Lassa virus Z budding.

New Lineage of Lassa Virus, Togo, 2016

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
We describe a strain of Lassa virus representing a putative new lineage that was isolated from a cluster of human infections with an epidemiologic link to Togo. This finding extends the known range of Lassa virus to Togo.

ZNRD2 Mediated Nucleoprotein Aggregation Impairs Respiratory Syncytial Virus Replication

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 12, 27 February 2026.
During RSV infection, nucleoprotein (N) forms RNA‐bound oligomers. The host protein ZNRD2 binds to these oligomers, promoting their transition into insoluble aggregates. These aggregates simultaneously sequester functional N to restrict viral production and disrupt chaperonin assembly quality control by interfering with ZNRD2's role as an adaptor ...
