Communicating the risks of handling bats: analysing approaches used by Australian stakeholders in the context of Australian bat lyssavirus

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 101, Issue 11, Page 430-439, November 2023., 2023
Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV) is a member of the Lyssavirus genus of the Rhabdoviridae family and is found in Australian bat species. It is of public health concern because of the rabies‐like syndrome it causes in humans, resulting in government health and wildlife agencies using varied communication approaches to inform targeted audiences about ...

The recent outbreaks of Marburg virus disease in African countries are indicating potential threat to the global public health: Future prediction from historical data

Health Science Reports, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Marburg virus disease (MVD) caused by the Marburg virus has a high mortality rate. Rousettus aegyptiacus fruit bats act as the natural reservoir host of the virus. But it can also potentially be transmitted from person to person through direct contact with body secretions.

Filoviruses: Innate Immunity, Inflammatory Cell Death, and Cytokines

Pathogens, 2022
Filoviruses are a group of single-stranded negative sense RNA viruses. The most well-known filoviruses that affect humans are ebolaviruses and marburgviruses. During infection, they can cause life-threatening symptoms such as inflammation, tissue damage,

Investigating Infectious Organisms of Public Health Concern Associated with Wild Meat

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
The wild meat trade poses a significant threat to public health as it facilitates the spillover of zoonotic pathogens through high‐risk activities such as the hunting, butchering, trade, and consumption of wild animals. Despite the health risks and association with marking epidemics including SARS, Ebola, and COVID‐19, the global wild meat trade ...

Presentation of antigen on extracellular vesicles using transmembrane domains from viral glycoproteins for enhanced immunogenicity

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 11, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
Abstract A vaccine antigen, when launched as DNA or RNA, can be presented in various forms, including intracellular, secreted, membrane‐bound, or on extracellular vesicles (EVs). Whether an antigen in one or more of these forms is superior in immune induction remains unclear.

Plasmodium berghei‐Mediated NRF2 Activation in Infected Hepatocytes Enhances Parasite Survival

Cellular Microbiology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The protozoan parasite Plasmodium, causative agent of malaria, initially invades and develops in hepatocytes where it resides in a parasitophorous vacuole (PV). A single invaded parasite develops into thousands of daughter parasites. Survival of the host cell is crucial for successful completion of liver stage development.

Renaming of genera Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus to Orthoebolavirus and Orthomarburgvirus, respectively, and introduction of binomial species names within family Filoviridae [PDF]

Archives of Virology, 2023
The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Filoviridae Study Group continues to prospectively refine the established nomenclature for taxa included in family Filoviridae in an effort to decrease confusion of genus, species, and virus names and to adhere to amended stipulations of the International Code of Virus Classification and ...
