The interferon-stimulated gene IFITM3 restricts infection and pathogenesis of arthritogenic and encephalitic alphaviruses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Host cells respond to viral infections by producing type I interferon (IFN), which induces the expression of hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs).

The Halogen Effect in [Cu(NHC)X] Compounds: A Case Study on the Anti‐Leishmania and Antiviral Activity of [Cu(IPr)X]

open access: yesChemistrySelect, Volume 10, Issue 31, August 15, 2025.
This study explores how changing halidesfrom Cl to Iinfluences ionic radius, antioxidant activity, and lipophilicity. These shifts significantly impact the biological potency of [Cu(IPr)X] compounds against Leishmania parasites and arboviruses. A strategic tweak in halogen identity paves the way for enhanced therapeutic performance in metal‐based drug ...

Mayaro Virus in Child with Acute Febrile Illness, Haiti, 2015

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
Mayaro virus has been associated with small outbreaks in northern South America. We isolated this virus from a child with acute febrile illness in rural Haiti, confirming its role as a cause of mosquitoborne illness in the Caribbean region.

Genome signatures, self-organizing maps and higher order phylogenies: a parametric analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Genome signatures are data vectors derived from the compositional statistics of DNA. The self-organizing map (SOM) is a neural network method for the conceptualisation of relationships within complex data, such as genome signatures.

Integrating Citizen Science and Remote Sensing Data to Identify Key Environmental Factors Influencing H5N1 Avian Influenza Virus Potential Spillover Risk in the Philippines

open access: yesGeoHealth, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus presents a serious threat to poultry and public health worldwide, with transmission dynamics shaped by avian migration patterns and environmental conditions. Recent outbreaks in the Philippines highlight the urgent need for effective control measures.

Temporal trends in the discovery of human viruses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
On average, more than two new species of human virus are reported every year. We constructed the cumulative species discovery curve for human viruses going back to 1901.

Seroprevalence of Chikungunya and O'nyong‐nyong Viruses in Senegal, West Africa

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Arthritogenic alphaviruses such as chikungunya (CHIKV) and o'nyong‐nyong (ONNV) viruses have shown capacity to cause widespread epidemics, with recurrent and sporadic outbreaks occurring throughout sub‐Saharan Africa. We analyzed the seroprevalence for CHIKV and ONNV in 470 non‐febrile subjects from three regions in Senegal (Sindia, 2018 ...

Alphavirus nsP2: A Multifunctional Regulator of Viral Replication and Promising Target for Anti‐Alphavirus Therapies

open access: yesReviews in Medical Virology, Volume 35, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Alphaviruses are re‐emerging vector‐born pathogens that cause arthralgia or encephalitic diseases on a global scale. While a vaccine against chikungunya virus was recently approved, no vaccines currently exist for other alphaviruses, nor are there antiviral drugs for the treatment of alphavirus infections. Alphaviruses have positive‐strand RNA

Two Birds With One Stone: RNA Virus Strategies to Manipulate G3BP1 and Other Stress Granule Components

open access: yesWIREs RNA, Volume 16, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
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
