Abstract In the increasingly likely event of an engineered‐virus outbreak or pandemic of catastrophic potential, managing infectious aerosols to reduce transmission will be crucial. Now is the time to start preparing our buildings, public opinion, and regulatory environments for the infectious aerosol management interventions necessary to protect the ...

Deep sequencing of norovirus genomes defines evolutionary patterns in an urban tropical setting. [PDF]
UNLABELLED: Norovirus is a highly transmissible infectious agent that causes epidemic gastroenteritis in susceptible children and adults. Norovirus infections can be severe and can be initiated from an exceptionally small number of viral particles ...

Deliberating the scientific evidence base for influenza transmission to raw milk consumers
Abstract Transmission of influenza A H5N1, commonly known as avian influenza or bird flu, from wild birds to cows on 1073 large US dairy farms in 17 states, and from cows to 41 dairy workers in five states, has raised concerns about limited evidence for transmission routes.

Studies of inactivation mechanism of non-enveloped icosahedral virus by a visible ultrashort pulsed laser [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Low-power ultrashort pulsed (USP) lasers operating at wavelengths of 425 nm and near infrared region have been shown to effectively inactivate viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), M13 bacteriophage, and murine cytomegalovirus ...

USP8‐Governed MDA5 Homeostasis Promotes Innate Immunity and Autoimmunity
This study reveals that USP8 stabilizes MDA5 via AKT‐mediated phosphorylation (Ser718), enhancing their interaction and MDA5 deubiquitination. USP8 inactivation degrades MDA5, suppressing type I IFN and cytokine production. Pharmacological inhibition of USP8/AKT alleviates MDA5‐driven autoimmunity, demonstrating the USP8‐MDA5 axis as a therapeutic ...

The Etiopathogenesis of Kawasaki Disease: Evolving Understanding of Diverse Triggers
ABSTRACT Background Kawasaki disease (KD) is a leading cause of acquired heart disease in children. Evidence suggests that microbial and nonmicrobial triggers for KD differ across geographical regions and environmental conditions. Although the precise triggers remain unidentified, KD is likely caused by microbial or environmental agents acting on ...
