Gut microbiome influences incidence and outcomes of breast cancer by regulating levels and activity of steroid hormones in women

Cancer Reports, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Breast cancer, the leading cancer type in women worldwide, is affected by reproductive and nonreproductive factors. Estrogen and progesterone influence the incidence and progression of breast cancer. The microbiome of the gut, a complex organ that plays a vital role in digestion and homeostasis, enhances availability of estrogen and

Viral discovery and diversity in trypanosomatid protozoa with a focus on relatives of the human parasite Leishmania. [PDF]

, 2017
Knowledge of viral diversity is expanding greatly, but many lineages remain underexplored. We surveyed RNA viruses in 52 cultured monoxenous relatives of the human parasite <i>Leishmania</i> ( <i>Crithidia</i> and <i> ...

Reassortant viruses threatening fish aquaculture

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 1720-1731, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Aquaculture provides more than half of fish destined for human consumption worldwide. In aquaculture, infectious diseases triggered by viruses are amongst the major cause of mortality of farmed fish. The cohabitation of different virus strains in the same geographical area opens the possibility to natural reassortment.

Investigation on Natural Infection of Covert Mortality Nodavirus in Farmed Giant Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii)

Animals, 2022
Covert mortality nodavirus (CMNV), from the Nodaviridae family, is characterized by its unique cross-species transmission and wide epidemic distribution features. In this study, Macrobrachium rosenbergii was proved to be infected naturally by CMNV, which

The taxonomy of an Australian nodavirus isolated from mosquitoes.

PLoS ONE, 2018
We describe a virus isolated from Culex annulirostris mosquitoes in Australia. Phylogenetic analysis of its RNA-dependent RNA polymerase sequence and that of other related viruses revealed 6 clades, two of which corresponded wholly or partly with ...

Flock house virus RNA polymerase initiates RNA synthesis de novo and possesses a terminal nucleotidyl transferase activity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Flock House virus (FHV) is a positive-stranded RNA virus with a bipartite genome of RNAs, RNA1 and RNA2, and belongs to the family Nodaviridae. As the most extensively studied nodavirus, FHV has become a well-recognized model for studying various aspects

Caenorhabditis elegans RIG-I Homolog Mediates Antiviral RNA Interference Downstream of Dicer-Dependent Biogenesis of Viral Small Interfering RNAs. [PDF]

, 2017
Dicer enzymes process virus-specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to initiate specific antiviral defense by related RNA interference (RNAi) pathways in plants, insects, nematodes, and mammals.

New insights into control of arbovirus replication and spread by insect RNA interference pathways [PDF]

, 2012
Arthropod-borne (arbo) viruses are transmitted by vectors, such as mosquitoes, to susceptible vertebrates. Recent research has shown that arbovirus replication and spread in mosquitoes is not passively tolerated but induces host responses to control ...
