Cellular phosphoinositides and the maturation of bluetongue virus, a non-enveloped capsid virus [PDF]

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2013
Bluetongue virus (BTV), a member of Orbivirus genus in the Reoviridae family is a double capsid virus enclosing a genome of 10 double-stranded RNA segments. A non-structural protein of BTV, NS3, which is associated with cellular membranes and interacts with outer capsid proteins, has been shown to be involved in virus morphogenesis in infected cells ...

A novel in vitro system of supported planar endosomal membranes (SPEMs) reveals an enhancing role for cathepsin B in the final stage of Ebola virus fusion and entry

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
Ebola virus (EBOV) causes a hemorrhagic fever with fatality rates up to 90%. The EBOV entry process is complex and incompletely understood. Following attachment to host cells, EBOV is trafficked to late endosomes/lysosomes where its glycoprotein (GP) is ...

Effect of ultrasound with methylene blue as sound sensitive agent on virus inactivation

open access: yesMedicine in Novel Technology and Devices, 2023
The goal of this paper is to explore a method for virus inactivation based on ultrasonic treatment, and on this basis, to explore the synergistic effect of methylene blue as a sonosensitizer in virus inactivation.

Non-enveloped virus inactivation potency of sodium dodecyl sulfate with citric and glutamic acids. [PDF]

open access: yesFront Microbiol
Disinfection is one of the most important methods by which transmission of infectious diseases can be blocked, and efficacies differ depending on how they are used and the target organism. Small non-enveloped viruses are considerably less sensitive to disinfectants than enveloped viruses and vegetative bacteria or fungi and generally require strong ...

Comparative Assessment of Pulsed and Continuous LED UV-A Lighting for Disinfection of Contaminated Surfaces

open access: yesLife, 2022
The germicidal efficacy of LED UV-A lighting has scarcely been compared in continuous and pulsed modes for contaminated surfaces. Herein, we compare the disinfection properties of pulsed versus continuous lighting at equal irradiances using a 365 nm LED ...

Glycans Controlling Virus Infections: Meeting Report on the 1st International Symposium on Glycovirology Schöntal, Germany, 02–04 May 2018

open access: yesViruses, 2018
Glycans are, with nucleic acids, proteins and lipids, one of the four founding structures of cellular life. Due to their non-template synthesis, they are inherently heterogeneous and difficult to study with regards to their structure and function.

Broad-Spectrum, Potent, and Durable Ceria Nanoparticles Inactivate RNA Virus Infectivity by Targeting Virion Surfaces and Disrupting Virus–Receptor Interactions

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
There is intense interest in developing long-lasting, potent, and broad-spectrum antiviral disinfectants. Ceria nanoparticles (CNPs) can undergo surface redox reactions (Ce3+ ↔ Ce4+) to generate ROS without requiring an external driving force.

Bacteriophages and their structural organisation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Viruses are extremely small infectious particles that are not visible in a light microscope, and are able to pass through fine porcelain filters. They exist in a huge variety of forms and infect practically all living systems: animals, plants ...
