Combination of paper membrane-based filtration and ultrafiltration to enhance the detection of MNV, HAV, and HCoV from soil-rich post-washing water

iScience, 2022
Summary: Risk-assessing and controlling virus transmission from soil-rich post-washing water (PWW) are crucial during harvesting raw vegetables. However, viruses are normally difficult to concentrate because of their low concentrations and complex ...

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

Microbiology 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 ...

Structural rearrangements in the membrane penetration protein of a non-enveloped virus [PDF]

Nature, 2004
Non-enveloped virus particles (those that lack a lipid-bilayer membrane) must breach the membrane of a target host cell to gain access to its cytoplasm. So far, the molecular mechanism of this membrane penetration step has resisted structural analysis.

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

Medicine 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.

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

Viruses, 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.

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

Life, 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 ...

Identification and characterization of a novel non-structural protein of bluetongue virus [PDF]

, 2011
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is the causative agent of a major disease of livestock (bluetongue). For over two decades, it has been widely accepted that the 10 segments of the dsRNA genome of BTV encode for 7 structural and 3 non-structural proteins.

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

Molecules, 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.
