Two New Sturgeon Species are Susceptible to Acipenser Iridovirus European (AcIV-E) Infection
Pathogens, 2020 We report the first case of Acipenser iridovirus European (AcIV-E) infection in starry sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus) and in sterlet (A. ruthenus) reared in Northern Italy. During 2018, mortality began in A. stellatus and A.

Poxvirus Host Range Genes and Virus–Host Spectrum: A Critical Review
Viruses, 2017 The Poxviridae family is comprised of double-stranded DNA viruses belonging to nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV). Among the NCLDV, poxviruses exhibit the widest known host range, which is likely observed because this viral family has been more ...

Nucleic and Amino Acid Sequences Support Structure-Based Viral Classification [PDF]
, 2017 Viral capsids ensure viral genome integrity by protecting the enclosed nucleic acids. Interactions between the genome and capsid and between individual capsid proteins (i.e., capsid architecture) are intimate and are expected to be characterized by ...

Generation of recombinant influenza A virus without M2 ion-channel protein by introduction of a point mutation at the 5′ end of the viral intron [PDF]
, 2005 The aim of this study was to inhibit influenza virus M2 protein expression by mutating the splicing signal of the M gene. Mutations were introduced into the GU dinucleotide sequence at the 5′-proximal splicing site of the M gene (corresponding to nt 52 ...
