Silver Nanoparticle‐Mediated Antiviral Efficacy against Enveloped Viruses: A Comprehensive Review

Global Challenges, EarlyView.
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit broad‐spectrum antiviral activity by targeting key viral structures and processes. They disrupt viral envelopes, compromising integrity, and bind to nucleocapsids, impairing viral replication. AgNPs also inhibit glycoprotein interactions, preventing viral attachment and entry into host cells.

A re-entrant phase transition in the survival of secondary infections on networks [PDF]

, 2018
We study the dynamics of secondary infections on networks, in which only the individuals currently carrying a certain primary infection are susceptible to the secondary infection. In the limit of large sparse networks, the model is mapped to a branching process spreading in a random time-sensitive environment, determined by the dynamics of the ...

The Antiviral Activity of Polyphenols

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Polyphenols demonstrate remarkable antiviral properties by effectively disrupting multiple biochemical processes essential for viral replication. ABSTRACT Polyphenols are secondary metabolites produced by a large variety of plants. These compounds that comprise the class of phenolic acids, stilbenes, lignans, coumarins, flavonoids, and tannins have a ...

Monitoring Silent Spillovers Before Emergence: A Pilot Study at the Tick/Human Interface in Thailand

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Emerging zoonoses caused by previously unknown agents are one of the most important challenges for human health because of their inherent inability to be predictable, conversely to emergences caused by previously known agents that could be targeted by ...

Implications of Tobacco Use on Pathogen‐Driven Diseases: A Public Health and Policy Perspective

World Medical &Health Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The tobacco epidemic remains one of the most significant global public health challenges, responsible for over 8 million deaths annually, with a substantial portion occurring among non‐smokers exposed to second‐hand smoke. While cigarette smoking remains the most prevalent form of tobacco use worldwide, the rise of electronic nicotine delivery

Infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) isolated from the ISA disease outbreaks in Chile diverged from ISAV isolates from Norway around 1996 and was disseminated around 2005, based on surface glycoprotein gene sequences

Virology Journal, 2009
Background Infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) virus (ISAV) is a pathogen of marine-farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar); a disease first diagnosed in Norway in 1984.

Identifying Infection Sources and Regions in Large Networks [PDF]

, 2012
Identifying the infection sources in a network, including the index cases that introduce a contagious disease into a population network, the servers that inject a computer virus into a computer network, or the individuals who started a rumor in a social network, plays a critical role in limiting the damage caused by the infection through timely ...

Monitoring Macrophage Polarization in Infectious Disease, Lesson From SARS‐CoV‐2 Infection

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 35, Issue 3, May 2025.
ABSTRACT The concept of macrophage polarization has been largely used in human diseases to define a typology of activation of myeloid cells reminiscent of lymphocyte functional subsets. In COVID‐19, several studies have investigated myeloid compartment dysregulation and macrophage polarization as an indicator of disease prognosis and monitoring.

Design, Synthesis and Anti‐Influenza Virus Activity of 4‐Tert‐Butyl‐N‐(3‐Oxo‐1‐Thia‐4‐Azaspiro[4.5]Dec‐4‐yl)Benzamide Derivatives That Target Hemagglutinin‐Mediated Fusion

Drug Development Research, Volume 86, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Hemagglutinin (HA) is a viral glycoprotein that mediates influenza virus entry into the host cell and is considered a relevant viral target. We here report the identification of a class of 4‐tert‐butylphenyl‐substituted spirothiazolidinones as HA‐mediated fusion inhibitors with specific activity against influenza A/H3N2 virus.
