Molecular detection and genomic characterization of Samak Micromys paramyxovirus-1 and -2 in Micromys minutus, Republic of Korea [PDF]

Virology Journal
Background The discovery of viruses in small mammalian populations, particularly rodents, has expanded the family Paramyxoviridae. The overlap in habitats between rodents and humans increases the risk of zoonotic events, underscoring the importance of ...

Differential Features of Fusion Activation within the Paramyxoviridae [PDF]

Viruses, 2020
Paramyxovirus (PMV) entry requires the coordinated action of two envelope glycoproteins, the receptor binding protein (RBP) and fusion protein (F). The sequence of events that occurs during the PMV entry process is tightly regulated.

Efficient and Robust Paramyxoviridae Reverse Genetics Systems [PDF]

mSphere, 2017
The notoriously low efficiency of Paramyxoviridae reverse genetics systems has posed a limiting barrier to the study of viruses in this family. Previous approaches to reverse genetics have utilized a wide variety of techniques to overcome the technical ...

Functional Analysis of the Fusion and Attachment Glycoproteins of Mojiang Henipavirus

Viruses, 2021
Mojiang virus (MojV) is the first henipavirus identified in a rodent and known only by sequence data, whereas all other henipaviruses have been isolated from bats (Hendra virus, Nipah virus, Cedar virus) or discovered by sequence data from material of ...

Interferon-independent processes constrain measles virus cell-to-cell spread in primary human airway epithelial cells

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Amplification of measles virus (MeV) in human airway epithelia may contribute to its extremely high contagious nature. We use well-differentiated primary cultures of human airway epithelial cells (HAE) to model ex vivo how MeV spreads in human airways ...

Transmission Network of Measles During the Yamagata Outbreak in Japan, 2017

Journal of Epidemiology, 2022
Background: A measles outbreak involving 60 cases occurred in Yamagata, Japan in 2017. Using two different mathematical models for different datasets, we aimed to estimate measles transmissibility over time and explore any heterogeneous transmission ...

Human metapneumovirus M2-2 protein inhibits RIG-I signaling by preventing TRIM25-mediated RIG-I ubiquitination

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) is a receptor that senses viral RNA and interacts with mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS) protein, leading to the production of type I interferons and inflammatory cytokines to establish an antiviral state ...
