Melittin-Related Peptides Interfere with Sandfly Fever Naples Virus Infection by Interacting with Heparan Sulphate

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Emerging viruses pose an important global public health challenge, and early action is needed to control their spread. The Bunyaviridae family contains a great number of arboviruses which are potentially pathogenic for humans.

Severe Encephalitis Caused by Toscana Virus, Greece

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
Phleboviruses belong to a large group of arboviruses that are transmitted to humans by sandflies. Infections by these viruses in humans manifest as a febrile disease, so-called “three- day fever” (“Pappataci fever”), while Toscana virus (TOSV) may cause neuroinvasive disease.

Functional analysis of the Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus Gc glycoprotein [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The virion glycoproteins Gn and Gc of Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus (family Bunyaviridae) are encoded by the M RNA genome segment and have roles in both viral attachment and membrane fusion.

Lettuce Big‐Vein Associated Virus ORF3 Encodes a Functional 30K Movement Protein

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2025.
AlphaFold2 + FoldSeek structure guided search predicts the movement protein of lettuce big‐vein associated virus despite low sequence similarity. ABSTRACT Movement proteins (MPs) modulate the size exclusion limit of plasmodesmata—membrane‐lined channels connecting plant cells—thereby allowing cell‐to‐cell movement and systemic spread of plant viruses ...

Medicinal Plant‐Derived Caffeoylquinic Acids as Inhibitors of Rift Valley Fever Virus: A Computational Study

open access: yesChemistrySelect, Volume 10, Issue 12, March 26, 2025.
Caffeoylquinic acids derived from medicinal plants were evaluated for their potential as inhibitors of the Rift Valley Fever Virus, specifically targeting the LRP1‐CR17 protein. The study employed DFT, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations to analyze these compounds. The results showed strong binding affinities to the LRP1‐CR17 receptor,

Activation of PKR by Bunyamwera virus is independent of the viral interferon antagonist NSs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a by-product of viral RNA polymerase activity, and its recognition is one mechanism by which the innate immune system is activated.

Single-Dose Intranasal Treatment with DEF201 (Adenovirus Vectored Consensus Interferon) Prevents Lethal Disease Due to Rift Valley Fever Virus Challenge

open access: yesViruses, 2014
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) causes severe disease in humans and ungulates. The virus can be transmitted by mosquitoes, direct contact with infected tissues or fluids, or aerosol, making it a significant biological threat for which there is no approved

First report of the ticks Haemaphysalis punctata Canestrini et Fanzago, 1878, Haemaphysalis parva (Neumann, 1897) and Dermacentor marginatus (Sulzer, 1776) (Acari, Amblyommidae) from humans in Lebanon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Purpose: Knowledge on ticks infesting humans is scarce for the middle East. In this work, tick specimens (Acari: Amblyommidae) infesting humans in Lebanon were identified.

The Role of Temperature in Transmission of Zoonotic Arboviruses

open access: yesViruses, 2019
We reviewed the literature on the role of temperature in transmission of zoonotic arboviruses. Vector competence is affected by both direct and indirect effects of temperature, and generally increases with increasing temperature, but results may vary by ...

Towards a better understanding of Rift Valley fever epidemiology in the south-west of the Indian Ocean. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
International audience: Rift Valley fever virus (Phlebovirus, Bunyaviridae) is an arbovirus causing intermittent epizootics and sporadic epidemics primarily in East Africa. Infection causes severe and often fatal illness in young sheep, goats and cattle.
