Coxsackievirus A6 and Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, Finland
During fall 2008, an outbreak of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) with onychomadesis (nail shedding) as a common feature occurred in Finland. We identified an unusual enterovirus type, coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6), as the causative agent. CVA6 infections

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Recombinant Viruses from the Picornaviridae Family Occurring in Racing Pigeons
Viruses from Picornaviridae family are known pathogens of poultry, although the information on their occurrence and pathogenicity in pigeons is scarce. In this research, efforts are made to broaden the knowledge on Megrivirus B and Pigeon picornavirus B ...

Systematic nomenclature of picornavirus proteins [PDF]
An easily learned convention for systematizing the nomenclature of picornavirus proteins is described. The convention is based upon an idealized map, called the L434 diagram, of the picornavirus polyprotein.

ABSTRACT Aims Especially, the coxsackievirus B group of enteroviruses has been linked to the development of islet autoimmunity and type 1 diabetes in genetically susceptible individuals. Our aim was to study the possible associations of 10 different microbial infections with islet autoimmunity in a large international prospective study.

Identification of the pocket factors in a picornavirus
Bovine enterovirus (BEV), along with other enteroviruses and the rhinoviruses, has a hydrophobic pocket within structural protein VP1. In the crystal structures of these viruses there is electron density commensurate with a non-protein molecule within the pocket.

Picornavirus Infection Leading to Immunosuppression [PDF]
Viruses, such as HIV, hepatitis A, poliovirus, coxsackievirus B3 and foot-and-mouth disease virus, use a variety of mechanisms to suppress the human immune system in order to evade clearance by the host. Therefore, investigating how a few changes in the viral genome of a nonlethal virus can lead to an alteration in disease, from survivable to ...

The C117D oxidation mimic reveals the monomeric structure of SARS‐CoV‐2 main protease
Abstract The SARS‐CoV‐2 main protease (Mpro) is essential for viral replication and functions as a homodimer, with dimerization being critical for catalytic activity. Mpro contains an unusually high number of cysteine residues. Among these, C117 and the catalytic nucleophile C145 can form a reversible disulfide bond under oxidative conditions.

Identification Epitope on VP4 Protein of Senecavirus A Recognized by a Monoclonal Antibody
This study aims to identify conserved antigenic epitopes on the SVA VP4 protein using monoclonal antibodies, providing valuable tools for further exploring its functions and developing detection methods. SVA VP4 protein was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified with High‐Affinity Ni‐Charged Resin FF.
