Viral pathogens hitchhike with insect sperm for paternal transmission

Nature Communications, 2019
Arbovirus vertical transmission is commonly mediated by transovarial passage of female insect vectors. Here, the authors show that Rice gall dwarf virus can be transmitted by male leafhoppers via interactions of the viral capsid and heparan sulfate ...

Development of a simplified RT-PCR without RNA isolation for rapid detection of RNA viruses in a single small brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus Fallén)

Virology Journal, 2017
Background The small brown planthopper (SBPH) is an important pest of cereal crops and acts as a transmission vector for multiple RNA viruses. Rapid diagnosis of virus in the vector is crucial for efficient forecast and control of viral disease.

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Circulating histones as clinical biomarkers in critically ill conditions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circulating histones are emerging as promising biomarkers in critical illness due to their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Detection methods such as ELISA and mass spectrometry provide reliable approaches for quantifying histone levels in plasma samples.

Insights into pegRNA design from editing of the cardiomyopathy‐associated phospholamban R14del mutation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) secondary structure and reverse transcriptase template length affect prime editing efficiency in correcting the phospholamban R14del cardiomyopathy‐associated mutation. Insights support the design of structurally optimized enhanced pegRNAs for precise gene therapy.

Plant Virus Transmission by Insects

, 2001
Most plant viruses depend on insect vectors for their survival, transmission and spread. They transmit plant viruses by two principal modes, circulative (circulating through the insect’s haemocoel, CV) and non-circulative (carried on the cuticle lining of mouthparts or foregut, NC).

Characterization and Spike Gene Analysis of a Candidate Attenuated Live Bovine Coronavirus Vaccine

Animals
The bovine coronavirus (BCoV) KBR-1 strain, obtained from calf diarrhea samples collected in 2017, belongs to group GIIa. To attenuate this strain, it was subcultured continuously (up to 79 times) in HRT-18 cells, followed by 80–120 passages in MDBK ...

Antiviral activity of chitosan nanoparticles for controlling plant-infecting viruses

South African Journal of Science, 2022
Chitosan nanoparticles (ChiNPs) are a potentially effective means for controlling numerous plant diseases. This study firstly describes the antiviral capabilities of ChiNPs to control plant viral diseases compared to its bulk form.
