Identification of Plant Virus Receptor Candidates in the Stylets of Their Aphid Vectors
Most noncirculative plant viruses transmitted by insect vectors bind to their mouthparts. They are acquired and inoculated within seconds when insects hop from plant to plant. The receptors involved remain totally elusive due to a long-standing technical

Effects of single and mixed infections with wild type and genetically modified Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus on movement behaviour of cotton bollworm larvae [PDF]
Naturally occurring insect viruses can modify the behaviour of infected insects and thereby modulate virus transmission. Modifications of the virus genome could alter these behavioural effects.

Plant Virus Transmission by Insects
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).

Using Transfer Learning for Image-Based Cassava Disease Detection [PDF]
Cassava is the third largest source of carbohydrates for human food in the world but is vulnerable to virus diseases, which threaten to destabilize food security in sub-Saharan Africa. Novel methods of cassava disease detection are needed to support improved control which will prevent this crisis.

In vitro thermotherapy-based methods for plant virus eradication
Production of virus-free plants is necessary to control viral diseases, import novel cultivars from other countries, exchange breeding materials between countries or regions and preserve plant germplasm.

Positive-sense (+) RNA viruses represent the most abundant group of viruses and are dependent on the host cell machinery to replicate. One remarkable feature that occurs after (+) RNA virus entry into cells is the remodeling of host endomembranes ...

A flexible smoother adapted to censored data with outliers and its application to SARS-CoV-2 monitoring in wastewater [PDF]
A sentinel network, Ob\'epine, has been designed to monitor SARS-CoV-2 viral load in wastewaters arriving at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in France as an indirect macro-epidemiological parameter. The sources of uncertainty in such monitoring system are numerous and the concentration measurements it provides are left-censored and contain outliers,

Delivery of mitoxantrone using a plant virus-based nanoparticle for the treatment of glioblastomas.
Mitoxatrone (MTO), an antineoplastic chemotherapeutic, has potent activity against the most common and agressive type of primary brain tumor, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).

Docking study for Protein Nsp-12 of SARS-CoV with Betalains and Alfa-Bisabolol [PDF]
The present Health Crisis tests the response of modern science and medicine to finding treatment for a new COVID-19 disease. The presentation on the world stage of antivirals such as remdesivir, obeys to the continuous investigation of biologically active molecules with multiple theoretical, computational and experimental tools.
