Imaging, Tracking and Computational Analyses of Virus Entry and Egress with the Cytoskeleton [PDF]
Viruses have a dual nature: particles are “passive substances” lacking chemical energy transformation, whereas infected cells are “active substances” turning-over energy.

Advancing the field of viroporins—Structure, function and pharmacology: IUPHAR Review 39
Viroporins possess important potential as antiviral targets due to their critical roles during virus life cycles, spanning from virus entry to egress. Although the antiviral amantadine targets the M2 viroporin of influenza A virus, successful progression of other viroporin inhibitors into clinical use remains challenging.

Cell entry strategies of animal viruses [PDF]
Virusi su obligatni unutarstanični paraziti građeni od nukleinske kiseline (DNA ili RNA) i proteinske kapside, dok je lipidna ovojnica, koju neki virusi posjeduju, porijeklom od domaćinske stanice.

A broadly applicable method to characterize large DNA viruses and adenoviruses based on the DNA polymerase gene [PDF]
Background Many viral pathogens are poorly characterized, are difficult to culture or reagents are lacking for confirmatory diagnoses. We have developed and tested a robust assay for detecting and characterizing large DNA viruses and adenoviruses.

Merkel Cell Polyomavirus—Pathophysiology and Treatment in the Era of Gene‐Targeted Therapies
ABSTRACT Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is a significant contributor to the development of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), an aggressive skin cancer with high recurrence and a low survival rate. In fact, it is the deadliest skin cancer. The precise routes of transmission for MCPyV‐positive MCC remain unclear, but several factors may trigger its ...

DNA and seroprevalence study of MW and STL polyomaviruses
Abstract The clinical importance and the pathogenesis of the MW and STL polyomaviruses (PyVs) remain unclear. Our aim was to study the seroprevalence of MWPyV and STLPyV, and to examine the prevalence of viral DNA in respiratory samples and secondary lymphoid tissues. In total, 618 serum samples (0.8–90 years) were analyzed for seroprevalence.

A viral metagenomic survey identifies known and novel mammalian viruses in bats from Saudi Arabia.
Bats are implicated as natural reservoirs for a wide range of zoonotic viruses including SARS and MERS coronaviruses, Ebola, Marburg, Nipah, Hendra, Rabies and other lyssaviruses.

Receptor-Binding and Oncogenic Properties of Polyoma Viruses Isolated from Feral Mice [PDF]
Laboratory strains of the mouse polyoma virus differ markedly in their abilities to replicate and induce tumors in newborn mice. Major determinants of pathogenicity lie in the sialic binding pocket of the major capsid protein Vp1 and dictate receptor ...
