The poxvirus F17 protein counteracts mitochondrially orchestrated antiviral responses

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Poxviruses are unusual DNA viruses that replicate in the cytoplasm. To do so, they encode approximately 100 immunomodulatory proteins that counteract cytosolic nucleic acid sensors such as cGAMP synthase (cGAS) along with several other antiviral response

Myxoma virus lacking the host range determinant M062 stimulates cGAS-dependent type 1 interferon response and unique transcriptomic changes in human monocytes/macrophages.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2022
The evolutionarily successful poxviruses possess effective and diverse strategies to circumvent or overcome host defense mechanisms. Poxviruses encode many immunoregulatory proteins to evade host immunity to establish a productive infection and have ...

Poxvirus under the eyes of electron microscope

open access: yesApplied Microscopy, 2022
Zoonotic poxvirus infections pose significant threat to human health as we have witnessed recent spread of monkeypox. Therefore, insights into molecular mechanism behind poxvirus replication cycle are needed for the development of efficient antiviral ...

Poxvirus DNA Replication [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2013
Poxviruses are large, enveloped viruses that replicate in the cytoplasm and encode proteins for DNA replication and gene expression. Hairpin ends link the two strands of the linear, double-stranded DNA genome. Viral proteins involved in DNA synthesis include a 117-kDa polymerase, a helicase-primase, a uracil DNA glycosylase, a processivity factor, a ...

A broadly applicable method to characterize large DNA viruses and adenoviruses based on the DNA polymerase gene [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
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.

Identification of Vaccinia Virus Inhibitors and Cellular Functions Necessary for Efficient Viral Replication by Screening Bioactives and FDA-Approved Drugs

open access: yesVaccines, 2020
Four decades after the eradication of smallpox, poxviruses continue to threaten the health of humans and other animals. Vaccinia virus (VACV) was used as the vaccine that successfully eradicated smallpox and is a prototypic member of the poxvirus family.

Strategies and Patterns of Codon Bias in Molluscum Contagiosum Virus

open access: yesPathogens, 2021
Trends associated with codon usage in molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) and factors governing the evolution of codon usage have not been investigated so far.

Contemporary outbreaks of different avipoxviruses in Humboldt penguins of wild animal park Planckendael and in chickens of commercial poultry farms in Belgium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In the present study, the first outbreak of a penguinpox virus (PPV) in Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldd) and four outbreaks of fowlpox virus (FPV) in layer chickens are reported.

Design Space Assessment of Virus Inactivation in Plasma‐Derived Matrices Establishes a Single Detergent Alternative to TX‐100‐Containing Mixes

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The detergent Triton X‐100 (TX‐100) is a typical component of solvent/detergent (S/D) mixes applied for virus inactivation steps of biomanufacturing processes, yet environmentally unfavorable properties have led to restrictions on its use. Deviron 13‐S9 has recently been described as an eco‐friendly TX‐100 alternative, with powerful virus ...

Viral skin diseases in odontocete cetaceans: gross, histopathological, and molecular characterization of selected pathogens

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Fifty-five skin lesions from 31 stranded cetaceans along the Canary coasts (2011–2021) were submitted to macroscopic, histological, and molecular analyses to confirm infection by cetacean poxvirus, herpesvirus and cetacean morbillivirus.
