Positive selection in the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase gene of Newcastle disease virus and its effect on vaccine efficacy [PDF]

, 2011
Background To investigate the relationship between the selective pressure and the sequence variation of the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein, we performed the positive selection analysis by estimating the ratio of non-synonymous to ...

Advancing the field of viroporins—Structure, function and pharmacology: IUPHAR Review 39

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 181, Issue 22, Page 4450-4490, November 2024.
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.

Mannosylation of virus-like particles enhances internalization by antigen presenting cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Internalization of peptides by antigen presenting cells is crucial for the initiation of the adaptive immune response. Mannosylation has been demonstrated to enhance antigen uptake through mannose receptors, leading to improved immune responses.

RHDV2 outbreak reduces survival and juvenile recruitment, causing European rabbit population collapse

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Infectious diseases can cause considerable mortality in vertebrate populations, especially when a new pathogen emerges. Quantifying the impact of diseases on wild populations and dissecting the underlying mechanisms requires longitudinal individual monitoring combining demographic and epidemiologic data.

Remote sensing for rangeland conservation monitoring: Impacts of livestock removal after 15 years

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2111-2122, September 2024.
The ability to quantify management‐related impacts in land condition using freely available remote sensing data could support improved management by all stakeholders in these regions. The method leverages readily available satellite remote sensing data in a study design that is not dependent on large geospatial and climatic datasets that are not ...

Occurrence of Coxiella burnetii in wild lagomorphs and their ticks in Spanish Mediterranean ecosystems

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 549-559, August 2024.
Abstract Background Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, is a zoonotic multi‐host vector‐borne pathogen of major public health importance. Although the European Food Safety Authority has recently made the monitoring of this bacterium in wildlife a priority, the role of wild lagomorphs in the transmission and maintenance of C.

België ontsnapt niet aan het 'rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus-2' [PDF]

, 2016
Since 2016, an extensive spread of RHDV2, a virus variant of the classical rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) is ongoing in the Belgian rabbit population. Both variants of the virus usually cause acute death without prior symptoms.

Using bioindicators to inform effective predator management for threatened species protection

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract In Australia, most threatened species translocations conducted into areas where feral predators are present fail to establish viable, self‐sustaining populations despite intensive predator control. These translocations are occurring amidst a lack of understanding regarding the conditions required for native species to survive, including ...
