Wild birds are the reservoir for low-pathogenic avian influenza viruses, which are frequently transmitted to domestic birds and occasionally to mammals. In 2014, an H10N7 virus caused severe mortality in harbor seals in northeastern Europe.

Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that rely on cell surface receptor molecules to complete the first step of invading host cells. The experimental method for virus receptor screening is time-consuming, and receptor molecules have been ...

Herpesviruses are ubiquitous viruses, specifically the Epstein Barr virus (EBV). EBV and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) establish their latency for a long period in B-cells and their reactivation instigates dreadful diseases from cancer ...

Receptors for Hepatitis C Virus
The nature of the receptors enabling hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry into cells has been the subject of debate. On one hand, ligand panning with recombinant HCV envelope protein has identified CD81, a member of the tetraspanin superfamily of proteins, as a direct ligand for the E2 glycoprotein (7) but fails to explain virus tropism.

TAM Receptors Are Not Required for Zika Virus Infection in Mice
Summary: Tyro3, Axl, and Mertk (TAM) receptors are candidate entry receptors for infection with the Zika virus (ZIKV), an emerging flavivirus of global public health concern.

High affinity allele for the gene of FCGR3A is risk factor for HIV infection and progression. [PDF]
We investigated the genetics of Fc receptors, which function as activating receptors on immune cells and help to control HIV through antibody-mediated cellular cytotoxicity.

Measles Virus Receptor SLAM (CD150)
Measles virus (MV), a member of the Morbillivirus genus in the Paramyxoviridae family, is an enveloped virus with a nonsegmented negative-strand RNA genome and infects humans and nonhuman primates (Griffin, 2001). Despite the availability of vaccines, MV remains a major cause of childhood mortality, claiming roughly one million lives a year worldwide ...

Virus recognition of glycan receptors
Attachment of viruses to cell-surface receptors is the initial step in infection. Many mammalian viruses have evolved to recognize receptors that are glycans on cell-surface glycoproteins or glycolipids. Although glycans are a ubiquitous component of mammalian cells, the types of terminal structures expressed vary among different cell-types and tissues,

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Respiratory virus infection up-regulates TRPV1, TRPA1 and ASICS3 receptors on airway cells.
Receptors implicated in cough hypersensitivity are transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), transient receptor potential cation channel, Subfamily A, Member 1 (TRPA1) and acid sensing ion channel receptor 3 (ASIC3).
