Rotavirus

WikiJournal of Medicine, 2017
Rotavirus is the most common cause of diarrhoeal disease among infants and young children. It is a genus of double-stranded RNA viruses in the family Reoviridae. Nearly every child in the world is infected with rotavirus at least once by the age of five.

From Lake Victoria to the Tap: Antibiotic Resistance and Pathogenic Contamination of Kisumu City Water Supply and Wastewater Network

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 547-559, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Waterborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pose mounting public health threats across sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly in rapidly urbanising regions dependent on untreated or poorly treated surface waters. This study applied shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterise microbial communities, virulence factors and antibiotic ...

Toward Dual‐Function Nanoparticle Platforms for Arboviral Diagnostics and Vaccines: Advances, Challenges, and Future Prospects

Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
This review explores nanoparticle (NP)‐based biosensors and nanovaccine platforms for arboviral infections, highlighting their design, performance, and translational potential. By comparing case studies across viruses, it identifies gold‐standard nanomaterials such as gold NPs (AuNPs), zinc oxide NPs (ZnONPs), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanocomposites,

Assessment of the gorilla gut virome in association with natural simian immunodeficiency virus infection

Retrovirology, 2018
Background Simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) of chimpanzees and gorillas from Central Africa crossed the species barrier at least four times giving rise to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) groups M, N, O and P.

Plant Virus‐Induced Inheritable Apoptosis Drives Reproductive Costs in Female Insect Vectors to Balance Viral Biparental Transmission

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, 27 January 2026.
Rice gall dwarf virus (RGDV), transmitted biparentally by leafhopper vector to their offspring, exploits the capsid protein to induce inheritable ovarian apoptosis via insulin‐driven PI3K/AKT/FoxO signaling axis. This mechanism enhances infection but reduces female reproductive fitness, causing inefficient maternal transmission.

Insect I‐Type Lysozymes Function as Antiviral Proteases by Forming Biomolecular Condensates

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, 5 January 2026.
Upon rice viral infection, the insect vector activates the Toll–MyD88–Dorsal signaling cascade, inducing i‐type lysozyme (Lyz‐I1) expression. Lyz‐I1 functions as an antiviral protease through its conserved catalytic dyad Glu/Asp (E/D), mediating cleavage of viral proteins at specific Lys (K) residues.

Role of the Choline‐Binding Protein A in the Ability of Porcine Ligilactobacillus salivarius FFIG58 to Modulate TLR3‐Mediated Intestinal Antiviral Immunity

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
The choline‐binding protein A (CbpA) was shown to mediate adhesion of probiotic Ligilactobacillus salivarius strains to human intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). A knockout mutant lacking the CbpA protein derived from the immunomodulatory porcine strain L. salivarius FFIG58 was obtained. The CbpA is a key surface protein of L.

Geographic and Molecular Insights Into Bat Diversity and Virus Distribution in China: Implications for Public Health

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Bats are key reservoirs of zoonotic viruses, yet comprehensive data on their diversity and viral carriage across China remain limited. This study compiled national‐level data on bat taxonomy, distribution, and associated viruses by integrating information from peer‐reviewed publications (PubMed), the ZOVER database, and cytochrome oxidase I ...
