Proteomics computational analyses suggest that the bornavirus glycoprotein is a class III viral fusion protein (γ penetrene) [PDF]
Background Borna disease virus (BDV) is the type member of the Bornaviridae, a family of viruses that induce often fatal neurological diseases in horses, sheep and other animals, and have been proposed to have roles in certain psychiatric diseases of ...

Raccoon density estimation from camera traps for raccoon rabies management
We examined if we could reliably estimate densities of unmarked raccoons from camera trap images by comparing against densities from concurrent live‐trapping mark recapture studies. Our results show promise that cameras can be used to assign densities to raccoon density index bins that are used for raccoon rabies management.

Новий рабдовірус плямистості листя аїру [PDF]
Spot sweetflag virus (SSV) corresponds by its morphology and structural components to the definition of rhabdovirus and belongs to the family of Rhabdoviridae. Virions of SSV have a bacillus-like form and a size of 110–130 × 45 nm.

Using Vesicular Stomatitis Virus as a Platform for Directed Protease Evolution
Abstract Antiviral drugs are essential medications to save the lives of infected people. However, they are under constant threat to become ineffective as viruses evolve quickly. Studying the development of resistance is therefore paramount to understand the impact of mutations on pharmacological treatment and to make informed decisions.

The RNA interference response to alphanodavirus replication in Phlebotomus papatasi sand fly cells
Both the siRNA and piRNA pathways are transcriptionally active in Phlebotomus papatasi PP9ad cells. Assembly of small RNA sequencing identifies an adventitious nodavirus (American nodavirus [ANV]) in PP9ad cells. ANV is actively replicating in PP9ad cells and is targeted by the exo‐siRNA pathway but not the piRNA pathway.

Members of the family Rhabdoviridae have unsegmented, negative-strand RNA genomes. Rod- or bullet-shaped virions are enveloped with helical nucleocapsids. There are well over 100 named rhabdoviruses isolated from hosts as diverse as insects, vertebrate animals, and plants.

Vesicular Stomatitis Virus as a Platform for Protease Activity Measurements
Abstract Protease inhibitors are among the most powerful antiviral drugs. They have been used successfully against viruses, such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2).

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.
