Innate immunity shapes the persistent transmission of plant viruses by insect vectors

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
In this review, we focus on two key aspects of the virus–vector interplay: (1) persistently transmitted viruses utilize host factors to overcome transmission barriers; and (2) molecular recognition activates antiviral immunity and subsequent viral counter‐defense. Understanding these interactions offers critical insights for developing novel strategies

Peginterferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin for treating chronic hepatitis C virus infection: Analysis of Mexican patients included in a multicenter international clinical trial

Annals of Hepatology, 2003
Treatment with polyethylene glycol-modified interferon alfa-2a (peginterferon) alone produces significantly higher sustained antiviral responses than treatment with interferon alfa-2a alone in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Postexposure Prophylaxis for Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus among Healthcare Workers

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effectiveness of ribavirin use for the prevention of infection and death of healthcare workers exposed to patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) infection. Splashes with blood

Ribavirin for treating Lassa fever: A systematic review of pre-clinical studies and implications for human dosing.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
Ribavirin is currently the standard of care for treating Lassa fever. However, the human clinical trial data supporting its use suffer from several serious flaws that render the results and conclusions unreliable.

Therapy With Doxycycline and Hydroxychloroquine Enables Surgical Excision of Ulcerated Cutaneous Granulomas in a Patient With Ataxia Telangiectasia

Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rubella virus vaccine strain can cause granulomas in patients with inborn errors of immunity that may evolve into chronic, recalcitrant ulcers. This report details treatment of ulcerated rubella granulomas in a patient with ataxia telangiectasia with doxycycline and hydroxychloroquine resulting in partial ulcer healing within 4 weeks ...

Effect of Ribavirin on Hepatitis A Virus Replication In Vitro

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1992
The effect of ribavirin on fetal Rhesus monkey kidney cells (FRhK-4) acutely or chronically infected with hepatitis A virus was studied. The effect of ribavirin on hepatitis A virus yield as detected by radioimmunoassay in acutely infected FRhK-4 cells ...

Electromechanical modelling and simulation of human‐induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocytes predict drug‐induced contractility effects

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A study described in this paper describes a new tool for hiPSC‐CM electromechanical behaviour simulations using mathematical modelling. The model enables in silico assays making drug testing quick, comprehensive and accurate. New hiPSC‐CM models can be used as a platform to integrate in vitro and in silico findings.

Ribavirin for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever: systematic review and meta-analysis

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2010
Background Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever epidemics often occur in areas where health services are limited, and result in high case fatality rates. Besides intensive care, ribavirin is often recommended.

Randomized Trial Evaluating the Impact of Ribavirin Mono-Therapy and Double Dosing on Viral Kinetics, Ribavirin Pharmacokinetics and Anemia in Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1 Infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
In this pilot study (RibaC), 58 hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infected treatment-naïve patients were randomized to (i) 2 weeks ribavirin double dosing concomitant with pegylated interferon-α (pegIFN-α), (ii) 4 weeks ribavirin mono-therapy prior to ...
