Combinatorial mutagenesis of rapidly evolving residues yields super-restrictor antiviral proteins.
PLoS Biology, 2019 Antagonistic interactions drive host-virus evolutionary arms races, which often manifest as recurrent amino acid changes (i.e., positive selection) at their protein-protein interaction interfaces.

Reverse Vaccinology Integrated with Biophysics Techniques for Designing a Peptide-Based Subunit Vaccine for Bourbon Virus [PDF]
BioengineeringDespite the seriousness of the disease carried by ticks, little is known about the Bourbon virus. Only three US states have recorded human cases of Bourbon virus (BRBV) infection; in all cases, a tick bite was connected with the onset of the illness. The

A Rare Case of Myocarditis in the Context of Norovirus Gastroenteritis. [PDF]
Case Rep CardiolWe present a rare case of viral myocarditis secondary to a rarely reported cause, norovirus. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with acute chest pain accompanied by troponin elevation. We discuss the significance of advanced imaging techniques, particularly cardiac magnetic resonance, in the diagnosis of this condition.

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1062-1078, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Ticks are the second most important vector capable of transmitting diseases affecting the health of both humans and animals. Amblyomma testudinarium Koch 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae), is a hard tick species having a wide geographic distribution in Asia. In this study, we analyzed the composition of A.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 2429-2445, July 2021., 2021 Abstract Vectors of emerging infectious diseases have expanded their distributional ranges in recent decades due to increased global travel, trade connectivity and climate change. Transboundary range shifts, arising from the continuous movement of humans and livestock across borders, are of particular disease control concern.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Bourbon virus (BRBV) was first isolated from a patient hospitalized at the University of Kansas Hospital in 2014. Since then, several deaths have been reported to be caused by BRBV infection in the Midwest and Southern United States. BRBV is a tick-borne

Experimental Infection of Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae) With Bourbon Virus (Orthomyxoviridae: Thogotovirus) [PDF]
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2020 Abstract Following the recent discovery of Bourbon virus (BRBV) as a human pathogen, and the isolation of the virus from Amblyomma americanum (L.) collected near the location of a fatal human case, we undertook a series of experiments to assess the laboratory vector competence of this tick species for BRBV.

Characterisation of putative novel tick viruses and zoonotic risk prediction. [PDF]
Ecol EvolTick‐borne viruses remain a substantial zoonotic risk worldwide, so knowledge of the diversity of tick viruses has potential health consequences. Through data mining and bioinformatic analyses of more than 37,800 public meta‐genomic and ‐transcriptomic data sets, we found five putative novel Alphatetra‐like viruses, four putative novel Orthomyxo‐like ...

Molecular Evidence of Orthomyxovirus Presence in Colombian Neotropical Bats
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 The Orthomyxoviridae family includes the genera Influenzavirus, Isavirus, Quaranjavirus, and Thogotovirus. In turn, Influenzavirus can be classified into four types: α, β, γ, and δ (Formerly A, B, C, and D), from which Alphainfluenzavirus (AIV) has the ...
