Coping with Viral Diversity in HIV Vaccine Design [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2007
The ability of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) to develop high levels of genetic diversity, and thereby acquire mutations to escape immune pressures, contributes to the difficulties in producing a vaccine. Possibly no single HIV-1 sequence can induce sufficiently broad immunity to protect against a wide variety of infectious strains, or ...

Rhinovirus Biology, Antigenic Diversity, and Advancements in the Design of a Human Rhinovirus Vaccine

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Human rhinovirus (HRV) remains a leading cause of several human diseases including the common cold. Despite considerable research over the last 60 years, development of an effective vaccine to HRV has been viewed by many as unfeasible due, in part, to ...

Viral Complexity

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
Although traditionally viewed as streamlined and simple, discoveries over the last century have revealed that viruses can exhibit surprisingly complex physical structures, genomic organization, ecological interactions, and evolutionary histories. Viruses

Genetic Diversity of Viral Populations Associated with Ananas Germplasm and Improvement of Virus Diagnostic Protocols

open access: yes, 2022
Pineapple (Ananas comosus L. [Merr.]) accessions from the U.S. Tropical Plant Genetic Resources and Disease Research (TPGRDR) in Hilo, Hawaii were subjected to RNA-sequencing to study the occurrence of viral populations associated with this vegetatively ...

Viromes of Coastal Waters of the North Caspian Sea: Initial Assessment of Diversity and Functional Potential

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
In recent years, the study of marine viromes has become one of the most relevant areas of geoecology. Viruses are the most numerous, genetically diverse and pervasive biological entities on Earth, including in aquatic ecosystems.

Metagenomic analysis of viral diversity in Portuguese bats. [PDF]

open access: yesVet Res Commun
Abstract Bats are highly diverse mammals and known reservoirs of numerous zoonotic viruses. Their role in the ecology of emerging infectious diseases continues to be of significant interest. This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of coronaviruses (CoVs) in Portuguese bats and predict the affinity of their ...

Genetic Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 Variants in Mexico during the First Year of the COVID-19 Pandemic

open access: yesViruses, 2021
During the first year of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Mexico, more than two million people were infected. In this study, we analyzed full genome sequences from 27 February 2020 to 28 February 2021 to characterize the geographical and temporal distribution ...
