Defensin-driven viral evolution. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2020
Enteric alpha-defensins are potent effectors of innate immunity that are abundantly expressed in the small intestine. Certain enteric bacteria and viruses are resistant to defensins and even appropriate them to enhance infection despite neutralization of

Viral evolution during primary infection in immunocompromised hosts. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology
The immune response to viral infection is a delicate balance. By perturbing this balance, immunodeficiencies are expected to influence within-host viral evolution.

Viral Quasispecies Evolution [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2012
SUMMARYEvolution of RNA viruses occurs through disequilibria of collections of closely related mutant spectra or mutant clouds termed viral quasispecies. Here we review the origin of the quasispecies concept and some biological implications of quasispecies dynamics.

Topology of viral evolution [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
Significance Evolution is mediated not only by random mutations over a number of generations (vertical evolution), but also through the mixture of genomic material between individuals of different lineages (horizontal evolution). The standard evolutionary representation, the phylogenetic tree, faithfully represents the former but not ...

Viral evolution and epidemiology [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 1997
This review highlights recent research on viral evolution and its use towards understanding disease pathogenesis and epidemiology. The development of techniques such as enzymatic amplification of viral genomes and automated sequencing has led to a dramatic increase in the amount of sequence information from clinical samples. These sequences (RNA or DNA,

Intradermal needle-free injection prevents African Swine Fever transmission, while intramuscular needle injection does not

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Shared needles are a possible iatrogenic and hematogenous inanimate vector of African Swine Fever virus (ASFV) in farm conditions. To evaluate that possible transmission, sixty, 4-week-old pigs were procured from an ASF free herd free. Upon arrival, pigs
