Tomato marchitez virus, a new plant picorna-like virus from tomato related to tomato torrado virus [PDF]
A new virus was isolated from a tomato plant from the state of Sinaloa in Mexico. This plant showed symptoms locally known as `marchitez disease¿: severe leaf necrosis, beginning at the base of the leaflets, and necrotic rings on the fruits.

Coagulation, Protease-Activated Receptors, and Viral Myocarditis [PDF]
The coagulation protease cascade plays an essential role in hemostasis. In addition, a clot contributes to host defense by limiting the spread of pathogens. Coagulation proteases induce intracellular signaling by cleavage of cell surface receptors called protease-activated receptors (PARs).

Avian influenza viruses continue to threaten globally with pandemic potential. The first step in a potential pandemic is the ability of the virus to enter human cells which is mediated by the viral surface glycoprotein hemagglutinin (HA).

Background Antivirals are needed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, which is caused by SARS-CoV-2. The clinically-proven protease inhibitor Camostat mesylate inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection by blocking the virus-activating host cell protease TMPRSS2. However,

The role of proteases in the invasion of SARS-CoV-2 virus into human host cells
The new coronavirus, which originally broke out in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, increase quickly around the world, causing a pandemic all over the world. The virus uses its spike protein to enter the human host cells.
