Journal in Computer Virology 3, 4 (2007) 247-251, 2007 'Trojan horses', 'logic bombs', 'armoured viruses' and 'cryptovirology' are terms recalling war gears. In fact, concepts of attack and defence drive the world of computer virology, which looks like a war universe in an information society. This war has several shapes, from invasions of a network by worms, to military and industrial espionage ...

A dynamic Bayesian nonlinear mixed-effects model of HIV response incorporating medication adherence, drug resistance and covariates [PDF]
Annals of Applied Statistics 2011, Vol. 5, No. 1, 551-577, 2011 HIV dynamic studies have contributed significantly to the understanding of HIV pathogenesis and antiviral treatment strategies for AIDS patients. Establishing the relationship of virologic responses with clinical factors and covariates during long-term antiretroviral (ARV) therapy is important to the development of effective treatments.

Uncovering Virus-Virus Interactions by Unifying Approaches and Harnessing High-Throughput Tools
mSystems, 2019 Virus-host interactions have received much attention in virology. Virus-virus interactions can occur when >1 virus infects a host and can be deemed social when one virus affects the fitness of another virus, as in the well-known case of superinfection ...

Modeling long-term longitudinal HIV dynamics with application to an AIDS clinical study [PDF]
Annals of Applied Statistics 2008, Vol. 2, No. 4, 1384-1408, 2009 A virologic marker, the number of HIV RNA copies or viral load, is currently used to evaluate antiretroviral (ARV) therapies in AIDS clinical trials. This marker can be used to assess the ARV potency of therapies, but is easily affected by drug exposures, drug resistance and other factors during the long-term treatment evaluation process.

Old Enemy with a New Face: Re-emerging Monkeypox Disease – An Update
Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2022 Human monkeypox (MPX), a multi-country re-emerging disease, is rapidly spreading around the world. The etiological agent of this disease, Monkeypox virus (MPXV), is a DNA virus classified into three genetic types (West Africa, Congo Basin clade, and one ...

A pharmacokinetic -- viral kinetic model describes the effect of alisporivir monotherapy or in combination with peg-IFN on 2 hepatitis C virologic response [PDF]
Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, American Society for
Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2014, 96 (5), pp.599-608, 2015 Alisporivir is a cyclophilin inhibitor with demonstrated in vitro and in vivo activity against hepatitis C 11 virus (HCV). We estimated antiviral effectiveness of alisporivir alone or in combination with 12 pegylated-Inteferon (peg-IFN) in 88 patients infected with different HCV genotypes treated for four 13 weeks.
