Journal of Neurovirology, 2003 A number of viruses can initiate central nervous system (CNS) diseases that include demyelination as a major feature of neuropathology. In humans, the most prominent demyelinating diseases are progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, caused by JC papovirus destruction of oligodendrocytes, and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, an invariably fatal ...

The encephalomyocarditis virus [PDF]
Virulence, 2012 The encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) is a small non-enveloped single-strand RNA virus, the causative agent of not only myocarditis and encephalitis, but also neurological diseases, reproductive disorders and diabetes in many mammalian species. EMCV pathogenesis appears to be viral strain- and host-specific, and a better understanding of EMCV virulence

Identification and characterization of a novel non-structural protein of bluetongue virus [PDF]
, 2011 Bluetongue virus (BTV) is the causative agent of a major disease of livestock (bluetongue). For over two decades, it has been widely accepted that the 10 segments of the dsRNA genome of BTV encode for 7 structural and 3 non-structural proteins.

The splicing factor proline-glutamine rich (SFPQ/PSF) is involved in influenza virus transcription. [PDF]
, 2011 The influenza A virus RNA polymerase is a heterotrimeric complex responsible for viral genome transcription and replication in the nucleus of infected cells. We recently carried out a proteomic analysis of purified polymerase expressed in human cells and

Three broad modalities in the natural history of vertically acquired hepatitis C virus infection. [PDF]
, 2005 BACKGROUND: Little is known about the natural history of vertically acquired hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. METHODS: We performed a large, multicenter, prospective study of children born to HCV-infected women in Europe. Children were considered to

Tomato marchitez virus, a new plant picorna-like virus from tomato related to tomato torrado virus [PDF]
, 2008 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.

RNA interference targets arbovirus replication in Culicoides cells [PDF]
, 2013 Arboviruses are transmitted to vertebrate hosts by biting arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks and midges. These viruses replicate in both arthropods and vertebrates and are thus exposed to different antiviral responses in these organisms.
