Reconstitution of interferon regulatory factor 7 expression restores interferon beta induction in Huh7 cells

Journal of Virology
Abundance of essential components of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) recognition and the subsequent interferon (IFN) response vary widely between primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) and commonly used cell culture models based on derivatives of Huh7 cells ...

Hepatitis C virus NS5A protein promotes the lysosomal degradation of diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) via endosomal microautophagy

Autophagy Reports, 2022
Many viruses often use a protein degradation system (e.g., the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway or lysosome pathway) to modulate viral propagation and viral pathogenesis.

In silico screening and experimental validation identify riboflavin as an RNA-targeted antiviral against SARS-CoV-2

Scientific Reports
This study explored drug repurposing strategies against conserved RNA structures in the SARS-CoV-2 genome to address viral mutation challenges. Conserved RNA elements were computationally identified by aligning 283 SARS-CoV-2 genomes from Korean patients.

The practitioners guide for dealing with the novel Influenza A, H1n1 pandemic

South African Family Practice, 2009
Within three months of its discovery, the new Influenza A (H1n1) swineflu strain has spread to such an extent that a pandemic has been declared by the World Health Organization (WHO). Although most cases seem to be mild, cases of severe disease have also

Type 2 diabetes progression in an adult Ugandan population with new-onset diabetes: an observational prospective study

BMC Primary Care, 2023
Background The rate of progression of type 2 diabetes following diagnosis varies across individuals and populations. Studies investigating the progression of type 2 diabetes in adult African populations with newly diagnosed diabetes are limited. We aimed

Zika Virus Disease

Microbiology Spectrum, 2016
ABSTRACT The history of Zika virus disease serves as a paradigm of a typical emerging viral infection. Zika virus disease, a mosquito-borne flavivirus, was first isolated in 1947 in the Zika forest of Uganda. The same virus was also isolated from jungle-dwelling mosquitoes ( Aedes [ Stegomyia

Culicoides and midge-associated arboviruses on cattle farms in Yunnan Province, China

Parasite
Culicoides spp. (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are small biting midges, some of which are the vectors of arboviruses affecting livestock, i.e., African horse sickness virus (AHSV), bluetongue virus (BTV), and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV ...

The detection of 3 ambiguous type 2 vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPV2s) in Uganda

Virology Journal, 2018
Background The Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV or Sabin) is genetically unstable and may mutate to form vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs). Methods In 2014, two VDPVs type 2 were identified during routine surveillance of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases ...

A comparative analysis depicting the disease characteristics and phylogenetic signature of human cytomegalovirus infection in Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 seropositive patients with end-organ retinitis and gastro-enteric diseases

Scientific Reports, 2022
During advanced HIV infection, Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has been proven to produce devitalizing end-organ diseases (EOD). The interactive co-existence of HIV and HCMV has been reported by many researchers and has been suggested to be linked with a ...

Genomic Epidemiology and National Seroprevalence Reveal the Widespread Distribution of Palyam Viruses in China

Viruses
The taxonomic species Palyam virus (PALV) comprises a group of widely distributed, Culicoides-borne arboviruses linked to bovine reproductive disorders, yet its genetic diversity and seroprevalence in China have not been fully characterized.
