Identifying Hendra Virus Diversity in Pteropid Bats [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Hendra virus (HeV) causes a zoonotic disease with high mortality that is transmitted to humans from bats of the genus Pteropus (flying foxes) via an intermediary equine host. Factors promoting spillover from bats to horses are uncertain at this time, but

Exploring Virus Diversity in the Potato leafhopper (Empoasca fabae), an Economically Important Agricultural Pest [PDF]

open access: yesViruses
The potato leafhopper (Empoasca fabae, PLH) is a serious pest that feeds on a wide range of agricultural crops and is found throughout the United States but is not known to be a vector for plant-infecting viruses.

Asynchrony between virus diversity and antibody selection limits influenza virus evolution

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Seasonal influenza viruses create a persistent global disease burden by evolving to escape immunity induced by prior infections and vaccinations. New antigenic variants have a substantial selective advantage at the population level, but these variants ...

Increased RNA virus population diversity improves adaptability [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
The replication machinery of most RNA viruses lacks proofreading mechanisms. As a result, RNA virus populations harbor a large amount of genetic diversity that confers them the ability to rapidly adapt to changes in their environment.

The Complex Role of HBeAg and Its Precursors in the Pathway to Hepatocellular Carcinoma

open access: yesViruses, 2023
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the seven known human oncogenic viruses and has adapted to coexist with a single host for prolonged periods, requiring continuous manipulation of immunity and cell fate decisions.

Imaging Techniques: Essential Tools for the Study of SARS-CoV-2 Infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
The world has seen the emergence of a new virus in 2019, SARS-CoV-2, causing the COVID-19 pandemic and millions of deaths worldwide. Microscopy can be much more informative than conventional detection methods such as RT-PCR.

Molecular characterization of hepatitis B virus (HBV) isolated from a pediatric case of acute lymphoid leukemia, with a delayed response to antiviral treatment: a case report

open access: yesBMC Pediatrics, 2022
Background Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is effectively used as the first-line antiviral for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in adults and children older than 12 years.

In vitro expression of precore proteins of hepatitis B virus subgenotype A1 is affected by HBcAg, and can affect HBsAg secretion

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
HBeAg, a non-particulate protein of hepatitis B virus (HBV), is translated from the precore/core region as a precursor, which is post-translationally modified.

Virus movement maintains local virus population diversity [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
Viruses are the largest reservoir of genetic material on the planet, yet little is known about the population dynamics of any virus within its natural environment. Over a 2-year period, we monitored the diversity of two archaeal viruses found in hot springs within Yellowstone National Park (YNP).
