Virus-like particles in the plant hopper Javesella pellucida Fab. [PDF]
Javesella pellucida Fab. (Homoptera, Delphacidae) is one of two plant hoppers known to transmit the pathogen called European wheat striate mosaic virus (EWSMV) (Kisimoto & Watson, 1965) which has not yet been purified or identified visually (Serjeant ...

Norwalk virus-like particles as vaccines [PDF]
Noroviruses (NoV) cause the great majority of epidemic nonbacterial gastroenteritis in humans. Expression of the capsid protein in recombinant systems, including insect and plant cells, yields assembly of virus-like particles (VLPs) that mimic the antigenic structure of authentic virions, and are relatively acid- and heat-stable.

Viruses of protozoan parasites and viral therapy: Is the time now right?
Infections caused by protozoan parasites burden the world with huge costs in terms of human and animal health. Most parasitic diseases caused by protozoans are neglected, particularly those associated with poverty and tropical countries, but the paucity ...

Efficient production of foot-and-mouth disease virus empty capsids in insect cells following down regulation of 3C protease activity [PDF]
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a significant economically and distributed globally pathogen of Artiodactyla. Current vaccines are chemically inactivated whole virus particles that require large-scale virus growth in strict bio-containment with ...

Alterations of membrane curvature during influenza virus budding [PDF]
Influenza A virus belongs to the Orthomyxoviridae family. It is an enveloped virus that contains a segmented and negative-sense RNA genome. Influenza A viruses cause annual epidemics and occasional major pandemics, are a major cause of morbidity and ...

Cryotomography of budding influenza a virus reveals filaments with diverse morphologies that mostly do not bear a genome at their distal end [PDF]
Influenza viruses exhibit striking variations in particle morphology between strains. Clinical isolates of influenza A virus have been shown to produce long filamentous particles while laboratory-adapted strains are predominantly spherical.
