Pathogenicity and virulence of hepatitis A virus [PDF]
Virulence, 2021 Hepatitis A is an acute infection of the liver, which is mostly asymptomatic in children and increases the severity with age. Although in most patients the infection resolves completely, in a few of them it may follow a prolonged or relapsed course or even a fulminant form.

Polymorphisms for Defence and Virulence in the Arabidopsis thaliana–Cucumber mosaic virus Interaction Are Expressed in the Host’s Native Habitat [PDF]
VirusesPlant defences are assumed to evolve in response to the negative effects of virus infection on plant fitness (virulence), and to drive plant–virus coevolution.

Pathogenicity and virulence of Hepatitis B virus [PDF]
Virulence, 2022 Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a hepatotropic virus and an important human pathogen. There are an estimated 296 million people in the world that are chronically infected by this virus, and many of them will develop severe liver diseases including hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Determinants of virulence of influenza A virus [PDF]
European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2013 Influenza A viruses cause yearly seasonal epidemics and occasional global pandemics in humans. In the last century, four human influenza A virus pandemics have occurred. Occasionally, influenza A viruses that circulate in other species cross the species barrier and infect humans. Virus reassortment (i.e. mixing of gene segments of multiple viruses) and

Evaluation in Swine of a Recombinant Georgia 2010 African Swine Fever Virus Lacking the I8L Gene
Viruses, 2020 African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the causative agent of African swine fever, a disease currently causing significant economic losses in Europe and Asia. Specifically, the highly virulent ASFV strain Georgia 2010 (ASFV-G) is producing disease outbreaks

Mouse-adapted H9N2 influenza A virus PB2 protein M147L and E627K mutations are critical for high virulence. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 H9N2 influenza viruses have been circulating worldwide in multiple avian species and have repeatedly infected humans to cause typical disease. The continued avian-to-human interspecies transmission of H9N2 viruses raises concerns about the possibility of

The Evolutionary Pathway to Virulence of an RNA Virus [PDF]
Cell, 2017 Paralytic polio once afflicted almost half a million children each year. The attenuated oral polio vaccine (OPV) has enabled world-wide vaccination efforts, which resulted in nearly complete control of the disease. However, poliovirus eradication is hampered globally by epidemics of vaccine-derived polio.

Re-Assembly and Analysis of an Ancient Variola Virus Genome
Viruses, 2017 We report a major improvement to the assembly of published short read sequencing data from an ancient variola virus (VARV) genome by the removal of contig-capping sequencing tags and manual searches for gap-spanning reads. The new assembly, together with
