Synthetic plant virology for nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine

WIREs Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology, Volume 9, Issue 4, July/August 2017., 2017
Plant viral structures frequently used in nanobiotechnology—CPMV (a) and TMV (b). Nanotechnology is a rapidly expanding field seeking to utilize nano‐scale structures for a wide range of applications. Biologically derived nanostructures, such as viruses and virus‐like particles (VLPs), provide excellent platforms for functionalization due to their ...

Plant‐based oral vaccines against zoonotic and non‐zoonotic diseases

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 14, Issue 11, Page 2079-2099, November 2016., 2016
Summary The shared diseases between animals and humans are known as zoonotic diseases and spread infectious diseases among humans. Zoonotic diseases are not only a major burden to livestock industry but also threaten humans accounting for >60% cases of human illness.

Nucleolin mediates the internalization of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus through clathrin-dependent endocytosis.

PLoS Pathogens, 2018
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) is an important member of the Caliciviridae family and a highly lethal pathogen in rabbits. Although the cell receptor of RHDV has been identified, the mechanism underlying RHDV internalization remains unknown.

Spillover events of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 2 (recombinant GI.4P-GI.2) from Lagomorpha to Eurasian badger [PDF]

, 2022
Rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) is a major threat to domestic and wild European rabbits. Presently, in Europe, the disease is caused mainly by Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2/b or Lagovirus europaeus GI.2), the origin of which is still ...

Plant‐Based Vaccines: Production and Challenges

Journal of Botany, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Plant‐based vaccine technologies involve the integration of the desired genes encoding the antigen protein for specific disease into the genome of plant tissues by various methods. Agrobacterium‐mediated gene transfer and transformation via genetically modified plant virus are the common methods that have been used to produce effective vaccines ...

Detection of rabbit Haemorrhagic disease virus 2 during the wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) eradication from the Berlengas archipelago, Portugal

BMC Veterinary Research, 2017
Background In the regular wildlife monitoring action carried out in the summer of the past few years at the Berlenga Island, wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have been repeatedly found dead. However, the origin of those deaths was never investigated.

Farming of Plant‐Based Veterinary Vaccines and Their Applications for Disease Prevention in Animals

Advances in Virology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Plants have been studied for the production of pharmaceutical compounds for more than two decades now. Ever since the plant‐made poultry vaccine against Newcastle disease virus made a breakthrough and went all the way to obtain regulatory approval, research to use plants for expression and delivery of vaccine proteins for animals was intensified ...

The structures of a naturally empty cowpea mosaic virus particle and its genome-containing counterpart by cryo-electron microscopy [PDF]

, 2017
Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) is a picorna-like plant virus. As well as an intrinsic interest in CPMV as a plant pathogen, CPMV is of major interest in biotechnology applications such as nanotechnology.
