West Nile Virus: Seroprevalence and Epidemiological Study in Blood Donors in North Central Anatolia Amid Global Threats

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT West Nile virus (WNV) is a pathogen belonging to the family Flaviviridae and the genus Flavivirus. This study examined WNV IgG antibodies in healthy blood donors at Hitit University Blood Centre in Corum, Türkiye, during 2019–2020 using ELISA, thereby providing seroepidemiological data on WNV in northern central Anatolia.

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 26, 30 March 2026.
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...
