A new host factor for Old World arthritogenic viruses
A new host factor for Old World arthritogenic viruses Old World and New World alphaviruses Alphaviruses are mosquito-transmitted viruses that cause a range of human diseases, with manifestations varying from fever or rash to significant inflammatory pathologies,...
Targeting the host to defeat the virus
Targeting the host to defeat the virus Amongst the various viruses that can cause flu- and cold-like illnesses, rhinoviruses are the most common. Picornaviridae Rhinoviruses (RV) are a family of single-stranded RNA viruses. More than 100 distinct RV serotypes have...
Evolutionary insights into cross-species transmission
Evolutionary insights into cross-species transmission Pathogens emerging from the wild constitute one of the major risks to human and animal health. Beside occasional spillovers, where pathogens can accidentally infect a new host, taxon shifts involve a degree of...
Tech Advance: direct RNA sequencing of the native flu genome
Tech Advance: direct RNA sequencing of the native flu genome Indirect sequencing of RNA Ribonucleic acid sequencing can be used to monitor the RNAs present in a sample. So far, the sequencing of RNA has been mostly indirect, being first reverse transcribed into cDNA,...Page 25 of 30
