Until recently, members of the monogeneric family Arenaviridae (arenaviruses) have been known to infect only muroid rodents and, in one case, possibly phyllostomid bats. The paradigm of arenaviruses exclusively infecting...

The corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), was considered a secondary pest in Brazilian corn crops. However, from 2015 onwards, there was a significant increase in its population a...

Rotavirus A (RVA) possesses a genome of 11 double-stranded (ds) RNA segments, and each segment encodes one protein, with the exception of segment 11. NSP4 is a non-structural multifunctional protein encoded by segment 10...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the U.S. and the primary cause of multiple anogenital and oropharyngeal cancers. Although HPV vaccination is effective, uptake remains subop...

Diabetes which first appears after transplantation is called New Onset Diabetes Mellitus after Transplantation (NODAT). NODAT is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and decreased allograft survival. Risk fa...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a leading cause of acute respiratory tract infections, particularly in children, older adults, and individuals with immunocompromising conditions. Despite incr...

Quantifying neutralizing antibody levels across anatomical sites and understanding correlates of neutralization breadth is paramount for monoclonal antibody treatments and next-generation vaccination strategies. The syst...

Abstract Background Bacterial diseases include any illness caused by bacteria. Bacteria are tiny microorganisms that can only be seen with a microscope. Other types of microorganisms include viruses, fungi, and some para...

Since the 2022 global mpox outbreak, the lack of specific antibodies for mpox virus (MPXV) detection has hindered precise immunoassays due to cross-reactivity among Orthopoxviruses (OPXVs). This study developed and chara...

Viruses that infect bacteria (bacteriophages or phages) are the most abundant biological entities in thebiosphere. Phages play a central role in shaping microbial communities and regulating global biogeochemicalcycles. T...

The parenteral administration of antivenoms is the cornerstone of snakebite envenoming therapy. Efforts are made to ensure that antivenoms of adequate efficacy and safety are available world-wide. We address the main iss...

mRNA vaccines emerged as a leading vaccine technology during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, their sustained protective efficacies were limited by relatively short-lived antibody responses and the emergence of SARS-CoV-2...

ABSTRACT Bovine alphaherpesviruses 1 and 5 (BoHV-1/5) are main pathogens of respiratory, reproductive and neurological diseases in cattle. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of neutralizing antibodies...

BackgroundHMPV is a leading cause of pediatric lower respiratory tract infections, second only to respiratory syncytial virus in causing severe pneumonia in children. Its clinical presentation closely mimics other common...

The aim of this work was the cloning of those transmembrane glycoproteins G and F from an isolate bovine respiratory syncytial viruses (BRSV) - a Brazilian isolate of BRSV, named BRSV-25-BR in previous studies, in a prok...

During a series of experiments attempting to reproduce clinically apparent bovine herpesvirus type 5 (BoHV-5) infections, a group of calves was inadvertently infected with bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV). Another gro...

Abstract Potato crops in Bangladesh are significantly threatened by viral diseases, underscoring the need for comprehensive virome profiling to inform sustainable management strategies. In this study, we employed high-th...

The lung, and more specifically the airway epithelium, is continuously exposed to a wide range of inhaled environmental agents. Acting as a frontline physical and biochemical barrier, the airway epithelium orchestrates e...

Duck adenovirus 3 (DAdV-3) was firstly identified in Muscovy ducklings exhibiting slight pericardial effusion, swelling, and hemorrhaging in the kidneys, which is a poorly characterized duck virus. This study established...

BackgroundHospital-acquired infections such as nosocomial pneumonia are a serious cause of mortality for hospitalized patients, especially for those admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). Despite the number of the stud...

IntroductionHead and neck cancer (HNC) is a major global health issue, often linked to smoking, alcohol, and viruses (HPV, EBV). HPV-driven oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) showed distinct biology and better...
