Viruses, Volume 17, Issue 7

Enteroviruses (EVs) cause broad clinical manifestations, particularly in children. Certain serotypes have been implicated in respiratory infections; however, epidemiological studies analyzing EV circulation based on clinical respiratory specimens are...

Improved antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly increased the life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLWH). At the same time, other complications like metabolic syndrome (MetS) are coming up as new challenges to handle. This review aims t...

Despite current vaccines and therapeutics targeting SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of the COVID-19 pandemic, cases remain high causing a burden on health care systems. Spike-protein mediated membrane fusion of SARS-CoV-2 is a critical step in viral...

Bats and rodents represent the most species-rich and widespread mammalian groups on our planet [...]

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors face a critical translational challenge in ocular gene therapy due to pre-existing neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) whose seroprevalence limits patient eligibility. Standard NAb detection using non-ocular cell model...

Virus infections in plants are a major threat to crop production and sustainable agriculture, which results in significant yield losses globally. The past decade has seen the development and deployment of sophisticated high-throughput omics technolog...

Narrative review synthesizes the most current literature on the SARS-CoV-2 XEC variant, focusing on its genomic evolution, immune evasion characteristics, epidemiological dynamics, and public health implications. To achieve this, we conducted a struc...

Parvoviruses have compact genomic organizations with overlapping open reading frames and thus utilize alternative RNA processing strategies, alternative splicing, alternative polyadenylation, and alternative translation mechanisms to generate a range...

The relentless emergence of RNA viruses poses a perpetual threat to global public health, necessitating continuous efforts in surveillance, discovery, and understanding of these pathogens. This review provides a comprehensive update on recent advance...

Adrenomedullin (AM) is a bioactive peptide that is strongly induced during severe inflammation, including pneumonia and sepsis, and serves as an organ-protective factor. The plasma concentration of AM is markedly increased in the novel coronavirus di...
