Poxviruses are large double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses that cause important human and animal diseases, including smallpox and mpox. Poxviruses have also been identified in diverse bat populations; however, their potential for zoonotic transmission...
The 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) showed how genetic mutations can alter coronavirus characteristics. However, the evolution of livestock coronaviruses remains understudied. We analyzed 15 bovine coronavirus (BCoV), three porcine hemag...
Oxford Nanopore technology enables cost-effective, portable, long-read analyses of pathogen genomes. Accurate detection and interpretation of small circular viral genomes, including Anelloviridae, remain challenging due to limited base-level error qu...
Determining HIV-1 tropism provides the prognosis of HIV infection and is required before prescribing maraviroc, an entry inhibitor that blocks the interaction between the viral gp120 and the CCR5 coreceptor. However, existing prediction algorithms ha...
Avian viruses formed the foundation of early retrovirology. The historical line extends from the discovery of the first sarcoma virus by Peyton Rous to the quantitative determination of oncogenic activity in cell culture by the focus assay. As a vira...
Background: Antiretroviral resistance-associated mutations, within the broader context of HIV-1 genetic variability, represent a growing challenge for HIV-1 control, highlighting the need for continuous molecular surveillance and mechanistic understa...
The molecular mechanisms governing the efficient packaging of the large SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome into progeny virions remain incompletely understood, with the role of untranslated regions (UTRs) being particularly enigmatic. Leveraging proximity ligatio...
Andes virus (ANDV) is the only hantavirus with well-documented evidence of person-to-person transmission. However, key parameters related to transmission timing, viral shedding, exposure contexts, and public health management remain incompletely defi...
While minimalist kinetic models effectively capture the acute inverse coupling between Hepatitis B (HBV) and Hepatitis Delta (HDV), they often fail to account for the asymptotic stability and long-term viral plateaus observed during clinical therapy....
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) remains a major cause of severe respiratory disease worldwide, particularly affecting young children and immunocompromised individuals, highlighting the need for additional therapeutic strategies. In this study, the...
Background: Humoral immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 are well documented, yet the immunopathogenic mechanisms distinguishing severe from critical disease remain incompletely defined, particularly in Middle Eastern populations. We investigated antibody...
Pollen constitutes the primary source of proteins, amino acids, lipids, sterols, vitamins, and minerals for honey bees. However, not all pollen types provide the same resources or have the same biological value. Its chemical composition changes accor...
Oncolytic viruses represent a promising class of anticancer therapeutics, and rapid, accurate quantification of viral titers is critical for ensuring both efficacy and safety during clinical development. Conventional viral titering methods, such as 5...
Wild boar populations are increasingly recognized as important hosts in the ecology of swine viruses, yet data from Croatia remain limited. This study aimed to establish baseline information on the presence of porcine bocavirus (PBoV) and porcine cyt...
The Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) complex comprises mosquito-borne neurotropic alphaviruses maintained in nature by mosquitoes. Although rare, human infections caused by these viruses can lead to febrile illness that may progress to severe...
Background: Following the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, increased reports of severe acute hepatitis of unknown etiology in children have raised concerns about virus-associated liver injury. Acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) a...
