Tick-borne encephalitis virus is an enveloped, pathogenic, RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus. Viral particles are formed when the nucleocapsid, consisting of an RNA genome and multiple copies of the capsid protein, buds through the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and acquires ...
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a highly adapted intracellular parasite that depends entirely on the host cell's metabolic resources and energy for the synthesis of viral components. However, the mechanisms by which BVDV remodels host lipid metabolism remain unclear. In this study, we explo...
Salt marshes are highly productive ecosystems where microbial communities drive key
transformations of organic matter at rates often exceeding those of oceanic and inland
environments. Viruses are recognised as important drivers and regulators of global
biogeochemical cycling, y...
This study identifies grass carp TLR4bb as a crucial hub coordinating antiviral immunity with heme metabolism, redox balance, and gut microbiota during GCRV-II infection. While TLR4bb recruits TIRAP/MyD88/TRIF to activate IFN signaling against the virus, its synergy with heme and viral sensing tr...
Despite the nuclear localization of the m6A machinery, the genomes of multiple exclusively-cytoplasmic RNA viruses, such as chikungunya (CHIKV) and dengue (DENV), are reported to be extensively m6A-modified. However, these findings are mostly based on m6A-seq, an antibody-dependent technique with...
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is an infectious disease with a mortality rate of nearly 100% in pigs; however, no safe commercial vaccines or antiviral drugs are currently available, which seriously threatens the global pig industry. Therefore, effective biologicals against ASFV are urgently ne...
