Effective Strategies for Preventing and Mitigating Emerging Viruses
… of pandemic proportion, with zoonotic RNA viruses such as chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and SARS-CoV-2 posing significant threats to global health. Several environmental and evolutionary factors have fueled the emergence and spread of infection, creating a constant arms race against emerging …

Metagenomic identification and characterisation of emerging and re-emerging viruses causing disease in febrile patients.
Emerging infectious diseases (EID) significantly impact public health and have the potential to cause pandemics. Outbreaks of EID have increased in recent decades, with RNA viruses responsible for a substantial proportion of them. Outbreaks are more likely to occur in areas with high biodiversity, …

Comparative Respiratory Tract Pathology of Emerging Viral Infections
… Many of these outbreaks have been caused by emerging zoonotic viruses. It has recently been estimated that there are at least 320,000 viruses in mammals that have yet to be discovered, some of which may affect humans. As humans continue to encroach upon previously isolated areas and have …

Plant virus detection and diversity in a mixed tree fruit orchard determined through metagenomic-based analysis of honeybee (Apis mellifera) collected samples
… Over time, fruit trees can accumulate various viruses, leading to complex mixed infections. Furthermore, emerging viruses can create epidemics causing significant losses. Effective monitoring approaches can reduce these impacts through management practices. Pollination is an essential aspect of …

UNDERSTANDING PLACENTAL IMMUNITY: CYTOKINE CONTROL OF CONGENITAL VIRAL INFECTION
… infection. Following maternal infection, certain viruses can traverse the placental barrier, establish infection in the fetus, and cause adverse pregnancy outcomes or congenital disease. To combat this, the placenta has evolved potent defenses including the constitutive secretion of antiviral …

Are bats evolving more potent antiviral immune systems? Investigating the evolution and antiviral capacity of SERINC3 in Rhinolophus bats
… any signs of disease. Several pandemic and emerging viruses have been traced back to different bat species, including SARS-CoV-2, SARS, Ebola virus and Nipah virus. Genetic positive selection analysis conducted in a recent study has revealed a pattern of antiviral immune genes under positive …

Evaluating the Prevalence of Tick-Borne Viruses Circulating in Virginia Using a One-Health Approach
… pathogens, including bacteria, protozoa, and viruses, to vertebrates. In the United States, tick-borne pathogens are responsible for around 95% of arthropod-borne diseases. Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne illness. However, emerging tick-borne viruses such as Bourbon virus (BRBV), …

Investigation of mosquito (diptera: culicidae)-borne viruses circulating in some selected areas of Lusaka district, Zambia.
Mosquito-borne viruses are RNA viruses cutting across different virus families and genera of emerging and re-emerging viruses that account for millions of disease incidences annually worldwide. Since the circulation of viruses in vectors heralds an outbreak of diseases, this present cross-sectional …

The role of RNA structures in the evolution of respiratory RNA virus genomes.
… amino acid mutation and reduced in human-adapted viruses, but present in emerging H1N1 IAV. Using transfections, I subsequently identified that amino acid changes in the IAV RNA polymerase make the enzyme more sensitive to RNA structures, suggesting that the loss in RNA structure stability and …

On Epitope-Paratope Interactions of Emerging to Endemic Viruses
… it’s a challenge to manage the spectrum of viruses across the world. The addressable viral spectrum ranges from emerging viruses such as Nipah virus (NiV), which appear sporadically as local zoonotic outbreaks with high mortality, to continually-evolving endemic viruses such as influenza A …

The spread of Nipah and chikungunya viruses: implications for control
… and chikungunya have been identified as two emerging viruses that pose a significant threat with pandemic potential. This has led to considerable investment in the development of vaccines against the two pathogens, especially by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovation (CEPI). …

Development, Characterization, and Use of Molecular Tools to Study Immune-Driven Zika Virus Evolution
Emerging viruses represent a significant threat to human health. Understanding the drivers of emergence, such as viral evolution, is a critical avenue to combat these pathogens. One specific group of emerging pathogens of interest is flaviviruses. Flaviviruses are arthropod-borne viruses …

Characterization of the antiviral activity of cyclosporine A against dengue virus
… antiviral effective against various RNA and DNA viruses, including DENV. However, its antiviral mechanism is not fully understood, and its effectiveness against DENV-2 in different cell lines has yet to be explored. In this study, we evaluated the antiviral activity and mechanism of CsA against …

The study of highly pathogenic emerging zoonotic virus envelope proteins through pseudotyped virus generation
Emerging zoonotic viruses pose an increasing threat, causing outbreaks with high rates of morbidity and mortality and frequently significant economic implications. Often, there is a lack or shortfall of effective prophylaxis and diagnostic capabilities. Research towards their development, together …

Surveillance of Emerging Livestock Viruses
… are essential for the management and control of emerging infectious diseases. Therefore, the overall goals of studies presented in this dissertation were to provide improved diagnostic and surveillance capabilities for several emerging viral diseases impacting the livestock industry and to …

EPIDEMIOLOGIA GENOMICA DELLE PRINCIPALI VARIANTI DI SARS-COV-2 CIRCOLANTI IN ITALIA PRIMA E DURANTE L'ERA OMICRON
… of infections, particularly those due to emerging viruses. The COVID-19 pandemic presented a unique opportunity to apply such analyses to molecular surveillance due to the availability of SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences since early January 2020, which has reached the impressive number of more …
