Development and characterization of DNAzyme candidates demonstrating significant efficiency against human rhinoviruses
...
Background: Infections with human rhinoviruses (RVs) are responsible for millions of common cold episodes and the majority of asthma exacerbations, especially in childhood. No drugs specifically targeting RVs are available. Objective: We sought to identify specific anti-RV molecules based on DNAzyme technology as candidates to a clinical study. Met...

An international perspective on hospitalized patients with viral community-acquired pneumonia
...
Background: Who should be tested for viruses in patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP), prevalence and risk factors for viral CAP are still debated. We evaluated the frequency of viral testing, virus prevalence, risk factors and treatment coverage with oseltamivir in patients admitted for CAP. Methods: Secondary analysis of GLIMP, an inte...

Timescales of influenza A/H3N2 antibody dynamics
Human immunity influences the evolution and impact of influenza strains. Because individuals are infected with multiple influenza strains during their lifetime, and each virus can generate a cross-reactive antibody response, it is challenging to quantify the processes that shape observed immune responses or to reliably detect recent infection from ...
Live poultry trading drives China's H7N9 viral evolution and geographical network propagation
The on-going reassortment, human-adapted mutations, and spillover events of novel A(H7N9) avian influenza viruses pose a significant challenge to public health in China and globally. However, our understanding of the factors that disseminate the viruses and drive their geographic distributions is limited. We applied phylogenic analysis to examine t...
Identification of a torradovirus-encoded protein that complements the systemic movement of a potexvirus lacking the TGB3...
Cassava torrado-like virus (CsTLV, Family Secoviridae) is found in mixed virus infections associated with severe disease symptoms in leaves and roots of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz, Euphorbiaceae), which is an important staple food crop for Africa, Asia and Latin America. The virus has been reported in Colombia, Peru and Argentina, where it h...
