  • Arenaviruses have been divided into 2 groups based on whether the virus is found to infect Old World (ie, Eastern Hemisphere) rodents (family Muridae, subfamily Murinae) or New World (ie, Western Hemisphere) rodents (family Muridae, subfamily Sigmodontinae). (medscape.com)
  • The New World arenaviruses are further divided into 3 lineages designated clades: A, B, C. LCM virus is the only arenavirus to exist in both areas but is classified as an Old World virus. (medscape.com)
  • A phylogenetic analysis of the genomes and sequences from other West African Ebola virus isolates suggest the flare-up strains are closely related to the Ebola virus sub-lineage LB2, which was circulating in Liberia previously, but not widely distributed in Guinea and Sierra Leone, the researchers reported.

  • [11] Not much is known about virus' motor-specific binding sites, but it is known that some viruses contain proline-rich sequences (that diverge between viruses) which, when removed, reduces dynactin binding, axon transport (in culture), and neuroinvasion in vivo. (wikipedia.org)
  • In 2016, 2018, and 2020, we organized international virology conferences, held in Basel, Switzerland (2016) and Barcelona, Spain (2018 and 2020), and we are currently planning the Viruses 2022 conference, to be held virtually. (mdpi.com)
  • We report crystal structures for full-length, glycosylated NS1 from West Nile and dengue viruses. (nih.gov)
  • In this study, the role of the His residue at position 39 in the M protein (M39) of dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) in the virus life cycle was investigated. (microbiologyresearch.org)
  • These replacements also led to production of infective viruses that replaced the acidic residues introduced (E) by nonpolar amino acids, indicating that preservation of the hydrophobic interface is essential for virus replication. (asm.org)
  • All are critical to one or another phase of assembly, maturation, or release of the virus. (nih.gov)
  • [ 6 ] These proteins are thought to neutralize the host's antiviral response by binding to cytokines and complement proteins and inhibiting their function. (medscape.com)
  • It is associated with a number of intracellular structures and implicated in diverse processes from occlusion body maturation to nuclear stability and lysis. (brookes.ac.uk)
