Picobirnavirus: how do you find where it’s hiding? Picobirnaviruses (PBVs) are double-stranded RNA viruses detected in various environments and host-associated samples, including those from humans, non-human animals, invertebrates and birds. First ...

Picobirnaviruses remain elusive, with unclear hosts and detection challenges. This review evaluates PCR, #metagenomics, and host inference strategies to clarify their biology and ecology.🔬🧬#Virology #RNAviruses #Bioinformatics

Host protein ARF1 is a proviral factor for SARS-CoV-2 and a candidate broad-spectrum therapeutic target - Nature Communications SARS-CoV-2 and its emerging variants pose continuing threats to public health. SARS-CoV-2 assembles at the ER–Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC), where the viral membrane (M) protein highly accumu...

Pathogenic #RNAviruses ie flaviviruses, #SARSCoV2 & influenza viruses frequently cause epidemics & pandemics due to the lack of effective vaccines or antiviral medications

Limited diversity of bat-associated RNA viruses in endangered and geographically isolated Christmas Island flying foxes Bats are commonly thought to harbour a high diversity and abundance of RNA viruses, some of which are able to jump species boundaries to emerge in new…

Paper out! To what extent are bats carriers of viruses, including harmful ones? Bats don’t always carry many viruses—Our research on Christmas Island flying-foxes revealed a limited diversity in their RNA virome. Huge thanks to all the authors! Check it out!

When you design a vaccine and by the time the paper comes out you’ve made three updated versions as the virus continues to evolve 😅 #influenza #RNAviruses
