Virology, Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Control of COVID-19
Tập 12 Số 4 - Trang 372
The outbreak of emerging severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19) in China has been brought to global attention
and declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11,
2020. Scientific advancements since the pandemic of severe acute respiratory
syndrome (SARS) in 2002~2003 and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in 2012
have accelerate...
From SARS to MERS, Thrusting Coronaviruses into the Spotlight
Tập 11 Số 1 - Trang 59
Coronaviruses (CoVs) have formerly been regarded as relatively harmless
respiratory pathogens to humans. However, two outbreaks of severe respiratory
tract infection, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus
(SARS-CoV) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), as a
result of zoonotic CoVs crossing the species barrier, caused high pathogenicity
and mortalit...
Human Coronaviruses and Other Respiratory Viruses: Underestimated Opportunistic Pathogens of the Central Nervous System?
Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 14
Respiratory viruses infect the human upper respiratory tract, mostly causing
mild diseases. However, in vulnerable populations, such as newborns, infants,
the elderly and immune-compromised individuals, these opportunistic pathogens
can also affect the lower respiratory tract, causing a more severe disease
(e.g., pneumonia). Respiratory viruses can also exacerbate asthma and lead to
various types ...
Potential Maternal and Infant Outcomes from Coronavirus 2019-nCoV (SARS-CoV-2) Infecting Pregnant Women: Lessons from SARS, MERS, and Other Human Coronavirus Infections
Tập 12 Số 2 - Trang 194
In early December 2019 a cluster of cases of pneumonia of unknown cause was
identified in Wuhan, a city of 11 million persons in the People’s Republic of
China. Further investigation revealed these cases to result from infection with
a newly identified coronavirus, initially termed 2019-nCoV and subsequently
SARS-CoV-2. The infection moved rapidly through China, spread to Thailand and
Japan, exten...
Monkeypox Virus in Nigeria: Infection Biology, Epidemiology, and Evolution
Tập 12 Số 11 - Trang 1257
Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease caused by monkeypox virus (MPXV), which is a
member of orthopoxvirus genus. The reemergence of MPXV in 2017 (at Bayelsa
state) after 39 years of no reported case in Nigeria, and the export of
travelers’ monkeypox (MPX) from Nigeria to other parts of the world, in 2018 and
2019, respectively, have raised concern that MPXV may have emerged to occupy the
ecological and...
Human Coronaviruses: Insights into Environmental Resistance and Its Influence on the Development of New Antiseptic Strategies
Tập 4 Số 11 - Trang 3044-3068
The Coronaviridae family, an enveloped RNA virus family, and, more particularly,
human coronaviruses (HCoV), were historically known to be responsible for a
large portion of common colds and other upper respiratory tract infections. HCoV
are now known to be involved in more serious respiratory diseases, i.e.
bronchitis, bronchiolitis or pneumonia, especially in young children and
neonates, elderly...
Viruses and Autoimmunity: A Review on the Potential Interaction and Molecular Mechanisms
Tập 11 Số 8 - Trang 762
For a long time, viruses have been shown to modify the clinical picture of
several autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes (T1D), systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjögren’s syndrome (SS),
herpetic stromal keratitis (HSK), celiac disease (CD), and multiple sclerosis
(MS). Best examples of viral infections that have been proposed to modulate the
induction and dev...
Redox Biology of Respiratory Viral Infections
Tập 10 Số 8 - Trang 392
Respiratory viruses cause infections of the upper or lower respiratory tract and
they are responsible for the common cold—the most prevalent disease in the
world. In many cases the common cold results in severe illness due to
complications, such as fever or pneumonia. Children, old people, and
immunosuppressed patients are at the highest risk and require fast diagnosis and
therapeutic intervention...
Historical Perspective, Development and Applications of Next-Generation Sequencing in Plant Virology
Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 106-136
Next-generation high throughput sequencing technologies became available at the
onset of the 21st century. They provide a highly efficient, rapid, and low cost
DNA sequencing platform beyond the reach of the standard and traditional DNA
sequencing technologies developed in the late 1970s. They are continually
improved to become faster, more efficient and cheaper. They have been used in
many fields...
Poxvirus Cell Entry: How Many Proteins Does it Take?
Tập 4 Số 5 - Trang 688-707
For many viruses, one or two proteins enable cell binding, membrane fusion and
entry. The large number of proteins employed by poxviruses is unprecedented and
may be related to their ability to infect a wide range of cells. There are two
main infectious forms of vaccinia virus, the prototype poxvirus: the mature
virion (MV), which has a single membrane, and the extracellular enveloped virion
(EV),...
