Immunization with V987H-stabilized Spike glycoprotein protects K18-hACE2 mice and golden Syrian hamsters upon SARS-CoV-2 infection
(Nature Research, 2024-03-21)
Safe and effective severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) vaccines are crucial to fight against the coronavirus disease 2019
pandemic. Most vaccines are based on a mutated version ...
Novel Spike-stabilized trimers with improved production protect K18-hACE2 mice and golden Syrian hamsters from the highly pathogenic SARS-CoV-2 Beta variant
(Frontiers Media, 2023-12-04)
Most COVID-19 vaccines are based on the SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein (S) or
their subunits. However, S shows some structural instability that limits its
immunogenicity and production, hampering the ...
A monoclonal antibody targeting a large surface of the receptor binding motif shows pan-neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 activity
(Nature Research, 2024-02-05)
Here we report the characterization of 17T2, a SARS-CoV-2 pan-neutralizing
human monoclonal antibody isolated from a COVID-19 convalescent individual infected during the first pandemic wave. 17T2 is a ...
Enhanced replication fitness of MERS-CoV clade B over clade A strains in camelids explains the dominance of clade B strains in the Arabian Peninsula
(Taylor & Francis Open Access, 2022-02-01)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) continues infecting humans and dromedary camels. While MERS-CoV strains from the Middle East region are subdivided into two clades (A and B), all ...
Pathogenesis and transmissibility of highly (H7N1) and low (H7N9) pathogenic avian influenza virus infection in red-legged partridge (Alectoris rufa)
(BMC, 2011-02-07)
An experimental infection with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) and low pathogenic avian influenza
virus (LPAIV) was carried out in red-legged partridges (Alectoris rufa) in order to ...
Pigs are not susceptible to SARS‐CoV‐2 infection but are a model for viral immunogenicity studies
(Wiley, 2020-10-02)
Conventional piglets were inoculated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) through different routes, including intranasal, intratracheal, intramuscular and intravenous ones. ...
β-Cyclodextrins as affordable antivirals to treat coronavirus infection
(Elsevier, 2023-06-08)
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic made evident that there are only a few drugs against coronavirus. Here we aimed to identify a cost-effective antiviral with broad spectrum activity and high safety profile. ...
The Role of Birds of Prey in West Nile Virus Epidemiology
(MDPI, 2020-09-21)
Reported human cases of West Nile virus (WNV) in Europe increased dramatically in
2018. Lineage 1 strains had been circulating in Euro-Mediterranean countries since the early 1990s.
The subsequent ...
Susceptibility of Domestic Goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) to Experimental Infection with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) B.1.351/Beta Variant
(MDPI, 2022-09-09)
A wide range of animal species are susceptible to the severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Natural and/or experimental infections have been reported in
pet, zoo, ...
Type I and III IFNs produced by the nasal epithelia and dimmed inflammation are features of alpacas resolving MERS-CoV infection
(Public Library of Science, 2021-05-24)
While MERS-CoV (Middle East respiratory syndrome Coronavirus) provokes a lethal disease in humans, camelids, the main virus reservoir, are asymptomatic carriers, suggesting a crucial role for innate ...
