The Hepatitis E virus (HEV) causes acute and chronic Hepatitis E and is a global public health concern. HEV genotypes 3 (HEV-3) and 4 (HEV-4) are common to humans and animals, and domestic pigs and wild boars have been identified as the main reservoirs. However, limited information is available on the status of HEV infection in pigs, particularly i...

Rotavirus (RV) is one of the most significant pathogens in humans and animals with diarrhea worldwide. Cell entry is the first step in viral infection, and the outer capsid protein VP4 is crucial for RV attachment and internalization. In order to discover novel candidate host factors involved in RV cell entry, a proximity labeling method was applie...

Type III interferons (IFNLs) have critical roles in the host's innate immune system, also serving as the first line against pathogenic infections of mucosal surfaces. In mammals, several IFNLs have been reported; however, only limited data on the repertoire of IFNLs in avian species is available. Previous studies showed only one member in chicken (...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has significantly affected international public health safety. It has been reported that the pathogen severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19, could originate from bats and utilize the Malayan pangolin (Manis javanica) as an intermediate host. To gain furth...

Influenza viruses often pose a serious threat to animals and human health. In an attempt to explore the potential of herbal medicine as a treatment for influenza virus infection, eleutheroside B1, a coumarin compound extracted from herba sarcandrae, was identified, which exhibited antiviral and anti‑inflammatory activities against influenza A virus...

We report here the complete genome sequence of the parainfluenza virus PIV5-GD18 strain, isolated from a wild Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica) in China in 2017. It was 15,246 nucleotides with four nucleotides substitutions, which resulted in four changes of amino acid that were found only in PIV5-GD18, which further broadens the PIV5 infection host...

Influenza A viruses of subtype H1N1 have been reported widely in pigs in China, associated with clinical disease. These mainly include classical swine H1N1, avian-like H1N1, and human-like H1N1 viruses. In this study, we reported a novel triple-reassortant H1N1 virus (A/swine/Guangdong/1/2010) containing genes from the classical swine (NP, NS), hum...

... In PL, the target protein is fused with TurboID, a biotinylated enzyme that can catalyze endogenous proteins in a proximitydependent manner, which can quickly and non-toxically label the protein interaction with the target protein or its proximal protein in just 10 min in the biotin-containing environment [12]. The high efficiency of TurboID has led to its application in the study of a variety of animal viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, hepatitis B virus (HBV), herpes virus, and rotavirus [7,[13][14][15]. ...
... one of the major domestic animals that have an important role in food security and socio-economic starting point (Das et al., 2022). AD caused by PRV is a common disease in many animals, especially in pigs (Zhao et al., 2023). AD is a devastating pig disease and an important viral disease in pigs all over the world, which is characterized by high incidence rate in piglets and reproductive problems in sows and boars (Pegu et al., 2016;Delva et al., 2022). ...
... It indicates that MRPS6 can activate various downstream components from IFN-b pathway. Considering that IRF-3 is the primary transcription factor for IFN-b [38], we investigated the impact of MRPS6 on IRF-3 in HIEC-6 cell. Overexpression of MRPS6 in HIEC-6 cells resulted in increased protein and mRNA levels of IRF-3 ( Figures 7G, H). ...
... This observation is supported by the fact that the total amount of antigen that was used for immunization was very low, 1.4 to 1.6 mg for RBD 318-543 , 0.8 mg for RBD 462-510 , and 0.35 mg for cCD20. Conventional doses for immunization contain between 20 and 100 mg of antigen mixed with adjuvant [32,[48][49][50]. Notably, the best antibody yield was achieved when the BALB/c mice were immunized with the construct displaying the cCD20 loop on the surface. ...
... Currently available vaccines stimulate the production of neutralizing antibodies (Abs) against viral surface proteins, particularly the receptor-binding domain (RBD), thereby preventing the virus from the receptor binding required for viral entry and in turn infection. Accordingly, spike (S) protein is a common target for coronavirus vaccine research, and SARS-CoV-2 S protein is also the target of available COVID-19 vaccines [2][3][4]. However, variants of SARS-CoV-2 have mutations in S proteins, including in the RBD region, which can reduce the efficacy of these vaccines [5]. ...
... For example, SARS--CoV-2 infected individuals may have higher blood glucose and fatty acid concentrations and abnormalities in amino acid metabolism [17]. In SARS-CoV-2-infected cells, viral nonstructural protein 14 (NSP14) promotes the succinylation of several key enzymes in the TCA cycle that interact with SIRT5, thereby inhibiting cellular metabolic pathways [18]. Rhinovirus infection rapidly enhances the expression of enzymes responsible for glucose utilization and uptake, leading to a highly anabolic state [19]. ...
... The raw sequencing reads were processed to obtain clean data using Soapnuke (v2.0.5) for further analysis [19]. Quality-filtered reads were then de novo assembled to generate the metagenome. ...
... Datasets supporting assembly of GD PCoV MP789 are also problematic. Two datasets, an amplicon dataset and dataset GZ1-2 were provided by Liu et al. (2021) in support of MP789 genome generation in addition to two samples from Liu et al. (2019). Dataset GZ1-2 had a very low Pangolin CoV MP789 read count, with only 16 reads with unique coverage, including 6 SNVs and a 6nt insert relative to MP789. ...
... Pangolins have recently gained attention as a potential host of emerging viral diseases after coronaviruses related to SARS-CoV-2 were reported in the Malayan pangolin [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Pangolins have also been recognized as hosts for other RNA viruses such as canine distemper virus (Paramyxoviridae), which is associated with respiratory, digestive and neurological illness in pangolins [11], flaviviruses, reoviruses, pneumoviruses and picornaviruses [12][13][14][15]. ...
