New research found that enveloped viruses harbor greater cross-species transmissibility and are more likely to cause zoonotic infections than nonenveloped viruses.

Alphaviruses are enveloped RNA viruses that cause disease in humans ranging from acute febrile illness with rash and arthritis to lethal encephalitis. Like many other mosquito-borne viruses, they ...

researchers find that LRP1/CD91 is a leading molecule in virus-host cell interactions that causes infection by many RNA viruses.

(+) RNA viruses are skilled masters of manipulating cellular proteins to complete essential steps of virus infection: (1) translation and replication of viral (+)RNA; (2) virus movement to adjacent ...
