Parvovirus is comprised of a single-stranded DNA structure, encompassing distinct structural and non-structural proteins. Structural proteins are referred as viral proteins, which facilitate for the viral capsid. Among non-structural proteins, NS1 is the most significant, exhibiting substantial characteristics related to viral replication, pathogenicity, and is notably recognized for its remarkable oncolytic properties.

Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) causes an acute and highly transmissible disease characterized by severe hemorrhagic enteritis and myocarditis, ultimately resulting in the death of dogs and wild carnivores. At present, although vaccines have been developed for CPV-2, there are no specific and effective vaccines available for prevention of CPV-2c infection. To develop mucosal vaccines against CPV-2c, we constructed recombinant Lactobacillus plantarum (L.

H9N2 influenza virus infections represent a significant respiratory health concern, yet the functional role of gut microbiota during infection progression remains poorly understood. Here, we show that H9N2 infection causes dose-dependent alterations in gut microbial communities in a mammalian infection model, particularly the depletion of Prevotella species. Prophylactic administration of Prevotella copri improved survival and clinical outcomes in infected mice by restructuring the gut microbiome, promoting beneficial bacteria, and suppressing pathogens.

Mucosal vaccines are powerful tools for combatting emerging infectious diseases, particularly mucosal-associated pathogens. However, one of the main bottlenecks in developing mucosal vaccines is the lack of accurate animal models. In this study, a vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-vectored Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) mucosal vaccine was designed for investigations.

The quality of rice is closely related to its planting mode. The rice produced in rice-crab co-cultivation fields often enjoy higher prices and consumption enthusiasm than traditional rice due to the use of fewer chemical inputs, making it a key target of commercial fraud. In this study, multi-element, stable isotope, metabolite analysis techniques were synergistically applied with chemometric methods to distinguish between crab-field rice and common rice.

KPT-335 (Verdinexor) is a novel, orally bioavailable selective inhibitor of nuclear export that has gained significant attention in pharmaceutical research due to its potential anti-tumor and antiviral effects. This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters and determine the absolute bioavailability of KPT-335 through various administration routes, including oral capsules and tablets, along with intravenous injections. The intravenous group received a dosage of 1 mg/kg body weight (BW), while capsules were administered orally at doses of 0.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection causes severe gastrointestinal and lethal disease in piglets, leading to huge economic losses for the swine industry worldwide. Recent studies have emphasized probiotics can regulate innate immunity and cellular functions through interaction with intestinal epithelial cells via extracellular vesicles (EVs) as effective carriers. The cGAS-STING signaling pathway is crucial for inducing type I interferons (IFNs) to establish antiviral innate immunity.

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is a significant enveloped virus within the Paramyxoviridae family, posing a major threat to the global poultry industry. Increasing evidence suggests that cholesterol-25-hydroxylase (CH25H) and its enzymatic product, 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC), exhibit broad-spectrum antiviral activity properties by modulating lipid metabolism and various signaling pathways. However, the specific role of CH25H in regulating NDV infection and replication remains unclear.

Multiview clustering (MVC) with contrastive learning (CL) has attracted considerable interest. Nevertheless, current methods have specific drawbacks since the coherence between views in them is limited either at the feature representation level or the cluster representation level. Besides, certain methods demonstrate subpar performance and limited robustness when handling noisy data.

Nitroxoline (NIT) has been approved for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) for more than half a century, yet its antimicrobial properties remain incompletely understood. Here, we determined the intricate connections between NIT's metal-chelating capabilities and its antibacterial activity. Metal ion binding characteristics were measured by Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy.

The application of pesticides may have significant impacts on soil environment and communities. In order to understand the deep relationship between the application of chlormequat chloride (CC) and the bacterial community in peanut soil, high-resolution characterization was performed using peanut soil samples (12 points; 0-20 cm rhizosphere soil) from untreated and sprayed with different concentrations of CC. Experimental data showed that with the increase of concentration, operational taxonomic units (OTUs) richness showed a decreasing tendency.

The global eradication of canine-mediated human rabies remains an ongoing public health priority. While conventional oral rabies vaccines (ORVs) have demonstrated partial success in interrupting zoonotic transmission, current formulations necessitate improvements in both immunogenic profiles and mechanistic clarity. Herein, we present a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-vectored vaccine candidate (rVSVΔG-ERA-G) engineered to express the glycoprotein of the rabies virus (RABV) ERA strain, substituting the native VSV glycoprotein.
