Background: Nucleic acid detection represents limitations due to its false-negative rate and technical complexity in the COVID-19 pandemic. Anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibody tests are widely spread all over the world presently. However, there is no report on the effectiveness of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing methods in China.
Methods: We gathered 10776 serum samples from close contacts of the SARS-CoV-2 infections in Fujian of China and used 2 chemiluminescence immunoassays (Wantai Bio., Yahuilong Bio.) and 2 lateral flow immunoassays (Lizhu Bio. and Dongfang Bio.) to perform the anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests in China.
Results: The 4 antibody tests have great diagnostic value for infected or uninfected, especially in the neutralizing antibodies tests, the AUC can reach 0.939 (Wantai Bio.) and 0.916 (Yahuilong Bio.). Furthermore, we used pseudoviruses and euvirus neutralization assay to validate the effectiveness of these antibody test, the results of pseudoviruses neutralization assay or euvirus neutralization assay shows a considerable correlation with the 4 antibody detection respectively, particularly in euvirus neutralization assay, neutralizing antibodies detected by Wantai Bio. or Yahuilong Bio., the correlation can get the level of 0.93 or 0.82.
Conclusions: The findings of this study demonstrate that the detections of antibodies have profound value in the diagnosis of COVID-19.

Introduction: The Zika virus (ZIKV) envelope (E) protein is critical for viral replication and host interactions. Although glycosylation of the E protein is known to influence viral infectivity and immune evasion, the specific functional roles of E protein glycosylation in ZIKV infectivity in mosquito cells remain unclear.
Methods: In this study, we generated a deglycosylation mutant ZIKV with a T156I substitution in the E protein and investigated its effects on viral replication and viral-host interactions in mosquito C6/36 cells.

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a viral disease that affects livestock and is caused by the lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). An outbreak of LSD in any country can lead to acute economic damage for livestock owners. The significance of prompt and accurate diagnosis in managing this viral disease cannot be overstated.

Dengue virus (DENV) is an important arthropod-borne virus that poses a global health threat, with half of the world's population at risk of infection. Currently, there is a lack of safe and effective vaccines for its prevention. Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) occurs when cross-reactive antibodies fail to neutralize heterologous DENV serotypes effectively, facilitating viral entry into Fc receptor-bearing cells and leading to more severe disease.

Case History: In 2023, 160/245 (65%) 2-year-old KiwiCross dairy heifers from a seasonally calving Otago herd developed severe granular vulvovaginitis after calving.
Clinical Findings: Affected heifers presented 3-12 days post-calving with tail elevation, vaginal discharge and, in most cases, vulval swelling. Heifers were afebrile although some were inappetent.

Background: Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is a prominent non-polio enterovirus known to cause severe respiratory infections and poliomyelitis-like illnesses in children. Recently, we identified MFSD6 as a receptor for EV-D68, providing a potential target for blocking viral entry into cells. This study aimed to develop an MFSD6-based decoy receptor to neutralise EV-D68 and elucidate its mechanism of action.
