Objective: Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a significant pathogen causing quality loss in spinach. Although host genetic resistance is the primary method of managing CMV infection in this crop, CMV resistance genes are not widely utilized in spinach breeding programs as the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying resistance are not yet fully understood. CMV infections were therefore studied in different lines of spinach plants, and their progeny, to develop a model of the genetic basis of CMV resistance.
Results: Visual observations and RT-PCR assays revealed that three monoecious lines (03-258, 03-263, and 03-336) were susceptible to CMV, while three traditional resistant cultivars and a near-isogenic line (NIL-M) exhibited resistance. A dioecious line (03-009) consisted of susceptible and resistant plants. Notably, resistant plants did not exhibit the lesions typical of the hypersensitive response. Genetic analysis of progeny from the cross NIL-M × 03-336 indicated that a single dominant allele (designated SRCm1, standing for Spinach Resistance to CMV 1) controlled CMV resistance; analysis of sib-cross progeny populations derived from line 03-009 supported this conclusion. These results offer a valuable model for CMV resistance in spinach and will enhance future breeding programs.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection poses significant challenges in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, impacting graft outcomes, morbidity, and in some cases survival. The ESOT CMV Workshop 2023 convened European experts to discuss current practices and advances in the management of CMV with the aim of improving the quality of life of transplant recipients. Discussions covered crucial areas such as preventive strategies, diagnostic challenges, therapeutic approaches, and the role of cell-mediated immunity (CMI) monitoring.

Despite the clinical success of redirected T cells in the setting of cancer adoptive cell immunotherapy, patients may exhibit resistance to treatment, resulting in uncontrolled disease and relapses. This phenomenon partly relies on impaired -produced T cell metabolic fitness, including a decreased respiratory reserve, as well as a greater sensitivity to tumor-mediated metabolic stress. To improve the respiratory capacity of cultured T cells, we sought to target the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide/sirtuine-1/reactive oxygen species (ROS) axis through supplementation of culture medium with resveratrol.

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a destructive viral pathogen of vegetables, fruits, grains, and ornamentals across the globe. This study investigated the comparative antiviral efficacy of chitosan-salicylic acid nanocomposite (Ch/SA NC) and salicylic acid (SA) against CMV in cucumber plants. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses revealed that Ch/SA NCs can aggregate on the viral coat protein surface, suggesting direct nanoparticle-virus interaction.

Purpose: Pneumonia is common in ICU patients with neurological dysfunction, but differences in pulmonary pathogen distribution in this population remain unclear. This study aimed to compare pathogen profiles, clinical features, and outcomes between ICU patients with and without neurological dysfunction.
Methods: This regional multicenter retrospective study included adult patients with severe pneumonia admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in 11 hospitals across Zhejiang and Henan Provinces in mainland China between December 2018 and November 2023.

Whether ganciclovir-resistant cytomegalovirus (ganR-CMV) can establish latency and reactivate absent any selective drug pressure is unknown and has implications for selecting empiric antiviral therapy in patients with prior ganR-CMV. A CMV-seronegative patient underwent bilateral lung transplant from a CMV-seropositive donor and developed biopsy-confirmed CMV colitis with ganR-CMV (UL97 genotype: M460I, A594E; UL54 genotype: F412L, E756D) four years post-transplant despite prolonged valganciclovir prophylaxis. Foscarnet therapy led to CMV DNAemia clearance and disease resolution.
