Article Abstract

Following recent reports of norovirus replication in salivary gland cells, we examined whether the prototype norovirus strain, Norwalk virus (GI.1), could be detected in the saliva of 21 experimentally infected persons. Viral RNA was not detected in saliva 2 and 7 days after challenge despite high levels being present in feces.

Several studies have investigated the incidence of chronic diseases among Adventists, but less is known about the association between the prevalence of infectious diseases and the Adventist lifestyle. This systematic review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and has been registered on PROSPERO under CRD42024502363. Relevant studies were searched in databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus.

Human norovirus (HuNoV) causes acute gastroenteritis in immunocompetent hosts and chronic infection in immunocompromised individuals. Many recent studies of replication and innate immune responses following HuNoV infection have utilized epithelium-only human intestinal enteroids (HIEs), which lack immune cells. Here, we utilized an enteroid-macrophage coculture model consisting of HIEs and different subtypes of human peripheral blood mononuclear cell-derived macrophages to better recapitulate gut biology and explore the role of macrophages in HuNoV replication and pathogenesis.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections in children worldwide, while human noroviruses (HuNoV) are a leading cause of epidemic and sporadic acute gastroenteritis. Generating full-length genome sequences for these viruses is crucial for understanding viral diversity and tracking emerging variants. However, obtaining high-quality sequencing data is often challenging due to viral strain variability, quality, and low titers.

Chronic hepatitis delta virus (HDV) represents a rare but important co-infection in approximately 5% of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality due to an increased risk for liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma relative to HBV monoinfected individuals. The current treatment of chronic HDV infection includes the off-label use of pegylated interferon (IFN), which is limited by poor safety, tolerability, and efficacy. Guidelines of the major international liver organizations such as the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, European Association for the Study of the Liver, and Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver provide recommendations for contemporary diagnosis and management of chronic HDV infection, including the incorporation of bulevirtide, a newly licensed antiviral agent in Europe.
