  1. #Coronaviruses remodel host membranes for replication, but which pathways are involved? This study reveals #cholesterol transporter GRAMD1C as a host factor that promotes replication organelle formation and supports replication across multiple coronaviruses @PLOSBiology plos.io/3NQ4FGY

  2. Here’s why we don’t have a cold #vaccine. Yet.
    Technically, #colds are #infections that affect your nose and throat, causing symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and generally feeling like garbage. Unlike some other infections they aren’t defined by the specific #virus that causes them. That’s because there are a lot of viruses that cause colds, including #rhinoviruses, #adenoviruses, and even seasonal #coronaviruses

  3. #Antiviral properties of textiles must be carefully #tested in laboratory tests. The biological testing laboratory at #DITF has investigated the antiviral activities of #coronaviruses as part of a research project on infection protection textiles.

  4. Farmed #fur #animals harbour #viruses with #zoonotic #spillover potential, Nature: nature.com/articles/s41586-024

    We identified 7 species of #coronaviruses, expanding their known host range, & documented cross-species transmission of a novel #canine respiratory coronavirus to raccoon dogs & of #bat HKU5-like CoV to #mink, present at a high abundance in lung tissues. 3 subtypes of #influenza A virus—#H1N2, #H5N6 & #H6N2—were detected in #lungs of guinea pig, mink and #muskrat, respectively.

  5. Structural #determinants of #spike #infectivity in #bat #SARS-like #coronaviruses RsSHC014 and WIV1, J Virol.: journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1

    Through #mutagenesis and cryo-EM analysis, we revealed that besides the structural variations, the 623 site in the SD2 region is another important structural determinant of spike infectivity.

  10. Differential #prevalence and #risk factors for #infection with #coronaviruses in #bats collected during 2020 in #Yunnan Province, #China, BioRxIV, biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    Notably, 11 #SARS-related coronaviruses (SARSr-CoVs) were discovered in horseshoe #bats and a Chinese water myotis bat by pan-CoV detection and Illumina sequencing.

  11. #introduction
    Hi all. I'm just starting to explore mastadon. I'm a #diseaseecologist who studies #zoonotic #viruses in wildlife and how they #spillover into livestock and people. I work for a science-based nonprofit called EcoHealth Alliance. My research focuses on #bats and their associated #henipaviruses, #coronaviruses and #filoviruses in Asia and Africa.

  12. A fascinating article featuring Wuhan-based virologist Shi Zhengli who helped identify coronaviruses. But the main message is this: Outbreaks from viruses crossing species will always occur. It's better to spend a small, regular amount to set up and run a regular monitoring system now than to be walloped by a huge expenditure when (not if) it happens again.
