    Multimeric single-domain antibody complexes protect against bunyavirus infections

    Paul J Wichgers Schreur, Sandra van de Water ... Jeroen Kortekaas
    Llama-derived single-domain antibodies, formatted as bispecific antibodies with human Fc domains, reduce and prevent bunyavirus-induced morbidity and mortality in mice upon prophylactic and therapeutic administration.

    Rift Valley fever phlebovirus NSs protein core domain structure suggests molecular basis for nuclear filaments

    Michal Barski, Benjamin Brennan ... Ulrich Schwarz-Linek
    Insight into the molecular assembly of a protein with a central role in infections paves the way to understanding how Rift Valley fever virus causes disease.

    High resolution cryo-EM structure of the helical RNA-bound Hantaan virus nucleocapsid reveals its assembly mechanisms

    Benoît Arragain, Juan Reguera ... Hélène Malet
    Hantaan virus nucleocapsid cryo-EM structure determined at 3.3 Å resolution reveals how nucleoproteins assemble into a metastable helix containing a continuous RNA-binding groove compatible with genome encapsidation and compaction.

    Antigenic mapping and functional characterization of human New World hantavirus neutralizing antibodies

    Taylor B Engdahl, Elad Binshtein ... James E Crowe
    Human antibodies that neutralize New World hantaviruses are promising for prevention or treatment of these high-priority emerging pathogens carried by rodents and transmitted to humans by aerosolized excreta or, in rare cases, person-to-person contact.

    Mosquito community composition shapes virus prevalence patterns along anthropogenic disturbance gradients

    Kyra Hermanns, Marco Marklewitz ... Sandra Junglen
    Analysis of naturally infected mosquitoes shows that ecosystem disturbance can lead to a turnover in host community composition and that more individuals of a single species are a key driver of virus emergence.

    The near-atomic cryoEM structure of a flexible filamentous plant virus shows homology of its coat protein with nucleoproteins of animal viruses

    Xabier Agirrezabala, Eduardo Méndez-López ... Mikel Valle
    The high-resolution structure of a filamentous flexible plant virus shows that there is structural homology between its coat protein and the nucleoproteins of an unrelated group of enveloped RNA animal viruses.

    Single mosquito metatranscriptomics identifies vectors, emerging pathogens and reservoirs in one assay

    Joshua Batson, Gytis Dudas ... Hanna Retallack
    How large-scale single mosquito metatranscriptomics can define the mosquito’s complex microbiota and its blood meal sources, and contribute critical epidemiological information needed to control vector borne disease transmission, is shown.

    Favipiravir elicits antiviral mutagenesis during virus replication in vivo

    Armando Arias, Lucy Thorne, Ian Goodfellow
    Favipiravir, a novel nucleoside analogue, can clear a persistent norovirus infection in vivo through lethal mutagenesis.

    Multi-omics insights into host-viral response and pathogenesis in Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever viruses for novel therapeutic target

    Ujjwal Neogi, Nazif Elaldi ... Ali Mirazimi
    The interplay of the host metabolic reprogramming, its negative association with antiviral biological signaling pathways and the IFN-mediated host antiviral mechanism during Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever orthonairovirus (CCHFV) infection could provide attractive options for therapeutic intervention of CCHF.

    MxB sensitivity of HIV-1 is determined by a highly variable and dynamic capsid surface

    Richard J Miles, Claire Kerridge ... Greg J Towers
    Conformational flexibility in HIV-1 capsid, provided by cyclophilin A binding, facilitates evasion of capsid-targeting restriction factor MxB, while allowing sequence change to facilitate cytotoxic T-cell evasion.
