Infection of equine bronchial epithelial cells with a SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus

R. M. Legere, A. R. Allegro, Y. Affram, B. Petri da Silveira, J. L. Fridley, K. M. Wells, N. Oezguen, R. C. Burghardt, G. A. Wright, J. Pollet, A. I. Bordin, P. de Figueiredo, J. L. Leibowitz, N. D. Cohen

This study shows equine bronchial epithelial cells can be infected by a SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, but with lower efficiency than human cells, likely due to lower ACE2 expression.

Diverse pathogens activate the host RIDD pathway to subvert BLOS1-directed immune defense

K. M. Wells, K. He, A. Pandey, A. Cabello, D. Zhang, J. Yang, G. Gomez, Y. Liu, H. Chang, X. Li, H. Zhang, L. F. da Costa, R. Metz, C. D. Johnson, C. L. Martin, , P. de Figueiredo

This study shows that pathogens like Brucella and coronavirus MHV exploit the RIDD pathway to degrade BLOS1, impairing lysosomal trafficking and enhancing their intracellular survival.
