Unraveling human, rodent and snake Kolmioviridae replication to anticipate cross-species transmission

This study compares the replication of three Kolmioviridae viruses in vitro and in vivo, revealing differences in host range and replication efficiency.

Reptarenavirus Co- and Superinfection in Cell Culture Sheds Light on the S and L Segment Accumulation in Captive Snakes

This study investigates reptarenavirus co- and superinfection in cell cultures, finding no competition between closely related viruses but reduced replication of closely related segments in persistently infected cells.

Neuropilin-1 facilitates SARS-CoV-2 cell entry and provides a possible pathway into the central nervous system

This study shows that neuropilin-1 enhances SARS-CoV-2 infectivity and facilitates viral entry into the central nervous system via the olfactory pathway.

Experimental Reptarenavirus Infection of Boa constrictor and Python regius

This study experimentally infects pythons and boas with reptarenavirus via different routes, finding infection without inclusion bodies and suggesting other factors contribute to BIBD pathogenesis.

Identification of Reptarenaviruses, Hartmaniviruses and a Novel Chuvirus in Captive Brazilian Native Boa Constrictors with Boid Inclusion Body Disease

The paper identifies novel reptarenaviruses, hartmaniviruses, and a chuvirus in Brazilian captive boas with Boid Inclusion Body Disease using metatranscriptomic analysis.

Snake deltavirus utilizes envelope proteins of different viruses to generate infectious particles

This study shows snake deltavirus can use various helper viruses or viral glycoproteins to generate infectious particles, expanding the known range of helper viruses beyond hepatitis B virus.

Identification of a novel deltavirus in Boa constrictor

The paper identifies a novel deltavirus, sHDV, in Boa constrictor, showing it replicates independently of HBV and spreads via vertical and horizontal transmission.
