Persistent Japanese encephalitis virus infection in fetuses of an amplifying pig host affects virus genetic heterogeneity and drives transcriptional footprints in offspring

This study shows that JEV infection in pig fetuses leads to genetic diversity in the virus and transcriptional changes in offspring, suggesting potential for onward transmission and long-term health impacts.

Infectious subgenomic amplicon strategies for Japanese encephalitis and West Nile viruses

This paper validates modified ISA strategies for producing synthetic JEV and WNV DNA fragments, enabling efficient and bacteria-free synthesis of flaviviruses.

Endogenous ZAP is associated with altered Zika virus infection phenotype

This study shows that endogenous ZAP inhibits Zika virus in Vero cells without requiring a type I IFN response and alters global gene expression during infection.

Endogenous ZAP affects Zika virus RNA interactome

The paper uses ChIRP-MS to identify ZAP-dependent and -independent cellular proteins interacting with Zika virus RNA, revealing potential ZAP co-factors for antiviral activity.
