SFTSV NSs protein is a novel tick antiviral RNAi response suppressor
Mazigh Fares, Melanie McFarlane, Rhys H. Parry…·Benjamin Brennan
This study shows that SFTSV NSs protein is essential for viral replication in tick cells by suppressing the tick's RNAi response through depletion of virus-derived siRNAs.

Uukuniemi virus infection causes a pervasive remodelling of the RNA-binding proteome in tick cell cultures
Alexandra Wilson, Wael Kamel, Kelsey Davies…·Benjamin Brennan
This study identifies 283 RNA-binding proteins whose activity changes in tick cells infected with Uukuniemi virus, revealing new host-virus interactions and a method to silence gene expression in tick cultures.
