Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of Coronavirus Cell Entry Mediated by the Viral Spike Protein
TL;DR: This review discusses coronavirus entry mechanisms focusing on the different triggers used by coronaviruses to initiate the conformational change of the S protein: receptor binding, low pH exposure and proteolytic activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutation in spike protein cleavage site and pathogenesis of feline coronavirus.
Beth N. Licitra,Jean K. Millet,Andrew D. Regan,Brian S. Hamilton,Vera D. Rinaldi,Gerald E. Duhamel,Gary R. Whittaker +6 more
TL;DR: A functionally relevant S1/S2 mutation that arises when FIP develops in a cat is documented, which may be useful in development of diagnostic, prevention, and treatment measures against coronaviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Canine Enteric Coronaviruses: Emerging Viral Pathogens with Distinct Recombinant Spike Proteins
TL;DR: The increase in disease severity in dogs and the emergence of novel CCoVs can be attributed to the high level of recombination within the spike gene that can occur during infection by more than one CCoV type in the same host.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a recombinant canine coronavirus with a distinct receptor-binding (S1) domain.
Andrew D. Regan,Jean K. Millet,Longping V. Tse,Zach Chillag,Vera D. Rinaldi,Beth N. Licitra,Edward J. Dubovi,Christopher D. Town,Gary R. Whittaker +8 more
TL;DR: Genomic analysis and serological studies suggest that CCoV-A76 represents a recombinant coronavirus form, with distinct host cell tropism, that can use canine aminopeptidase N (cAPN) receptor for infection of cells, but was unable to use feline APN (fAPN).
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Dirofilaria immitis (Nematoda: Filarioidea) by polymerase chain reaction in Aedes albopictus, Anopheles punctipennis, and Anopheles crucians (Diptera: Culicidae) from Georgia, USA.
TL;DR: Potential mosquito vectors of Dirofilaria immitis (Leidy) (Nematoda: Filarioidea), the causative agent of dog heartworm in the southeastern region of the United States, were collected with CDC light traps and gravid traps in seven counties in the state of Georgia.
