Juan Carlos Navarro,Dileyvic Giambalvo,Rosa Hernandez,Albert J. Auguste,Robert B. Tesh,Scott C. Weaver,Humberto Montañez,Jonathan Liria,Anderson Lima,Jorge Fernando Soares Travassos da Rosa,Sandro Patroca da Silva,Janaina M. Vasconcelos,Rodrigo Santos de Oliveira,João L.S.G. Vianez,Márcio Roberto Teixeira Nunes +14 more
TL;DR: The isolation, complete genome sequence, genetic characterization, and phylogenetic analysis of an OROV species reassortant, Madre de Dios virus (MDDV), obtained from a sick monkey collected in a forest near Atapirire, a small rural village located in Anzoategui State, Venezuela.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a trans-complementation system that produces single-round infectious SARS-CoV-2 that recapitulates authentic viral replication is presented. But it does not produce wild-type SARS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic performance of commercial IgM and IgG enzyme-linked immunoassays (ELISAs) for diagnosis of Zika virus infection.

TL;DR: In a setting of endemic dengue transmission, the ZIKV IgM-ELISA had high specificity, but poor sensitivity, whereas the IgG- ELISA is more suitable for ZikV diagnosis among travelers, who reside in areas free of flavivirus transmission, rather than for serosurveys in denge-endemic areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stability of RNA virus attenuation approaches
Joan L. Kenney,Sara M. Volk,Sara M. Volk,Jyotsna Pandya,Eryu Wang,Xiaodong Liang,Scott C. Weaver +6 more
TL;DR: This work examines the stability of 3 attenuation strategies for the alphavirus, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, and suggests that the chimeric strain combines the initial attenuation of TC-83 with the greater phenotypic stability of V3526, highlighting the importance of the bothInitial attenuation and stability for live-attenuated vaccines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and genetic analysis of Panama-genotype Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus subtype ID in Peru.
TL;DR: The recent Iquitos VEE viral isolates were the first Panama-genotype VEE ID virus strains identified outside of the Republic of Panama, and were more closely related to Panamanian ID strains than to isolates previously obtained in Iquito, Peru, or in Colombia and Venezuela.
