Interactions of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) with major histocompatibility
complex (MHC) class I ligands diversify natural killer cell responses to infection. By analyzing …

Genomic sequencing is essential to track the evolution and spread of SARS-CoV-2, optimize

Abstract Changes in Dengue virus (DENV) disease patterns in the Americas over recent
decades have been attributed, at least in part, to repeated introduction of DENV strains from …

Yellow fever virus (YFV) is historically one of the most important viruses to affect human

Dengue virus type 4 (DENV-4) was first reported in the Americas in 1981, where it caused
epidemics of dengue fever throughout the region. In the same year, the region's first epidemic …

Natural killer (NK) cells contribute to the essential functions of innate immunity and reproduction.
Various genes encode NK cell receptors that recognize the major histocompatibility …

Recent reports indicate that flaviviruses similar to the cell fusing agent virus (CFAV) naturally
infect a wide variety of mosquito species. These newly recognized insect-specific viruses …

Bat coronaviruses (Bt-CoVs) are thought to be the precursors of severe acute respiratory
