The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major human pathogen. Genetically related viruses in
animals suggest a zoonotic origin of HCV. The closest relative of HCV is found in horses (termed …

Background In the past decade, many new paramyxoviruses that do not belong to any of the
seven established genera in the family Paramyxoviridae have been discovered. Amongst …

As viral genomic imprints in host genomes, endogenous viral elements (EVEs) shed light on
the deep evolutionary history of viruses, ancestral host ranges, and ancient viral–host …

Here, we identified a novel class of compounds which demonstrated good antiviral activity
against dengue and Zika virus infection. These derivatives constitute intermediates in the …

The need to estimate divergence times in evolutionary histories in the presence of various
sources of substitution rate variation has stimulated a rich development of relaxed molecular …

We report here the complete genome sequence of ruloma virus, a novel paramyxovirus
detected in a Machangu’s brush-furred rat from Tanzania. Ruloma virus has the longest …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV; genus Hepacivirus) represents a major public health problem,
infecting about three per cent of the human population. Because no animal reservoir carrying …

Recent years have witnessed the discovery of several new viruses belonging to the family
Arteriviridae, expanding the known diversity and host range of this group of complex RNA …

Viruses are the cause of a considerable burden to human, animal and plant health, while on
the other hand playing an important role in regulating entire ecosystems. The power of new …

Echovirus 3 (E3) serotype has been related with several neurologic diseases, although it
constitutes one of the rarely isolated serotypes, with no report of epidemics in Europe. The aim …
