Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of the
most recent global pandemic that has caused more than a million deaths around the world…

Viral entry is the first stage in the virus replication cycle and, for enveloped viruses, is mediated
by virally encoded glycoproteins. Viral glycoproteins have different receptor affinities and …

Ebola virus (EBOV) attaches to target cells using two categories of cell surface receptors: C-type
lectins and phosphatidylserine (PS) receptors. PS receptors typically bind to apoptotic …

Ebola virus (EBOV) interacts with cells using two categories of cell surface receptors, C-type
lectins and phosphatidylserine (PS) receptors. PS receptors typically bind to apoptotic cell …

Since viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) viruses such as Lassa virus (LASV) and Ebolavirus (EBOV)
are classified as biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) pathogens, research with these viruses are …

T-cell immunoglobin and mucin domain protein-1 (TIM-1) mediates entry of Chikungunya virus
(CHIKV) into some mammalian cells through the interaction with envelope phospholipids. …

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is the causative agent of the human disease chikungunya fever,
characterized by debilitating acute and chronic arthralgia. No licensed vaccines or antivirals …

Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) receptor is an endosomal membrane protein that regulates
intracellular cholesterol traffic. This protein has been shown to play an important role for …

Experimental work on highly pathogenic viruses such as Ebola virus (EBOV) and severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 requires high-level biosafety facilities. Here, we …

Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus known to cause severe birth defects and
neuroimmunological disorders. We have previously demonstrated that mosquito transmission of Zika …
