Analysis of West Nile disease convalescents identifies human monoclonal antibodies protective against West Nile and related orthoflaviviruses
Keywords West Nile virus Japanese encephalitis serocomplex orthoflaviviruses neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies envelope domain III autoantibodies type I interferon Introduction West Nile virus (WNV; Orthoflavivirus nilense) is one of many orthoflaviviruses (genus Orthoflavivirus) transmitted by Culex spp.
Milk Modulates the Gastrointestinal Stability of Tick‐Borne Encephalitis Virus: Implications for Alimentary Transmission
1 Introduction Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV; Orthoflavivirus encephalitidis) is an enveloped, positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Orthoflavivirus genus within the Flaviviridae family [1, 2]. It is the causative agent of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), a viral disease that primarily affects the central nervous system in humans and is endemic to large parts of Europe and Asia [1].

Editorial for the Special Issue: “Tick-Borne Encephalitis”
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a disease caused by the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV). It may be asymptomatic or often limited to a febrile illness, but can also lead to very aggressive neurological sequelae []. The disease is widespread in forested areas of Europe and northeast Asia []. Humans are usually infected through the bite of a TBEV-infected tick, but alimentary infection after consumption of unpasteurized milk or milk products from infected ruminants is also possible [].
The structural model of Zika virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase in complex with RNA for rational design of novel nucleotide inhibitors
The ZIKV RdRp:RNA model employed in hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations was derived from the ZIKV RdRp (PDB ID 5TFR) and HCV (PDB ID 4WTD) crystal structures because no flaviviral RdRp was so far crystallized in complex with RNA. The two structures were superimposed using the Measures of Structural Similarity algorithm28 as implemented in the Chimera58.
