Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Carla Weisend"
- Carla Weisend's recent research primarily focuses on developing high-throughput antiviral screening systems and evaluating the efficacy of disinfectants against emerging viruses, particularly orthomyxoviruses like Bourbon virus and SARS-CoV-2, highlighting the urgent need for effective treatment and prevention strategies.
- Her studies emphasize the importance of layered approaches in mitigating viral transmission, as demonstrated by her findings on disinfectant effectiveness on surfaces to reduce the viability and replication of SARS-CoV-2, indicating a need for comprehensive public health measures.
- Weisend has also explored the pathogenesis of tick-borne viruses such as the severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus and bandaviruses, leveraging innovative minigenome systems to identify novel antiviral compounds, thus contributing to a deeper understanding of these emerging infectious diseases.
