Identification of natural antimicrobial peptides mimetic to inhibit Ca influx DDX3X activity for blocking dengue viral infectivity.

Viruses are microscopic biological entities that can quickly invade and multiply in a living organism. Each year, over 36,000 people die and nearly 400 million are infected with the dengue virus (DENV). Despite dengue being an endemic disease, no targeted and effective antiviral peptide resource is available against the dengue species.
