Article Synopsis
  • - We found rat hepatitis E virus (HEV) RNA in pigs raised on farms in Spain.
  • - This suggests that pigs could catch rat HEV and potentially transmit it to humans, acting as a link between rodents and people.
  • - Europe needs to check how common rat HEV is in farmed pigs to understand the possible health risks to the public.

The establishment of a virus infection is the result of the pathogen's ability to replicate in a hostile environment generated by the host's immune system. Here, we found that ISG15 restricts Dengue and Zika viruses' replication through the stabilization of its binding partner USP18. ISG15 expression was necessary to control DV replication driven by both autocrine and paracrine type one interferon (IFN-I) signaling.

(HEV) is an important emerging zoonotic virus in Europe. Although domestic pigs and wild boar are the main reservoirs of this pathogen, susceptibility to this virus has been confirmed in a growing number of animal species, including equines. However, their role in the epidemiology of this virus remains poorly understood.

Background: Zika virus (ZIKV) infection can result in hearing loss in babies, consequently, audiological monitoring is necessary.

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of hearing impairment in neonates and children exposed to ZIKV during the intrauterine period.

Materials And Methods: A cohort of 30 children born to mothers infected with ZIKV during pregnancy (March 2016-January 2017) underwent repeated hearing assessments performed 48 h after birth.
