The fifth annual meeting of the Williamsburg BioProcessing Foundation, now renamed as Viral Vectors and Vaccines, attracted over 200 attendees. Besides the regular roster of speakers, the meeting featured 36 vendor booths, a whole morning devoted to 30-min vendor presentations and several posters. The extensive use of adenovirus (Ad) in gene therapy was evident from the number of talks on the subject.

BackgroundCrimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a severe illness characterised by fever, bleeding and high case-fatality rates. The disease is caused by CCHF virus (CCHFV), transmitted by ticks and infectious body fluids and tissues.AimAfter CCHF was diagnosed in three persons in 2023, we aimed to investigate the presence of antibodies against CCHFV in healthcare workers (HCW), sheep and goats, and of CCHFV in ticks, in an area in North Macedonia and characterise virus strains.

The development of clinical candidates that modify the natural progression of sporadic Parkinson's disease and related synucleinopathies is a praiseworthy endeavor, but extremely challenging. Therapeutic candidates that were successful in preclinical Parkinson's disease animal models have repeatedly failed when tested in clinical trials. While these failures have many possible explanations, it is perhaps time to recognize that the problem lies with the animal models rather than the putative candidate.

Background: Virus infection and herbivory can alter the expression of stress-responsive genes in plants. This study employed high-throughput transcriptomic and alternative splicing analysis to understand the separate and combined impacts on host gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana by Myzus persicae (green peach aphid), and turnip mosaic virus (TuMV).
Results: By investigating changes in transcript abundance, the data shows that aphids feeding on virus infected plants intensify the number of differentially expressed stress responsive genes compared to challenge by individual stressors.

Transmission of Zika virus (ZIKV) has been reported in 92 countries and the geographical spread of invasive virus-borne vectors has increased in recent years. Arboviruses naturally survive between vertebrate hosts and arthropod vectors. Transmission success requires the mosquito to feed on viraemic hosts.

Transmission electron microscopy has become a standard characterization tool for adeno-associated virus-based gene therapy products. However, cost and expertise requirements place in-house traditional transmission electron microscope systems out of reach for many companies in the field. Recently developed low voltage electron microscopes can fulfill many of the needs for adeno-associated virus characterization at a fraction of the cost.
