The expression of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) structural protein E2 in different vectors, which has been shown to carry critical epitopes, has been established. Here, we reported a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplast expression vector, P64E2, containing classical swine fever virus structural protein E2 gene, which was constructed and transferred to C. reinhardtii by biolistic bombardment method. The transformants were identified by PCR, Southern blotting, Western blotting after selecting on resistant media. ELISA quantification assay showed that the expressed E2 protein accumulated up to 1.5-2% of the total soluble protein. The results of the study on the immunological activity indicated that the protein E2 expressed in C. reinhardtii chloroplasts could elicit animal bodies to produce antibodies against protein E2.

Histone lysine lactylation (Kla) has recently been reported to participate in various biological processes, regulating transcription, inflammation, and immune-related diseases. However, the mechanism of histone Kla in innate immunity and viral infection remains largely unknown. Here, we observed fluorescent Kla signals in all four histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) in PK-15 cells.

Background: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a major threat to swine industry worldwide, especially virulent variants arising during the last years, such as Spanish PRRSV-1 Rosalia strain. The role of the nasal microbiota in respiratory viral infections is still to be unveiled but may be promisingly related with the health status of the animals and thus, their susceptibility. The goal of this project was to study the nasal microbiota composition of piglets during a highly virulent PRRSV-1 outbreak comparing animals that died due to the infection with animals that survived it.

A novel classical swine fever virus (CSFV) strain GNU-240601 was identified from a commercial live Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) vaccine. The whole-genome sequence of GNU-240601 shared the highest similarity with strains belonging to subgenotype 1.1.

Peccaries (collared peccary-CP-and white-lipped peccary-WLP) are an essential source of protein and income for rural communities in the Amazon region. Since 1980s, researchers in the Amazon have reported recurrent local disappearances of WLP populations. Although such disappearances impact the species conservation and the food security of rural societies, no studies have drawn consistent conclusions about the causes of these population collapses.

Some viruses can suppress superinfections of their host cells by related or different virus species. The phenomenon of superinfection exclusion can be caused by inhibiting virus attachment, receptor binding and entry, by replication interference, or competition for host cell resources. Blocking attachment and entry not only prevents unproductive double infections but also stops newly produced virions from re-entering the cell post-exocytosis.
