Studies were conducted to determine whether encephalomyocarditis virus infection causes proteolytic cleavage of any of the polypeptides which comprise eucaryotic initiation factor 4F. Since no such alterations in the components of the initiation factor were detected, these observations confirmed that the mechanisms whereby encephalomyocarditis virus and poliovirus shut off host translation are different.

The NLRP3 inflammasome is a fundamental component of the innate immune system, yet its excessive activation is intricately associated with viral pathogenesis. Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus type 2 (PRRSV-2), belonging to the family Arteriviridae, triggers dysregulated cytokine release and interstitial pneumonia, which can quickly escalate to acute respiratory distress and death. However, a mechanistic understanding of PRRSV-2 progression remains unclear.

In RNA interference (RNAi), long double-stranded RNA is cleaved by the Dicer endonuclease into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), which guide degradation of complementary RNAs. While RNAi mediates antiviral innate immunity in plants and many invertebrates, vertebrates have adopted a sequence-independent response and their Dicer produces siRNAs inefficiently because it is adapted to process small hairpin microRNA precursors in the gene-regulating microRNA pathway. Mammalian endogenous RNAi is thus a rudimentary pathway of unclear significance.

In this study, a novel Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) reverse genetic operating system was developed utilizing CMV promoters, enabling EMCV genome expression under the transcriptional control of the CMV immediate early promoter and BGH polyA transcriptional-termination signal. The full-length cDNA of EMCV BJC3 was ligated to the pRK5 vector, incorporating the CMV eukaryotic promoter sequence, resulting in the construction of recombinant plasmid EMCV (pEMCV). Subsequently, the recombinant plasmid was transfected into BHK-21 cells to generate the rescue virus.

Live herpesvirus-vectored vaccines are critical in veterinary medicine, but they can sometimes offer insufficient protection due to suboptimal antigen expression or localization. Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) is a significant zoonotic threat, with VP1 protein as a key immunogen on its capsid. To enhance immunogenicity, we explored the use of recombinant pseudorabies virus (rPRV) as a vaccine vector against EMCV.

Medium-chain antimicrobial lipids are promising antiviral agents to inhibit membrane-enveloped viruses such as African swine fever virus (ASFV) and influenza A virus (IAV) in livestock applications. However, current uses are limited to feed pathogen mitigation due to low aqueous solubility and the development of water-dispersible lipid formulations is needed for broader application usage. In this study, we report a water-dispersible antimicrobial lipid mixture of monoglycerides and lactylates that can inhibit ASFV and IAV and exhibits antiviral properties in drinking water and feed matrices.
