From antibiotic to antiviral: computational screening reveals a multi-targeting antibiotic from Streptomyces spp. against Nipah virus fusion proteins.

Nipah Virus is a re-emerging zoonotic paramyxovirus that poses a significant threat to both swine industry and human health. The pursuit of potential antiviral agents with both preventive and therapeutic properties holds promise for targeting such viruses. To expedite this search, leveraging computational biology is essential.

Nipah virus (NiV) remains a significant global concern due to its impact on both the agricultural industry and human health, resulting in substantial economic and health consequences. Currently, there is no cure or commercially available vaccine for the virus. Therefore, it is crucial to prioritize the discovery of new and effective treatment options to prevent its continued spread.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) has emerged as a serious threat to the pork industry resulting in significant economic losses and heightened concerns about food security. With no known cure presently available, existing control measures center on animal quarantine and culling. Considering the severity and challenges posed by ASFV, it is imperative to discover new treatment strategies and implement additional measures to prevent its further spread.
