A nanoluciferase-expressing attenuated CHIKV vaccine strain enables rapid and visual drug screening in vitro and in vivo

ABSTRACT Climate change has expanded the range of vectors for the chikungunya virus (CHIKV), thereby increasing its global threat. This situation underscores the urgent need for antiviral therapies. However, the development of drugs is limited by the need for Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) containment and the lack of tools...

A feline coronavirus nucleocapsid protein disrupts ZC3HAV1–viral RNA association to counteract host RNA-level restriction

A previously unrecognized mechanism by which a highly pathogenic feline coronavirus circumvents host RNA restriction is revealed and new insight is provided into FIPV–host interactions that may inform future studies of RNA-level counter-restriction mechanisms in other animal and human coronaviruses.
