Nonetheless, it is strongly believed that commensurate preparedness and early detection and smart management of co-infections, especially in the developing communities’ remains key and paramount, if the fight must be moved to the next level of robust health care priority outcome. However, there seems to be practical evidence of scarcity of information and probably dearth of robust reliable data in the region, thus this present study investigated viral mono and co-infections (dual and triple) among selected subjects in some selected facilities. Nonetheless, this observational cross sectional study recruited 3,062 subjects, with about 250 from a cohort of HIV subjects. Laboratory diagnosis involved sequential testing using both qualitative (MP rapid kits and ELISA) and quantitative (Molecular-primer design q16 real-time PCR). Nevertheless, Gpower version 3.2 was used to estimate the sample size, even as the qualitative and quantitative data analysis involved the use of frequency and percentage outcome for descriptive analysis, while Chi square, correlation for association and odd ratio were explored using SPSS version 21, even as hypothesis were tested at 0.05 significant level. Significant difference was observed between the mono and coinfection rates; education, marital status and body mass index also showed evidence of significance (p<0.05) with chi square. Furthermore, exposure to most risk factors appeared small and general low sero-prevalence. Moreover, low incidence rates of 2.8% and 2.4% for Hepatitis B and C were observed respectively. Most risk factors correlated with viral infection. Further risk estimate using odd ratio showed two or more-fold increase for the exposed, although low disease frequency was reported here, but a retrospective review from this region showed much lower rate meaning, there is a progressive disease frequency transition therefore; care must be taken including adherence to the universal safe practices and precautionary measures. However, vaccination against Hepatitis infection as a preventive measure and its compulsory incorporation in the HIV management procedure must be strongly underpinned in the region, if we must check and manage the increasing trend in our remote communities in good time.","PeriodicalId":15020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Antivirals & Antiretrovirals","volume":"63 1 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84741253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and methods: A retrospective study was performed among 377 patients with dual co-infection TB/HIV between January 2015 and December 2016. TB diagnoses were based on clinical symptoms, sputum microscopy, and radiological analyses. The patients were diagnosed as HIV seropositive by ELISA and by Western blot. Results: Out of 377 individuals with co-infection HIV/TB there were 56.8% of patients with newly diagnosed TB. About 30.8% of individuals with newly diagnosed TB did not know they were HIV-positive and attended the hospital for TB treatment. It was revealed that the most predominant TB-form was disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis in the phase of infiltration/decay both among newly diagnosed HIV positive patients and the HIV/ TB patients registered in specialized care centers-50.5% and 49.7%, respectively. The active TB-form (MbT+) accounted for 40.3%. Cavities in the lungs were revealed in 19.9% of patients. The treatment effectiveness cessation of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis allocation was 75.2% in newly diagnosed TB patients and 55.3% in registered patients. Cavity closure had occurred in 54.1% in patients with newly diagnosed TB and 34.2% in registered patients. Only half of the patients (51.1%) constantly took prescribed medications. Conclusion: The high rate of HIV-infected patients with newly diagnosed TB (56.8%) indicates insufficient effectiveness of programmes for early TB testing. Also, the fact that about 30.8% of individuals with newly diagnosed TB were not aware of their HIV positive status indicates the urgent necessity for optimizing the interaction between TB and HIV services. One should also pay attention to the low patients’ adherence to the treatment as only 47.5% of patients did undergo treatment.","PeriodicalId":15020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Antivirals & Antiretrovirals","volume":"64 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89476623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To control virus spread, the host cells produce type I interferons (IFNs) as first line of defense, acting as antiviral and inflammatory cytokines. Type I IFNs binding with interferon α/β receptor (IFNAR) triggers the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway to induce the synthesis of a few hundred IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) which inhibit virus replication at different steps of the virus replication cycle [1]. Ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 is one of the most strongly and promptly induced ISG following virus infection, and many studies have demonstrated that ISG15 can directly inhibit viral replication and modulate host immune response. ISG15 is one of the members of ubiquitin families, which include ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like modifiers (Ubls). ISG15 can covalently conjugate to target proteins via isopeptide bonds and this conjugation process of protein modification is known as ISGylation which is involved in the regulation of many cellular processes. To date, proteomic studies have identified a few hundred ISG15 target proteins [2,3]. Research of specific ISG15 targeted proteins have found that through competing with ubiquitin binding sites, ISG15 can inhibit protein ubiquitination, indirectly regulating protein degradation [4].","PeriodicalId":15020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Antivirals & Antiretrovirals","volume":"33 1","pages":"23-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87964486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanism of viral infection in host initiates on the entry of TMV in the host cell and production of a capping enzyme i.e. RNA polymerase. Replication of virus produces multiple mRNAs which further encodes multiple proteins including coat proteins, movement proteins and an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). In the present study, TMV replicase domain has been targeted using a set of novel penta-1,4-diene-3-one oxime derivatives bearing a pyridine moiety. To further assess the reactivity of these compounds against TMV, molecular orbital energy descriptors were calculated using Density Functional Theory (DFT) correlations. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacological properties have also been analysed as the crop yields are to be consumed by the humans. Results revealed that among the 16 derivatives of penta-1,4-diene-3-one oxime, compound C, J, O and P showed the highest inhibitory potential. Reactivity of these compounds was also high, however, only compound C showed effective pharmacokinetics and pharmacological properties. Based on these results, it is concluded that compound C can be used as a potent inhibitor against TMV and the yields produced by a crop will be safe to be consumed by humans. reactivity of strongly inhibiting compounds is also analysed by calculating molecular orbital energy descriptors and their band energy gap.

As there is no vaccine and no drug to prevent and treat ZIKV infections, there is an urgent need to have active drugs against ZIKV that can be used during pregnancy. Large screening strategies suggested that azithromycin (AZ) has an in vitro activity against ZIKV, we provide additional data supporting this hypothesis. Methods: We tested the efficacy of AZ on ZIKV-infected Vero cells at a concentration that can be reached in vivo in amniotic fluid. We conducted two experiments with addition to infected cells of a single dose or multi doses of 50 mg/L of AZ, and analyzed ZIKV replication by immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and by measuring viral RNA loads at different times up to 96 h post-infection (hpi). Results: Addition of a single dose of 50 mg/L of AZ prevented replication of ZIKV during 48 hpi; after 48 hpi, ZIKV replication was detected by IFA but viral RNA loads remained lower than in untreated infected cells. ZIKV replication was inhibited by addition of multi doses of 50 mg/L of AZ. Conclusions: Our data confirm the in vitro activity of AZ against ZIKV. Since there will be no active specific drugs and vaccine available soon against ZIKV, AZ might be the first compound that could prevent and treat ZIKV infections, with the advantages of being an approved and safe drug usable during pregnancy.","PeriodicalId":15020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Antivirals & Antiretrovirals","volume":"44 1","pages":"6-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74943895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over-expression of IFITM1, IFITM2 or IFITM3 restricted early viral replication. On the contrary, knock-down of IFITM3 stimulated influenza A virus replication [4]. Researchers reported that IFITM3 is required for IFNα-induced anti-viral defense and restricts influenza A virus infection at viral entry and early-stage of virus life cycle. Knockdown of IFITM3 dampen 40%-70% of IFN's anti-viral effect. Thus, IFITM proteins are critical for the innate immunity to influenza A virus mediated by IFNs [5]. IFITMs have been demonstrated to suppress the replication of several flaviviruses including West Nile virus, dengue virus, hepatitis C virus and Zika virus [4]. IFITM1 and IFITM3 inhibit ZIKV infection at early stage of the viral life cycle. In addition, IFITM3 could inhibit ZIKV-induced cell death [6]. Another IFITMs superfamily member TMEM2 has been found to inhibit HBV infection by activating the Jak/STAT signaling pathway [7]. Notably, these restricted viruses were all encapsulated, containing the ssRNA genome, and were reported to enter cells by membrane fusion after endocytosis. However, some retroviruses, such as HIV-1 and Moloney leukaemia virus and Bunyaviridae, Crimean–Congo haemorrhagic fever virus, are obviously not affected by IFITMs. In the past studies, IFITMs were not shown to inhibit HIV-1 infection [4]. However, recent studies have reported that IFITM2 and IFITM3 could interact with HIV-1 Env protein in viral producer cells, leading to impaired Env processing and virion incorporation [8]. Meanwhile, some evidence showed that IFITM3 could also limit Non-enveloped Reoviridae, reovirus replication, suggesting that IFITMs affected a variety of viruses, not limited to viruses with envelopes [9].","PeriodicalId":15020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Antivirals & Antiretrovirals","volume":"42 1","pages":"86-87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87097707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
