Since 2001, continuous virologic surveillance has been conducted in Shanghai, enabling a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of the nucleoprotein (N gene) and fusion gene (F gene) of the measles virus (MeV) over a 21-year period. Between 2001 and 2022, there were a total of 1405 MeV strains isolated by the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and prevention (SCDC), including 6 strains of genotype D8, 8 strains of genotype B3, 12 strains of genotype H1b, and the remaining strains of genotype H1a. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to amplify the 3′ end of the N gene (450 nt) and the complete sequence of the F gene (1622 nt) from the viral isolates. Sequencing of the RT-PCR products was followed by nucleotide and amino acid phylogenetic analyses. The substitution rates were for the F and N genes in Shanghai were determined to be 0.89 × 10⁻³ and 2.20 × 10⁻³ substitutions site^/year, respectively.</div><div>Globally, the nucleotide and amino acid similarities of the N gene among 13,498 MeV isolates ranged from 89.1 %–100.0 % and 90.2 %–100.0 %, respectively.

During primary human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, DCs in the peripheral tissues capture the HIV-1 particles, migrate to the lymph nodes, transfer the particles to CD4⁺ T cells, and initiate infection. However, the identity of the DC subset involved is yet elusive. Hitherto, a novel subset (AXL⁺DCs) has been identified in human blood, which is transcriptomically and functionally distinct from three known subsets. Compared to these, resting AXL⁺DCs express Siglec1 (CD169), capture HIV-1 particles in a CD169-dependent manner, and mediate transinfection. These results suggested that AXL⁺ DCs may facilitate HIV-1 transmission and the spread of very early-stage HIV infection in patients. Therapeutic strategies that target AXL⁺DCs or CD169 interaction with HIV-1 may provide pre-exposure protection during the initial stages of HIV-1 infection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17552,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Virus Eradication","volume":"11 2","pages":"Article 100587"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143679113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cross-sectional nationwide study is a pioneer in assessing knowledge levels of NiV outbreak among the general population in Bangladesh. It was conducted among the general population of Bangladesh from 15th January to 10th February 2024. A conveniently selected sample of individuals participated in the assessment of their knowledge about NiV. A semi-structured questionnaire was used as the data collection tool. After data curation, a total of 2121 responses that met the inclusion criteria were retained for analysis. Among 2121 participants, 69.38 % were aware of NiV. Overall, 62 % demonstrated good knowledge of the virus. The main sources of information were social media (29.9 %), television (25.41 %), educational institutions (18.95 %), newspapers (13.65 %), friends (6.39 %), and workplaces (5.91 %). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that participants aged 31–40 years had lower odds of poor knowledge (OR = 0.57, 95 % CI: 0.39–0.82, p &lt; 0.01) compared to those aged 21–30. Females had higher odds of poor knowledge (OR = 1.38, 95 % CI: 1.05–1.81, p = 0.02) than males. Lower education levels were associated with higher odds of poor knowledge. Moreover, non-healthcare workers also had higher odds of poor knowledge compared to healthcare workers. There were regional differences, with varying odds in Rangpur (OR = 0.43, 95 % CI: 0.26–0.70, p &lt; 0.01), Khulna (OR = 1.70, 95 % CI: 1.10–2.61, p = 0.01), and Mymensingh (OR = 2.77, 95 % CI: 1.70–4.53, p &lt; 0.01) compared to Dhaka.

This work used reverse vaccinology and immunoinformatic methods to create a novel bivalent vaccine against rotavirus and HAV. The amino acid sequences of HAV-rotavirus proteins (VP1 and VP8∗) were retrieved from the GenBank database. Various computational approaches were employed to predict highly conserved regions and the most immunogenic B-cell and T-cell epitopes of VP8 and VP1 of rotavirus and HAV proteins in both humans and BALB/c. Moreover, the predicted fusion protein was analyzed regarding primary and secondary structures and homology validation. In this study, we used two highly conserved peptide sequences of VP8 and VP1 of rotavirus and HAV that induce T and B cell immunogenicity. According to T-cell epitope prediction, this area comprises 2713 antigenic peptides for HLA class II and 30 HLA class I antigenic peptides, both of which are virtually entirely conserved in the Iranian population. In this study, validation as well as analysis of the secondary and three-dimensional structure of the VP8∗-rotavirus + AAY + HAV-VP1 fusion protein, with the aim of designing a multi-epitope vaccine with different receptors. TLR 3, 4 high immunogenic binding ability with immunological properties and interaction between multi-epitope target and TLR were predicted, and it is expected that the target fusion protein has stable antigenic potency and compatible half-life. The above is suggested as a universal vaccination program.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17552,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Virus Eradication","volume":"11 1","pages":"Article 100578"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143420940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
