Nanobiomedicine and parasitology are facing a number of key challenges, which mostly
deal with the paucity of effective preventive and curative tools against mosquito-borne …

Latency is a state of cryptic viral infection associated with genomic persistence and highly
restricted gene expression. Its hallmark is reversibility: under appropriate circumstances …

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV or HHV4), a member of the human herpesvirus (HHV) family, has
recently been shown to encode microRNAs (miRNAs). In contrast to most eukaryotic …

Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (gammaHV68) infects mice, thus providing a tractable small-
animal model for analysis of the acute and chronic pathogenesis of gammaherpesviruses …

Abstract Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) represent a key threat for millions of humans and
animals worldwide, vectoring important pathogens and parasites, including malaria …

Canonical primary microRNA (pri-miRNA) precursors are transcribed by RNA polymerase II
and then processed by the Drosha endonuclease to generate∼ 60 nt pre-miRNA hairpins …

Abstract Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) is a naturally occurring herpesvirus of wild
rodents and is genetically related to human herpesvirus 8 and Epstein-Barr virus. The ability …

Murine γ–herpesvirus 68 (MHV–68) is a natural pathogen of small rodents and insectivores
(mice, voles and shrews). The primary infection is characterized by virus replication in lung …

It is currently believed that latently infected, resting B lymphocytes are central to
gammaherpesvirus persistence, whereas mucosal epithelial cells are considered …

The γ-herpesviruses are oncogenic B cell lymphotrophic viruses that establish life-long
latency in the host. Murine γ-herpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) infection of mice represents a unique …
