Emergence of Dengue as one of the deadliest viral diseases prompts the need for
development of effective therapeutic agents. Dengue virus (DV) exists in four different …

Dengue (DENV), yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika virus transmission to humans by a
mosquito host is confounded by both intrinsic and extrinsic variables. Besides virulence …

As obligate parasites, viruses strictly depend on host cell translation for the production of
new progeny, yet infected cells also synthesize antiviral proteins to limit virus infection …

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne virus (arbovirus) in the family Flaviviridae, and the
symptoms caused by ZIKV infection in humans include rash, fever, arthralgia, myalgia …

Background RNA viruses have genomes with a distinct nucleotide composition and codon
usage. We present the global characteristics of the RNA genome of Zika virus (ZIKV), an …

Background Dengue is one of the most common arboviral diseases prevalent worldwide
and is caused by Dengue viruses (genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae). There are four …

Interaction of SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein with the ACE2 cell receptor is very crucial for
virus attachment to human cells. Selected mutations in SARS-CoV-2 S-protein are reported …

We are interested in the influence of nucleotide composition on the fundamental
characteristics of the virus RNA genome. Most RNA viruses have genomes with a distinct …

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is a negative-sense, single stranded RNA
virus with a three-segmented genome that belongs to the genus Nairovirus within the family …

Codon usage bias (CUB) is the unequal usage of synonymous codons of an amino acid in
which some codons are used more often than others and is widely used in understanding …
