In this paper, we explore the role of RNA interference (RNAi) in mosquito immunity by comparing viral small interfering RNA (siRNA) profiles across different insect-specific flaviviruses
In this paper, we report the discovery of Xinyang flavivirus (XiFV), a novel virus isolated from Haemaphysalis flava ticks in China. Through phylogenetic analysis, we found that XiFV is closely related to other tick-only flaviviruses, such as Mpulungu flavivirus (MPFV) from Zambia and Ngoye virus (NGOV) from Senegal. This positions XiFV in a unique clade of orthoflaviviruses, a group that seems to infect only ticks, without any known vertebrate host
In this mini-review we discuss the concept of RNA structure conservation in viruses, using exoribonuclease-resistant RNAs from flaviviruses as prominent examples
In this paper, we study the molecular epidemiology and RNA structureome diversity of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV). Moreover, we propose a unified picture of pervasive non-coding RNA structure conservation across all known TBEV subtypes
