Recent studies of the 1918 influenza virus shed light on the risks of avian ... This may result in altered cell tropism 13, perhaps relevant in determining the virulence of infection.

and exit from the phloem involve additional viral factors and complex virus-host interactions. Although the majority of plant viruses are capable of infecting most types of cells within their hosts, ...

Despite all that is known about enteroviruses, a good deal of mystery surrounds the sites of virus replication in the human alimentary tract. Further, the host restrictions that govern cell tropism ...

The 2004 H5N1 virus was used for comparison as the virus ... in mice when infected through aerosol exposure. But the tissue tropism was vastly different — the 2004 strain was largely restricted ...

The Trofile coreceptor tropism assay is commercially available to detect the presence of CCR5, CXCR4, or dual- or mixed-tropic virus. The tropism assay can detect CXCR4-tropic virus nearly 100% of ...

These events are essential for the successful initiation of a virus replication cycle and play an important role in tissue tropism and pathogenesis of viruses. Rotaviruses, the leading cause of ...

The newly identified virus, named GRJV1, exhibited an ability to infect various mammalian cell types, from rodents to humans.
