Despite its 100% lethality and the circa 59,000 human deaths every year, rabies is still in want of an effective treatment. A host of trials is described aiming at impairing the life cycle of Lyssavirus rabies (RABV), the chief worldwide lyssavirus causing rabies, but with limited success. Treatments targeting host factors and to circumvent the lesions caused by RABV have also shown unsat…
Quasispecies is a term used to describe the collaborative population genetics of multiple sub consensus variants under a dominant genomic sequence of RNA and some DNA viruses. Each variant on the spectrum might show a different fitness, which changes according to the selection pressures such as immune response and host spillovers. For Avian coronavirus (AvCoV), the effects of host shift o…
Coronaviruses (Nidovirales: Coronaviridae: Coronavirinae) use a wide range of mammalian and avian species as hosts, having evolved with the ancestors of these animals since at least 293 million years, leading to diverse kinds of virus-host relationships such as pathologic processes of the respiratory, reproductive, enteric and urinary tracts or asymptomatic infections as in Chiropterans, …
Rabies is a 100% lethal zoonosis and is still a burden for Public Health. The current protocol for the treatment of human rabies is based on antivirals such as ketamin, ribavirin, midazolam and amantadin, but the lack of its reproducibility in human patients is a current problem. The aims of this project are to test in vitro in BHK-21 cells anti-rabies virus protocols based on RNA interfe…

Rabies is a zoonotic disease that mainly affects poor populations in developing countries. While there is an efficient vaccine against rabies, many of those in the areas most affected by the disease are not aware of the vaccination requirements and may be unable to reach an area where vaccines are readily available, or unable to pay for vaccination and immunoglobulin. This project aims to…
Rabies consists of a zoonotic acute encephalitis and is caused by an RNA virus of the genus Lyssavirus, family Rhabdoviridae. The disease is responsible for large economic losses in Brazilian cattle breeding, and the vampire bat is the main reservoir for herbivorous animals. In addition, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that rabies still causes the death o…
Feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) emerges after mutations of the enteric feline coronavirus (FECoV). Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a systemic, immunomediated and progressively fatal diseases of domestic and wild felines. The differentiation between FIPV and FECoV is a chief diagnostic aspect of Feline coronavirus (FCoV) infection. Currently, there's no quick test that ca…
Diseases caused by Avian Coronavirus are of high importance to poultry industry in terms of economic losses and the possibility of transmission between species of birds. Among the known coronaviruses in poultry production, infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and turkey coronavirus (TCoV) are the most important. While the first presents in different serotypes and pathotypes, causing diseases…
