Interferon Lambda Delays the Emergence of Influenza Virus Resistance to Oseltamivir

Francesco Stellacci, Paulo Henrique Jacob Silva

Influenza viruses are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. These air-borne pathogens are able to cross the species barrier, leading to regular seasonal epidemics and sporadic pandemics. Influenza viruses also possess a high genetic variabi ...

The Combined Effect of Oseltamivir and Favipiravir on Influenza A Virus Evolution

Jeffrey David Jensen, Claudia Bank, Sebastian Matuszewski, Nicky Louise Ormond

Influenza virus inflicts a heavy death toll annually and resistance to existing antiviral drugs has generated interest in the development of agents with novel mechanisms of action. Favipiravir is an antiviral drug that acts by increasing the genome-wide mu ...

Inferring the age and strength of mutations evolving under positive selection

Nicky Louise Ormond

A fundamental goal of population genetics is to determine and quantify the interplay of mutation, natural selection, genetic drift and migration in shaping allelic frequency changes that underpin evolution-ary change. In this dissertation, I present comput ...

Immobilization of the N-terminal helix stabilizes prefusion paramyxovirus fusion proteins

Matteo Dal Peraro, Luciano Andres Abriata

Parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5) is an enveloped, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus of the Paramyxoviridae family. PIV5 fusion and entry are mediated by the coordinated action of the receptor-binding protein, hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN), and the f ...
