Computational Identification of Antigenic Proteins and Epitopes in Hantavirus sp. for Drug Repurposing
Abstract: Hantavirus is an emerging virus that spreads from animals to humans and can cause serious illnesses like hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). there are no FDA-approved treatments available for these diseases. This study explores in-silico drug repurposing as a strategy to identify potential therapeutic candidates. The physicochemical, secondary structure, antigenicity, and post-translational modification analysis of hantavirus proteins – specifically the glycoprotein precursor, N protein, …

Rodents and Zoonotic Diseases: Environmental Drivers and Prevention Measures
Abstract: Among the most ubiquitous animal species, rats spread several human diseases. Found in cities, rural areas, and everywhere in between, rats have adapted remarkably well to living alongside people. Unfortunately, this close contact makes it easier for them to carry and pass on harmful germs. Their biology, fast breeding, and ability to host various bacteria, viruses, and parasites often without getting sick themselves make them especially effective at spreading disease.This …
