ROLE OF RAB13, PROTEIN KINASE A, AND ZONULA OCCLUDENS-1 IN HEPATITIS E VIRUS ENTRY AND CELL-TO-CELL SPREAD: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF QUASI-ENVELOPED AND NON-ENVELOPED FORMS

Role of Rab13, Protein Kinase A, and Zonula Occludens-1 in Hepatitis E Virus Entry and Cell-to-Cell Spread: Comparative Analysis of Quasi-Enveloped and Non-Enveloped Forms

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) exists in two distinct forms: a non-enveloped form (neHEV), which is present in feces and bile, and a quasi-enveloped form (eHEV), found in circulating blood and culture supernatants.This study aimed to elucidate the roles of Ras-associated binding 13 (Rab13) and protein kinase A (PKA) in the entry mechanisms of both eHEV an

Dominant egg surface bacteria of Holotrichia oblita (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) inhibit the multiplication of Bacillus thuringiensis and Beauveria bassiana

Abstract Holotrichia oblita (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) and some other scarab beetles are the main soil-dwelling pests in China.Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and Beauveria bassiana (Bb) are entomopathogens that have been used as biocontrol agents of various pests.However, scarab larvae especially H.oblita exhibited strong adaptability to these pathoge
