APOBEC3 deaminase editing in mpox virus as evidence for sustained human transmi...
O’Toole, Áine; Neher, Richard A.; Ndodo, Nnaemeka; Borges, Vitor; Gannon, Ben; Gomes, João Paulo; Groves, Natalie; King, David J.; Maloney, DanielHistorically, mpox has been characterized as an endemic zoonotic disease that transmits through contact with the reservoir rodent host in West and Central Africa. However, in May 2022, human cases of mpox were detected spreading internationally beyond countries with known endemic reservoirs. When the first cases from 2022 were sequenced, they shared 42 nucleotide differences from the closest mpox virus (MPXV) p...
Assessing transmissibility of HIV-1 drug resistance mutations from treated and ...
Winand, Raf; Theys, Kristof; Eusébio, Mónica; Aerts, Jan; Camacho, Ricardo J.; Gomes, Perpétua; Suchard, Marc A.; Vandamme, Anne-Mieke; Abecasis, Ana B.OBJECTIVES: Surveillance drug resistance mutations (SDRMs) in drug-naive patients are typically used to survey HIV-1-transmitted drug resistance (TDR). We test here how SDRMs in patients failing treatment, the original source of TDR, contribute to assessing TDR, transmissibility and transmission source of SDRMs. DESIGN: This is a retrospective observational study analyzing a Portuguese cohort of HIV-1-infected ...
