Modulation of host cellular antiviral responses by arthropod-transmitted RNA viruses.

Arboviruses encompass a diverse spectrum of arthropod-transmitted RNA viruses that pose an extensive threat to human health and the economy. These obligate intracellular pathogens induce severe pathologies by strategically subverting the host's innate immune responses, often leading to a plethora of clinical manifestat...

Convergent evolution of immune evasion in ESKAPE pathogens: A cross-pathogen architecture of conserved host-defense checkpoints

This review synthesizes current evidence to show that phylogenetically diverse ESKAPE pathogens have convergently evolved conserved strategies to evade host immunity under comparable selective pressures, and identifies conserved host-directed therapeutic targets that may complement conventional antimicrobial therapy ac...
