Genetic Diversity Shapes Toscana Virus Entry and Infectivity

The intricate interplay between viral glycoproteins and host cellular mechanisms has long been recognized as a pivotal determinant of viral infectivity and transmission dynamics. In a groundbreaking new study published in npj Viruses, researchers Thiesson, Confort, Desloire, and their colleagues unveil critical insights into how genetic variability within the glycoproteins of Toscana virus modulates both the kinetics of virus entry into host cel…
