Abstract
Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is an important pathogen that is threatening the worldwide salmon and trout industry. But there is no therapeutic drug available for now. In this study, we demonstrate that MK-0608 is highly efficient against IPNV and low cytotoxic, with a 50 % effective concentration (EC50) of 0.20 μM and selectivity index (SI) of about 268. Time of addition assay illustrated that MK-0608 targeted the early stage of IPNV life cycle. Furthermore, we found that MK-0608 blocked IPNV attachment on the premise of sufficient pre-incubation time but MK-0608 did not influence viral internalization and release. MK-0608 could inhibit IPNV genome synthesis, and combination with ribavirin enhanced the inhibition effect, which might be functional via binding to IPNV RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), which was predicted by using molecular docking methods. In vivo test showed that IPNV was extremely suppressed in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) with one single dose of MK-0608, and the higher dosage of 50 mg/kg could cause 3 log decrease of IPNV loads in fish tissues.

Abstract
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is the domestic cat analogue of HIV infection in humans. Both viruses induce oral disease in untreated individuals, with clinical signs that include gingivitis and periodontal lesions. Oral disease manifestations in HIV patients are abated by highly effective combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), though certain oral manifestations persist despite therapy. Microorganisms associated with oral cavity opportunistic infections in patients with HIV cause similar pathologies in cats. To further develop this model, we evaluated characteristics of feline oral health and oral microbiome during experimental FIV infection over an 8-month period following cART. Using 16S metagenomics sequencing, we evaluated gingival bacterial communities at four timepoints in uninfected and FIV-infected cats treated with cART or placebo. Comprehensive oral examinations were also conducted by a veterinary dental specialist over the experimental period. Gingival inflammation was higher in FIV-infected cats treated with placebo compared to cART-treated cats and controls at study endpoint. Oral microbiome alpha diversity increased in all groups, while beta diversity differed among treatment groups, documenting a significant effect of cART therapy on microbiome community composition. This finding has not previously been reported and indicates cART ameliorates immunodeficiency virus-associated oral disease via preservation of oral mucosal microbiota. Further, this study illustrates the value of the FIV animal model for investigations of mechanistic associations and therapeutic interventions for HIV oral manifestations.

Abstract
People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) are a significant population globally. Research delineating our understanding of coinfections in PLWH is critical to care for those navigating infection with other pathogens. The recent COVID-19 pandemic underscored the urgent need for studying the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infections in therapy-controlled and uncontrolled immunodeficiency viral infections. This study established the utility of a feline model for the in vivo study of coinfections. Domestic cats are naturally infected with SARS-CoV-2 and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, a lentivirus molecularly and pathogenically similar to HIV. In this study, comparisons are made between FIV-positive and FIV-negative cats inoculated with SARS-CoV-2 (B.1.617.2.) in an experimental setting. Of the FIV+ cats, three received Zidovudine (AZT) therapy in the weeks leading up to SARS-CoV-2 inoculation, and two did not. SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA was quantified, histopathologic comparisons of respiratory tissues were made, and T-cell populations were analyzed for immune phenotype shifts between groups. CD4+ T lymphocyte responses varied, with FIV+-untreated cats having the poorest CD4+ response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. While all cats had significant pulmonary inflammation, key histopathologic features of the disease differed between groups. Additionally, viral genomic analysis was performed, and results were analyzed for the presence of emerging, absent, amplified, or reduced mutations in SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA after passage through the feline model. Positive selection is noted, especially in FIV+ cats untreated with AZT, and mutations with potential relevance were identified; one FIV+-untreated cat had persistent, increasing SARS-CoV-2 RNA in plasma five days post-infection. These findings and others support the utility of the feline model for studying coinfection in people with HIV and highlight the importance of antiretroviral therapy in clearing SARS-CoV-2 coinfections to minimize transmission and emergence of mutations that may have deleterious effects.

Identification of a putative Gag binding site critical for feline immunodeficiency virus genomic RNA packaging. RNA (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2023; 30:68-88.

Abstract
The retroviral Gag precursor plays a central role in the selection and packaging of viral genomic RNA (gRNA) by binding to virus-specific packaging signal(s) (psi or ψ). Previously, we mapped the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) ψ to two discontinuous regions within the 5' end of the gRNA that assumes a higher order structure harboring several structural motifs. To better define the region and structural elements important for gRNA packaging, we methodically investigated these FIV ψ sequences using genetic, biochemical, and structure-function relationship approaches. Our mutational analysis revealed that the unpaired U85CUG88 stretch within FIV ψ is crucial for gRNA encapsidation into nascent virions. High-throughput selective 2' hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension (hSHAPE) performed on wild type (WT) and mutant FIV ψ sequences, with substitutions in the U85CUG88 stretch, revealed that these mutations had limited structural impact and maintained nucleotides 80-92 unpaired, as in the WT structure. Since these mutations dramatically affected packaging, our data suggest that the single-stranded U85CUG88 sequence is important during FIV RNA packaging. Filter-binding assays performed using purified FIV Pr50Gag on WT and mutant U85CUG88 ψ RNAs led to reduced levels of Pr50Gag binding to mutant U85CUG88 ψ RNAs, indicating that the U85CUG88 stretch is crucial for ψ RNA-Pr50Gag interactions. Delineating sequences important for FIV gRNA encapsidation should enhance our understanding of both gRNA packaging and virion assembly, making them potential targets for novel retroviral therapeutic interventions, as well as the development of FIV-based vectors for human gene therapy.
