Journal Article
McClure, P. C., Tsoleridis, T., Hill, J. D., Holmes, N., Chappell, J. G., Byaruhanga, T., Duncan, J., Tofan, M., Berry, L., Clark, G., L. Irving, W., Tarr, A. W., Ball, J. K., Astbury, S., & Loose, M. (2025). ‘Vivaldi’: an amplicon-based whole-genome sequencing method for the four seasonal human coronaviruses, 229E, NL63, OC43 and HKU1, alongside SARS-CoV-2. Microbial Genomics, 11, Article 001451. https://doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0.001451

Prior to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in 2019, alphacoronaviruses 229E and NL63 and betacoronaviruses OC43 and HKU1 were already established endemic ‘common cold’ viral infections. Despite their collective contribution towards global respiratory morbi...

Wisteria floribunda agglutinin enhances Zaire ebolavirus entry through interactions at specific N-linked glycosylation sites on the virus glycoprotein complex (2025)
Journal Article
Duncan, J., Pathak, M., King, B., Bamber, H., Radford, P., Dey, J., Richardson, C., Astbury, S., McClure, P., Ball, J. K., Urbanowicz, R. A., & Tarr, A. (2025). Wisteria floribunda agglutinin enhances Zaire ebolavirus entry through interactions at specific N-linked glycosylation sites on the virus glycoprotein complex. Journal of General Virology, 106(6), Article 002120. https://doi.org/10.1099/jgv.0.002120

Entry of Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV) into a host cell is a complex process requiring interactions between the viral glycoproteins (GPs) and cellular factors. These entry factors are cell-specific and can include cell surface lectins and phosphatidylserin...
