Abstract excerpt
Mosquito-borne La Crosse virus (LACV; genus Orthobunyavirus, family Peribunyaviridae, order Bunyavirales) causes up to 100 annual cases of severe meningoencephalitis in children and young adults in the United States. A major virulence factor of LACV is the nonstructural protein NSs, which inhibits host cell mRNA synthesis to prevent the induction of antiviral type I interferons (IFN-α/β). To achieve this host...
