What is the virus that is viral fever of humans and primates and that Triazavirin could have a potential application?
Triazavirin Triazavirin (TZV) is a broad-spectrum antiviral drug developed in Russia through a joint effort of Ural Federal University, Russian Academy of Sciences, Ural Center for Biopharma Technologies and Medsintez Pharmaceutical. It has an azoloazine base structure, which represents a new structural class of non-nucleoside antiviral drugs. It was originally developed as a potential treatment for pandemic influenza strains such as H5N1, and most of the testing that has been done has focused on its anti-influenza activity. However triazavirin has also been found to have antiviral activity against a number of other viruses including tick-borne encephalitis, and is also being investigated for potential application against Lassa fever and Ebola virus disease.
Neurovirology Neurovirology is an interdisciplinary field which represents a melding of clinical neuroscience, virology, immunology, and molecular biology. The main focus of the field is to study viruses capable of infecting the nervous system. In addition to this, the field studies the use of viruses to trace neuroanatomical pathways, for gene therapy, and to eliminate detrimental populations of neural cells.
