— This strain of the Bourbon virus was isolated from the serum of an infected St. Louis-area patient. The isolated virus was used to demonstrate in vitro and in a mouse model that the antiviral drug favipiravir has prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy against the Bourbon virus, indicating it as a goo…

— A plasmid based reverse genetics system for Bourbon virus was created. This system and related plasmids allow for the creation of infectious Bourbon virus and evaluate the impact of genetic variation on the virus (replication, disease, antibody-mediated neutralization etc.). It also allows for the c…

— CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing was used to modify the coding region of the MAP3K6 mouse gene. The genetic modification resulted in the deletion of the full length production of the protein. This modification was made in a C57BL/6J genetic background. MAP3K6 is a signaling molecule and could be the target …
