Shareef A, Ludeke B, Jordan P, Deval J, Fearns R
PLoS Pathog . 2021 Dec; 17(12):e1010151. PMID: 34914795
It is generally thought that the promoters of non-segmented, negative strand RNA viruses (nsNSVs) direct the polymerase to initiate RNA synthesis exclusively opposite the 3´ terminal nucleotide of the genome...

Blanchard E, Braun M, Lifland A, Ludeke B, Noton S, Vanover D, et al.
PLoS Pathog . 2020 Oct; 16(10):e1008987. PMID: 33031461
The ribonucleocapsid complex of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is responsible for both viral mRNA transcription and viral replication during infection, though little is known about how this dual function is...

Ludeke B, Fearns R
Virology . 2019 Nov; 540:66-74. PMID: 31739186
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is significant for public health, capable of causing respiratory tract disease in infants, the elderly and the immunocompromised. The RSV polymerase is an attractive target for...
