This paper develops fluorescent KSHV strains and a hybrid RRV expressing KSHV gB to show low pH is required for KSHV membrane fusion during endocytosis.

This study shows that glycoprotein K8.1 is critical for KSHV tissue tropism in marmosets, but not for initial infection.

This study identifies an ACE2-independent pathway for sarbecovirus entry in human cells, mediated by TMPRSS2-related proteases and linked to reduced antibody neutralization.

This paper identifies Tim-1 and Tim-4 as mediators of KSHV and RRV entry, showing their role in viral infection and highlighting their unique function compared to other herpesviruses.
