Low pH and Anionic Lipid-dependent Fusion of Uukuniemi Phlebovirus to Liposomes*

Many phleboviruses (family Bunyaviridae) are emerging as medically important viruses. These viruses enter target cells by endocytosis and low pH-dependent membrane fusion in late endosomes. However, the necessary and sufficient factors for fusion have not been fully characterized. We have studied th...
