Abstract
Mammalian MXRA8 functions as a receptor for chikungunya and other related alphaviruses. A recent study in Cell molecularly characterizes host-specific receptor usage, specifically showing avian MXRA8 acts as a receptor for several alphaviruses with avian reservoirs in an inverted manner relative to alphaviruses that use mammalian MXRA8 as a receptor.
