Antiviral proteins were isolated, from host plants, following treatment with an antiviral glycoprotein, extracted from the roots of Boerhaavia diffusa plants. It was found to be active against isometric as well as an isometric viruses in their respective hypersensitive and systemic hosts. The biologically active principal was isolated and purified. Estimation of proteins, from the leaf samples of N.glutinosa plants, indicated higher concentration of new proteins in plants whose two basal leaves were treated 24 hours earlier with an aqueous solution of the glycoprotein. SDS-PAGE analysis studies on partially purified antiviral principal of protein nature revealed that the size of band in L3 (after 24 hours) was 30 Kda along with very dark and prominent bands. The size of band recorded in rest treatments was of 36 Kda and 50 Kda.

Maternal to child transmission (MTCT) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection has been greatly controlled by administration of anti-retroviral therapy (ART) [1]. We have reported that the sulfatide (3-O-galactosylceramide) promotes rescue of hematopoiesis in vivo [2]. Infection of human parainfluenza virus type 3 (hPIV3) has been shown to be inhibited by sulfatide (HSO3-3galactosylceramide) by other investigators [3]. Thus our earlier discussions on the importance of the different isoforms of and the seemingly differing types of biologically occurring sulfatides, lend credence to our proposed necessity of opposing (bi)directional investigations and their extent of beneficial or deleterious roles [4]. Further such varying functional roles emanating from the placental plasma membranes may well seal the fate of vertical transmission of each type of virus, in the absence of prenatal maternal treatments. This is more so when a temporary or permanent abstinence from sex is not practiced by the parents when aware of the diagnosed infections and thus the nature of virus persistence.

Changes in climatic conditions can lead to the appearance of natural reservoir of new viral infections. For example, soft winter and spring conditions, heavy rainfall, as a rule, become a cause of a sharp increase in the number of rodents and mosquitoes, which in turn can lead to outbreaks of infectious diseases: the frequency of epizootic Rift Valley fever in Kenya, outbreaks of West Nile fever in the United States and Russia, the outbreak of infections caused by Hantavirus Sin Nombre and Bayu in the United States, hemorrhagic fever in the territory of Russia and Kazakhstan.

1.1.Introduction: HCV and HIV are global pandemics that affect 170 million and 35 million individuals, respectively. Up to 45% of individuals infected with HCV clear their infections spontaneously – correlating to factors like female sex, aboriginal descent, symptomatic acute hepatitis and some host specific immune factors. HIV, however, establishes true latency in infected cells, and therefore cannot be cured. In the setting of long-term non-progressors (LTNPs) of HIV, a state of immune preservation and low circulating viral load is established. Regarding HIV/HCV co- infection, little is known about the relationship between spontaneous clearance of HCV infection and long-term control of HIV infection without the benefit of antiretroviral therapy. 1.2.Case Presentation: We describe a case of a HIV-infected female who was an established LTNP in whom spontaneous clearance of HCV was documented on multiple occasions. 1.3.Conclusion: Similar cases of HIV LTNPs who may be exposed repeatedly to HCV and fail to establish productive infections should be documented and identified in an effort to develop novel hypotheses about natural control of both HIV and HCV. In the future, this could inform research on immune-based interventions to control these infections.
