Microscopy techniques are often exploited by virologists to investigate molecular details of critical steps in viruses’ life cycles such as host cell recognition and entry, genome replication, intracellular trafficking, and release of mature virions. Fluorescence microscopy is the most attractive tool employed to detect intracellular localizations of various stages of the viral infection and monitor the pathogen‐host interactions associated with them. Super‐resolution microscopy techniques have…

Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy in Eukaryotes.

How SMLM has contributed new knowledge in eukaryotic biology is described, and the potential to pave the way toward a better understanding of how cells function at the molecular level is described.

How Computational Models Enable Mechanistic Insights into Virus Infection.

It is argued that modeling and computer simulation, combined with mechanistic insights, yields unprecedented deep understanding of phenomena in biology and especially in virus infections by providing a way of showing sufficiency of a hypothetical mechanism.

Imaging Poliovirus Entry in Live Cells

Surprisingly, it is observed that genome release by PV is highly efficient and rapid, and thus does not limit the overall infectivity or the infection rate, and this imaging assay is broadly applicable to the investigation of entry mechanisms for nonenveloped viruses.

HIV taken by STORM: Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy of a viral infection

This study quantified the 2-D molecular distribution of the major structural proteins of the infectious human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) before and after infection of lymphoid cells and determined that the HIV-1 matrix and capsid proteins undergo restructuring soon after HIV- 1 infection.
