Bluetongue virus (BTV) is the type species os the genus orbivirus in the family Reoviridae. The virus has a fibrillar outer coat containing two major structural proteins VP2 and VP5 which surround an icosahedral core. The core contains two major proteins VP3 and VP7 and three minor proteins VP1, VP4 and VP6. Recent evidence has indicated that the core comprises a neucleoprotein center which is surrounded by two protein layers; VP7, a major constituent of capsomeres comprises the outer and VP3 the inner layer of the core . Antibodies to VP7 are currently used in enzyme-linked immunosorbant assays and immuno-electron microscopical (JEM) tests for the detection of BTV. The tests involve the antibody recognition of VP7 on virus particles. In an attempt to understand how complete viruses can interact with antibodies to VP7 various antibody types and methodologies were utilized to determine the physical accessibility of the core to the external environment.

: Fever is a response of human body due to an increase the temperature against the certain stimuli. It may be associated with several reasons and one of the major causes of fever is mosquito bite. Fever due to dengue virus (DENV) infection is being paid most attention out of several other fevers because of a large number of deaths reported worldwide. Dengue virus is transmitted by biting of the mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. DENV1, DENV2, DENV3 and DENV4 are the four serotypes of dengue virus and these serotypes have 65% similarities in their genomic structure. Genome of DENV is composed of single stranded RNA and it encodes for the polyprotein. Structural and non-structural proteins (nsP) are the two major part of protese. Researchers have paid high attention on the non-structural protease (nsP) of DENV like nsP1, nsP2A, nsP2B, nsP3, nsP4A, nsP4B and nsP5. The NS2B-NS3 protease of DENV is the prime target of the researchers as it is responsible for the catalytic activity. In the present time, Dengvaxia (vaccine) is being recommended to the patients suffering severely due to DENV infection in few countries only. Till date, neither a vaccine nor an effective medicine is available to combat with all four serotypes. This review describes the fever, its causes and studies to cure the infection due to DENV using theoretical and experimental approaches.

UNSTRUCTURED Covid 19 the causative agent of the current devastating pandemic has turned out to be a notorious virus to all men-irrespective of either common to scientific calibre. Attempts to combat this deadly virus are the need of the hour and quite often the best way to defeat an opponent is to keenly study about its structural and propagation properties. The current paper describes briefly Covid 19 at the genomic, structural and protein level to the best of our knowledge. Furthermore, the prospects of possible drug targets that could aid in the control of this virus are also discussed.
