Conserved use of tetraspanin CD9 as an entry receptor by rhabdoviruses spanning multiple genera

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 11, March 2026. <br/>SignificanceRhabdoviruses infect a wide range of hosts, but the cellular receptors enabling this cross-species infection were unclear. We identified the tetraspanin protein cluster and differentiation 9 (CD9) as a conserved functional entry receptor for …
