The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for determining whether a patient exhibiting acute gastroenteritis will benefit from treatment with therapeutic agents that inhibit Norovirus genogroup I (GI) or Norovirus genogroup II (GII). The methods disclosed herein are based on detecting Norovirus genogroup I (GI) and Norovirus genogroup II (GII) in a stool sample without extracting viral nucleic acids from a clinical specimen prior to performing real-time reverse transcription PCR. Kits for use in practicing the methods are also provided.

By a Selective Elimination of Host Cells Capable of Producing HIV (SECH) approach, which includes a combination of latency reversal, blocking of new infections, inhibition of autophagy and induction of apoptosis, host cells harboring productive HIV infections can be cleared from a subject. Disclosed herein are methods for treating or inhibiting HIV in a subject, comprising a) reactivating latent HIV integrated into the genome of a cell infected with HIV in the subject, b) optionally administering to the subject an effective amount of a therapeutic agent to inhibit HIV infection, and c) administering to the subject an effective amount of a therapeutic agent to eliminate or reduce the number of cells containing replication-competent HIV. Kits for treating or inhibiting HIV in a subject are also disclosed.

Provided herein are methods of treating a viral infection in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutical composition comprising Formula (I). Further provided herein are methods for inhibiting the replication of a virus (e.g., a togaviridae family virus (e.g., an alphavirus (e.g., Chikungunya virus, Eastern equine encephalitis, Mayaro virus, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, Western equine encephalitis)), a filoviradae family virus (e.g., a Marburg virus (e.g., Marburg virus, Ravn virus)), human respiratory syncytial virus (i.e., human orthopneumo virus), a flavivirus (e.g., dengue virus, Usutu virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, Powassan virus, yellow fever), a paramyxoviridae family virus (e.g., an orthoparamyxovirinae virus (e.g., a henipavims (e.g., Nipah virus), a morbillivims (e.g., measles morbillivirus))) in a subject in need thereof. Also provided herein are methods for treating and/or preventing a disorder due to a microbial toxin (e.g., due to P. aeruginosa exotoxin A, Clostridium septicum alpha-toxin, diphtheria toxin(s), shiga toxin(s)) in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (I) as described herein. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions and kits including a compound of Formula (I) for use in the treatment and/or prevention of a viral infection in a subject in need thereof.
