The expression of eIF3a varies with exposure to thermal stress, hypoxia stress, irradiation stress, nutrient starvation stress, and viral infections (Rodriguez Pulido et al., 2007; Dong et al., 2009; Lane et al., 2013; Trivigno et al., 2013; Ding et al., 2020; Malcova et al., 2021; Srivastava et al., 2021). The gene discussed is EIF3A; the disease is viral infectious disease.
