Land use effects on mosquito biodiversity and potential arbovirus emergence in the Southern Amazon, Brazil.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2021
The Amazon rainforest is considered the largest reservoir of culicids and arboviruses in the world. It has been under intense human-driven alteration, especially in the so-called "Arc of Deforestation", located in the Eastern and Southern regions.

Improved detection of genus-specific Alphavirus using a generic TaqMan® assay

BMC Microbiology, 2017
Background Alphaviruses are arthropod borne RNA viruses of medical importance. Geographical expansion of mosquitoes of the Aedes genus in the past decades has been associated with major Alphavirus-associated outbreaks. Climate changes and intensification

NS1 Protein N-Linked Glycosylation Site Affects the Virulence and Pathogenesis of Dengue Virus

Vaccines, 2023
Live attenuated vaccine is one of the most effective vaccines against flavivirus. Recently, site-directed mutation of the flavivirus genome using reverse genetics techniques has been used for the rapid development of attenuated vaccines.

Temperate conditions restrict Japanese encephalitis virus infection to the mid-gut and prevents systemic dissemination in Culex pipiens mosquitoes

Scientific Reports, 2021
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus, is the main cause of viral encephalitis in Asia. However, with changing climate JEV has the potential to emerge in novel temperate regions.

Antecedent infections in Guillain‐Barré syndrome in endemic areas of arbovirus transmission: A multinational case‐control study

Journal of the peripheral nervous system, 2021
Half of the world's population is at risk of arthropod‐borne virus (arbovirus) infections. Several arbovirus infections have been associated with Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS). We investigated whether arboviruses are driving GBS beyond epidemic phases of

Trends of the Dengue Serotype-4 Circulation with Epidemiological, Phylogenetic, and Entomological Insights in Lao PDR between 2015 and 2019

Pathogens, 2020
Dengue outbreaks have regularly been recorded in Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR) since the first detection of the disease in 1979. In 2012, an integrated arbovirus surveillance network was set up in Lao PDR and an entomological surveillance has ...

High throughput estimates of Wolbachia, Zika and chikungunya infection in Aedes aegypti by near-infrared spectroscopy to improve arbovirus surveillance

Communications Biology, 2021
Deployment of Wolbachia to mitigate dengue (DENV), Zika (ZIKV) and chikungunya (CHIKV) transmission is ongoing in 12 countries. One way to assess the efficacy of Wolbachia releases is to determine invasion rates within the wild population of Aedes ...
