Alphavirus-Induced Membrane Rearrangements during Replication, Assembly, and Budding
Pathogens, 2021 Alphaviruses are arthropod-borne viruses mainly transmitted by hematophagous insects that cause moderate to fatal disease in humans and other animals. Currently, there are no approved vaccines or antivirals to mitigate alphavirus infections.

Plasmid DNA-based Alphavirus Vaccines
Vaccines, 2019 Alphaviruses have been engineered as vectors for high-level transgene expression. Originally, alphavirus-based vectors were applied as recombinant replication-deficient particles, subjected to expression studies in mammalian and non-mammalian cell lines,

Production of virus-derived ping-pong-dependent piRNA-like small RNAs in the mosquito soma. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2012 The natural maintenance cycles of many mosquito-borne pathogens require establishment of persistent non-lethal infections in the invertebrate host. The mechanism by which this occurs is not well understood, but we have previously shown that an antiviral ...

Capping pores of alphavirus nsP1 gate membranous viral replication factories
Nature, 2020 Positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses, such as coronaviruses, flaviviruses and alphaviruses, carry out transcription and replication inside virus-induced membranous organelles within host cells 1 – 7 .

The adjuvant activity of alphavirus replicons is enhanced by incorporating the microbial molecule flagellin into the replicon. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Ligands of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) including Toll-like receptors (TLRs) stimulate innate and adaptive immune responses and are considered as potent adjuvants. Combinations of ligands might act in synergy to induce stronger and broader immune

Knockdown of piRNA pathway proteins results in enhanced Semliki forest virus production in mosquito cells [PDF]
, 2013 The exogenous siRNA pathway is important in restricting arbovirus infection in mosquitoes. Less is known about the role of the PIWI-interacting RNA pathway, or piRNA pathway, in antiviral responses. Viral piRNA-like molecules have recently been described

Selective precipitation reaction: a novel diagnostic test for tissue pathology in Atlantic Salmon, Salmo salar, infected with Salmonid Alpha-Virus (SAV3) [PDF]
, 2017 While investigating biomarkers for infection with salmonid alphavirus (SAV), the cause of pancreas disease (PD), a selective precipitation reaction (SPR) has been discovered in serum which could be an on-farm qualitative test and an in-laboratory ...

Alphavirus Restriction by
Traffic, 2016 Interferon inducible transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) are broad‐spectrum antiviral factors. In cell culture the entry of many enveloped viruses, including orthomyxo‐, flavi‐, and filoviruses, is inhibited by IFITMs, though the mechanism(s) involved remain unclear and may vary between viruses.

Alphavirus Entry and Membrane Fusion [PDF]
Viruses, 2010 The study of enveloped animal viruses has greatly advanced our understanding of the general properties of membrane fusion and of the specific pathways that viruses use to infect the host cell. The membrane fusion proteins of the alphaviruses and flaviviruses have many similarities in structure and function.

Specific Recognition of a Stem-Loop RNA Structure by the Alphavirus Capsid Protein
Viruses, 2021 Alphaviruses are small enveloped viruses with positive-sense RNA genomes. During infection, the alphavirus capsid protein (Cp) selectively packages and assembles with the viral genomic RNA to form the nucleocapsid core, a process critical to the ...
