Effect of alphavirus infection on mouse embryos [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1982 Seven strains and mutants of the alphaviruses, Semliki Forest virus and Sindbis virus, differed in their lethality for mouse embryos and their mothers. The A7 strain and the neurovirulence mutant M103 of Semliki Forest virus were selected for detailed comparison. A7 produced 100% lethality of mouse embryos but was avirulent for their mothers.

A molecular understanding of alphavirus entry.
PLoS Pathogens, 2020 Alphaviruses cause severe human illnesses including persistent arthritis and fatal encephalitis. As alphavirus entry into target cells is the first step in infection, intensive research efforts have focused on elucidating aspects of this pathway ...

The Regulation of Translation in Alphavirus-Infected Cells [PDF]
Viruses, 2018 Sindbis virus (SINV) contains an RNA genome of positive polarity with two open reading frames (ORFs). The first ORF is translated from the genomic RNA (gRNA), rendering the viral non-structural proteins, whereas the second ORF is translated from a subgenomic mRNA (sgRNA), which directs the synthesis of viral structural proteins. SINV infection strongly

Sequelae and Animal Modeling of Encephalitic Alphavirus Infections
Viruses, 2023 Eastern (EEEV), Venezuelan (VEEV), and western equine encephalitis viruses (WEEV) are members of the genus Alphavirus, family Togaviridae. Typically spread by mosquitoes, EEEV, VEEV, and WEEV induce febrile illness that may develop into more severe encephalitic disease, resulting in myriad severe neurologic sequelae for which there are no vaccines or ...

First Record of Mosquito-Borne Kyzylagach Virus in Central Europe
Viruses, 2020 RNA of Kyzylagach virus (KYZV), a Sindbis-like mosquito-borne alphavirus from Western equine encephalitis virus complex, was detected in four pools (out of 221 pools examined), encompassing 10,784 female Culex modestus mosquitoes collected at a fishpond ...

Genome-wide RNAi screen identifies novel host proteins required for alphavirus entry. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 The enveloped alphaviruses include important and emerging human pathogens such as Chikungunya virus and Eastern equine encephalitis virus. Alphaviruses enter cells by clathrin-mediated endocytosis, and exit by budding from the plasma membrane.

Inflammatory monocytes mediate control of acute alphavirus infection in mice. [PDF]
PLoS Pathog, 2017 Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and Ross River virus (RRV) are mosquito-transmitted alphaviruses that cause debilitating acute and chronic musculoskeletal disease. Monocytes are implicated in the pathogenesis of these infections; however, their specific roles are not well defined.

Seroprevalence of alphavirus antibodies in a cross-sectional study in southwestern Tanzania suggests endemic circulation of chikungunya. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 BACKGROUND: To date, Alphavirus infections and their most prominent member, chikungunya fever, a viral disease which first became apparent in Tanzania in 1953, have been very little investigated in regions without epidemic occurrence.
