Sequelae and Animal Modeling of Encephalitic Alphavirus Infections
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 ...

Alphaviruses are a group of arboviruses that generate chronic inflammatory rheumatisms in humans. Currently, no approved vaccines or antiviral therapies are available to prevent or treat alphavirus-induced diseases.

Effect of alphavirus infection on mouse embryos [PDF]
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.

Proposed model for eEF2 phosphorylation during alphavirus infection. [PDF]
The NTPase activity of alphavirus nsP2 induces an increase in the intracellular cAMP concentration which results in activation of PKA and increased eEF2K activity, increased phosphorylation of eEF2 on T56 and T58 and inhibition of translation which ...

Neurological Sequelae Resulting from Encephalitic Alphavirus Infection. [PDF]
The recent surge in viral clinical cases and associated neurological deficits have reminded us that viral infections can lead to detrimental, long-term effects, termed sequelae, in survivors. Alphaviruses are enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses in the Togaviridae family.

Insertion of EGFP into the replicase gene of Semliki Forest virus results in a novel, genetically stable marker virus [PDF]
Alphavirus-based vector and replicon systems have been extensively used experimentally and are likely to be used in human and animal medicine. Whilst marker genes can be inserted easily under the control of a duplicated subgenomic promoter, these ...

First Record of Mosquito-Borne Kyzylagach Virus in Central Europe
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 ...
