Unveiling the Molecular Profile and Antiviral Potential of Costus arabicus L. Against Zika Virus
Analysis of the chemical profile and antiviral potential of Costus arabicus L. extracts. ABSTRACT Widely used in Brazilian folk medicine, Costus arabicus L. (Canarana) is a herbaceous plant with promising pharmacological potential. Here, we profile the molecular composition of extracts from different plant organs and evaluate their in vitro activity ...

Plasmid DNA-based Alphavirus Vaccines
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,

ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...

Defined mutations in the 5' nontranslated sequence of Sindbis virus RNA [PDF]
We have constructed 24 deletion mutants which contain deletions of from 1 to 15 nucleotides in the 5' nontranslated region of Sindbis virus RNA and tested the effect of these mutations on virus replication.

The antiviral RNAi response in vector and non-vector cells against orthobunya viruses [PDF]
Background: Vector arthropods control arbovirus replication and spread through antiviral innate immune responses including RNA interference (RNAi) pathways. Arbovirus infections have been shown to induce the exogenous small interfering RNA (siRNA) and

Chikungunya virus: an update on the biology and pathogenesis of this emerging pathogen [PDF]
Re-emergence of chikungunya virus, a mosquito-transmitted pathogen, is of serious public health concern. In the past 15 years, after decades of infrequent, sporadic outbreaks, the virus has caused major epidemic outbreaks in Africa, Asia, the Indian ...

Elucidation of the Epitranscriptomic RNA Modification Landscape of Chikungunya Virus
The genomes of positive-sense (+) single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) viruses are believed to be subjected to a wide range of RNA modifications. In this study, we focused on the chikungunya virus (CHIKV) as a model (+) ssRNA virus to study the landscape of viral

New insights into control of arbovirus replication and spread by insect RNA interference pathways [PDF]
Arthropod-borne (arbo) viruses are transmitted by vectors, such as mosquitoes, to susceptible vertebrates. Recent research has shown that arbovirus replication and spread in mosquitoes is not passively tolerated but induces host responses to control ...

Oncolytic Alphaviruses in Cancer Immunotherapy [PDF]
Oncolytic viruses show specific targeting and killing of tumor cells and therefore provide attractive assets for cancer immunotherapy. In parallel to oncolytic viral vectors based on adenoviruses and herpes simplex viruses, oncolytic RNA viruses and particularly alphaviruses have been evaluated as delivery vehicles. Immunization studies in experimental
