IFIT1 differentially interferes with translation and replication of alphavirus genomes and promotes induction of type I interferon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Alphaviruses are a group of widely distributed human and animal pathogens. It is well established that their replication is sensitive to type I IFN treatment, but the mechanism of IFN inhibitory function remains poorly understood.

Alphaviruses in Cancer Therapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
Alphaviruses have been engineered as expression vectors for different strategies of cancer therapy including immunotherapy and cancer vaccine development. Administration of recombinant virus particles, RNA replicons and plasmid DNA-based replicons provide great flexibility for alphavirus applications. Immunization and delivery studies have demonstrated

Zebrafish and CRISPR—A synergistic approach to decipher and cure human diseases

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Zebrafish, with high genetic homology to humans, serves as a powerful vertebrate model for disease modeling and drug discovery. Integration of CRISPR/Cas9 technology enables precise genome editing, facilitating the development of translational models for human diseases.

Identification of Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Compounds by Targeting Viral Entry

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Viruses are a major threat to human health and economic well-being. In recent years Ebola, Zika, influenza, and chikungunya virus epidemics have raised awareness that infections can spread rapidly before vaccines or specific antagonists can be made ...

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Mutagenesis of the conserved 51-nucleotide region of Sindbis virus [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
We have constructed 25 site-specific mutations in a domain of 51 nucleotides in Sindbis virus that is highly conserved among all alphaviruses sequenced to date.

Differential susceptibility of human microglia HMC3 cells and brain microvascular endothelial HBEC-5i cells to Mayaro and Una virus infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Virology
Mayaro (MAYV) and Una (UNAV) are emerging alphaviruses circulating in the Americas. Earlier reports have revealed that MAYV infects different human cell lines, including synovial and dermal fibroblasts, chondrocytes, osteoblasts, astrocytes and pericytes,

Chemokine receptors as important regulators of pathogenesis during arboviral encephalitis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
The central nervous system (CNS) is a highly complex network comprised of long-lived neurons and glial cells. Accordingly, numerous mechanisms have evolved to tightly regulate the initiation of inflammatory responses within the brain.
