Alphaviruses are human pathogens that cause both debilitating acute and chronic musculoskeletal disease and potentially fatal encephalitis. In this study, we determined that two highly conserved phenylalanine residues in the alphavirus E1 glycoprotein ...

Most alphaviruses are transmitted by mosquito vectors and infect a wide range of vertebrate hosts, with a few exceptions. Eilat virus (EILV) in this genus is characterized by a host range restricted to mosquitoes. Its chimeric viruses have been developed

Mannose binding lectin is required for alphavirus-induced arthritis/myositis [PDF]
Mosquito-borne alphaviruses such as chikungunya virus and Ross River virus (RRV) are emerging pathogens capable of causing large-scale epidemics of virus-induced arthritis and myositis.

Role of autophagy during the replication and pathogenesis of common mosquito-borne flavi- and alphaviruses [PDF]
Arboviruses that are transmitted to humans by mosquitoes represent one of the most important causes of febrile illness worldwide. In recent decades, we have witnessed a dramatic re-emergence of several mosquito-borne arboviruses, including dengue virus ...

Arboviruses and the challenge to establish systemic and persistent infections in competent mosquito vectors : the interaction with the RNAi mechanism [PDF]
Arboviruses are capable to establish long-term persistent infections in mosquitoes that do not affect significantly the physiology of the insect vectors. Arbovirus infections are controlled by the RNAi machinery via the production of viral siRNAs and the

Dissection of virus-host cell interactions in the early response to infection [PDF]
Stress granules (SG) are dynamic RNA/protein assemblies in the cytoplasm of the cell, formed under conditions of oxidative stress, heat shock or viral infections.

Circulation of 2 Barmah Forest Virus Lineages in Military Training Areas, Australia
During 2017–2018, Barmah Forest virus was recovered from mosquitoes trapped in military training areas in Australia and from a soldier infected at 1 of these areas.

Replication of the genome of alphaviruses [PDF]
ABSTRACT The genome of Semliki Forest virus (SFV) is 11 442 nucleotides with a 5′ cap-structure and a 3′ poly(A) tail of about 100 residues. The genome of the closely related Sindbis virus (SIN) is slightly longer (11 703 nucleotides). The parental RNA is first translated from the 5′ two thirds to yield; nsPl, nsP2, nsP3 and nsP4, which ...
