ABSTRACT Ectoparasites that penetrate host skin can act as biological or mechanical vectors for pathogens and, in some cases, serve as reservoirs. Crustacean ectoparasites of fish are potential vectors of pathogens, which is especially relevant for obligate pathogens (e.g., Aeromonas salmonicida) with limited seawater survival. Sea lice (Lepeophtheirus

Self-Replicating Alphaviruses: From Pathogens to Therapeutic Agents
Alphaviruses are known for being model viruses for studying cellular functions related to viral infections but also for causing epidemics in different parts of the world.

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 ...

Dengue Virus Capsid Protein Interaction With Nucleic Acids
Binding of dengue virus capsid protein (DENV C) to ssDNA alters Trp fluorescence intensity, lifetime, and anisotropy, revealing structural rearrangements in the complex and suggesting a possible association with liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS). ABSTRACT Dengue virus (DENV) transmission has greatly increased in the last decade, partly due to the ...

Mapping of RNA- temperature-sensitive mutants of Sindbis virus: assignment of complementation groups A, B, and G to nonstructural proteins [PDF]
Four complementation groups of temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of Sindbis virus that fail to make RNA at the nonpermissive temperature are known, and we have previously shown that group F mutants have defects in nsP4.

Novel drugs approved by the EMA, the FDA and the MHRA in 2025: A year in review
Abstract In the 2025 novel drug mini‐review, one can take a full measure of the ingenuity that underlies current drug design and development, despite the year's smaller harvest (46 novel drugs) compared to 2024 (53) and 2023 (70). 54% of the novel drugs are first‐in‐class (FIC).

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

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 ...
