Temperate conditions restrict Japanese encephalitis virus infection to the mid-gut and prevents systemic dissemination in Culex pipiens mosquitoes

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus, is the main cause of viral encephalitis in Asia. However, with changing climate JEV has the potential to emerge in novel temperate regions.

Exploiting the Legacy of the Arbovirus Hunters [PDF]

open access: yesViruses, 2019
In recent years, it has become evident that a generational gap has developed in the community of arbovirus research. This apparent gap is due to the dis-investment of training for the next generation of arbovirologists, which threatens to derail the rich history of virus discovery, field epidemiology, and understanding of the richness of diversity that

Blood-meal analysis of Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) reveals a broad host range and new species records for Romania

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Culicoides biting midges are potential vectors of different pathogens. However, especially for eastern Europe, there is a lack of knowledge on the host-feeding patterns of this vector group.

Detection of Tick-Borne Pathogens in Red Deer (Cervus elaphus), United Kingdom

open access: yesPathogens, 2021
Deer represent a major vertebrate host for all feeding stages of the hard tick Ixodes ricinus in the United Kingdom (UK), and could play a role in the persistence of tick-borne pathogens.

Improved detection of genus-specific Alphavirus using a generic TaqMan® assay

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2017
Background Alphaviruses are arthropod borne RNA viruses of medical importance. Geographical expansion of mosquitoes of the Aedes genus in the past decades has been associated with major Alphavirus-associated outbreaks. Climate changes and intensification

NS1 Protein N-Linked Glycosylation Site Affects the Virulence and Pathogenesis of Dengue Virus

open access: yesVaccines, 2023
Live attenuated vaccine is one of the most effective vaccines against flavivirus. Recently, site-directed mutation of the flavivirus genome using reverse genetics techniques has been used for the rapid development of attenuated vaccines.

Reliability of arbovirus cross-reactivity results mapped to antigenic distance.

open access: yes, 2023
Calculated percentage of cases exposed to different arboviruses for which (multi-)(cross-)reactive antibodies were found to viruses listed at the bottom of the panels. The heading of each panel depicts the arbovirus(es) of exposure.

Arbovirus circulation, epidemiology and spatiotemporal distribution in Uganda [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Background: Arboviruses are endemic in Uganda; however, little is known about their epidemiology, seasonality and spatiotemporal distribution. Our study sought to provide information on arbovirus outbreaks from acute clinical presentations.

Targeting Host PIM Protein Kinases Reduces Mayaro Virus Replication

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Mayaro virus (MAYV) manipulates cell machinery to successfully replicate. Thus, identifying host proteins implicated in MAYV replication represents an opportunity to discover potential antiviral targets.

Unintended effects of urban policies on the risk of arbovirus transmission

open access: yes, 2023
: Cities across the USA are implementing urban policies to mitigate unwanted effects of urbanization. These policies may inadvertently promote the proliferation of mosquito vectors.
