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

Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes do not support replication of Zika virus [PDF]
The rapid spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) in the Americas raised many questions about the role of Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes in transmission, in addition to the key role played by the vector Aedes aegypti.

New adhesive traps to monitor urban mosquitoes with a case study to assess the efficacy of insecticide control strategies in temperate areas [PDF]
Background: Urban mosquitoes in temperate regions may represent a high nuisance and are associated with the risk of arbovirus transmission. Common practices to reduce this burden, at least in Italian highly infested urban areas, imply calendar-based ...

Targeting Host PIM Protein Kinases Reduces Mayaro Virus Replication
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.

Arbovirus emergence in the temperate city of Córdoba, Argentina, 2009-2018 [PDF]
The distribution of arbovirus disease transmission is expanding from the tropics and subtropics into temperate regions worldwide. The temperate city of Córdoba, Argentina has been experiencing the emergence of dengue virus, transmitted by the mosquito ...

Mayaro virus (MAYV) hijacks the host’s cell machinery to effectively replicate. The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) p38, JNK, and ERK1/2 have emerged as crucial cellular factors implicated in different stages of the viral cycle.

Broad Antiviral Activity of Ginkgolic Acid against Chikungunya, Mayaro, Una, and Zika Viruses
The alphaviruses Chikungunya (CHIKV), Mayaro (MAYV), Una (UNAV), and the flavivirus Zika (ZIKV) are emerging or re-emerging arboviruses which are responsible for frequent epidemic outbreaks. Despite the large impact of these arboviruses on health systems,

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 ...

Avian Malaria Among House Sparrows: a Survey of Disease and Mosquito Vectors (Diptera: Culicidae) in Reed City, Michigan [PDF]
Nine of 350 house sparrows caught in Reed City, Michigan, had malaria parasites detectable on Giemsa-stained thin films. All of the infected birds were juveniles, Parasitemias were too low to permit identification of the Plasmodium present. Collection of
