Human Usutu Virus Infections in Europe: A New Risk on Horizon?

Viruses, 2022
The Usutu virus (USUV), a neurotropic mosquito-borne flavivirus discovered in 1959 in South Africa, has spread over the last twenty years across the European continent. This virus follows an enzootic cycle involving mosquitoes and birds.

Mosquito immune responses to arbovirus infections. [PDF]

Curr Opin Insect Sci, 2014
The principal mosquito innate immune response to virus infections, RNA interference (RNAi), differs substantially from the immune response to bacterial and fungal infections. The exo-siRNA pathway constitutes the major anti-arboviral RNAi response and its essential genetic components have been identified.

Interactions between seasonal temperature variation and temporal synchrony drive increased arbovirus co-infection incidence

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
Though instances of arthropod-borne (arbo)virus co-infection have been documented clinically, the overall incidence of arbovirus co-infection and its drivers are not well understood.

Control of Acute Arboviral Infection by Natural Killer Cells

Viruses, 2019
The recent explosive pandemic of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) followed by Zika (ZIKV) virus infections occurring throughout many countries represents the most unexpected arrival of arthropod-borne viral diseases in the past 20 years. Transmitted through the

Arbovirus infection increases with group size [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001
Buggy Creek (BCR) virus is an arthropod-borne alphavirus that is naturally transmitted to its vertebrate host the cliff swallow (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) by an invertebrate vector, namely the cimicid swallow bug (Oeciacus vicarius). We examined how the prevalence of the virus varied with the group size of both its vector and host.

syndrome in endemic areas of arbovirus transmission: A multinational case‐control study [PDF]

, 2021
Half of the world's population is at risk of arthropod‐borne virus (arbovirus) infections. Several arbovirus infections have been associated with Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS). We investigated whether arboviruses are driving GBS beyond epidemic phases of

Tissue Barriers to Arbovirus Infection in Mosquitoes [PDF]

Viruses, 2015
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) circulate in nature between arthropod vectors and vertebrate hosts. Arboviruses often cause devastating diseases in vertebrate hosts, but they typically do not cause significant pathology in their arthropod vectors.

Etiology of severe non-malaria febrile illness in Northern Tanzania: a prospective cohort study. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
The syndrome of fever is a commonly presenting complaint among persons seeking healthcare in low-resource areas, yet the public health community has not approached fever in a comprehensive manner.

Novel approaches for the rapid development of rationally designed arbovirus vaccines

One Health, 2023
Vector-borne diseases, including those transmitted by mosquitoes, account for more than 17% of infectious diseases worldwide. This number is expected to rise with an increased spread of vector mosquitoes and viruses due to climate change and man-made ...

Immune response to arbovirus infection in obesity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Obesity is a global health problem that affects 650 million people worldwide and leads to diverse changes in host immunity. Individuals with obesity experience an increase in the size and the number of adipocytes, which function as an endocrine organ and release various adipocytokines such as leptin and adiponectin that exert wide ranging effects on ...
