Baseline Seroprevalence of Arboviruses in Liberia Using a Multiplex IgG Immunoassay

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
Insect-borne viruses may account for a significant proportion of non-malaria and non-bacterial febrile illnesses in Liberia. Although the presence of many arthropod vectors has been documented, the collective burden of arbovirus infections and baseline ...

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Stewardship of Molecular Diagnostics in Transplant Viral Infections

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transplant environment requires special considerations when testing for viral infections as immunosuppression results in atypical infection profiles. Microbes otherwise considered commensals or causing mild disease can lead to severe infections in transplant environments. Therefore, guidelines tend to recommend broader microbial testing in

Ecology of arboviruses and their potential mosquito vectors in Benin, Côte d’Ivoire and Gabon: a mini review

Frontiers in Tropical Diseases
Mosquito-borne arboviral zoonoses are an increasingly (re-)emerging threat for millions of people in endemic countries of Africa. Aedes-transmitted yellow fever (YF), dengue (DEN), chikungunya (CHIK), and Zika (ZIK) viruses, as well as Aedes- and Culex ...

Zika virus surveillance post‐epidemic in blood donors from São Paulo, Brazil 2016–2020

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Zika virus (ZIKV) is primarily transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, though transmission via blood transfusion has also been documented. During the 2015 ZIKV epidemic in Brazil, severe complications were observed in pregnant women, leading to fetal microcephaly. This study evaluated the persistence of ZIKV in

A blood safety perspective on emerging arboviral infections in the United Kingdom

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract A core focus of the blood services is to maintain the blood supply whilst simultaneously being vigilant for potential threats to blood safety. At present, West Nile virus (WNV), Usutu virus (USUV), Dengue virus (DENV) and Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) are considered primary arboviral threats to blood safety in the UK and Northern Europe.

Dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus surveillance in blood donors in Brazil, 2019–2021

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Arbovirus infections are a major public health concern in Brazil and an ongoing blood safety concern. Periodic outbreaks of such infections are common in the general population. This study aimed to establish the rates of dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus (DENV, CHIKV, ZIKV) RNAemia among blood donors at six public ...

Postinfection therapy of arbovirus infections in mice [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1989
Most antiviral agents are efficacious prophylactically in vivo, and a few are efficacious for postinfection (p.i.) therapy. To explore possibilities for p.i. therapy of encephalogenic Banzi virus (BZV) and Semliki Forest virus infections in mice, we evaluated candidate antiviral therapies after development of the first clinical signs of infection.
