The Role of Temperature in Shaping Mosquito-Borne Viruses Transmission
Mosquito-borne diseases having the greatest impact on human health are typically prevalent in the tropical belt of the world. However, these diseases are conquering temperate regions, raising the question of the role of temperature on their dynamics and ...

Impact of temperature on dengue and chikungunya transmission by the mosquito Aedes albopictus
The mosquito Aedes albopictus is an invasive species first detected in Europe in Albania in 1979, and now established in 28 European countries. Temperature is a limiting factor in mosquito activities and in the transmission of associated arboviruses ...

Knockdown of piRNA pathway proteins results in enhanced Semliki forest virus production in mosquito cells [PDF]
The exogenous siRNA pathway is important in restricting arbovirus infection in mosquitoes. Less is known about the role of the PIWI-interacting RNA pathway, or piRNA pathway, in antiviral responses. Viral piRNA-like molecules have recently been described

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

Sensitivity of Arboviruses to Proteases
Cheng (1958) reported that arboviruses of group B but not of group A were sensitive to proteases. Nicoli & Maydat (1965) apparently confirmed this although other reports suggested that protease sensitivity did not distinguish the groups. Merrill (1936) showed that equine encephalomyelitis virus (group A) was inactivated by chymotrypsin but not by ...
