Knockdown of piRNA pathway proteins results in enhanced Semliki forest virus production in mosquito cells [PDF]

, 2013
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

The role of platelets in the pathogenesis of viral hemorrhagic fevers. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHF) are acute zoonotic diseases that, early on, seem to cause platelet destruction or dysfunction. Here we present the four major ways viruses affect platelet development and function and new evidence of molecular factors that ...

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 ...

Toward Dual‐Function Nanoparticle Platforms for Arboviral Diagnostics and Vaccines: Advances, Challenges, and Future Prospects

Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
This review explores nanoparticle (NP)‐based biosensors and nanovaccine platforms for arboviral infections, highlighting their design, performance, and translational potential. By comparing case studies across viruses, it identifies gold‐standard nanomaterials such as gold NPs (AuNPs), zinc oxide NPs (ZnONPs), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanocomposites,

Gouleako and Herbert Viruses in Pigs, Republic of Korea, 2013

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
Several viruses in the family Bunyaviridae are pathogenic to animals and cause vector-borne zoonoses. In 2013, investigation of cause of death of 9 pigs on 1 farm in the Republic of Korea found infection with Gouleako and Herbert viruses.

Molecular Screening of Black Flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) for Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Pathogens, South Moravia, Czech Republic

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 95-106, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...

Morphologic Differentiation of Viruses beyond the Family Level

Viruses, 2014
Electron microscopy has been instrumental in the identification of viruses by being able to characterize a virus to the family level. There are a few cases where morphologic or morphogenesis factors can be used to differentiate further, to the genus ...
