ABSTRACT The coupling of replication and encapsidation in the bipartite plant virus, cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV), has been used to specifically incorporate designer RNA molecules into viral particles via transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana. This is achieved by placing the desired RNA sequence between the 5′ and 3′ UTRs of CPMV RNA‐2 so that ...

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

Blood donor West Nile virus screening identifies three autochthonous Usutu virus infections in Spain
Abstract Background Considering the increase of West Nile virus (WNV) circulation in Europe, blood banks perform WNV Nucleic Acid Test testing to ensure transfusion safety during the WNV transmission season. Usutu virus (USUV), an arbovirus related to WNV, has relevant molecular and serological cross‐reactivity with WNV. Study Design and Methods During

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