The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Development of a Novel Aedes aegypti Repellent: An Integrated Approach Combining In Silico and Bioassays

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
OBP1 plays an essential role in the behavior response of Aedes aegypti. The computational approaches employed herein suggest a compound with repellency activity in the ZINC database, which was confirmed by bioassays. ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti is the most important vector of arboviruses, which are responsible for 3.9 billion cases worldwide.

Reemergence of Chikungunya Virus in Cambodia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), probably Asian genotype, was first detected in Cambodia in 1961. Despite no evidence of acute or recent CHIKV infections since 2000, real-time reverse transcription PCR of serum collected in 2011 detected CHIKV, East Central South African genotype.

Vaccine-induced skewing of T cell responses protects against Chikungunya virus disease [PDF]

, 2019
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infections can cause severe and debilitating joint and muscular pain that can be long lasting. Current CHIKV vaccines under development rely on the generation of neutralizing antibodies for protection; however, the role of T ...
