Evolution and Epidemiology of Chikungunya Virus

, 2016
Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne Alphavirus that is spreading worldwide in the tropical areas and that has a 11.8 kb RNA genome. The most relevant vectors belong to the genus Aedes and contribute to the diffusion of the three different genotypes of the virus from the original site of first identification in East Africa.

Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Heritable IFNAR1 Deficiency in Oceania

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive interferon alpha and beta receptor subunit 1 (IFNAR1) deficiency is a rare and heritable inborn error of immunity (IEI) predisposing individuals to severe and life‐threatening viral infections. It is more common in people of Western Polynesian ancestry, with estimates of around one in six thousand live births affected, due ...

Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...
