Detection of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) in urine of infected mice: a Potential Non-invasive Diagnostic Tool for CHIKV

Journal of Infectious Diseases & Therapy, 2015
Background: The reemergence of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection and the spread of the virus throughout the world call for a fast, reliable, and improved laboratory diagnostic procedures. The aim of this study was to determine if CHIKV genome is present in other body fluids besides plasma as a tool for developing non-invasive diagnostic method ...

Analysis of climatic and seasonal effects on the oviposition activity of Aedes spp. females in municipalities of Paraná, Brazil

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Climate and environmental changes driven by global economic activities directly affect the physiology of insect vectors, such as Aedes spp., accelerating their development, increasing the number of generations per season and increasing the risk of transmission of aetiological agents. This study aimed to analyse how local climatic variables and
