Modification of the Kaolin Serum Treatment Used in the Hemagglutination-Inhibition Test for California Arbovirus Encephalitis [PDF]
Modification of the p H of kaolin-serum treatment produces hemagglutination-inhibition test results comparable with the plaque neutralization test in duck embryo tissue culture; the standard treatment does not.

West Nile Virus Transmission Suitability Modeling for Culex pipiens via Temperature and Humidity
Abstract West Nile Virus (WNV) is the leading cause of mosquito‐borne disease in the United States, yet predicting its transmission remains a significant challenge for public health officials. Many studies use correlative statistical models to predict disease cases using temperature and humidity, but accessible mechanistic approaches that simulate ...

Recent occurence of human infection by Rocio arbovirus in Ribeira Valley, Brazil
The presence of IgM antibodies to Rocio in sera of two children from rural area of Ribeira Valley, Brazil, was detected by MAC-ELISA. This new arbovirus of the Flaviviridae family was responsible for an extensive encephalitis epidemic that occurred in ...

Advances in dissecting mosquito innate immune responses to arbovirus infection [PDF]
Arthropod-borne viruses – arboviruses – are a significant threat to public health. Whilst there is considerable knowledge about arbovirus interactions with vertebrate immunity, relatively little is known about how vectors such as mosquitoes control ...

Abstract With the introduction and adaptation of non‐native mosquitoes to cities, vector‐borne diseases are emerging concerns in the United States of America. A growing body of literature suggests that mosquito infestations and associated diseases are a greater burden in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas within the heterogeneous urban ecosystem ...

ABSTRACT Astrocytes from distinct hippocampal layers exhibit region‐specific morphological traits, which may be influenced by their local microenvironment. During viral encephalitis, these cells undergo dynamic changes that can reflect layer‐specific vulnerability. In this study, we characterized whether astrocytes from different CA3 hippocampal layers

Group B Arbovirus Structural and Nonstructural Antigens I. Serological Identification of Saint Louis Encephalitis Virus Soluble Antigens [PDF]
Saint Louis encephalitis virus-infected cells were solubilized with Brij-58 nonionic detergent, and the clarified supernatant fluid was analyzed by diethyl-aminoethyl-cellulose chromatography. Three serologically distinguishable antigens were identified in viral protein peaks which eluted from diethylaminoethyl-cellulose at 0.05, 0.075, 0 ...
