MAIT cells are activated in acute Dengue virus infection and after in vitro Zika virus infection. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) are members of the Flaviviridae and are predominantly transmitted via mosquito bites. Both viruses are responsible for a growing number of infections in tropical and subtropical regions.

ProTides for Antiviral Activity Beyond Liver Cells

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A strategy for obtaining prodrugs of antiviral nucleotides with broad tissue activity is presented that relies on cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl esters, improving uptake and esterase cleavage, and producing nanomolar inhibitors in kidney, colon, and lung cells.

Seroprevalence of alphavirus antibodies in a cross-sectional study in southwestern Tanzania suggests endemic circulation of chikungunya. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
BACKGROUND: To date, Alphavirus infections and their most prominent member, chikungunya fever, a viral disease which first became apparent in Tanzania in 1953, have been very little investigated in regions without epidemic occurrence.

Zika virus infection in the returning traveller: what every neurologist should know [PDF]

, 2018
Zika virus has been associated with a wide range of neurological complications. Neurologists in areas without current active transmission of the virus may be confronted with Zika-associated neurological disease, as a large number of returning travellers ...

ZIKV infection activates the IRE1-XBP1 and ATF6 pathways of unfolded protein response in neural cells. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Many viruses depend on the extensive membranous network of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for their translation, replication, and packaging. Certain membrane modifications of the ER can be a trigger for ER stress, as well as the accumulation ...

Does a decision support tool designed to depict West Nile virus risk explain variation in ruffed grouse Bonasa umbellus use of managed forests?

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Infectious diseases are commonly cited as significant contributors to wildlife population declines. It is, therefore, important to investigate the extent to which tools designed to mitigate the effects of infectious diseases explain wildlife responses to habitat management.

Emergence of zoonotic arboviruses by animal trade and migration [PDF]

, 2010
Arboviruses are transmitted in nature exclusively or to a major extend by arthropods. They belong to the most important viruses invading new areas in the world and their occurrence is strongly influenced by climatic changes due to the life cycle of the ...

Maltase 1 regulates DENV2 infection and life history in Aedes aegypti

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Our study employed CRISPR/Cas9 to generate a MAL1 knockout strain of Aedes aegypti, demonstrating that the absence of MAL1 significantly suppresses DENV2 replication in the midgut and impairs viral transmission. The mutation also altered life‐history (hatching/pupation/emerging rates and sex‐specific survival), identifying MAL1 as a novel target for ...

Pregnancy and Zika virus

Акушерство, гинекология и репродукция, 2020
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) in the genus Flavivirus and the Flaviviridae family. In 1947 and 1948 ZIKV was first isolated from a nonhuman primate as well as from mosquitoes in Africa, respectively.

Calf pre-weaning traits and immunoglobulin response to bovine viral diarrhea virus vaccination [PDF]

, 2011
Calfhood vaccination for bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a relatively new concept, and protocols are evolving. Our objective was to determine effects of BVDV type I vaccination protocol, calf behavior (chute score, and chute exit velocity), and ...
