Seropositivity to Dengue, Zika, Yellow Fever, and West Nile Viruses in Senegal, West Africa. [PDF]
J Med VirolABSTRACT West Africa serves as a critical region for the co‐circulation of mosquito‐borne flaviviruses, which often precipitate sporadic outbreaks. This study investigated the seropositivity to dengue virus serotypes 1–4 (DENV‐1–4), Zika virus (ZIKV), yellow fever virus (YFV), and West Nile virus (WNV) in three regions of Senegal: Sindia, Thies, and ...

Recombinant Envelope-Proteins with Mutations in the Conserved Fusion Loop Allow Specific Serological Diagnosis of Dengue-Infections [PDF]
, 2015 Dengue virus (DENV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus and a major international public health concern in many tropical and sub-tropical areas worldwide. DENV is divided into four major serotypes, and infection with one serotype leads to immunity against the

Viruses in sanctuary chimpanzees across Africa
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 85, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Infectious disease is a major concern for both wild and captive primate populations. Primate sanctuaries in Africa provide critical protection to thousands of wild‐born, orphan primates confiscated from the bushmeat and pet trades. However, uncertainty about the infectious agents these individuals potentially harbor has important implications ...

Evolution of viral pathogens follows a linear order [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, Vol. 10, No. 1, pp. e01655-21, 2022, 2022 Although lessons have been learned from previous severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) outbreaks, the rapid evolution of the viruses means that future outbreaks of a much larger scale are possible, as shown by the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak.

ELECTROPHORESIS, Volume 43, Issue 23-24, Page 2402-2427, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Nucleic acids are the blueprint of life. They are not only the construction plan of the single cell or higher associations of them, but also necessary for function, communication and regulation. Due to the pandemic, the attention shifted in particular to their therapeutic potential as a vaccine. As pharmaceutical oligonucleotides are unique in
