Detection of a new insect flavivirus and isolation of
Background During recent years, numerous novel ‘insect flaviviruses’ have been discovered in natural mosquito populations. In a previous study we described the presence of flavivirus DNA sequences integrated in Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito ...

The 5′ end of eukaryotic mRNA contains the type-1 (m7GpppNm) or type-2 (m7GpppNmNm) cap structure. Many viruses have evolved various mechanisms to develop their own capping enzymes (e.g. flavivirus and coronavirus) or to ‘steal’ caps from host mRNAs (e.g. influenza virus).

Flavivirus Persistence in Wildlife Populations [PDF]
A substantial number of humans are at risk for infection by vector-borne flaviviruses, resulting in considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide. These viruses also infect wildlife at a considerable rate, persistently cycling between ticks/mosquitoes and small mammals and reptiles and non-human primates and humans.

The Flavivirus genus currently includes 53 viral species, most of them transmitted by mosquitoes and tick bites and others with not known vector and specific insect flavivirus. Flaviviruses comprise important arthropod-transmitted human pathogens, including yellow fever virus (YFV), Dengue virus (DENV), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), West Nile ...

Astrocytes in Flavivirus Infections [PDF]
Virus infections of the central nervous system (CNS) can manifest in various forms of inflammation, including that of the brain (encephalitis) and spinal cord (myelitis), all of which may have long-lasting deleterious consequences. Although the knowledge of how different viruses affect neural cells is increasing, understanding of the mechanisms by ...
