Infection order outweighs the role of CD4+ T cells in tertiary flavivirus exposure
iScience, 2022 Summary: The link between CD4+ T and B cells during immune responses to DENV and ZIKV and their roles in cross-protection during heterologous infection is an active area of research.

Zika virus infection reprograms global transcription of host cells to allow sustained infection. [PDF]
, 2017 Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging virus causally linked to neurological disorders, including congenital microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome. There are currently no targeted therapies for ZIKV infection.

Astrocytes in Flavivirus Infections [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 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 ...

Flavivirus Persistence in Wildlife Populations [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 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.

Detection of a new insect flavivirus and isolation of
Parasites & Vectors, 2012 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 ...

Dengue Virus Genome Uncoating Requires Ubiquitination [PDF]
, 2016 The process of genome release or uncoating after viral entry is one of the least-studied steps in the flavivirus life cycle. Flaviviruses are mainly arthropod-borne viruses, including emerging and reemerging pathogens such as dengue, Zika, and West Nile ...
