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 ...

Seeking Flavivirus Cross-Protective Immunity
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 The Flavivirus genus is composed by viral serocomplexes with relevant global epidemiological impact. Many areas of the world present both, vector fauna and geographical conditions compatible with co-circulation, importing, emergence, and epidemics of ...

A mosquito salivary protein promotes flavivirus transmission by activation of autophagy
Nature Communications, 2020 Transmission from an infected mosquito to a host is an essential process in the life cycle of mosquito-borne flaviviruses. Numerous studies have demonstrated that mosquito saliva facilitates viral transmission. Here we find that a saliva-specific protein,

Anti-flavivirus Properties of Lipid-Lowering Drugs
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Although Flaviviruses such as dengue (DENV) and zika (ZIKV) virus are important human pathogens, an effective vaccine or antiviral treatment against them is not available. Hence, the search for new strategies to control flavivirus infections is essential.

Role of Endoplasmic Reticulum-Associated Proteins in Flavivirus Replication and Assembly Complexes
Pathogens, 2019 Flavivirus replication in host cells requires the formation of replication and assembly complexes on the cytoplasmic side of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. These complexes consist of an ER membrane, viral proteins, and host proteins.

Flaviviruses: Innate Immunity, Inflammasome Activation, Inflammatory Cell Death, and Cytokines
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 The innate immune system is the host’s first line of defense against the invasion of pathogens including flavivirus. The programmed cell death controlled by genes plays an irreplaceable role in resisting pathogen invasion and preventing pathogen ...
