Predicting wildlife reservoirs and global vulnerability to zoonotic Flaviviruses. [PDF]
Flaviviruses continue to cause globally relevant epidemics and have emerged or re-emerged in regions that were previously unaffected. Factors determining emergence of flaviviruses and continuing circulation in sylvatic cycles are incompletely understood.

30 years of fatal dengue cases in Brazil: a review
Background Over the last 30 years, extensive dengue epidemics have occurred in Brazil, characterized by emergences and re-emergences of different serotypes, a change in the epidemiological profile and an increase in the number of severe and fatal cases ...

TRIMming Flavivirus Infection [PDF]
Tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins are novel players in antiviral innate immunity. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe,Taylor et al. (2011) discover the mechanism of action of TRIM79α and show that this interferon-induced protein restricts tick-borne flaviviruses by targeting the viral polymerase for degradation.

The dual regulation of apoptosis by Flavivirus [PDF]
Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death, which maintains cellular homeostasis by eliminating pathogen-infected cells. It contains three signaling pathways: death receptor pathway, mitochondria-mediated pathway and endoplasmic reticulum pathway. Its importance in host defenses is highlighted by the observation that many viruses evade, hinder or ...

An optimal control model of mosquito reduction management in a dengue endemic region [PDF]
Aedes aegypti is known as the responsible vector transmitting dengue flavivirus. Unavailability of medication to cure the transmission of the virus in the human blood becomes a global health issue in recent decades. World epidemiologists are encouraged to focus on the investigation over the effective and inexpensive way to prevent dengue transmission ...
