New insights into control of arbovirus replication and spread by insect RNA interference pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Arthropod-borne (arbo) viruses are transmitted by vectors, such as mosquitoes, to susceptible vertebrates. Recent research has shown that arbovirus replication and spread in mosquitoes is not passively tolerated but induces host responses to control ...

Sexual transmission of Zika virus and other flaviviruses: A living systematic review

open access: yesPLoS Medicine, 2018
Background Health authorities in the United States and Europe reported an increasing number of travel-associated episodes of sexual transmission of Zika virus (ZIKV) following the 2015–2017 ZIKV outbreak.

FDA-Approved Drugs Efavirenz, Tipranavir, and Dasabuvir Inhibit Replication of Multiple Flaviviruses in Vero Cells

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Vector-borne flaviviruses (VBFs) affect human health worldwide, but no approved drugs are available specifically to treat VBF-associated infections. Here, we performed in silico screening of a library of U.S.

Targeted Lymph Node Immunization with Serotype-Specific Dengue VLP Vaccines Enhances Antibody Avidity and Specificity

open access: yesVaccines
Introduction: Dengue virus (DENV) remains a global health threat, with four distinct serotypes (DENV1-4) that complicate vaccine development due to low-affinity, cross-reactive antibodies that increase the risk of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE ...

Suppression of Type I Interferon Signaling by Flavivirus NS5. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Type I interferon (IFN-I) is the first line of mammalian host defense against viral infection. To counteract this, the flaviviruses, like other viruses, have encoded a variety of antagonists, and use a multi-layered molecular defense strategy to ...

Differentiation enhances Zika virus infection of neuronal brain cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging, mosquito-borne pathogen associated with a widespread 2015-2016 epidemic in the Western Hemisphere and a proven cause of microcephaly and other fetal brain defects in infants born to infected mothers. ZIKV infections have

Flaviviruses of public health concern in South Africa: Present and future threats

open access: yesSouthern African Journal of Infectious Diseases
Background: The resurgence and widespread transmission of flaviviruses over the past few decades are particularly concerning. Aim: This review discusses the structure, aetiology, transmission, detection, diagnosis and prevention strategies for ...

A CRISPR screen defines a signal peptide processing pathway required by flaviviruses

open access: yesNature, 2016
Flaviviruses infect hundreds of millions of people annually, and no antiviral therapy is available. We performed a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9-based screen to identify host genes that, when edited, resulted in reduced flavivirus infection. Here, we validated
