Oxidative stress in Mayaro virus infection

Virus Research, 2017
Mayaro virus (MAYV) is a neglected tropical arbovirus that causes a febrile syndrome that is sometimes accompanied by incapacitating arthritis/arthralgia. The pathogenesis of MAYV has not been completely defined and oxidative stress mediated by an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and/or depletion of antioxidant defences has been found to ...

Unexpected arboviruses found in an epidemiological surveillance of acute tropical febrile syndrome in the department of Meta, Eastern Colombia

Journal of Infection and Public Health
Background: Nonspecific acute tropical febrile illnesses (NEATFI) are common in the Latin American tropics. Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, Mayaro, and Usutu, among others, can coexist in the American tropics.

Mayaro virus pathogenesis and immunity in rhesus macaques

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
Mayaro virus (MAYV) is a mosquito-transmitted alphavirus that causes debilitating and persistent arthritogenic disease. While MAYV was previously reported to infect non-human primates (NHP), characterization of MAYV pathogenesis is currently lacking. Therefore, in this study we characterized MAYV infection and immunity in rhesus macaques. To inform the

Anopheles mosquitoes may drive invasion and transmission of Mayaro virus across geographically diverse regions. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
The Togavirus (Alphavirus) Mayaro virus (MAYV) was initially described in 1954 from Mayaro County (Trinidad) and has been responsible for outbreaks in South America and the Caribbean.

Impact of bauxite mining on mosquito communities (Diptera: Culicidae) and pathogen transmission risks in the eastern Amazon

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Bauxite mining in the Amazon alters mosquito communities, favouring anthropophilic and generalist vectors while reducing species diversity and the variety of blood meal sources. Molecular analyses identified humans, tapirs and deer as the primary blood meal sources.

Abundance and species diversity of mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae) in endemic areas for arboviruses in the Eastern Amazon, Brazil Abundância e diversidade de espécies de mosquitos (Diptera, Culicidae) em áreas endêmicas para arboviroses na Amazônia Oriental, Brasil

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A total of 3671 adult specimens of Culicidae were identified, comprising 35 species distributed across 11 genera. Species of the genera Anopheles, Aedes, Psorophora, Haemagogus, Culex, Coquillettidia and Mansonia were identified in both localities and are considered of medical and epidemiological importance in the transmission of arboviruses ...

Neutralising antibodies for Mayaro virus in Pantanal, Brazil [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2015
The Pantanal hosts diverse wildlife species and therefore is a hotspot for arbovirus studies in South America. A serosurvey for Mayaro virus (MAYV), eastern (EEEV), western (WEEV) and Venezuelan (VEEV) equine encephalitis viruses was conducted with 237 sheep, 87 free-ranging caimans and 748 equids, including 37 collected from a ranch where a neurologic
