Neural Infection by Oropouche Virus in Adult Human Brain Slices Induces an Inflammatory and Toxic Response

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Oropouche virus (OROV) is an emerging arbovirus in South and Central Americas with high spreading potential. OROV infection has been associated with neurological complications and OROV genomic RNA has been detected in cerebrospinal fluid from patients ...

Evaluation of Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, and Culex quinquefasciatus Mosquitoes Competence to Oropouche virus Infection

open access: yesViruses, 2021
The emergence of new human viral pathogens and re-emergence of several diseases are of particular concern in the last decades. Oropouche orthobunyavirus (OROV) is an arbovirus endemic to South and Central America tropical regions, responsible to several ...

Deciphering the Hantavirus Host Range Combining Virology and Species Distribution Models with an Emphasis on the Yellow Pygmy Rice Rat (Oligoryzomys flavescens)

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Hantaviruses are the causative agents of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the Americas. In Central and South America, 28 hantavirus lineages were associated with different Sigmodontinae rodents. Of these, Lechiguanas hantavirus was initially described as a lineage associated with HPS cases in the central region of Argentina.

Comparison of surveillance trapping methods to monitor Culicoides biting midge activity in Trinidad, West Indies

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 456-468, December 2022., 2022
Study on a dairy goat farm compared three static trap designs with (a) UV light; (b) incandescent light or (c) semiochemical lure (no light). Sweep netting was used to define diel periodicity. Trap designs A and C collected significantly greater number of Culicoides specimens than trap B; trap C gained highest species richness despite no significant ...

ISG20: an enigmatic antiviral RNase targeting multiple viruses

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 12, Issue 6, Page 1096-1111, June 2022., 2022
ISG20 is a broad antiviral inhibitor and a potent RNase in vitro. However, a precise understanding of its mechanism of action is lacking. In this review, we discuss the latest developments on this fascinating innate defense factor. Interferon‐stimulated gene 20 kDa protein (ISG20) is a relatively understudied antiviral protein capable of inhibiting a ...

Oropouche virus cases identified in Ecuador using an optimised qRT-PCR informed by metagenomic sequencing.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Oropouche virus (OROV) is responsible for outbreaks of Oropouche fever in parts of South America. We recently identified and isolated OROV from a febrile Ecuadorian patient, however, a previously published qRT-PCR assay did not detect OROV in the patient

The evolutionary dynamics of Oropouche Virus (OROV) in South America [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Abstract The Amazon basin is host to numerous arthropod-borne viral pathogens that cause febrile disease in humans. Among these, Oropouche orthobunyavirus (OROV) is a relatively understudied member of the Peribunyavirales that causes periodic outbreaks in human populations in Brazil

Spread of Oropouche Virus into the Central Nervous System in Mouse

open access: yesViruses, 2014
Oropouche virus (OROV) is an important cause of arboviral illness in Brazil and other Latin American countries, with most cases clinically manifested as acute febrile illness referred to as Oropouche fever, including myalgia, headache, arthralgia and ...
