First report of the ticks Haemaphysalis punctata Canestrini et Fanzago, 1878, Haemaphysalis parva (Neumann, 1897) and Dermacentor marginatus (Sulzer, 1776) (Acari, Amblyommidae) from humans in Lebanon [PDF]

, 2020
Purpose: Knowledge on ticks infesting humans is scarce for the middle East. In this work, tick specimens (Acari: Amblyommidae) infesting humans in Lebanon were identified.

A Pyrido‐Quinoxaline Derivative That Downregulates Reticulon 3 Protein Exhibits Potent Antiviral Activity Against Zika Virus

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT In the wake of the COVID‐19 pandemic, awareness of emerging pathogens has significantly increased, prompting greater investment in research and preparedness. In this context, arboviral diseases are recognized as unmet medical challenges due to their rapid spread. Notably, the geographical range of several flaviviral diseases is expanding: Zika

Lettuce Big‐Vein Associated Virus ORF3 Encodes a Functional 30K Movement Protein

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2025.
AlphaFold2 + FoldSeek structure guided search predicts the movement protein of lettuce big‐vein associated virus despite low sequence similarity. ABSTRACT Movement proteins (MPs) modulate the size exclusion limit of plasmodesmata—membrane‐lined channels connecting plant cells—thereby allowing cell‐to‐cell movement and systemic spread of plant viruses ...

Medicinal Plant‐Derived Caffeoylquinic Acids as Inhibitors of Rift Valley Fever Virus: A Computational Study

ChemistrySelect, Volume 10, Issue 12, March 26, 2025.
Caffeoylquinic acids derived from medicinal plants were evaluated for their potential as inhibitors of the Rift Valley Fever Virus, specifically targeting the LRP1‐CR17 protein. The study employed DFT, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations to analyze these compounds. The results showed strong binding affinities to the LRP1‐CR17 receptor,

Inter-Epidemic Transmission of Rift Valley Fever in\ud Livestock in the Kilombero River Valley, Tanzania:\ud A Cross-Sectional Survey [PDF]

, 2013
In recent years, evidence of Rift Valley fever (RVF) transmission during inter-epidemic periods in parts of Africa has increasingly been reported. The inter-epidemic transmissions generally pass undetected where there is no surveillance in the livestock ...

Natural hosts and animal models for Rift Valley fever phlebovirus

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Rift Valley fever phlebovirus (RVFV) is a zoonotic mosquito-transmitted arbovirus, presenting a serious threat to humans and animals. Susceptible hosts are of great significance for the prevention of RVFV. Appropriate animal models are helpful to better understand the onset and development of diseases, as well as the control measures and vaccine ...

Establishment of an Early Prediction Model for Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome‐Associated Encephalitis

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease primarily transmitted by ticks. The development of encephalitis in SFTS patients significantly increases the risk of adverse outcomes. However, the understanding of SFTS‐associated encephalitis (SFTSAE) is still limited. This study aimed to identify

Seroepidemiology of phlebovirus infections in Croatia, 2017-2018 [PDF]

, 2019
Phleboviruses belong to a large group of arboviruses that are transmitted to humans by sandflies. Infections by these viruses in humans manifest as a febrile disease, so-called “three- day fever” (“Pappataci fever”), while Toscana virus (TOSV) may cause neuroinvasive disease.
