ABSTRACT Dengue virus (DENV) is a major arthropod‐borne pathogen, endemic in over 100 countries and posing global health challenges. While innate immune responses and viral evasion mechanisms have been extensively studied in animal models and mononuclear cells, severe dengue can affect multiple tissues, including the central nervous system (CNS ...

Mosquitoborne Viruses, Czech Republic, 2002
Specimens from residents (n = 497) of an area affected by the 2002 flood were examined serologically for mosquitoborne viruses. Antibodies were detected against Tahyna (16%), Sindbis (1%), and Batai (0.2%) viruses, but not West Nile virus. An examination

Sindbis virus proteins nsP1 and nsP2 contain homology to nonstructural proteins from several RNA plant viruses [PDF]
Although the genetic organization of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) differs considerably from that of the tripartite viruses (alfalfa mosaic virus [AlMV] and brome mosaic virus [BMV]), all of these RNA plant viruses share three domains of homology among ...

Phospholipid Synthesis in Sindbis Virus-Infected Cells [PDF]
We investigated the metabolic requirements for the decrease in phospholipid synthesis previously observed by Pfefferkorn and Hunter in primary cultures of chick embryo fibroblasts infected with Sindbis virus. The incorporation of 32 PO 4 into all classes of phospholipids was found to decline ...

Mapping the Habitat Suitability of Culex pipiens in Europe Using Ensemble Bioclimatic Modelling
ABSTRACT Aim Anthropogenic pressure on natural ecosystems has profoundly influenced the dynamics of disease vectors, altering their distribution, phenology, and increasing the risk of vector‐borne diseases. This study aims to investigate the climatic and environmental determinants of Culex pipiens distribution in continental Europe, to inform and ...

Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities
ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

Region-specific dendritic simplification induced by Aβ, mediated by tau via dysregulation of microtubule dynamics: a mechanistic distinct event from other neurodegenerative processes. [PDF]
BackgroundDendritic simplification, a key feature of the neurodegenerative triad of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in addition to spine changes and neuron loss, occurs in a region-specific manner.

Extracellular Vesicles in Arthropods: Biogenesis, Functions, Isolation Methods and Applications
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound nanoparticles secreted by cells that are involved in multiple forms of intercellular communication and show promising potential for biotechnological applications. Arthropod‐derived EV research remains relatively fragmented in contrast to the extensively studied mammalian EV field. In this review,

Microassay for Sindbis virus and interferon activity [PDF]
A simple and rapid microplaque assay for Sindbis virus was developed which uses microtiter plates and overlay medium consisting of methylcellulose and specific antibody to Sindbis virus. Discrete plaque formation was consistently observed on baby hamster kidney (BHK-15) cells within 24 h. The assay was reproducible, quantitative, and had about the same
