Vector‐borne diseases

EFSA Journal, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2017., 2017
Abstract After a request from the European Commission, EFSA's Panel on Animal Health and Welfare summarised the main characteristics of 36 vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) in 36 Disease Profiles. The risk of introduction in the EU through movement of livestock or pets was assessed for each of the 36 VBDs individually, using a semiquantitative Method to ...

The Ticks (Arachnida: Acari: Ixodida) of Arkansas [PDF]

, 2016
Although ticks are a nuisance to humans and other animals, they are an important part of the biota of North America. In addition, they are vectors of many tick-borne disease agents that can negatively affect higher vertebrates.

Structural analysis of tumor‐related single amino acid mutations in human MxA protein

Cancer Communications, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 1-11, December 2015., 2015
Abstract Background Human myxovirus resistant protein A (MxA), encoded by the myxovirus resistance 1 (Mx1) gene, is an interferon (IFN)‐triggered dynamin‐like multi‐domain GTPase involved in innate immune responses against viral infections. Recent studies suggest that MxA is associated with several human cancers and may be a tumor suppressor and a ...

Ixodid ticks and tick-borne infections in the Republic of Cuba - literature review and rationale for risk assessment

Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2018
The Republic of Cuba is a popular destination for Russian tourists and about 30-50 thousands of Russian citizens visit Cuba annually. However, the recreational activity is often associated with the risk of Ixodid ticks bites and infection with tick-borne

Rapid Molecular Detection Methods for Arboviruses of Livestock of Importance to Northern Europe

BioMed Research International, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Arthropod‐borne viruses (arboviruses) have been responsible for some of the most explosive epidemics of emerging infectious diseases over the past decade. Their impact on both human and livestock populations has been dramatic. The early detection either through surveillance or diagnosis of virus will be a critical feature in responding and resolving ...

Soluble Host Defense Lectins in Innate Immunity to Influenza Virus

BioMed Research International, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Host defenses against viral infections depend on a complex interplay of innate (nonspecific) and adaptive (specific) components. In the early stages of infection, innate mechanisms represent the main line of host defense, acting to limit the spread of virus in host tissues prior to the induction of the adaptive immune response.

Bourbon Virus in Field-Collected Ticks, Missouri, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
Bourbon virus (BRBV) was first isolated in 2014 from a resident of Bourbon County, Kansas, USA, who died of the infection. In 2015, an ill Payne County, Oklahoma, resident tested positive for antibodies to BRBV, before fully recovering.

Host and viral determinants for MxB restriction of HIV-1 infection [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Interferon-induced cellular proteins play important roles in the host response against viral infection. The Mx family of dynamin-like GTPases, which include MxA and MxB, target a wide variety of viruses.

Characterization of a strain of quaranfil virus isolated from soft ticks in India. Is quaranfil virus an unrecognized cause of disease in human and animals?”

Heliyon, 2019
The soft ticks collected during a field survey in Karnataka state, India, in 1983, yielded a novel virus isolate, which caused mortality in an infant mouse upon inoculation.

Sinu virus, a novel and divergent orthomyxovirus related to members of the genus Thogotovirus isolated from mosquitoes in Colombia

Virology, 2017
The genome and structural organization of a novel insect-specific orthomyxovirus, designated Sinu virus, is described. Sinu virus (SINUV) was isolated in cultures of C6/36 cells from a pool of mosquitoes collected in northwestern Colombia. The virus has six negative-sense ssRNA segments. Genetic analysis of each segment demonstrated the presence of six
