Nicotiana benthamiana as a Source of Cowpea Mosaic Virus‐Derived Particles That Specifically Package Designer RNAs

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The coupling of replication and encapsidation in the bipartite plant virus, cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV), has been used to specifically incorporate designer RNA molecules into viral particles via transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana. This is achieved by placing the desired RNA sequence between the 5′ and 3′ UTRs of CPMV RNA‐2 so that ...

Zika virus surveillance post‐epidemic in blood donors from São Paulo, Brazil 2016–2020

open access: yesTransfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Zika virus (ZIKV) is primarily transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, though transmission via blood transfusion has also been documented. During the 2015 ZIKV epidemic in Brazil, severe complications were observed in pregnant women, leading to fetal microcephaly. This study evaluated the persistence of ZIKV in

A blood safety perspective on emerging arboviral infections in the United Kingdom

open access: yesTransfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract A core focus of the blood services is to maintain the blood supply whilst simultaneously being vigilant for potential threats to blood safety. At present, West Nile virus (WNV), Usutu virus (USUV), Dengue virus (DENV) and Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) are considered primary arboviral threats to blood safety in the UK and Northern Europe.

Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices and Perceptions of the Eco‐Bio‐Social Determinants of Dengue Transmission in São Paulo, Brazil: A Mixed‐Methods Study

open access: yesTropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Dengue is a mosquito‐borne disease prevalent in Latin America and the Caribbean. Transmission is determined by ecological, biological and social (eco‐bio‐social) factors. Understanding the knowledge, attitudes, practices and perceptions of dengue's eco‐bio‐social factors among at‐risk populations is essential for dengue prevention.
