Genotypic and Phenotypic Determinants of Japanese Encephalitis Virus Geographical Expansion
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) consists of at least four geographically and epidemiologically distinct genotypes (GI-IV). Genotypes II and IV have been isolated in tropical Asia only, and GI has recently replaced GIII as the dominant JEV genotype throughout Asia. Therefore, the objective of this …

Usutu Virus: An Emerging Arbovirus Threat
Mosquito-borne viruses, such as dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), yellow fever virus (YFV), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), and West Nile virus (WNV) are major threats to global public health resulting in millions of infections and hundreds of thousands of deaths …

The Structural Basis of Flaviviridae Interaction with Antibodies and Receptors
… are a family of enveloped, positive-stranded RNA viruses responsible for a variety of diseases including encephalitis, hemorrhagic fever and hepatocellular carcinoma. The envelope: E) proteins that coat the outer surface of these viruses provide the molecular machinery that drives receptor …

Generation and Characterization of Flavivirus Receptor-Binding Domain Mutants and Chimeras
Flaviviruses are positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses responsible for millions of infections annually. Primarily transmitted by ticks and mosquitoes, their associated diseases range from mild febrile infections to encephalitis and hemorrhagic fever. The molecular basis of the differences in …

Mechanistic analysis of the Zika virus translation-replication switch
The genomes of positive-sense RNA viruses are required for both translation and replication during infection. These two processes are antagonistic in nature, each requiring the RNA template in opposite directions. Thus, the balance between these processes during infection must be tightly regulated. …

West Nile virus vaccination protects against Usutu virus disease in mice
Mosquito-borne viruses, including dengue virus (DENV), Usutu virus (USUV), West Nile virus (WNV), and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), are rapidly emerging, global pathogens. Though the number of people impacted by each virus varies, there have been thousands to millions of people infected. The …

PART I CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A DIMERIZATION DOMAIN OF DROSOPHILA CAPRIN. PART II CHARACTERIZATION OF TWO CAS13B CRISPR-CAS SYSTEMS FROM PORPHYROMONAS GINGIVALIS
… SH3 domain-binding protein 1 (G3BP1), and the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) core protein. We have determined the crystal structures of a fragment (residues 187-309) of Drosophila Melanogaster Caprin (dCaprin), which mediates homodimerization through a substantial interface created by a …

Cross-protection from St. Louis encephalitis virus and Usutu virus disease by human West Nile virus convalescent plasma in mice
West Nile virus (WNV), Saint Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV), and Usutu virus (USUV) are emerging mosquito-borne flaviviruses. These viruses are phylogenetically closely related and belong to the Japanese encephalitis serocomplex group. Similar to other flaviviruses, these viruses are enveloped, …

Population Structure of Yellow Fever Virus: Influence of Viral Diversity on Vaccine Attenuation
Yellow fever virus (YFV) is the prototype of all arthropod-borne viruses, the study of which encompasses some of the landmark paradigm shifts in modern vaccinology. Recently, studies on the lifecycle of RNA viruses have indicated that population structure of these viruses is in many cases complex, …
