Intersecting Threats: Exploring Obesity's Impact on Viral Pathogenesis and Transmission
… to aggravate disease outcomes of respiratory viruses like severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and mosquito-borne viruses like West Nile Virus (WNV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and Mayaro virus (MAYV) and reduce the vaccine efficacy for influenza and SARS-CoV-2. Obesity …

Mechanisms of Emerging RNA Virus Adaptation to Hosts
Emerging RNA viruses cause acute and chronic diseases that threaten the livelihoods of people in regions where the virus is endemic. As factors such as climate change and increased globalization, travel, and trade alter the co-occurrence of humans and reservoirs or vectors, opportunities for viral …

Discrete and continuous mathematical investigation of juvenile mosquito dynamics
… which transmit infections such as dengue, Zika, Mayaro virus, and La Crosse virus. Curtailing these diseases is a good reason to consider control of mosquito populations. However, mosquitoes are quite hardy and spraying of pesticides is typically a short-term solution. Thus, more long-term …

Cross-reactivity among alphaviruses provides insight into viral emergence and novel defense strategies
Alphaviruses are a group of medically relevant arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) belonging to the Togaviridae family that are maintained by mosquito vectors. These zoonotic viruses are clustered into two groups: New World and Old World, depending on their geographical origin/distribution and …
