Battle of the Viruses: Aripo Virus Induced Superinfection Exclusion of Mosquito-borne Viruses
Flaviviruses are a single-stranded, positive sense, RNA virus that affect around 400 million people annually. Flaviviruses are transmitted by arthropod vectors, the most common vector being the mosquito. Currently, many mosquito control strategies are in use, these control strategies are diverse in …

Investigation of mosquito (diptera: culicidae)-borne viruses circulating in some selected areas of Lusaka district, Zambia.
Mosquito-borne viruses are RNA viruses cutting across different virus families and genera of emerging and re-emerging viruses that account for millions of disease incidences annually worldwide. Since the circulation of viruses in vectors heralds an outbreak of diseases, this present cross-sectional …

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 …

Modulation of Alphaviruses by Small RNAs
Mosquito-borne diseases remain a significant burden on global public health. Maintenance of mosquito-borne viruses in nature requires a biological transmission cycle that involves alternating virus replication in a susceptible vertebrate and mosquito host. Although infection of the vertebrate host …

New tools for the study of virus-vector interactions in mosquitoes
Mosquito-borne diseases continue to be a burden to global health. The viruses that cause these diseases are maintained in nature through a biological transmission cycle involving susceptible vertebrate and mosquito hosts. While knowledge of the interactions occurring between mosquito-borne viruses …

Characterizing Zika and West Nile virus infection in mast cells and the antibody-dependent enhancement potential mediated by dengue virus antibodies
… mast cells are well-situated to respond to mosquito-borne pathogens. Within the Flavivirus genus, dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), and West Nile virus (WNV) are evolutionarily related mosquito-borne viruses with antigenic similarities. The antigenic similarities present between 4 …

Dynamics of La Crosse virus: Surveillance, Control and Effect on Vector Behavior
… is the most common and important endemic mosquito-borne disease of children in the U.S. with an estimated 300,000 annual infections. The disease is maintained in a zoonotic cycle involving the eastern treehole mosquito, Aedes triseriatus and small woodland mammals such as chipmunks and …

Evidence for RNA interference as an antiviral immune response to alphavirus infection in the mosquitoes Anopheles gambiae and Aedes aegypti
Mosquito-borne viruses remain a serious threat to public health worldwide. A lack of effective vaccines and vector control programs have led to the geographical expansion of the vectors and their associated agents, thereby increasing the percent of the global population that are affected. The …

The Effect of Precipitation on the Spread of Mosquito-Borne Diseases: A Case Study of Florida Counties
… as the fastest growing in the entire country. A mosquito bite may mean the transmission of a virus or disease which might be fatal. Hence, there is a need for the state to control mosquitoes through the various Departments of Mosquito Control in each of its sixty-seven (67) counties. Six locally …

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 …

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 …

The spread and control of dengue and chikungunya viruses
Mosquito-borne viruses such as dengue and chikungunya viruses continue to cause a substantial burden on public health globally. After decades with few tools to tackle the spread of these viruses, new interventions are becoming available. The release of Wolbachia infected mosquitoes has been shown …
