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, …

Behavioral Ecology and Associated Virology of Mosquito-Host Interactions in Southern California
<p>Elucidating characteristics of mosquito-host interactions are critical for understanding the ecology and epidemiology of mosquito-borne diseases. In this dissertation, I conducted three studies to explore potential mosquito-host interactions and associated virus infection rates. I first …

The Structural Basis of Flaviviridae Interaction with Antibodies and Receptors
Flaviviridae 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 …

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 …

Luminex Microsphere Immunoassay Offers an Improved Method in Testing for Antibodies to Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus in Sentinel Chicken Sera
Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus has a human mortality rate of 30% of those cases diagnosed, while 30% of those surviving infection remain with neurological sequelae for life (CDC.gov, 2007). The use of sentinel chickens for surveillance of arboviruses that are known to use birds as a reservoir …

Improved estimates of risk of exposure to pathogens transmitted by mosquitoes
… illnesses are increasing, but the understanding of the effect of exposure to mosquitoes on the variability of risk has not always been clear. The risk of exposure to mosquito-borne pathogens is complicated by the transmission cycle of the pathogen, the dynamic nature of conditions that …
