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 …

Determining the Pathogenesis and Enzootic Transmission of Usutu Virus
Usutu virus (USUV) is an emerging zoonotic virus within the Flaviviridae family that can cause neurological disease in humans and wild birds. USUV is maintained in an enzootic cycle between wild birds, primarily passerine species, and ornithophilic mosquitoes, predominantly Culex spp. mosquitoes. …

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 …

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, …

Within Host and Multiscale Models of Usutu and SARS-CoV-2 Viral Infections with Animal Hosts
… explores the relationship between within-host virus dynamics, the environment and the between-host viral transmission. We will validate the models against data from SARS-CoV-2 infections, and data from infections with an emerging pathogen, the Usutu virus. Our models of SARS-CoV-2 infection …

Mathematical models of immune responses during external challenges and autoimmunity
… models were validated against longitudinal virus or immune cell and marker data. The immune response is the body's mechanism for protecting itself against foreign pathogens (e.g., viruses, bacteria, fungi, toxins) or substances it deems harmful. It consists of the innate (non-specific) …
