EVOLUTIONARY AND MECHANISTIC INTERACTIONS IN VIRUS TRANSMISSION BY APHIDS
Virus transmission by aphids involves a combination of biological players that have co-evolved over years of interaction: plant hosts, aphid vectors, plant viruses and the aphid’s bacterial endosymbiont. In this interaction, plant hosts activate their immune defenses against plant viruses and …

A tool of "barcoded viruses" to study influenza virus transmission dynamics
… establish a novel version of powerful “barcode viruses” as a tool for studying the replication and transmission dynamics of influenza virus in vitro and in vivo. Five barcoded APR8 viruses were firstly used to investigate infection kinetics (e.g. single- and multi-hit events, particle clumping …

Formulation of Hyaluronidase Enzyme Sensitive Topical Nanomicrobicides for HIV Virus Transmission Prevention
… topical microbicides for the prevention of HIV transmission. In chapter 4, a study was designed to test the hypothesis that a stimuli-sensitive, safe and mucoadhesive thiolated hyaluronic acid (HA) based nanofibers (NFs) loaded with a topical vaginal microbicide (TFV) can be used for the …

Detection and description of influenza a virus transmission in commercial weaned pigs in Illinois, USA
Influenza A virus in swine (IAV-S) is a zoonotic and key pathogen in the swine respiratory disease complex. IAV-S is of particular importance because of the implications on human health, as seen during the 2009 swine flu pandemic. Surveillance of IAV-S is useful in monitoring for mutations that …

The distribution of Longidoroidea (nematoda) in Europe and variation in the morphology, biology and virus transmission of Xiphinema diversicaudatum (Micoletzky, 1927) Thorne, 1939
… mosaic and strawberry latent ringspot (SLRV)viruses were transmitted, each with a different degree of efficiency,by populations of X. diversicaudatum and specificity of transmissionexisted between each virus strain and each nematode population.Different virus source and bait- plants affected …

Disrupting insect-mediated transmission of plant viruses
Many plant viruses are vectored by aphids in the non-persistent mode, in which virus particles are transported on these insects’ specialised piercing mouthparts (stylets). Virus infection can change plant-vector interactions and it is thought that this may accelerate virus transmission. To better …

Host-Bacteria-Virus Interactions in Caenorhabditis elegans
The factors governing transmissibility of viruses between susceptible hosts are not well understood. The discovery of Orsay virus and the experimental tractability of the C. elegans host enables the study of the determinants of virus transmission. Studies from mice and insects have demonstrated …

Dynamics of La Crosse virus: Surveillance, Control and Effect on Vector Behavior
La Crosse virus (LACV) encephalitis 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 …

Rôle des moustiques Culicidae, de leurs communautés microbiennes et des réservoirs vertébrés, dans la transmission des arbovirus à Madagascar
… was available about the local dynamics of the virus transmission and identity of the vector species and vertebrates réservoirs involved. Madagascar island was chosen for its high endemic biodiversity, contrasting climatic conditions and drastic changes in habitats due to an increase anthropic …

Aphids as vectors of peanut mottle virus
… equal distances from a source of peanut mottle virus (PMV). The total number of aphids trapped in these crops are about equal and the reason for this differential percentage infection has not been demonstrated. Known vectors of PMV such as Aphis craccivora (Koch) and Myzus persicae (Sulzer) …

Mechanism of vector resistance in groundnut to control groundnut rosette virus disease in Sub-Saharan Africa
… feeding from the sieve elements. Consequently, virus transmission of all three agents of rosette disease was almost totally absent even under very high pressure of viruliferous aphids. Further investigation of the underlying mechanism of resistance in ICG 12991 showed that the resistance was …

Bloodmeal analysis of urban Western Australian mosquito species for improved public health outcomes
Ross River virus & Barmah Forest virus are the two most prevalent arboviruses in Australia. Bloodmeal studies assist in improving the understanding of disease transmission cycles, which can consequently inform disease mitigation measures. This study involved the capture and analysis of bloodfed …

Impacts of host biology on the urban eco-epidemiology of West Nile virus
Disease transmission is inherently ecological, requiring ecological interactions among vectors, hosts and pathogens. Disease ecology as a field, however, has only emerged within the past several decades. Despite significant advances in the study of ecology of infectious diseases in the past twenty …

Mathematical Modeling of Dengue Viral Infection
… response to each of the four serotypes of dengue virus, secondary infections of dengue put patients at higher risk for more severe infection as opposed to primary infections. The current hypothesis for this phenomenon is antibody-dependent enhancement, where strain-specific antibodies from the …
