Mosquito Immunity against Arboviruses
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a significant threat to global health, causing human disease with increasing geographic range and severity. The recent availability of the genome sequences of medically important mosquito species has kick-started investigations into the molecular basis of how mosquito vectors control arbovirus infection. Here, we discuss recent findings concerning the ...
متن کاملA review of selected Arboviruses during pregnancy
Arboviruses are emerging infectious diseases with the ability to expand geographically and rapidly affect large populations. The recent epidemic caused by the Zika virus in the Americas and congenital Zika syndrome associated with maternal infection has called out attention to the importance of studying arboviruses during pregnancy. This is a review on selected arboviruses infections during ges...
متن کاملBiological Control Strategies for Mosquito Vectors of Arboviruses
Historically, biological control utilizes predatory species and pathogenic microorganisms to reduce the population of mosquitoes as disease vectors. This is particularly important for the control of mosquito-borne arboviruses, which normally do not have specific antiviral therapies available. Although development of resistance is likely, the advantages of biological control are that the resourc...
متن کاملLack of evidence for the presence of mosquito-borne arboviruses in the upper Rhine Valley, Germany, in 1999 to 2000.
Several mosquito-borne arboviruses are known in Europe, but only Tahyna virus (Bunyaviridae, Orthobunyavirus) has been isolated in Germany (2, 6, 11). Recently, in 2009, Sindbis virus has also been detected and isolated from 16,057 mosquitoes sampled in Germany (10 Sindbis virus RNA positives, 3 Sindbis virus strains) (3). In two previous years, we have tested a very large number of mosquitoes,...
متن کاملArboviruses and the eye
Arthropod-borne viruses, or arboviruses, are viruses that are transmitted through the bites of mosquitoes and ticks. There are numerous arboviruses throughout the world capable of causing human disease spanning different viral families and genera. Recently, dengue, chikungunya, and zika viruses have emerged as increasingly important arboviruses that can cause human disease, however no specific ...
