A comparative study of the growth of Sindbis (SIN) virus, a group A arbovirus (togavirus), and Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus, a representative group B arbovirus (togavirus), was conducted in enucleate and nucleate cells. Immunofluorescent tests and yield measurements demonstrated that chicken embryo cells which had been enucleated and subsequently infected with SIN virus produced virus-speci...

En paises americanos, simultaneas a la pandemia de enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) se estan dando epidemias ocasionadas diferentes arbovirus (del dengue, chikunguna y virus del Zika). Mexico, varias las estrategias para control mosquito Aedes aegypti, transmisor arbovirus, involucran interaccion personal salubrista los moradores. Debido COVID-19 han implementado medidas distanciamien...

During the summer of 1993, mosquitoes were collected by dry ice-baited CDC light traps from July through September in 12 different cities in Iowa. In all, 169,907 mosquitoes belonging to 17 different species were collected. A total of 2,013 pools were processed for arbovirus isolation, from which 59 arbovirus isolates were obtained: 41 Flanders (FLA), 16 trivittatus (TVT), one Cache Valley (CV)...

Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) represent an emerging threat to human and livestock health globally. In particular, those transmitted by mosquitoes present the greatest challenges to disease control efforts. An understanding of the molecular basis for mosquito innate immunity to arbovirus infection is therefore critical to investigations regarding arbovirus evolution, virus-vector ecology...

Arbovirus control depends on accurate projections of likely changes in the arthropod vector species, essential to inform local and global public health authorities. According WHO Assembly Global Vector Control Response (GVCR), by 2030, burden vector-borne diseases, particularly arbovirus infections, is expected be greatly decreased. However, anthropogenic drivers, including climate change, inse...

Few studies have investigated the many mosquito species that harbor arboviruses in Kenya. During the 2006-2007 Rift Valley fever outbreak in North Eastern Province, Kenya, exophilic mosquitoes were collected from homesteads within 2 affected areas: Gumarey (rural) and Sogan-Godud (urban). Mosquitoes (n = 920) were pooled by trap location and tested for Rift Valley fever virus and West Nile viru...
