Flaviviruses are enveloped, arthropod-borne, positive-strand RNA viruses that cause significant human disease. While the basic mechanisms of flavivirus entry and fusion are understood, little is known about the postfusion events that precede RNA repl...
The cosmopolitan insect-pathogenic fungus and popular biocontrol agent Beauveria bassiana can be used to control Anopheles mosquito populations and restrict the spread of malaria, the deadliest vector-borne infectious disease in the world caused by t...
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an arthropod-borne emerging pathogen causing febrile illness. ZIKV is associated with the Guillain–Barré syndrome and other neurological complications. The vertical transmission of ZIKV can cause fetus demise, stillb...
Papaya sticky disease (PSD) is a severe disease that can destroy papaya trees. PSD is associated with a complex formed between a toti-like virus, Papaya meleira virus (PMeV), and an umbra-like virus—Papaya meleira virus 2 (PMeV2). PSD symptoms...
Negeviruses (NVs) are a recently discovered taxon of enveloped, positive sense, single-stranded RNA viruses, infecting blood-sucking insects. While classical arthropod-borne (arbo)viruses like dengue and Chikungunya infect both insects and vertebrat...
Introduction: Pyroptosis (inflammatory programmed cell death) is induced after the activation of an inflammasome, ultimately resulting in pore formation and cell lysis. One factor in the pathology associated with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infec...
Marburg virus (MARV) presents with a hemorrhagic fever in primates but asymptomatically in its known reservoir, the Egyptian rousette bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus, ERB). Understanding the biological mechanisms that explain these differential outcomes c...
The human metapneumovirus (HMPV), a member of the Pneumoviridae family, is a major cause of respiratory illness, primarily in young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. Having a fundamental understanding of the viral evasion of i...
Many viruses transmitted by blood-sucking arthropods have emerged worldwide and cause serious human and animal diseases. Arthropod-borne (arbo-)viruses possess a peculiar capacity to replicate in very different hosts, such as mosquitoes and mammals (...
