arboviruses.•The exo-siRNA pathway plays the key role in anti-arboviral immunity.•The …

Bunyamwera virus and snowshoe hare virus (family Bunyaviridae) were passaged up to six
times through mosquito cells in culture and the resultant viruses were compared to the input …

Mosquito-borne arboviruses causing infections in humans. Mosquitoes are among the most
important vectors of pathogenic viruses that infect humans and animals. Members of seven …

Hundreds of viruses, designated as arboviruses, are transmitted by arthropod vectors in
complex transmission cycles between the virus, vertebrate host, and the vector. With millions …

Control of aedine mosquito vectors, either by mosquito population reduction or replacement
with refractory mosquitoes, may play an essential role in the fight against arboviral diseases …

The replication of Mayaro virus in Aedes albopictus cells, was studied by electron
microscopy at various times post-infection. In infected cells we observed the presence of …

The replication of Mayaro virus in BHK-21 cells was studied by electron microscopy. The
infected cells show an intense vacuolization and proliferation of membranous structures. At …

Publisher Summary The ability of alpha-or flavi-viruses to replicate both in arthropods and
vertebrates—which are phylogenetically quite remote from each other—could offer a unique …

This chapter presents a broad overview of the current knowledge on how mosquitoes
transmit diseases. Stages of arboviral infection are described. The relationship between …

Sindbis virus infection of cultured mosquito cells was found to have no effect on the growth
of these cells; instead, a persistent infection of the culture followed an initial acute phase of …
