Linear epitope identification of monoclonal antibodies against the duck Tembusu virus NS1 by Hantai Tan, Senzhao Zhang, Wangyang Tan, Tao Hu, Yu He, Zhen Wu, Mingshu Wang, Renyong Jia, Dekang Zhu, Mafeng Liu, Xinxin Zhao, Qiao Yang, Ying Wu, Shaqiu Zhang, Juan Huang, Xumin Ou, Qun Gao, Di Sun, Anchun Cheng, Shun Chen

“…By sequence alignment and cross-reaction tests, we found that 8A4 and 8E6 had high specificity for DTMUV NS1 compared with that of other mAbs, but 10F12, 1H11, 3D5, and 5C11 exhibited a clear degree of cross-reaction with dengue virus (DENV), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), West Nile virus (WNV), and Zika virus (ZIKV) NS1. Finally, the predicted crystal structure analysis showed the approximate spatial positions of the 4 epitopes on the NS1 dimer. …”

Flavivirus infections induce a Golgi stress response in vertebrate and mosquito cells by Mercedes Viettri, José L. Zambrano, Romel Rosales, Gerson I. Caraballo, Ana Lorena Gutiérrez-Escolano, Juan E. Ludert

“…Finally, dilatation of the Golgi complex and translocation of TFE3 was observed in vertebrate cells expressing dengue and Zika viruses NS1, but not NS3. These results indicated that infections by dengue and Zika viruses induce a Golgi stress response in vertebrate and mosquito cells due to the increased demand on the Golgi complex imposed by virion and NS1 processing and secretion.…”

Pathogenesis and virulence of flavivirus infections by van Leur, SW, Heunis, T, Munnur, D, Sanyal, S

“…Flaviviruses display a broad spectrum of diseases that can be roughly categorised into two phenotypes – systemic disease involving haemorrhage exemplified by dengue and yellow Fever virus, and neurological complications associated with the likes of West Nile and Zika viruses. Attempts to develop vaccines have been variably successful against some. …”

Impact of simultaneous exposure to arboviruses on infection and transmission by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes by Claudia Rückert, James Weger-Lucarelli, Selene M. Garcia-Luna, Michael C. Young, Alex D. Byas, Reyes A. Murrieta, Joseph R. Fauver, Gregory D. Ebel

“…Here, Rückertet al. show that Aedes aegyptimosquitos have the potential to co-transmit chikungunya, dengue and Zika viruses and that coinfection does not overall affect dissemination or transmission rates.…”

Prioritizing Water Security in the Management of Vector‐Borne Diseases: Lessons From Oaxaca, Mexico by Ali S. Akanda, Kristin Johnson, Howard S. Ginsberg, Jannelle Couret

“…Abstract Changes in human water use, along with temperature and rainfall patterns, are facilitating habitat spread and distribution of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, the primary vectors for the transmission of Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika viruses in the Americas. Artificial containers and wet spots provide major sources of mosquito larval habitat in residential areas. …”
