| highly divergent dengue virus type 1 genotype sets a new distance record. | dengue viruses (denvs) are the leading cause of mosquito-borne viral disease of humans. they exist in both endemic and sylvatic ecotypes. in 2014, a viremic patient who had recently visited the rainforests of brunei returned to australia displaying symptoms consistent with denv infection. a unique denv strain was subsequently isolated from the patient, which we propose belongs to a new genotype within denv serotype 1 (denv-1). bayesian evolutionary phylogenetic analysis suggests that the putativ ... | 2016 | 26924208 |
| wolbachia biocontrol strategies for arboviral diseases and the potential influence of resident wolbachia strains in mosquitoes. | arboviruses transmitted by mosquitoes are a major cause of human disease worldwide. the absence of vaccines and effective vector control strategies has resulted in the need for novel mosquito control strategies. the endosymbiotic bacterium wolbachia has been proposed to form the basis for an effective mosquito biocontrol strategy. resident strains of wolbachia inhibit viral replication in drosophila fruit flies and induce a reproductive phenotype known as cytoplasmic incompatibility that allows ... | 2016 | 26925368 |
| the zika outbreak of the 21st century. | the zika virus outbreak has captivated the attention of the global audience and information has spread rapidly and wildly through the internet and other media channels. this virus was first identified in 1947, when it was isolated from a sentinel rhesus monkey placed by british scientists working at the yellow fever research laboratory located in the zika forest area of uganda, hence its name, and is transmitted primarily by the mosquito vector, aedes aegypti. the fact that the rhesus macaque is ... | 2016 | 26925496 |
| zikatracker: a mobile app for reporting cases of zikv worldwide. | we have developed a mobile app called zikatracker (zikatracker.net) to voluntarily be used to report zikv cases on a public or private level. as the zika virus (zikv) infection zones are rapidly expanding across south, central, and north america, and reports have emerged linking zikv infection with developmental defects and neurological sequelae, reporting the movement and sequelae of zikv is essential. zikatracker is a multi-lingual app (english, french, spanish, and portuguese) freely availabl ... | 2016 | 26927449 |
