| seroepidemiology of selected arboviruses in febrile patients visiting selected health facilities in the lake/river basin areas of lake baringo, lake naivasha, and tana river, kenya. | arboviruses cause emerging and re-emerging infections affecting humans and animals. they are spread primarily by blood-sucking insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, midges, and sandflies. changes in climate, ecology, demographic, land-use patterns, and increasing global travel have been linked to an upsurge in arboviral disease. outbreaks occur periodically followed by persistent low-level circulation. | 0 | 25700043 |
| undiagnosed acute viral febrile illnesses, sierra leone. | sierra leone in west africa is in a lassa fever-hyperendemic region that also includes guinea and liberia. each year, suspected lassa fever cases result in submission of ≈500-700 samples to the kenema government hospital lassa diagnostic laboratory in eastern sierra leone. generally only 30%-40% of samples tested are positive for lassa virus (lasv) antigen and/or lasv-specific igm; thus, 60%-70% of these patients have acute diseases of unknown origin. to investigate what other arthropod-borne an ... | 0 | 24959946 |
| a genome-wide rnai screen reveals that mrna decapping restricts bunyaviral replication by limiting the pools of dcp2-accessible targets for cap-snatching. | bunyaviruses are an emerging group of medically important viruses, many of which are transmitted from insects to mammals. to identify host factors that impact infection, we performed a genome-wide rnai screen in drosophila and identified 131 genes that impacted infection of the mosquito-transmitted bunyavirus rift valley fever virus (rvfv). dcp2, the catalytic component of the mrna decapping machinery, and two decapping activators, ddx6 and lsm7, were antiviral against disparate bunyaviruses in ... | 0 | 23824541 |
| stem-loop recognition by ddx17 facilitates mirna processing and antiviral defense. | dead-box helicases play essential roles in rna metabolism across species, but emerging data suggest that they have additional functions in immunity. through rnai screening, we identify an evolutionarily conserved and interferon-independent role for the dead-box helicase ddx17 in restricting rift valley fever virus (rvfv), a mosquito-transmitted virus in the bunyavirus family that causes severe morbidity and mortality in humans and livestock. loss of drosophila ddx17 (rm62) in cells and flies enh ... | 0 | 25126784 |
| emerging infections of cns: avian influenza a virus, rift valley fever virus and human parechovirus. | history is replete with emergent pandemic infections that have decimated the human population. given the shear mass of humans that now crowd the earth, there is every reason to suspect history will repeat itself. we describe three rna viruses that have recently emerged in the human population to mediate severe neurological disease. these new diseases are results of new mutations in the infectious agents or new exposure pathways to the agents or both. to appreciate their pathogenesis, we summariz ... | 0 | 26276027 |
| blood meal analysis and virus detection in blood-fed mosquitoes collected during the 2006-2007 rift valley fever outbreak in kenya. | rift valley fever (rvf) is a zoonosis of domestic ruminants in africa. blood-fed mosquitoes collected during the 2006-2007 rvf outbreak in kenya were analyzed to determine the virus infection status and animal source of the blood meals. | 0 | 25229704 |
| reemergence of rift valley fever, mauritania, 2010. | a rift valley fever (rvf) outbreak in humans and animals occurred in mauritania in 2010. thirty cases of rvf in humans and 3 deaths were identified. rvfv isolates were recovered from humans, camels, sheep, goats, and culex antennatus mosquitoes. phylogenetic analysis of isolates indicated a virus origin from western africa. | 0 | 24447381 |
| rift valley fever outbreak, southern mauritania, 2012. | after a period of heavy rainfall, an outbreak of rift valley fever occurred in southern mauritania during september-november 2012. a total of 41 human cases were confirmed, including 13 deaths, and 12 rift valley fever virus strains were isolated. moudjeria and temchecket departments were the most affected areas. | 0 | 24447334 |
| unexpected rift valley fever outbreak, northern mauritania. | during september-october 2010, an unprecedented outbreak of rift valley fever was reported in the northern sahelian region of mauritania after exceptionally heavy rainfall. camels probably played a central role in the local amplification of the virus. we describe the main clinical signs (hemorrhagic fever, icterus, and nervous symptoms) observed during the outbreak. | 0 | 22000364 |
| genome analysis of rift valley fever virus, mayotte. | as further confirmation of a first human case of rift valley fever in 2007 in comoros, we isolated rift valley fever virus in suspected human cases. these viruses are genetically closely linked to the 2006-2007 isolates from kenya. | 0 | 22608405 |
| countermeasure development for rift valley fever: deletion, modification or targeting of major virulence factor nss. | rift valley fever (rvf) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic disease characterized by a high rate of abortion in ruminants, and febrile illness, hemorrhagic fever, retinitis and encephalitis in humans. rvf is caused by the rvf virus (rvfv), belonging to the genus phlebovirus of the family bunyaviridae. rvfv encodes a major virulence factor, nss, which is dispensable for viral replication, yet required for evasion of host innate immune responses. rvfv nss inhibits host gene upregulation at the transcript ... | 0 | 24910709 |
| seroprevalence of antibodies against chikungunya, dengue, and rift valley fever viruses after febrile illness outbreak, madagascar. | in october 2009, two-3 months after an outbreak of a febrile disease with joint pain on the eastern coast of madagascar, we assessed serologic markers for chikungunya virus (chikv), dengue virus (denv), and rift valley fever virus (rvfv) in 1,244 pregnant women at 6 locations. in 2 eastern coast towns, igg seroprevalence against chikv was 45% and 23%; igm seroprevalence was 28% and 5%. igg seroprevalence against denv was 17% and 11%. no anti-denv igm was detected. at 4 locations, 450-1,300 m hig ... | 0 | 23092548 |

| rift valley fever : a report of three cases of laboratory infection and the experimental transmission of the disease to ferrets. | three cases of rift valley fever in human individuals are reported. the virus was recovered from the respiratory tract of the patients and was transmitted to ferrets by the intranasal route. the experimental disease so produced in ferrets is characterized by fever, marked pulmonary lesions, and hemorrhagic phenomena. the results indicate that the virus of rift valley fever belongs to the group of filterable viruses which may gain entrance to the human body through the respiratory tract. the diff ... | 1935 | 19870425 |
