Field and laboratory studies of venezuelan equine encephalitis virus ecology in Chiapas, Mexico.
(2009-03-05)
The emergence of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus in Chiapas Mexico was examined from a field approach and from a laboratory approach. This virus was not previously associated with equine disease in Mexico. The evolution ...
Experimental studies of the ecology and evolution of eastern equine encephalitis virus and implications for its emergence and classification
(2010-06-25)
Eastern equine encephalitis virus strains from North (NA EEEV) and Central/South America (SA EEEV) have developed markedly different epidemiologic, pathogenic, antigenic, and genetic profiles, have distinct geographic ...
Pathogenesis and transmission of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus
(2006-04-03)
Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) is an emerging arboviral pathogen that affects the Americas. Outbreaks can involve hundreds- of- thousands of equines and humans, spread over large geographic regions, and can ...
The role of mosquito saliva on host immune response and pathogenesis of West Nile virus\r\n
(2006-11-03)
West Nile virus is a positive sense single-stranded RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae that emerged globally following the appearance of a more neurotropic subtype. Recently outbreaks of WNV disease have occurred in the ...
The Molecular Epidemiology of West Nile Virus in North America
West Nile virus (WNV) was introduced into North America in 1999. The original genotype of WNV in North America, NY99, was displaced in 2002 with the current dominant genotype, NA/WN02, which was first identified in 2002. ...
Characterization of the entry mechanisms utilized by the alphavirus venezuelan equine encephalitis virus to infect mosquito cells
(2007-08-13)
Venezuelan equine encephalitis eirus (VEEV) is a New World alphavirus that can cause fatal encephalitis in humans. VEEV is an enveloped, positive-strand RNA virus that is transmitted by a mosquito vector. Most research ...
Evolutionary influences on the reduction in enzootic circulation and human incidence of western equine encephalitis
Understanding the evolutionary and ecological circumstances in which
arboviruses emerge into naïve geographical areas is critical for the development of targeted maintenance and prevention strategies. In order to develop ...
