The global distribution of the arbovirus vectors Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Moritz U G Kraemer, Marianne E Sinka, Kirsten A Duda, Adrian Q N Mylne, Freya M Shearer, Christopher M Barker, Chester G Moore, Roberta G Carvalho, Giovanini E Coelho, Wim Van Bortel, et al.

Dengue and chikungunya are increasing global public health concerns due to their rapid geographical spread and increasing disease burden. Knowledge of the contemporary distribution of their shared vectors, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus remains incomplete and is complicated by an ongoing range expansion fuelled by increased global trade and travel. Mapping the global distribution of these vectors and the geographical determinants of their ...

Preparing clinicians for (re-) emerging arbovirus infectious diseases in Europe Universiteit Antwerpen

L. Sigfrid, C. Reusken, I. Eckerle, V. Nussenblatt, S. Lipworth, J. Messina, M. Kraemer, O. Ergonul, A. Papa, M. Koopmans, et al.
Background: Arthropod-borne virus (Arbovirus) infections are considered an emerging threat for Europe, with an increase in cases in recent decades. The increase in global travel and trade has contributed to the introduction of vectors and viruses into new geographical areas. Tropical arboviruses such as dengue and chikungunya have re-emerged causing local, sporadic outbreaks ignited by travel-imported cases. The recent Zika virus outbreak in the ...

Integrating Vector Competence, Mosquito Colonies, and Antiviral Drugs in Arbovirus Research KU Leuven

Alina Soto Carson
Arthropod-borne viruses, or arboviruses, are transmitted by mosquitoes and other arthropod vectors. Researching arboviruses and vectorial transmission is crucial due to the significant human and animal health impacts caused by viruses such as West Nile virus, Usutu virus, yellow fever virus, and chikungunya virus. Researchers study the virus life cycle, transmission dynamics, and interactions between the virus, vector, and host. Advances in this ...

Cell-Fusing Agent Virus Reduces Arbovirus Dissemination in Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes In Vivo KU Leuven

Sebastian Lequime
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are the main vectors of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) of public health significance, such as the flaviviruses dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV). Mosquitoes are also the natural hosts of a wide range of viruses that are insect specific, raising the question of their influence on arbovirus transmission in nature. Cell-fusing agent virus (CFAV) was the first described insect-specific flavivirus, initially ...

Emerging souvenirs-clinical presentation of the returning traveller with imported arbovirus infections in Europe Universiteit Antwerpen

I. Eckerle, V. T. Briciu, O. Ergonul, M. Lupse, A. Papa, A. Radulescu, S. Tsiodras, C. Tsitou, C. Drosten, V. R. Nussenblatt, et al.
Background: Arboviruses are an emerging group of viruses that are causing increasing health concerns globally, including in Europe. Clinical presentation usually consists of a nonspecific febrile illness that may be accompanied by rash, arthralgia and arthritis, with or without neurological or haemorrhagic syndromes. The range of differential diagnoses of other infectious and noninfectious aetiologies is broad, presenting a challenge for ...
