Aminopyrimidine Derivatives as Multiflavivirus Antiviral Compounds Identified from a Consensus Virtual Screening Approach.

Around three billion people are at risk of infection by the dengue virus (DENV) and potentially other flaviviruses. Worldwide outbreaks of DENV, Zika virus (ZIKV), and yellow fever virus (YFV), the lack of antiviral drugs, and limitations on vaccine usage emphasize the need for novel antiviral research. Here, we propose a consensus virtual screening approach to discover potential protease inhibitors (NS3pro) against different flavivirus. We employed an in silico combination of a hologram quantitative structure-activity relationship (HQSAR) model and molecular docking on characterized binding s…

Evaluation of Modified Autocidal Gravid Ovitraps for Control of Aedes Aegypti in St. Augustine, Florida.

Aedes aegypti is an anthropophilic mosquito that vectors dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever viruses. The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s autocidal gravid ovitraps (AGOs) may facilitate the control of container-inhabiting Aedes mosquitoes and curb arbovirus outbreaks by taking advantage of oviposition-seeking behavior using pesticide-free technology. The AGOs, manufactured by SpringStar Inc., were tested during the summer of 2018 in St. Augustine, FL.

Серологическая кросс-реактивность в зоонотических флавивирусных заболеваниях, имеющих медицинское значение.

Флавивирусы окутаны вирусами РНК из семейства Флавивиридае, которые состоят из многих важных человеческих патогенных арбовирусов, таких, как Желтая лихорадка, Денге и Зика. Поскольку они принадлежат к одному и тому же роду, эти вирусы демонстрируют последовательность и структурную гомологию среди них, что приводит к серологической поперечной реактивности. При инфицировании иммунная система производит как конкретные виды, так и перекрестные антитела, и в зависимости от вируса, при последовательной флавивирусной инфекции, перекрестные антитела либо усиливают защиту, либо усугубляют болезнь, обыч

Light-induced activities of novel naphtho[1,8-ef]isoindole-7,8,10(9H)-trione and oxoisoaporphine derivatives towards mosquito larvae.

Infected mosquitoes are significant vectors of dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, zika and other pathogens. In the view of increasing resistance in mosquito larvae control, photoactivated insecticides is a promising approach by utilizing highly toxic singlet oxygen produced by photosensitizer through irradiation. However, the choice of photosensitizer for mosquito control is limited. Here, we report a novel series of naphtho[1,8-ef]isoindole-7,8,10(9H)-trione and oxoisoaporphines derivatives as excellent type II photosensitizers. Meanwhile, the light-dependent activities against permethrin-sus…

The COVID-19 crisis and Amazonia's indigenous people: Implications for conservation and global health.

Ecosystem health and zoonotic diseases are closely interwoven. Even as we grapple with the SARS-Coronavirus-2 pandemic, which may have its origins in wildlife, weakening environmental policies in the Brazilian Amazon are elevating the risk of additional zoonotic spillover events. We examine the links between deforestation and disease emergence in the Amazon, as illustrated by outbreaks of yellow fever virus, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, and Oropouche virus. It has been well established that in Brazil, indigenous territories exhibit lower rates of forest conversion and degradation than…

Assessment of Resistance to Organophosphates and Pyrethroids in Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae): Do Synergists Affect Mortality?

Aedes aegypti (L.) is the primary vector of Zika, dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya viruses. Insecticides used in mosquito control can help prevent the spread of vector-borne diseases. However, it is essential to determine insecticide resistance (IR) status before control measures are undertaken. Only the most effective insecticides should be used to avoid ineffective control and/or promotion of IR. Pyrethroids and organophosphates are the most commonly used insecticides for mosquito control. Here, the efficacy of two active ingredients (AIs; permethrin [pyrethroid], chlorpyrifos [organoph…

Transcriptomic immune profiles of human flavivirus-specific T-cell responses.

The Flavivirus genus of viruses includes dengue (DENV), Zika (ZIKV), yellow fever (YFV), Japanese encephalitis (JEV), and West Nile (WNV) viruses. Infections with these species combined are prevalent in tropical and sub-tropical areas, affecting millions of people and ranging from asymptomatic to severe forms of the disease. They therefore pose a serious threat to global public health. Several studies imply a role for T cells in the protection but also pathogenesis against the different flavivirus species. Identifying flavivirus-specific T-cell immune profiles and determining how pre-exposure …

Inhibition of Japanese encephalitis virus infection by the host zinc-finger antiviral protein.

CCCH-type zinc-finger antiviral protein (ZAP) is a host factor that restricts the infection of many viruses mainly through RNA degradation, translation inhibition and innate immune responses. So far, only one flavivirus, yellow fever virus, has been reported to be ZAP-resistant. Here, we investigated the antiviral potential of human ZAP (isoform ZAP-L and ZAP-S) against three flaviviruses, Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV). Infection of JEV but not DENV or ZIKV was blocked by ZAP overexpression, and depletion of endogenous ZAP enhanced JEV replication…

Поведение мимомии (Etorleptiomiia) люзоненсиса (Ludlow, 1905) (Deptera, Culicidae) в Малайзии.

Москиты являются переносчиками различных человеческих заболеваний в тропиках, включая желтую лихорадку, денге, малярию и вирус Западного Нила. Москиты могут выступать в качестве векторов между животными и людьми, что особенно важно для болезней, когда дикие животные служат в качестве резервуаров паразитов в отсутствие человеческих инфекций. Однако исследования были сосредоточены главным образом на медицинском воздействии Anopheles, Aedes, Mansonia и Culex, однако очень мало внимания уделялось другим генам комаров, особенно тем, которые выступают в качестве переносчиков болезней дикой природы.
