Journal ArticleDOI
Phlebotomine sandflies and the spreading of leishmaniases and other diseases of public health concern
TL;DR: The roles of phlebotomines in the spreading of leishmaniases, sandfly fever, summer meningitis, vesicular stomatitis, Chandipura virus encephalitis and Carrión's disease are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sandfly-borne phleboviruses of Eurasia and Africa: epidemiology, genetic diversity, geographic range, control measures.
Cigdem Alkan,Laurence Bichaud,Xavier de Lamballerie,Bulent Alten,Ernest A. Gould,Rémi N. Charrel +5 more
TL;DR: Information is examined as a comprehensive review of sandfly-borne phlebovirus infections of travelers and of soldiers stationed in endemic areas to discuss the need to conduct studies aimed at developing new antiviral drugs and vaccines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of Toscana virus in the mediterranean area
TL;DR: Despite the important role played by TOSV in CNS infections, it remains a neglected agent and is rarely considered by physicians in diagnostic algorithms of CNS infections and febrile illness during the warm season, probably because of the lack of information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Punique virus, a novel phlebovirus, related to sandfly fever Naples virus, isolated from sandflies collected in Tunisia
Elyes Zhioua,Gregory Moureau,Ifhem Chelbi,Laetitia Ninove,Laurence Bichaud,M. Derbali,Mylène Champs,Saifeddine Cherni,Nicolas Salez,Shelley Cook,Xavier de Lamballerie,Rémi N. Charrel +11 more
TL;DR: Genetic and phylogenetic characterization based on sequences in the three genomic segments showed that it was a novel virus distinct from other recognized members of the species, provisionally named Punique virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virus discovery in sandflies, from field studies to phylogenetic tree building: classic methods versus novel methods, what do we need to address public health impact?
Laurence Bichaud,Cigdem Alkan,Géraldine Piorkowski,Elyes Zhioua,Idir Bitam,Arezki Izri,V Moin Vaziri,Bulent Alten,Yusuf Özbel,Ozge Erisoz Kasap,X. de Lamballerie,Rémi N. Charrel +11 more
TL;DR: The aim is to present an integrated approach to discover new/existing viruses vectored by sandflies, to characterize these viruses by complete genome sequencing, and to study their potential public health impact for humans and non human vertebrates.
