Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Variation in Yellow Fever Virus: Duplication in the 3′ Noncoding Region of Strains from Africa
TL;DR: Examination of the nucleotide sequences of three regions of the genomes of 13 yellow fever (YF) virus isolates suggested that there were at least four major genotypes of YF virus, including one in Central/East Africa, one in West Africa, and two in South America.
Journal ArticleDOI
ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Togaviridae.
Rubing Chen,Suchetana Mukhopadhyay,Andres Merits,Bethany G. Bolling,Farooq Nasar,Lark L. Coffey,Ann M. Powers,Scott C. Weaver +7 more
TL;DR: The Togaviridae is a family of small, enveloped viruses with single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genomes of 10-12 kb that are mosquito-borne and are pathogenic in their vertebrate hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential role of sylvatic and domestic African mosquito species in dengue emergence
Mawlouth Diallo,Amadou A. Sall,Abelardo C. Moncayo,Yamar Ba,Zoraida Fernández,Diana I. Ortiz,Lark L. Coffey,Christian Mathiot,Robert B. Tesh,Scott C. Weaver +9 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that adaptation of DENV-2 to urban vectors did not result in a loss of infectivity for some African sylvatic vectors, and implications for dengue emergence in west Africa are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recombinant Sindbis/Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus Is Highly Attenuated and Immunogenic
Slobodan Paessler,Rafik Fayzulin,Michael Anishchenko,Ivorlyne P. Greene,Scott C. Weaver,Ilya Frolov +5 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the use of the SINV genome as a vector for expression of structural proteins derived from more pathogenic, encephalitic alphaviruses is a promising strategy forAlphavirus vaccine development.

TL;DR: This work reports ARDS in two aged African green monkeys infected with SARS-CoV-2 that demonstrated pathological lesions and disease similar to severe COVID-19 in humans and suggests that aged AGMs may be useful for modeling severe disease manifestations including ARDS.
