Envelope Glycoprotein Mutations Mediate Equine Amplification and Virulence of Epizootic Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus
Ivorlyne P. Greene,Slobodan Paessler,Laura E. Austgen,Michael Anishchenko,Aaron C. Brault,Richard A. Bowen,Scott C. Weaver +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that a small number of envelope gene mutations can generate an equine amplification-competent, epizootic VEEV from an enzootic progenitor and underscore the limitations of small animal models for evaluating and predicting the epizootsic phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chikungunya as a paradigm for emerging viral diseases: Evaluating disease impact and hurdles to vaccine development.
Giovanni Rezza,Scott C. Weaver +1 more
TL;DR: Recent findings regarding the need for a CHIKF vaccine are reviewed and an update on vaccines nearing or having entered clinical trials is provided to tackle bottlenecks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infection patterns of o'nyong nyong virus in the malaria-transmitting mosquito, Anopheles gambiae.
Aaron C. Brault,Brian D. Foy,Kevin M. Myles,Cindy L. H. Kelly,Stephen Higgs,Scott C. Weaver,Ken E. Olson,Barry R. Miller,Ann M. Powers,Ann M. Powers +9 more
TL;DR: A series of recombinant alphaviruses, based upon the genome of ONNV, designed for the expression of heterologous genes, that will be a valuable asset in parasite–mosquito interaction and interference research and to serve as tools for antimalaria studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural enzootic vectors of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, Magdalena Valley, Colombia.
Cristina Ferro,Jorge Boshell,Abelardo C. Moncayo,Marta Gonzalez,Marta L. Ahumada,Wenli Kang,Scott C. Weaver +6 more
TL;DR: To characterize the transmission cycle of enzootic Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) strains believed to represent an epizootic progenitor, natural vectors in a sylvatic focus in the middle Magdalena Valley of Colombia are identified and a single, initial, high-titered mosquito pool representing the vector species was identified.
