Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Zika Virus Infection of Neotropical Primates.
John A. Vanchiere,John A. Vanchiere,Julio C. Ruiz,Alan G. Brady,Thomas J. Kuehl,Lawrence E. Williams,Wallace B. Baze,Gregory K. Wilkerson,Pramod N. Nehete,Gloria B. McClure,Donna Rogers,Shannan L. Rossi,Sasha R. Azar,Christopher M. Roundy,Scott C. Weaver,Nikos Vasilakis,Joe H. Simmons,Christian R. Abee +17 more
TL;DR: The susceptibility to ZikV infection of two Neotropical primate species that live in close proximity to humans in South America are confirmed, suggesting that they could support a widespread sylvatic ZIKV cycle there.
Journal ArticleDOI
A single-dose plasmid-launched live-attenuated Zika vaccine induces protective immunity.
Jing Zou,Xuping Xie,Huanle Luo,Chao Shan,Antonio E. Muruato,Scott C. Weaver,Tian Wang,Pei Yong Shi +7 more
TL;DR: The remarkable simplicity and potency of ZIKV DNA-LAV warrant further development of this vaccine candidate, which may serve as a universal vaccine platform for other plus-sense RNA viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzootic Circulation of Chikungunya Virus in East Africa: Serological Evidence in Non-human Kenyan Primates.
Gillian Eastwood,Gillian Eastwood,Rosemary Sang,Matilde Guerbois,Evans L. N. Taracha,Scott C. Weaver +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that CHIKV is circulating in western Kenya, despite the 2004 human outbreaks only being reported coastally, and antibodies in some juvenile and subadult NHPs suggested recent circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Allpahuayo virus: a newly recognized arenavirus (arenaviridae) from arboreal rice rats (oecomys bicolor and oecomys paricola) in northeastern peru.
Abelardo C. Moncayo,Christine L. Hice,Douglas M. Watts,Amelia P.A. Travassos de Rosa,Hilda Guzman,Kevin L. Russell,Carlos Calampa,Alfonso S. Gozalo,Vsevolod L. Popov,Scott C. Weaver,Robert B. Tesh +10 more
TL;DR: Two ambisense, nonoverlapping reading frames were identified, which result in two predicted gene products, a glycoprotein precursor (GPC) and a nucleocapsid protein (NP), and a predicted stable single hairpin secondary structure was identified in the intergenic region between GPC and NP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vector competence of rural and urban strains of Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) from São Paulo State, Brazil for IC, ID, and IF subtypes of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus.
Z. Fernández,Abelardo C. Moncayo,Anne-Sophie Carrara,Oswaldo Paulo Forattini,Scott C. Weaver +4 more
TL;DR: The vector competence of urban and rural strains of Ae.
