TLDR
Human sera collected in a Land Dyak village were tested for antibodies to 11 arboviruses and Japanese encephalitis and dengue virus antibodies were particularly prevalent, while infections with other Group A and B and Bunyamwera group viruses were generally at a low level.Abstract:
449 human sera collected in a Land Dyak village were tested for antibodies to 11 arboviruses. Japanese encephalitis and dengue virus antibodies were particularly prevalent. The rates of infection with these viruses were estimated to be 5-2% per annum for Japanese encephalitis, 8-8% for dengue 1 and 4-3% for dengue 2. Chikungunya virus antibodies were quite common with an annual infection rate of the order of 5% per annum. Infections with other Group A and B and Bunyamwera group viruses were generally at a low level.read more

TL;DR: The causative agent of the duck egg drop syndrome occurring in China is a new flavivirus, an emerging and re-emerging zoonotic pathogen and BYD virus that causes severe egg-drop, could be disastrous for the duck industry.

TL;DR: The Malaysian Duck Tembusu Virus (DTMUV), named Perak virus, has moderate genomic RNA sequence similarity to a related DTMUV identified in China and could be transmitted in the absence of mosquito vectors.

Dengue and chikungunya virus infection in man in Thailand, 1962-1964. IV. Epidemiologic studies in the Bangkok metropolitan area.
TL;DR: Observations suggest a low level of anthropophilia in these species in Thailand and the possibility of a biological barrier to transmission of arboviruses by them to man.

A simple plaque-inhibition test for the study of arthropod-borne viruses.
TL;DR: The simple plaque-inhibition test described in this paper was devised with the requirements of the field or diagnostic laboratory in mind; while less precise than Dulbecco's method, it is sufficiently accurate for many purposes and is far less laborious.

The 1964 chikungunya epidemic at vellore, South India, including observations on concurrent dengue
TL;DR: Virological and serological studies on 477 fever patients seen at the Christian Medical College Hospital, Vellore, South India, from mid-August through December, 1964, indicated that 274 patients suffered infection with chikungunya virus alone, and subsequent study of pre-epidemic survey sera suggests that the virus was present in the area during the 1930's.
