Article Synopsis
- ILHV, a member of the Flaviviridae family, was first isolated in 1944 from mosquitoes and is being studied for its potential transmission by certain mosquito species.
- The study involved infecting the F1 generation of a specific mosquito species with ILHV and analyzing samples from their bodies, heads, and saliva over several days post-infection (dpi).
- Results showed that the mosquitoes did not harbor ILHV in their bodies or heads at any point, indicating their resistance to the virus and suggesting they do not participate in its transmission cycle.
Arboviruses in Free-Ranging Birds and Hematophagous Arthropods (Diptera, Nematocera) from Forest Remnants and Urbanized Areas of an Environmental Protection Area in the Amazon Biome.
Viruses
September 2022
The rapid and disorderly urbanization in the Amazon has resulted in the insertion of forest fragments into cities, causing the circulation of arboviruses, which can involve hematophagous arthropods and free-ranging birds in the transmission cycles in urban environments. This study aimed to evaluate the circulation of arboviruses in free-ranging birds and hematophagous arthropods captured in an Environmental Protection Area in the Belem metropolitan area, Brazil. Birds were captured using mist nets, and hematophagous arthropods were collected using a human protected attraction technique and light traps.

Objectives: We sought to identify the viral etiology of equine encephalitis in Espírito Santo state.
Methods: We performed viral culture in C6/36 cells, molecular detection of WNV genome, histopathology and immunohistochemistry from horse cerebral tissue.
