The diagnostic classification of arthralgia and non-characteristic neurological deficit is a challenge for the neurologist and the internist if both symptoms arise simultaneously or in combination. Diseases with the combined appearance of both symptoms are grouped into those with early and more or less simultaneous onset, those starting with arthralgias followed by neurological deficits, neurogenic arthropathies, and those presenting both symptoms as complications of ongoing internal disease. A diagnostic procedure is set out and recommended.

Introduction: Aedes-borne arboviral infections, both imported and autochthonous, are reported in Europe. We evaluated the landscape of these infections in Europe over 23 years and attempted to pre-empt the trajectory of impact of these infections in the climatic context of Aedes mosquito expansion in Europe.
Methods: This systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines and registered in Prospero (CRD42023360259).

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an enveloped positive-sense RNA virus, is a member of the alphaviruses and cause fever and arthralgia in humans. We performed genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9-based screens and identified Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1) as an essential cellular factor for CHIKV. Deficiency of YBX1 inhibited CHIKV RNA replication and impaired virus production.
