The term arbovirus denotes viruses that are transmitted by arthropods, such as ticks, mosquitoes, and other biting arthropods. The infection of these vectors produces a certain set of evolutionary pressures on the virus; involving migration from the...

Mayaro virus (MAYV) is an emerging, mosquito-borne alphavirus that causes a dengue-like illness in many regions of South America, and which has the potential to urbanize. Because no specific treatment or vaccine is available for MAYV infection, we ca... Read More about A novel live-attenuated vaccine candidate for mayaro Fever..

Mesoniviruses are mosquito-specific viruses with extensive geographic distribution and host range. (2014)

Background
The family Mesoniviridae (order Nidovirales) comprises of a group of positive-sense, single-stranded RNA ([+]ssRNA) viruses isolated from mosquitoes.
Findings
Thirteen novel insect-specific virus isolates were obtained from mosquitoes c... Read More about Mesoniviruses are mosquito-specific viruses with extensive geographic distribution and host range..
