The flavivirus family includes a number of dangerous insect-borne diseases such as dengue, West Nile, yellow fever, tick-borne encephalitis and St. Louis encephalitis.

Moreover, this finding underscores IPO7’s essential function in the flavivirus life cycle, specifically in the later stages of viral particle assembly and release. The study’s findings suggest that ...

Here, we report that flavivirus nonstructural protein-1 (NS1), which is abundantly secreted into the serum of an infected host, plays a critical role in flavivirus acquisition by mosquitoes.

A study published in PLoS Pathogens has now identified a protein named importin-7 (IPO7), as a carrier that transports flavivirus core protein through the nuclear membrane and into the nucleus.

The Flavivirus causes yellow fever. The virus is transmitted by mosquitos, mainly the Aedes and Haemogogus species. It is most likely to occur in tropical and subtropical parts of South America, ...

Whether existing antibodies to dengue could enhance infection by another flavivirus, Zika, in humans remains an open question. However, researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in ...
