Article Abstract
Yellow fever virus (YFV) is an endemic arbovirus in parts of Africa and the Americas. In Brazil, following the eradication of the urban transmission cycle, YFV is maintained in a sylvatic cycle involving several species of neotropical primates and mosquitoes of the genera Haemagogus and Sabethes, which serve as primary and secondary vectors, respectively. During the 2016-2019 outbreak in São Paulo State, a total of 3731 mosquito pools were collected from sites with ongoing epizootic events in 192 municipalities. The RT-qPCR analysis detected YFV in 46 pools (1.4%) across nine mosquito species, including both primary and secondary vectors, as well as species from the genera Aedes and Psorophora. Differences in viral loads were observed among species. While Aedes aegypti was not found to be positive, the detection of natural YFV infection in other Aedes species raises concerns about potential virus reurbanization. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of additional mosquito species in YFV transmission in Brazil.

Background: Yellow fever virus (YFV) remains a re-emerging zoonotic threat in South America. While epizootics in free-ranging spp. are well-documented, little is known about YFV infection in other Neotropical non-human primates (NHPs), particularly in captive settings.

Excessive use of agrochemicals results in contamination of water due to runoff or leaching. Insecticide induced-hormesis, a phenomenon characterized by low dose stimulation following exposure to insecticide, is crucial to insect pest resurgence. In this study, the effects of low or sublethal concentrations of emamectin benzoate and thiamethoxam on biological traits and genes expression were investigated for yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti following 48 h exposures.

Widespread yellow fever virus (YFV) immunity in Sub-Saharan Africa may mitigate orthoflavivirus outbreaks. Here, we investigate whether pre-existing YFV-17D immunity confers cross-protection against dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2) infection in a murine model. IFNAR1 mice immunized with YFV-17D exhibited significantly reduced DENV-2 viremia, weight loss, and disease severity, with improved survival compared to naïve controls.

Background: The genus primarily consists of arthropod-borne viruses capable of infecting vertebrate hosts and causing serious human diseases such as dengue fever, Zika fever, Japanese encephalitis, West Nile fever, and yellow fever. This study describes the development of a simple and field-deployable detection system for multiple pathogenic orthoflavivirus species using the recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) technique.
Methods: Several previously published broad-specific primers targeting the genus were evaluated.
