Introduction• Arthropod-Borne viruses:
Arboviruses• Viruses transmitted by
arthropods• Mosquitos• Ticks• Others
• Hundreds known• Serious global health problem• Cause hundreds of millions of
infections each year• Millions of deaths per year• Major impact on economies• Often follow changes in climate
• Hurricanes/tropical storms• Global warming• Heavy Rainfall

Zoonoses• A zoonotic agent is one that normally persists in animals in a
non- or low-pathogenic state, but can cause disease in humans• In most instances, transmission to humans is incidental• It is also a dead-end for the virus
• The diseases are termed zoonoses (sing: zoonosis)• Outbreaks of zoonoses are termed epizootic• Persistence of a disease agent in a particular environment is
termed endemic• An epidemic of animal infections is termed enzootic

Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis • First recognized as South American equine disease (1930s)

• Rarely fatal; instances of permanent neurological damage• Until 1995, sporadic epizootic outbreaks of human and equine
cases in SA• Sometimes hundreds of thousands

(e.g. Everglades virus)• Ecology
• Endemic vector: Culex species mosquitos • Amplification hosts: rodents• Epidemic vectors: Ochlerotatus and Psorophora spp.

Dengue• Four serotypes: 1-4• Most important human arboviral pathogen
• About 50 million infections each year• 2.5 billion people at risk• Humans and other primates are amplifying hosts• Endemic in Texas
• Peridomestic vectors• Aedes aegypti• Aedes albopictus
• Pathogenesis: Immunopathology• Infection with first dengue virus results in dengue fever• Second infection with another serotype can result in
dengue hemorrhagic fever• Inflammatory immune response• Cytokine storm

West Nile Fever• First isolated in the West Nile river district of Uganda (1937)• Until U. S. outbreak it was an Old World disease
• Introduced to U. S. in 1999• Most likely from Israel by container ship
• Ecology• Vector: Culex mosquitos• Amplifying hosts: birds
• Virus is now endemic in the U. S.
![Page 16: 11 Chapter 38 Arthropod.ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/5885f87b1a28ab490f8ba4af/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
West Nile Fever• Pathogenesis
• Historically, only known to cause a febrile illness• 1996 Romanian outbreak resulted in unusually higher
mortality and encephalitis• 1998 Russian outbreak also had high incidence of
neurological manifestations• Arrival in U. S. resulted in tens of thousands of infections
• Naive population• Blood bank studies suggest only 1 in 5 show symptoms
• Molecular mechanisms are largely unknown• Animal studies suggest a chemokine response in the CNS may recruit
inflammatory cells• CTL infiltrates kill neurons in mice infected with WNV

• meningeal inflammation• photophobia• phonophobia• Kernig sign (inability to straighten leg without pain)• Brudzinski's sign (lift head and hips and knees flex)
• West Nile encephalitis• encephalopathy (altered level of consciousness, lethargy, personality
change)• seizures• CNS inflammation
• West Nile meningoencephalitis• Acute flaccid paralysis
• May have long-term or indefinite weakness

Yellow Fever• Principally a disease of Africa and
South America• It is thought that YFV arrived in
the Americas during the slave trade
• Infected slaves, who had some genetic resistance, carried the virus, which then entered the local ecosystem after mosquito bites
• Two forms• Urban Yellow Fever
• Mosquito-human transmission cycle• Aedes aegypti
• Jungle Yellow Fever• Mosquito-primate transmission cycle
with spillover to humans• Aedes spp. in Africa• Haemagogus and Sabethes spp. in
South America

Yellow Fever Virus• Genome
• 10.8 kb RNA• Single ORF of 10.2 kb
• Structural proteins• nucleocapsid (C)• Premembrane/membrane (prM/M) - involved in membrane fusion• Envelope (E) - spike protein, HA activity, neutralizing antibody target
• Nonstructural proteins• NS1 - expressed on cell membranes, including surface; involved in RNA
synthesis• NS2A - Interacts with NS3 and NS5 to regulate viral gene expression• NS2B - Interacts with NS3 to form protease for viral polypeptide• NS3• NS4A - Involved with RNA synthesis• NS4B - Involved with RNA synthesis• NS5 - RNA polymerase and methyltransferase for 5’ Met-G cap formation
