Cameroonian blackflies (Diptera: Simuliidae) harbour a plethora of (RNA) viruses

L. De Coninck, A. Hadermann, L. Ingletto, R. Colebunders, K. G. Njamnshi, A. K. Njamnshi, J. Mokili, J. N. Siewe Fodjo, J. Matthijnssens

The paper investigates viruses in Cameroonian blackflies, finding a high abundance of novel viral sequences but no known neurotropic viruses, suggesting potential zoonotic disease risks.

Lack of abundant core virome in Culex mosquitoes from a temperate climate region despite a mosquito species-specific virome

L. De Coninck, A. Soto, L. Wang, K. De Wolf, N. Smitz, I. Deblauwe, K. C. Mbigha Donfack, R. Muller, L. Delang, J. Matthijnssens

The study profiles the virome of Culex and Aedes mosquitoes in Belgium, finding no abundant core virome and identifying 45 viruses, 28 novel, with species-specific patterns and Wolbachia prevalence.

Belgian Culex pipiens pipiens are competent vectors for West Nile virus but not Usutu virus

A. Soto, L. De Coninck, A.-S. Devlies, C. Van De Wiele, A. L. R. Rosas, L. Wang, J. Matthijnssens, L. Delang

The study assesses vector competence of Belgian Culex mosquitoes for West Nile and Usutu viruses, finding Culex pipiens pipiens transmits WNV but not USUV, while Culex modestus transmits USUV but not WNV, with Wolbachia presence species-specific.

Impact of HIV infection and integrase strand transfer inhibitors-based treatment on gut virome

P. Villoslada-Blanco, P. Perez-Matute, M. Iniguez, E. Recio-Fernandez, J. Daan, L. De Coninck, L. Close, P. Blanco-Navarrete, L. Metola, V. Ibarra, J. Alba, J. Matthijnssens, J. A. Oteo

This study evaluates the impact of HIV infection and INSTIs-based treatment on gut virome composition, finding that INSTIs partially restore gut dysbiosis at both bacterial and viral levels.
