Wolbachia-induced inhibition of O'nyong nyong virus in Anopheles mosquitoes is mediated by Toll signaling and modulated by cholesterol

S. Pujhari, G. L. Hughes, N. Pakpour, Y. Suzuki, J. L. Rasgon

This study shows Wolbachia inhibits Onyong nyong virus in Anopheles mosquitoes via Toll signaling, but cholesterol suppresses this effect by modulating Toll signaling.

Sindbis virus is suppressed in the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti by ATG-6/Beclin-1 mediated activation of autophagy

S. Pujhari, C. C. Heu, M. Brustolin, R. M. Johnson, D. Kim, J. L. Rasgon

This study shows that activating autophagy in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes reduces Sindbis virus production using a recombinant virus expressing an autophagy activator.

In vitro and in vivo co-infection and super-infection dynamics of Mayaro and Zika viruses in mosquito and vertebrate backgrounds

M. Brustolin, S. Pujhari, C. A. Henderson, D. Kim, J. L. Rasgon

This study examines co-infection and super-infection dynamics of Mayaro and Zika viruses in mosquito and vertebrate cells, finding negative impacts on Zika replication and transmission.

Everything you wanted to know about Mayaro virus but were afraid to ask: Characterization and lifecycle of Mayaro virus in vertebrate and invertebrate cellular backgrounds

S. Pujhari, M. Brustolin, C. C. Heu, R. Smithwick, M. Larrosa, S. Hafenstein, J. L. Rasgon

This study characterizes the replication, entry mechanisms, and pathogenesis of Mayaro virus in vertebrate and invertebrate cells, identifying pH-dependent endocytosis and macropinocytosis as entry routes and cytopathic effects associated with apoptosis.
