Antiviral sugar baits to reduce arbovirus transmission: a proof-of-concept study

This study evaluates antiviral sugar baits (AVSBs) in mosquitoes to block dengue and chikungunya virus transmission, finding that 4'FlU and JNJ-A07 reduce viral infection and dissemination.

Low risk of transmission of prototype and newly emerged Oropouche virus strains by European Culex pipiens, Aedes albopictus, and Anopheles atroparvus mosquitoes

This study assesses the vector competence of European mosquitoes for Oropouche virus strains and finds low transmission risk.

Sec61 translocon inhibitor Flavitransin blocks selectively dengue virus polyprotein insertion into the ER membrane with pan-flavivirus antiviral potency

Flavitransin inhibits dengue virus polyprotein insertion into the ER membrane, showing broad antiviral activity against flaviviruses.

First report of kdr L1014F and ace-1 G119S insecticide resistance in Belgian Culex (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes

The paper reports the first detection of kdr L1014F and ace-1 G119S insecticide resistance mutations in Belgian Culex mosquitoes, highlighting the need for surveillance.

Ex vivo midgut cultures of Aedes aegypti are efficiently infected by mosquito-borne alpha- and flaviviruses

This paper demonstrates that ex vivo midgut cultures of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes can be efficiently infected by mosquito-borne alpha- and flaviviruses and used to test antiviral compounds.
