The effect of increased CpG and UpA dinucleotides in the West Nile virus genome on virus transmission by Culex mosquitoes and pathogenesis in a vertebrate host

Joyce W. M. van Bree, Imke Visser, Eleanor M. Marshall…·Jelke Jan Fros

This study examines how increasing CpG and UpA dinucleotides in West Nile virus affects replication in mosquitoes and vertebrates, showing differential attenuation and neuroinvasiveness outcomes.

Effect of mosquito saliva from distinct species on human dermal endothelial cell function in vitro and West Nile virus pathogenesis in vivo

Imke Visser, Vincent P. Vaes, Peter van Run…·Barry Rockx

This study examines how saliva from different mosquito species affects human endothelial cell permeability and West Nile virus pathogenesis in mice, finding that certain salivary proteases enhance virus transmission.

Usutu virus and West Nile virus use a transcellular route of neuroinvasion across an in vitro model of the human blood-brain barrier

Eleanor M. Marshall, Marion Koopmans, Barry Rockx

This study compares the neuroinvasion capabilities of Usutu and West Nile viruses across an in vitro blood-brain barrier model, finding USUV replicates to lower titres but induces similar immune responses.

Multimerization- and glycosylation-dependent receptor binding of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins

Kim M. Bouwman, Ilhan Tomris, Hannah L. Turner…·Robert P. de Vries

The paper demonstrates that fully glycosylated trimeric RBD proteins of SARS-CoV-2 bind more effectively to ACE2 compared to monomeric or immaturely glycosylated variants.
