Bluetongue virus serotypes 1 to 24 are transmitted primarily by infected Culicoides midges, in which they also replicate. However, “atypical” BTV serotypes (BTV‐25, ‐26, ‐27 and ‐28) have recently been identified that do not infect and replicate in a...

Inhibition of Orbivirus Replication by Fluvastatin and Identification of the Key Elements of the Mevalonate Pathway Involved (2021)
Journal Article

Statin derivatives can inhibit the replication of a range of viruses, including hepatitis C virus (HCV, Hepacivirus), dengue virus (Flavivirus), African swine fever virus (Asfarviridae) and poliovirus (Picornaviridae). We assess the antiviral effect... Read More about Inhibition of Orbivirus Replication by Fluvastatin and Identification of the Key Elements of the Mevalonate Pathway Involved.

An Early Block in the Replication of the Atypical Bluetongue Virus Serotype 26 in Culicoides Cells Is Determined by Its Capsid Proteins (2021)
Journal Article

An Early Block in the Replication of the Atypical Bluetongue Virus Serotype 26 in Culicoides Cells Is Determined by Its Capsid Proteins. Viruses, 13(5), Article 919. https://doi.org/10.3390/v13050919

Arboviruses such as bluetongue virus (BTV) replicate in arthropod vectors involved in their transmission between susceptible vertebrate-hosts. The “classical” BTV strains infect and replicate effectively in cells of their insect-vectors (Culicoides b...

Vector Transmission of Animal Viruses (2021)
Book Chapter

Animal “arboviruses” include viruses that are transmitted between their vertebrate hosts by arthropod vectors. They replicate in both their haematophagous arthropod vectors and vertebrate hosts. Vectors become infected after feeding on infected hosts... Read More about Vector Transmission of Animal Viruses.
