Ilhéus virus (ILHV) is a neglected mosquito-borne flavivirus. ILHV infection may lead to fever, an emerging febrile disease like dengue fever with the potential evolve into severe neurological characterized by meningoencephalitis; no specific treatments are available for this disease. This study assessed antiviral properties of caffeic acid, abundant component plant-based food products that also compatible socioeconomic limitations associated infectious The in vitro activity acid on...
We detected yellow fever virus in Haemagogus mosquitoes collected 2022 an Amazon rainforest bordering Manaus, Brazil. The viral genome sequence occupied a basal position within the South American I genotype 1E lineage. Our findings reinforce Basin as source for re-emergence.
Oropouche virus (OROV) is an emerging vector-borne arbovirus found in South America that causes fever, a febrile infection similar to dengue fever. It has high epidemic potential, causing illness over 500,000 cases diagnosed since the was first discovered 1955. Currently, prevention of human viral depends on vaccination, but availability for many viruses limited, and they are classified as neglected viruses. At present, there no vaccines or antiviral treatments available. An alternative...
Zika virus (ZIKV) has re-emerged in recent decades, leading to outbreaks of fever Africa, Asia, and Central South America. Despite its drastic re-emergence clinical impact, no vaccines or antiviral compounds are available prevent control ZIKV infection. This study evaluated the potential activity quercetin hydrate against infection demonstrated that this substance inhibits particle production A549 Vero cells under different treatment conditions. In vitro was long-lasting (still observed 72 h...
The Oropouche virus is an orthobunyavirus responsible for causing fever, a disease that primarily affects thousands of people in South and Central America. Currently, no specific antiviral treatments or vaccines are available against this virus, highlighting the urgent need safe, affordable, effective therapies. Natural products serve as important source bioactive compounds, there growing interest identifying natural molecules could be used treating viral diseases. Quercetin hydrate compound...
