    Architecture of the chikungunya virus replication organelle

    Timothée Laurent, Pravin Kumar ... Lars-Anders Carlson
    The combination of cellular cryo-electron tomography, biochemistry, and mathematical modeling provides the first integrated structural model of the Alphavirus replication organelle.

    Plasmacytoid dendritic cells control dengue and Chikungunya virus infections via IRF7-regulated interferon responses

    Brian Webster, Scott W Werneke ... Marlène Dreux
    In vivo study of arbovirus infections reveals the dominant role of pDC IRF7-signaling in directing both type I and II IFN responses, and leading to viral control.

    Widespread discrepancy in Nnt genotypes and genetic backgrounds complicates granzyme A and other knockout mouse studies

    Daniel J Rawle, Thuy T Le ... Andreas Suhrbier
    Granzyme A-/- mice, which have contributed to a body of research into this enzyme, emerge to have a mixed C57BL/6J-C57BL/6N genetic background, compromising our understanding of granzyme A and highlighting a widespread problem for knockout mouse studies generally.

    Mapping global environmental suitability for Zika virus

    Jane P Messina, Moritz UG Kraemer ... Simon I Hay
    A global map of environmental suitability for Zika virus and the estimated population living at potential risk can help refine public health guidelines, travel advisories and intervention strategies at a crucial time in the global emergence of this arbovirus.

    Comparative analysis of viral RNA signatures on different RIG-I-like receptors

    Raul Y Sanchez David, Chantal Combredet ... Anastassia V Komarova
    An experimental approach allowing characterization of viral RNA ligands recognized by RIG-I-like receptors during infection by any RNA viruses is established and validated.

    Data-driven identification of potential Zika virus vectors

    Michelle V Evans, Tad A Dallas ... John M Drake
    Data-driven methods predict over 35 mosquitoes are potential vectors of Zika virus, suggesting a larger geographic area and a greater human population is at risk of infection.

    Epidemiological and ecological determinants of Zika virus transmission in an urban setting

    José Lourenço, Maricelia Maia de Lima ... Mario Recker
    An ento-epidemiological model reveals that what made the Zika virus a public health problem in Feira de Santana, Brazil, was a surprisingly high attack rate coupled with a low risk of Microcephaly per challenged pregnancy.

    Discrete viral E2 lysine residues and scavenger receptor MARCO are required for clearance of circulating alphaviruses

    Kathryn S Carpentier, Bennett J Davenport ... Thomas E Morrison
    The scavenger receptor MARCO and liver phagocytes are required for clearance of circulating alphavirus particles and thereby limit viremia and viral dissemination.
