Orthobunyaviruses (OBVs) are arthropod-borne viruses that are structurally simple, with a trisegmented, negative-sense RNA genome and only four structural proteins. OBVs are potential agents of emerging and re-emerging diseases and overall represent a global threat to both public and veterinary health. The focus of this review is on the very first steps of OBV infection in mammalian hosts, from virus binding to penetration and release of the viral genome into the cytosol. Here, we address the most current knowledge and advances regarding OBV receptors, endocytosis, and fusion.

I am incredibly lucky to have had such a dedicated and supportive mentor. I am truly a better scientist because of him. I would also like to thank my dissertation committee. Drs. Alec Gerry and Ilhem Messaoudi provided excellent feedback during discussions of my research and went above and beyond in their roles as mentors. Dr. Christie Mayo made so much of this work possible, and her incredible work ethic and enthusiasm have been an inspiration to me. Dr. Michael Rust provided me access to his laboratory and microbalance for the work in Chapter 1. My co-authors, Dr. N. James MacLachlan and Mr. Damien Laudier, contributed their skills, guidance, and expertise to the virological and histological work, and Dr. Matt Daugherty gave guidance and advice on the statistics in Chapter 4. All molecular work was completed in Dr. MacLachlan’s laboratory at the University of California, Davis. Jessica Zuccaire and Erin Reilly helped enormously in counting and sorting thousands of midges. The Mullens lab helped me keep my colony alive and my experiments going on more than one occasion.

    Virology Discovery ISSN 2052-6202 Research Open Access A systematic review of molecular diagnostic methods for the detection of arboviruses in clinical specimens in Brazil and the importance of a differential diagnosis Marcos Lázaro Moreli* and Vivaldo Gomes da Costa *Correspondence: [email protected] Department of Biomedicine, Federal University of Goiás, Jataí, Brazil. Abstract Arboviruses (Arthropod-borne viruses) compose a large group of zoonotic viruses that have complex cycles and often cause diseases in humans. This study was aimed at performing a systematic review of molecular diagnostic methods for the detection of arboviruses in clinical samples from Brazil to emphasize the importance of a differential diagnosis. Articles on arbovirus diagnostic methods were searched in databases using descriptors and selection criteria. A total of 19 articles were found that described techniques that may be used for the differential diagnosis of arboviruses. RT-PCR, nested RT-PCR and real-time RT-PCR were the main methods. The samples were collected from the Brazilian Amazon and the state of São Paulo for the diagnosis of dengue, Oropouche fever, yellow fever, Saint Louis encephalitis and Mayaro virus disease. Classical diagnostic methods were rarely used. In addition, molecular methods are not yet fully standardized because several methods did not detect arboviruses. Furthermore, a diagnosis that is based only on clinical and epidemiological data would be premature. Therefore, new entomological research and new differential molecular methods should be performed for the possible isolation of these unknown viruses to contribute to the diagnosis of arboviruses. Thus, additional research should be conducted because these diseases are emerging and reemerging in several countries.

The term ‘bunyavirus’ refers to a member of the Bunyaviridae family, while the terms ‘orthobunyavirus’, ‘phlebovirus’, etc., refer to viruses in the eponymous genus. Members of the first four genera above are able to infect mammalian hosts, whereas the tospoviruses (which are not discussed here) are important plant pathogens.
