    Abstract Keystone virus (KEYV) is an under-studied orthobunyavirus that is transmitted via both horizontal and vertical cycles involving various mosquito species and vertebrate hosts. Historical evidence indicates that KEYV causes sub-clinical infections in humans, and some case studies draw links between this virus and encephalitis. Given KEYV's potential to cause human infections, it is plausible that it causes an under-appreciated proportion of both generic viral infections and unidentified viral encephalitis cases. This review summarizes current knowledge of KEYV and its disease dynamics in order to better understand the virus' medical and economic burden on human populations.

    Abstract Mayaro virus (MAYV) is an emerging mosquito-borne alphavirus that causes clinical symptoms similar to those caused by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), Dengue virus (DENV), and Zika virus (ZIKV). To differentiate MAYV from these viruses diagnostically, we have developed a portable device that integrates sample preparation with real-time, reverse-transcription, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (rRT-LAMP). First, we designed a rRT-LAMP assay targeting MAYV's non-structural protein (NS1) gene and determined the limit of detection of at least 10 viral genome equivalents per reaction. The assay was specific for MAYV, without cross-reactions with CHIKV, DENV, or ZIKV. The rRT-LAMP assay was integrated with a sample preparation device (SPD) wherein virus lysis and RNA enrichment/purification were carried out on the spot, without requiring pipetting, while subsequent real-time amplification device (RAD) enables virus detection at the point of care (POC). The functions of our platform were demonstrated using purified MAYV RNA or blood samples containing viable viruses. We have used the devices for detection of MAYV in as short as 13 min, with limit of detection to as low as 10 GEs/reaction.

    Abstract Dengue virus serotype 4 (DENV-4) circulated in Aedes aegypti in 2016 and 2017 in Florida in the absence of human index cases, compelling a full assessment of local mosquito vector competence and DENV-4 risk. To better understand DENV-4 transmission risk in Florida, we used an expanded suite of tests to measure and compare the vector competencies of both an established colony of A. aegypti (Orlando strain [ORL]) and a field-derived colony from Collier County, FL, in 2018 (COL) for a Haitian DENV-4 human field isolate and a DENV-4 laboratory strain (Philippines H241). We immediately noted that ORL saliva positivity was higher for the field than for laboratory DENV-4 strains. In a subsequent comparison with the recent COL mosquito colony, we also observed significantly higher midgut infection of COL and ORL by the Haitian DENV-4 field strain and a significantly higher saliva positivity rate for COL, although overall saliva virus titers were similar between the two. These data point to a potential midgut infection barrier for the DENV-4 laboratory strain for both mosquito colonies and indicate that the marked differences in transmission potential estimates hinge on virus-vector combinations. Our study highlights the importance of leveraging an expanded suite of testing methods with emphasis on utilizing local mosquito populations and field-relevant dengue virus serotypes and strains to accurately estimate transmission risk in a given setting.

    Abstract Heightened inflammatory response is a prominent feature of severe COVID-19 disease. We report that the SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a viroporin activates the NLRP3 inflammasome, the most promiscuous of known inflammasomes. Ectopically expressed ORF3a triggers IL-1β expression via NFκB, thus priming the inflammasome. ORF3a also activates the NLRP3 inflammasome but not NLRP1 or NLRC4, resulting in maturation of IL-1β and cleavage/activation of Gasdermin. Notably, ORF3a activates the NLRP3 inflammasome via both ASC-dependent and -independent modes. This inflammasome activation requires efflux of potassium ions and oligomerization between the kinase NEK7 and NLRP3. Importantly, infection of epithelial cells with SARS-CoV-2 similarly activates the NLRP3 inflammasome. With the NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 and select FDA-approved oral drugs able to block ORF3a-mediated inflammasome activation, as well as key ORF3a amino acid residues needed for virus release and inflammasome activation conserved in the new variants of SARS-CoV-2 isolates across continents, ORF3a and NLRP3 present prime targets for intervention.
