• Serologic Evidence of Circulation of Six Arboviruses (Dengue Virus, Chikungunya Virus, Zika Virus, Rift Valley Virus, Yellow Fever Virus, Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus) in Four Regions of Burkina Faso, West Africa (2025) · Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease · cited 2× · doi

  The study had to deal with limited data on the circulation of arboviruses in Burkina Faso. The detection of IgG antibodies against the six arboviruses required the use of commercial ELISA kits. The study had to consider the differences in study populations and analytical methods when comparing results with previous studies.

• Evaluation of the Impact of Coinfection and Superinfection on Chikungunya and Mayaro Viruses’ Replication in Aedes aegypti (2025) · Microorganisms · cited 4× · doi

  The study identifies a gap in understanding the interactions among co-circulating viruses within a shared mosquito vector. The researchers note that the convergence of competent mosquito vectors, susceptible human hosts, and favorable ecological and environmental conditions underscores the potential for the concurrent transmission of multiple arboviruses. The study highlights the need for continuous entomo-virological surveillance and targeted research to anticipate and mitigate the impact of arboviral co-circulation.

• Evaluation of the Impact of Coinfection and Superinfection on Chikungunya and Mayaro Viruses’ Replication in Aedes aegypti (2025) · Microorganisms · cited 4× · doi

  The study identifies the challenge of understanding the complex interactions among co-circulating viruses within a shared mosquito vector. The researchers note the difficulty of quantifying infection, dissemination, and transmission rates, as well as viral loads, in a reliable and efficient manner. The study highlights the need for careful experimental design and execution to ensure the accuracy and validity of the results.
