Logue C, Bosio C, Welte T, Keene K, Ledermann J, Phillips A, et al.
J Gen Virol . 2009 May; 90(Pt 8):1848-1858. PMID: 19403754
Little is known about viral determinants of virulence associated with western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV). Here, we have analysed six North American WEEV isolates in an outbred CD1 mouse model....

McArthur J, Durbin A, Marron J, Wanionek K, Thumar B, Pierro D, et al.
Am J Trop Med Hyg . 2008 Nov; 79(5):678-84. PMID: 18981503
The rDEN4Delta30-200,201 is a live attenuated DENV-4 vaccine candidate specifically designed to further attenuate the rDEN4Delta30 parent virus. In the present study, 28 healthy adult volunteers were randomized to receive...

Pierro D, Powers E, Olson K
J Virol . 2007 Dec; 82(6):2966-74. PMID: 18160430
Wild-type Sindbis virus (SINV) strain MRE16 efficiently infects Aedes aegypti midgut epithelial cells (MEC), but laboratory-derived neurovirulent SINV strain TE/5'2J infects MEC poorly. SINV determinants for MEC infection have been...

Pierro D, Powers E, Olson K
J Gen Virol . 2007 Apr; 88(Pt 5):1545-1554. PMID: 17412985
Mosquito midgut epithelial cells (MEC) play a major role in determining whether an arbovirus can successfully infect and be transmitted by mosquitoes. The Sindbis virus (SINV) strain TR339 efficiently infects...

Pierro D, Salazar M, Beaty B, Olson K
J Gen Virol . 2006 Jul; 87(Pt 8):2263-2268. PMID: 16847122
A full-length infectious cDNA clone (ic) was constructed from the genome of the dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) Jamaica83 1409 strain, pBAC1409ic, by using a bacterial artifical chromosome plasmid system....

Myles K, Pierro D, Olson K
J Med Entomol . 2004 Mar; 41(1):95-106. PMID: 14989352
Within mosquitoes, arboviruses encounter barriers to infection and dissemination that are critical determinants of vector competence. The molecular mechanisms responsible for these barriers have yet to be elucidated. The prototype...

J Virol . 2003 Jul; 77(16):8872-81. PMID: 12885905
The Sindbis virus (Alphavirus; Togaviridae) strain MRE16 efficiently infects Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that ingest a blood meal containing 8 to 9 log(10) PFU of virus/ml. However, a small-plaque variant of...
