Unraveling Arbovirus Emergence: Insights into the Molecular Switch from Vector to Host

Explore the complex world of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) in this 37-minute webinar presented by Dr. Pierre-Yves Lozach, a Research Director at INRAE-University Lyon. Delve into the biological relevance of studying arboviruses, their intricate life cycles in arthropods and mammals, and the general principles of virus transmission from arthropod vectors to human and mammalian hosts. Gain valuable insights into how arboviruses exploit the vector-host transition at molecular and cellular levels to promote their transmission and spread. Learn about the challenges posed by viral zoonoses, drawing parallels with the COVID-19 pandemic, and understand the importance of targeting early stages of transmission and virus-host cell interactions in preventing arbovirus outbreaks. Discover how Dr. Lozach's research team employs advanced fluorescence-based methods to investigate early virus-host interactions, contributing to our understanding of these emerging infectious diseases.
