Chikungunya raises concern in the Americas
Despite the presence of potentially susceptible mosquitoes, the first autochthonous cases of chikungunya on the American continent were not reported until December 2013 when a severe epidemic struck the West Indies. In order to assess the risks of the virus being transmitted and spreading throughout the territory, scientists from the Institut Pasteur and Fiocruz (Brazil) undertook the most...

Human papillomavirus linked to auto-immune disease
Erosive oral lichen planus (OLP) is an auto-immune disease affecting skin and mucous membranes which results in an abnormal immune response against mucocutaneous cells. Today, scientists at the Institut Pasteur, Inserm, Paul Sabatier University (Toulouse) and the CNRS have proven that the immune cells involved in OLP are the same as those activated during an immune response to human...

Identification of the 3D structure of chikungunya virus surface proteins
Researchers at the Institut Pasteur and CNRS, in collaboration with the Synchrotron SOLEIL, have solved the three-dimensional atomic structure of the glycoproteins that envelop the chikungunya virus. This discovery helps to understand how this protein complex is activated in order for the virus to invade target cells. Activation is a key stage in the viral life cycle and understanding its...

Chikungunya: an animal model, at last !
Researchers from the Institut Pasteur and INSERM have developed the first mouse model for chikungunya virus infection. This animal model mimics both the benign and severe forms of the disease. As a result, the scientists have determined which tissues and cells are infected by the virus in each of these clinical conditions. The development of such an animal model is a major advance, not only at...
