The molecular and cellular aspects of arthritis due to alphavirus infections: Lesson learned from Ross River virus
Autor(es): Rulli Nestor E, Melton Julian, Wilmes Anja, Ewart Gary, Mahalingam Suresh
Resumo: Alphaviruses such as the Sindbis-group viruses, Sc-inavian Ockelbo virus, the African Asian chikungunya virus, the African O'nyong-nyong virus, the South American Mayaro virus, - the Australasian Barmah Forest - Ross River viruses, are commonly associated with outbreaks of acute - persistent arthritis - arthralgia in humans. The mechanisms by which these viruses cause arthritis/arthralgia are poorly understood. This chapter summarizes our current underst-ing of viral arthritides using our newly developed mouse model of Ross River virus-induced joint - muscle inflammation.
