Role of extracellular vesicles in the pathogenesis of mosquito-borne flaviviruses that impact public health

Abstract Mosquito-borne flaviviruses represent a public health challenge due to the high-rate endemic infections, severe clinical outcomes, and the potential risk of emerging global outbreaks. Flavivirus disease pathogenesis converges on cellular factors from vectors and hosts, and their interaction...

description Abstract Mosquito-borne flaviviruses represent a public health challenge due to the high-rate endemic infections, severe clinical outcomes, and the potential risk of emerging global outbreaks. Flavivirus disease pathogenesis converges on cellular factors from vectors and hosts, and their interactions are still unclear. Exosomes and microparticles are extracellular vesicles released from cells that mediate the intercellular communication necessary for maintaining homeostasis; however, they have been shown to be involved in disease establishment and progression. This review focuses on the roles of extracellular vesicles in the pathogenesis of mosquito-borne flavivirus diseases: how they contribute to viral cycle completion, cell-to-cell transmission, and cellular responses such as inflammation, immune suppression, and evasion, as well as their potential use as biomarkers or therapeutics (antiviral or vaccines). We highlight the current findings concerning the functionality of extracellular vesicles in different models of dengue virus, Zika virus, yellow fever virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and West Nile virus infections and diseases. The available evidence suggests that extracellular vesicles mediate diverse functions between hosts, constituting novel effectors for understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of flaviviral diseases.
