o Arboviruses of medical importance•Alphaviruses•Flaviviruses•Bunyaviruses
o Surveillance protocols – clinical and field•Serologic assays•Viral assays
Why do we conduct surveillance? To detect and control the spread of infectious agents to prevent major outbreaks,
and to aid in investigative epidemiology

Problem: Ab produced by many members of the flavivirus serogroup cross-react (eg. WNV, SLEV, DENV, YFV, JEV).
o Greater antibody specificityo TWO serum samples are required for accurate results:
• Acute: collected during acute infection (0-45 d)• Convalescent: collected after recovery (3-7 w)
o Performed with suspect and related arboviruses(patient location and travel history important in choosing challenge viruses)

VecTest™ assay for arbovirus antigens
Control Zone: captures unbound Ab-gold complex, confirms migration of sample through test zone.
Test Zone: virus-specific antibodies immobilized on membrane, SLE (top) and WN (bottom) in this assay.
Reagent Zone: virus-specific antibodies conjugated to gold particle.
Specificity depends on antibodies
