My doctoral thesis examines the prerequisites of replication for three positive-strand RNA viruses, Chikungunya virus (CHIKV - alphavirus), Semliki Forest virus (SFV - alphavirus) and Flock House virus (FHV - nodavirus). Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne RNA virus that causes high fever, rashes and joint pain. Semliki Forest virus (SFV) has been extensively studied as a model to comprehend the replication strategies of alphaviruses because of its low pathogenicity. A characteristic feature of alphavirus replication is the formation of membranous invaginations termed spherules, associated with the plasma membrane. Spherules act as genome factories as they are the sites of active viral replication and release nascent viral RNA st...
