Laborgruppe Jöst



Overview
The research of this lab group focuses on arboviruses in Africa. Africa has been the source of most major mosquito-borne viruses of medical importance. Recent epidemics and outbreaks of Zika virus, Yellow fever virus, Chikungunya virus, West Nile virus or Dengue virus have shown that stable zoonoses can flare-up or spread with serious public health impacts. The increasing population and extension of urban environments promote contact between humans and infected wildlife or sylvatic vectors.
