Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Alphavirus Transducing System: Tools for Visualizing Infection in Mosquito Vectors [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2010
Alphavirus transducing systems (ATSs) are important tools for expressing genes of interest (GOI) during infection. ATSs are derived from cDNA clones of mosquito-borne RNA viruses (genus Alphavirus; family Togaviridae). The Alphavirus genus contains about 30 different mosquito-borne virus species.

Inhibitors of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus Identified Based on Host Interaction Partners of Viral Non-Structural Protein 3

Viruses, 2021
Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) is a new world alphavirus and a category B select agent. Currently, no FDA-approved vaccines or therapeutics are available to treat VEEV exposure and resultant disease manifestations. The C-terminus of the VEEV

Economic effects of disease outbreaks on U.S. salmonid farms

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The U.S. salmonid industry is the second‐largest finfish sector of U.S. aquaculture, contributing $886 million and more than 2000 jobs to the U.S. economy in 2022. The goal of this study was to develop an economic analysis of the impact of losses from disease outbreaks to the U.S. salmonid industry.

Rational Design of Broad‐Spectrum Anti‐Enteroviral Molecular Glues Targeting Enteroviral RNAi Suppressors

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 38, 9 July 2026.
By leveraging this homodimerization mechanism, molecular glues were rationally designed to induce dysfunctional 3A dimerization, thereby restoring antiviral RNAi. The optimal molecular glue, VTP‐32, demonstrated potent and pan‐enterovirus (groups A, B, D) antiviral effects.

Type I interferon reaction to viral infection in interferon-competent, immortalized cell lines from the African fruit bat Eidolon helvum. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Bats harbor several highly pathogenic zoonotic viruses including Rabies, Marburg, and henipaviruses, without overt clinical symptoms in the animals. It has been suspected that bats might have evolved particularly effective mechanisms to suppress viral ...

Land‐Based Functional Rehabilitation Versus Aquatic Therapy on the Quality of Life of Individuals With Chronic Chikungunya: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Physiotherapy Research International, Volume 31, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Chikungunya may progress to a chronic phase marked by persistent pain and functional impairment, reducing the quality of life. Exercise‐based rehabilitation is essential, though comparisons between different modalities remain scarce. Exercises in an aquatic environment can be designed as a task‐oriented intervention that

Zebrafish and CRISPR—A synergistic approach to decipher and cure human diseases

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 1167-1179, June 2026.
Zebrafish, with high genetic homology to humans, serves as a powerful vertebrate model for disease modeling and drug discovery. Integration of CRISPR/Cas9 technology enables precise genome editing, facilitating the development of translational models for human diseases.

Poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) Nanoparticles for IL‐12 Self‐Amplifying RNA Delivery in Glioblastoma Models

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 38, 11 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most lethal brain cancers, with median survival rarely exceeding 15 months after diagnosis. Interleukin‐12 (IL‐12) is a potent immunostimulatory cytokine capable of reshaping the tumor microenvironment (TME), yet its clinical translation is hindered by systemic toxicity and short half‐life. RNA‐based local
