The genus Leptoconops is poorly investigated, despite its ecological relevance and biting nuisance. The studies in Italy focused only on the coastal areas. Inland populations of Leptoconops noei are documented for the first time in Italy. We record their presence in an area covering Siena district, Tuscany region, in an atypical environment for the ...

Culicoides species involved in the BTV‐3 epidemic, the Netherlands, 2023–2024
A high amount of Culicoides‐midges were captured using Onderstepoort light traps on farms with animals infected with bluetongue serotype 3 (BTV‐3) at the beginning of the outbreak in 2023. Species, sex and parity of the captured Culicoides‐midges were morphologically determined and gravid and parous Culicoides‐midges have been selected and pooled for ...

Possible Future Monoclonal Antibody (mAb)-Based Therapy against Arbovirus Infections
More than 150 arboviruses belonging to different families are known to infect humans, causing endemic infections as well as epidemic outbreaks. Effective vaccines to limit the occurrence of some of these infections have been licensed, while for the ...

Transplant Infectious Disease Training: Bridging the Gap
ABSTRACT An increasing complexity of organ transplantation, newer immunosuppressives, and an expanded donor pool requires a well‐trained multidisciplinary workforce with surgeons, physicians, and infectious diseases (ID) physicians working together. In most countries, solid organ transplantation preceded the development of ID as a specialty leading to ...

The Therapeutic Potential of Andrographolide and Its Derivatives in Inflammatory Diseases
ABSTRACT Andrographolide, a diterpenoid component found in traditional Chinese medicine Andrographis paniculata, is known as a natural antibiotic and can be used to treat inflammatory lesions of various systemic diseases. In recent years, andrographolide derivatives have been continuously synthesized and have shown good anti‐inflammatory ...

New adhesive traps to monitor urban mosquitoes with a case study to assess the efficacy of insecticide control strategies in temperate areas [PDF]
Background: Urban mosquitoes in temperate regions may represent a high nuisance and are associated with the risk of arbovirus transmission. Common practices to reduce this burden, at least in Italian highly infested urban areas, imply calendar-based ...

Resting behaviour as a target for innovative mosquito control strategies
Abstract This work reviews and discusses how a deeper knowledge of mosquito time‐allocation, particularly resting periods, can enhance the effectiveness and deployment of classical vector control tools. As more high‐resolution data are gathered by novel tracking devices, follow‐up questions investigating mosquito behaviour are likely to arise ...
