Protection of fundamental human rights by improving patient access to plasma‐derived therapies and donor health protection

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives The main use of plasma has evolved into market‐driven plasma‐derived medicinal products (PDMPs), but it still requires donors. Availability of PDMPs in access to care is often considered restrictively, in terms of volumes of plasma required for production and whether or not to remunerate donors.

An inquiry‐based activity to teach about insects of medico‐legal importance: Lessons from Redi's landmark experiment

Natural Sciences Education, Volume 55, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract In this article, we describe an inquiry‐based teaching activity developed in a public high school in Brazil. The objectives were to (a) develop an experimental activity grounded on the students’ autonomy for formulating and testing hypotheses, (b) address Biology topics from a historical and multidisciplinary perspective, (c) stimulate skills ...

Prevalence of dengue, Zika, and chikungunya virus infections among mosquitoes in Asia: A systematic review and meta-analysis

International Journal of Infectious Diseases
Background: Dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) continue to pose significant public health risks. This study aims to assess the prevalence of these arbovirus infections in field-caught mosquitoes across Asia.

Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 260-267, June 2026.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.

A synthetic biology approach for a vaccine platform against known and newly emerging serotypes of bluetongue virus [PDF]

, 2014
Bluetongue is one of the major infectious diseases of ruminants and is caused by Bluetongue virus (BTV), an arbovirus existing in nature in at least 26 distinct serotypes. Here, we describe the development of a vaccine platform for BTV.

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 221-245, June 2026.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Postinfection therapy of arbovirus infections in mice [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1989
Most antiviral agents are efficacious prophylactically in vivo, and a few are efficacious for postinfection (p.i.) therapy. To explore possibilities for p.i. therapy of encephalogenic Banzi virus (BZV) and Semliki Forest virus infections in mice, we evaluated candidate antiviral therapies after development of the first clinical signs of infection.

New insights into control of arbovirus replication and spread by insect RNA interference pathways [PDF]

, 2012
Arthropod-borne (arbo) viruses are transmitted by vectors, such as mosquitoes, to susceptible vertebrates. Recent research has shown that arbovirus replication and spread in mosquitoes is not passively tolerated but induces host responses to control ...

Mosquito and arbovirus surveillance in wetlands of South‐East England: Comparison of two adult mosquito traps, use of a novel trap with FTA™ cards and arbovirus testing

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 407-421, June 2026.
Trap performance: Mosquito Magnet® captured significantly more mosquitoes overall, while BG‐Sentinel showed greater species evenness and was more effective for Culex pipiens s.l. and broader species representation. Spatial variation: Mosquito abundance and species composition varied significantly between wetlands, highlighting the importance of site ...
