The application of spectroscopy techniques for diagnosis of malaria parasites and arboviruses and surveillance of mosquito vectors: A systematic review and critical appraisal of evidence

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Spectroscopy-based techniques are emerging diagnostic and surveillance tools for mosquito-borne diseases. This review has consolidated and summarised recent research in the application of Raman and infrared spectroscopy techniques including near- and mid-

Machine Learning‐Assisted Infectious Disease Detection in Low‐Income Areas: Toward Rapid Triage of Dengue and Zika Virus Using Open‐Source Hardware

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This study introduces an affordable machine learning platform for simultaneous dengue and zika detection using fluorine‐doped tin oxide thin films modified with gold nanoparticles and DNA aptamers. Designed for low‐cost, hardware‐limited devices (< $25), the model achieves 95.3% accuracy and uses only 9.4 kB of RAM, demonstrating viability for resource‐

Perspectives on New Vaccines against Arboviruses Using Insect-Specific Viruses as Platforms

open access: yesVaccines, 2021
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are global pathogens circulating endemically with local explosive outbreaks and constant encroachment into new locations. Few vaccines against arboviruses exist; most for humans are in development or clinical trials.

Monodentate Phosphine Modulation in Cyclometallated Platinum(II) Complexes for Antileishmanial, Antiviral, and Antitumor Applications

open access: yesChemMedChem, EarlyView.
Schematic representation depicting the influence of phosphine ligand identity on the biological and physicochemical characteristics of Pt(II) complexes: PTA promotes antileishmanial activity, PPh2(Php–COOH) strengthens antiviral activity, and TCEP enhances fluorescence.

Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

Surveillance of Rift Valley Fever in Iran between 2001 and 2011

open access: yesAll Results Journals: Biol, 2013
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is an acute zoonotic viral disease that mostly affects ruminants with an occasional spillover as human infection. Following the outbreak of RVF in Saudi Arabia in 2000, surveillance of both animal and human population in ...

Global potential distribution of three underappreciated arboviruses vectors (Aedes japonicus, Ae. vexans, and Ae. vittatus) under current and future climate conditions.

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2021
Arboviruses (arthropod-borne viruses) are expanding their geographic range, posing significant health threats to millions of people worldwide. This expansion is associated with efficient and suitable vector availability.

What are the vector species of the Oropouche virus?

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Here, we review the timeline of Oropouche virus (OROV) detection in various hematophagous Diptera, from 1955 to date, including mosquitoes and midges. All vector competence experiments also are described. The results suggest that Culicoides are the primary vectors.

Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever among healthcare workers in Iran 2000–2023, a report of National Reference Laboratory

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases
Background Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a lethal acute viral zoonosis with a case fatality rate of 5–50%. Due to the potential of human-to human transmission of the disease, healthcare workers (HCWs) are at risk of occupational exposure to ...
