Exposure to arboviral infections and risk of rheumatoid arthritis: Findings from the MyEIRA population‐based case‐control study

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
The Malaysian Epidemiological Investigation of Rheumatoid Arthritis population‐based case‐control study examined whether prior exposure to chikungunya and dengue viruses (via IgG seropositivity) is associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk, stratified by anti‐citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) status.

Ten years since the last Chikungunya virus outbreak in Italy. History repeats itself [PDF]

, 2017
The prevalence of Arbovirus (arthropod-borne virus) infections is increasing worldwide. Recently, new clusters of autochthonous cases have been reported in countries with temperate climates where the competent vector is present.

A Conservation Assessment and Systematic Review of the Endangered Spectacled Flying‐Fox 濒危眼镜狐蝠的保护评估与系统综述

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Spectacled flying‐fox Pteropus conspicillatus populations have declined so seriously over two decades that they are now endangered. Inaction has allowed threats to increase. Extreme heat events are now a lethal reality, habitat loss continues almost unabated, and pressure to disperse roosts is ever‐present. Obtaining resources and taking action to help

Emerging arboviruses: Why today?

One Health, 2017
The recent global (re)emergence of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), such as chikungunya and Zika virus, was widely reported in the media as though it was a new phenomenon. This is not the case. Arboviruses and other human microbial pathogens have been (re)emerging for centuries.

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

No Detection of Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) Virus in Ticks from Kerman Province of Iran

Journal of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2018
Introduction: Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a fatal tick-borne viral zoonosis with a case fatality rate of 5% to 30%. CCHF has been documented as the most frequent tick-borne viral infection in Iran with more than 50 cases annually.

Maltase 1 regulates DENV2 infection and life history in Aedes aegypti

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Our study employed CRISPR/Cas9 to generate a MAL1 knockout strain of Aedes aegypti, demonstrating that the absence of MAL1 significantly suppresses DENV2 replication in the midgut and impairs viral transmission. The mutation also altered life‐history (hatching/pupation/emerging rates and sex‐specific survival), identifying MAL1 as a novel target for ...

An All‐in‐One Metabarcoding Approach to Mosquito and Arbovirus Xenosurveillance

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has the potential to transform mosquito‐borne disease surveillance but remains under‐utilised. This study introduces a comprehensive multi‐loci metabarcoding‐based MX (molecular xenomonitoring) approach to mosquito and arbovirus surveillance, enabling parallel identification of mosquito vectors, circulating ...

Renewal equations for mosquito‐borne diseases

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract During infectious disease outbreaks, estimates of time‐varying pathogen transmissibility, such as the instantaneous reproduction number Rt$$ R(t) $$ or epidemic growth rate rt$$ {r}_t $$, are used to inform decision‐making by public health authorities.
