Antiviral treatment perspective against Borna disease virus 1 infection in major depression: a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial

BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2020
Background Whether Borna disease virus (BDV-1) is a human pathogen remained controversial until recent encephalitis cases showed BDV-1 infection could even be deadly. This called to mind previous evidence for an infectious contribution of BDV-1 to mental

Expert opinion on the identification, risk assessment, and mitigation of microorganisms and parasites relevant to xenotransplantation products from pigs

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...

Poaching sources and trade routes in Peru and Ecuador warn of the unsustainable rural demand for preferred parrot species

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 5, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
Illegal wildlife markets in the Neotropics point to the importance of this activity in the Neotropics. However, illegal trade on a more local scale remains overlooked. Our results show the existence of a selection for certain preferred species, underrepresented in markets, which are also traded over long distances inside the country, even crossing ...

Viral infections in critical care: a narrative review

Anaesthesia, Volume 78, Issue 5, Page 626-635, May 2023., 2023
Summary Viral infections form a substantial part of the intensive care workload, even before the recent and ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic. The growing availability of molecular diagnostics for viral infections has led to increased recognition of these pathogens. This additional information, however, provides new challenges for interpretation and management.
