Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

Modelling vector and host distributions to inform potential disease risk: A case study of West Nile virus in the United Kingdom

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Correlative modelling approaches can be used successfully to predict the distribution of vectors and hosts involved in vector‐borne diseases of concern. For West Nile virus in the United Kingdom, host distributions are unlikely to be a significant factor influencing change. Vector distributions and urbanisation will drive increasing risk. Projecting to

Nicotiana benthamiana as a Source of Cowpea Mosaic Virus‐Derived Particles That Specifically Package Designer RNAs

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The coupling of replication and encapsidation in the bipartite plant virus, cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV), has been used to specifically incorporate designer RNA molecules into viral particles via transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana. This is achieved by placing the desired RNA sequence between the 5′ and 3′ UTRs of CPMV RNA‐2 so that ...

A century of assessment: A systematic review of biothreat risk assessments

open access: yesRisk Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract Throughout the past century, assessments of the risks and benefits posed by high‐consequence biological agents have guided US decision‐making on weapons research, countermeasure development, and security policy. However, the dispersed nature of these biothreat risk assessments has presented various difficulties, such as duplicative effort ...

Transplant Infectious Disease Training: Bridging the Gap

open access: yesTransplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
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 ...
