Risk Factors for Tick‐Borne Diseases in Germany: A Scoping Review

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 297-313, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) have proliferated in Germany. The two most prevalent TBDs, Lyme‐borreliosis and tick‐borne encephalitis, can present with nonspecific symptoms and lead to serious neurological complications. To date, a review synthesising the risk factors of acquiring a TBD in Germany is missing.

The Human Threat From West Nile Virus and Usutu Virus in a Changing Climate

APMIS, Volume 134, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, the closely related arboviruses West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV) have spread farther north in Europe. The viruses often co‐circulate and are maintained in a natural cycle between ornithophilic mosquitoes and birds.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever: An overview

Virologica Sinica, 2013
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a zoonotic viral infection that is a serious threat to humans. The disease is widely distributed in Africa, Asia, and Europe and has developed into a serious public health concern. Humans become infected through the bites of ticks, by contact with a patient with CCHF, or by contact with blood or tissues from ...

Knowledge mapping of risk mitigation measures against vector‐borne diseases

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract A comprehensive synthesis of current evidence on surveillance, prevention and control measures for 25 selected vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) affecting animals in the EU is presented here. The assessment integrates evidence from systematic literature reviews, modelling studies, field investigations and expert judgement.

Phylogeography of Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus

PLOS ONE, 2016
Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is one of the most severe viral zoonozes. It is prevalent throughout Africa, Asia and southern Europe. Limited availability of sequence data has hindered phylogeographic studies. The complete genomic sequence of all three segments of 14 Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever virus strains isolated from 1958-2000 ...

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review

Clinical Anatomy, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 346-367, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.

A TLR8 Variant Identified From Whole Exome Sequencing as a Sepsis‐Prone Mutation

FASEB BioAdvances, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
Whole‐exome sequencing of sepsis patients identified a recurrent high‐impact TLR8 rs3764880 variant enriched in bacterial sepsis. Single‐cell transcriptomics localized elevated TLR8 expression to non‐classical monocytes, while bulk RNA‐seq and functional assays demonstrated enhanced IFN‐β responses following TLR8 stimulation.
