Infections Caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae: An Update on Therapeutic Options

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Carbapenems are considered as last-resort antibiotics for the treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. With the increasing use of carbapenems in clinical practice, the emergence of carbapenem-resistant pathogens now ...

Spatio-temporal characteristics of dengue outbreaks [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
After their re-emergence in the last decades, dengue fever and other vector-borne diseases are a potential threat to the lives of millions of people. Based on a data set of dengue cases in the Brazilian city of Fortaleza, collected from 2011 to 2016, we study the spatio-temporal characteristics of dengue outbreaks to characterize epidemic and non ...

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

Medical 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 ...

Infection severity across scales in multi-strain immuno-epidemiological Dengue model structured by host antibody level [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Infection by distinct Dengue virus serotypes and host immunity are intricately linked. In particular, certain levels of cross-reactive antibodies in the host may actually enhance infection severity leading to Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). The coupled immunological and epidemiological dynamics of Dengue calls for a multi-scale modeling approach.

Host‐feeding preferences of Culex pipiens and its potential significance for flavivirus transmission in the Camargue, France

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
We identified Culex pipiens bloodmeals at the species level in natural, agricultural and peri‐urban habitats and calculated host preferences based on forage ratios. This analysis showed Passeriformes, and in particular Columba livia, Passer montanus and Turdus sp., to be the preferred Cx. pipiens hosts.

Morin hydrate reduces survival and fertility, delays development and weakens lipid reserves in Aedes aegypti

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Morin hydrate promoted mortality and reduced the rate of pupation and egg laying in Aedes aegypti larvae that survive treatment. Morin hydrate reduces the levels of triacylglycerol, the main lipid reserve in A. aegypti larvae. The expression of proteins involved in lipogenesis and lipolysis was downregulated and upregulated, respectively, in larvae ...

Incidence of dengue illness among children in an urban setting in South India: A population based study

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
Objectives: Our main objective was to estimate population based dengue incidence estimates in children with fever >3 days. Methods: The study used the ‘National Surveillance System for Enteric Fever in India’ (NSSEFI) cohort at the Vellore site. Children

Estimating the Size of Aedes aegypti Populations from Dengue Incidence Data: Implications for the Risk of Yellow Fever, Zika Virus and Chikungunya Outbreaks [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
In this paper we present a model to estimate the density of aedes mosquitoes in a community affected by dengue. The model is based on the fitting of a continuous function to the incidence of dengue infections, from which the density of infected mosquitoes is derived straightforwardly.

Managing and mitigating future public health risks: Planetary boundaries, global catastrophic risk, and inclusive wealth

Risk Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract There are two separate conceptualizations for assessing existential risks: Planetary Boundaries (PBs) and global catastrophic risks (GCRs). While these concepts are similar in principle, their underpinning literatures tend not to engage with each other.
