Ecologic Niche Modeling and Potential Reservoirs for Chagas Disease, Mexico.
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002 Ecologic niche modeling may improve our understanding of epidemiologically relevant vector and parasite-reservoir distributions. We used this tool to identify host relationships of Triatoma species implicated in transmission of Chagas disease ...

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Host factors and early treatments to restrict paediatric HIV infection and early disease progression [PDF]
, 2015 open6noA body of evidence indicates that a threshold level of the virus is required to establish systemic and persistent HIV infection in the host and that this level depends on virus-host interactions.

Anticipating the species jump: surveillance for emerging viral threats. [PDF]
, 2012 Zoonotic disease surveillance is typically triggered after animal pathogens have already infected humans. Are there ways to identify high-risk viruses before they emerge in humans? If so, then how and where can identifications be made and by what methods?

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

HIV‐1 establishes immediate latency in T cells expressing the viral Nef protein
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Nef is a viral protein often omitted from HIV‐1 reporter viruses. Consequently, its role in viral latency is unclear. We developed three novel dual reporter HIV‐1 derivatives that express Nef and allow for detection of latent and productive infection. Using these reporters, we show that Nef does not affect the establishment of immediate viral latency ...
