When conservation meets contagion: Mapping yellow fever risk to guide vaccination in an endangered primate

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Spatial projections revealed high‐risk areas for YF transmission, highlighting priority zones for targeted vaccination efforts in GLTs. By integrating disease ecology into conservation planning, this study offers a scalable framework for spatially informed interventions aimed at mitigating disease‐driven declines in threatened species.

Widespread SARS‐CoV‐2 Transmission Despite Limited Reported Cases and Clinical Disease: Exploring the Role of Pre‐Existing Humoral Immunity to SARS‐CoV‐2 in Eastern Sierra Leone

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Since December 2019, SARS‐CoV‐2 has infected over 700 million people and caused > 7 million deaths. While much of the global north was severely affected, sub‐Saharan Africa was relatively spared. Possible reasons include a younger population, fewer comorbidities, and pre‐existing immunity.

Small Molecule Inhibition of Mononegavirales RNA Polymerases

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The order Mononegavirales includes several non‐segmented negative‐sense RNA viruses that are significant human pathogens, whose transcription and replication depend on multifunctional RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase (L protein). Recent discoveries in cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) have elucidated the structures of these polymerases and their ...

Diagnostic schemes for reducing epidemic size of african viral hemorrhagic fever outbreaks

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2014
Introduction: Viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) outbreaks, with high mortality rates, have often been amplified in African health institutions due to person-to-person transmission via infected body fluids.

Ebola virus disrupts the inner blood-retinal barrier by induction of vascular endothelial growth factor in pericytes.

PLoS Pathogens, 2023
Ebola virus (EBOV) causes severe hemorrhagic fever in humans with high mortality. In Ebola virus disease (EVD) survivors, EBOV persistence in the eyes may break through the inner blood-retinal barrier (iBRB), leading to ocular complications and EVD ...

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.

Quantification of heterogeneity in human CD8+ T cell responses to vaccine antigens: an HLA-guided perspective

Frontiers in Immunology
Vaccines have historically played a pivotal role in controlling epidemics. Effective vaccines for viruses causing significant human disease, e.g., Ebola, Lassa fever, or Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever virus, would be invaluable to public health ...
