Stewardship of Molecular Diagnostics in Transplant Viral Infections
Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The transplant environment requires special considerations when testing for viral infections as immunosuppression results in atypical infection profiles. Microbes otherwise considered commensals or causing mild disease can lead to severe infections in transplant environments. Therefore, guidelines tend to recommend broader microbial testing in

A blood safety perspective on emerging arboviral infections in the United Kingdom
Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract A core focus of the blood services is to maintain the blood supply whilst simultaneously being vigilant for potential threats to blood safety. At present, West Nile virus (WNV), Usutu virus (USUV), Dengue virus (DENV) and Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) are considered primary arboviral threats to blood safety in the UK and Northern Europe.

Blood donor West Nile virus screening identifies three autochthonous Usutu virus infections in Spain
Transfusion, EarlyView.Abstract Background Considering the increase of West Nile virus (WNV) circulation in Europe, blood banks perform WNV Nucleic Acid Test testing to ensure transfusion safety during the WNV transmission season. Usutu virus (USUV), an arbovirus related to WNV, has relevant molecular and serological cross‐reactivity with WNV. Study Design and Methods During

Predicting wildlife reservoirs and global vulnerability to zoonotic Flaviviruses. [PDF]
, 2018 Flaviviruses continue to cause globally relevant epidemics and have emerged or re-emerged in regions that were previously unaffected. Factors determining emergence of flaviviruses and continuing circulation in sylvatic cycles are incompletely understood.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.The Vector Potential Index (VPI) is a novel metric for evaluating and comparing the potential of blood‐feeding arthropod vectors to contribute to zoonotic vector‐borne disease transmission. Taking a meta‐analysis approach, the VPI combines vector competence and host use data obtained from scientific literature to assign relative and absolute VPI ranks ...

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host‐Specificity and Threats
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) can be transmitted alimentarily through contaminated dairy products, yet the mechanisms by which the virus survives the digestive tract remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the stability of TBEV in milk under simulated gastrointestinal conditions.
