Effective Educational Programs for Disaster Preparedness and Management: A Rapid Evidence Assessment

open access: yesInternational Nursing Review, Volume 73, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the effectiveness of educational programs on disaster preparedness and management for emergency nurses and nursing students, focusing on teaching methods that enhance readiness and competence. Background The increasing frequency and severity of disasters require healthcare systems to be adequately prepared. Nurses, often on the

Estimation of Genetic Variance and Breeding Values for Infectious Disease Susceptibility From Simulated Longitudinal Data Using Generalized Linear Mixed Models Based on Transmission Dynamics

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 5, Page 639-657, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent theoretical work shows that the potential of genetic selection to reduce the prevalence of infectious diseases is much larger than expected from classical quantitative genetic theory, due to indirect genetic effects that arise in the transmission process. However, to fully benefit from these indirect effects, we need to estimate genetic

Ingestion of attractive toxic sugar baits containing ivermectin before and after blood feeding affects the biology and reproduction of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 551-559, September 2026.
Attractive toxic sugar bait containing ivermectin (ATSB‐IVM) ingestion markedly reduced blood feeding, survival, oviposition, egg production and larval hatching, with the strongest effects when baits were ingested before blood feeding. Timing of ingestion (48–96 h before or after blood feeding) shaped sublethal impacts across the first and second ...

A Systematic Review of Studies Investigating the Transmission Dynamics of Infectious Salmon Anemia Virus

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Infectious salmon anemia is one of the most important viral diseases affecting the farmed Atlantic salmon industry. The objectives of this systematic review were to appraise the methods, parameters, and validation approaches employed in mathematical modeling studies related to infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) transmission dynamics ...

The pathogenic effector PHYL1JWB interacts with ZjCURT1A to mediate jujube witches' broom‐induced photosynthesis impairment of jujube trees

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 5, September 2026.
SUMMARY Photosynthesis impairment and the accompanying leaf yellowing represent a prominent and physiologically critical symptom of phytoplasma infection. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified the Jujube Witches' Broom pathogenic effector PHYL1JWB, which was previously reported to induce ...

Influence of Heat Wave and Precipitation on Chikungunya Transmission

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Increasingly frequent extreme weather events are heightening the chances of mosquito‐borne diseases outbreaks, posing a notable threat to human health. However, how extreme weather influences the transmission dynamics of mosquito‐borne diseases remains poorly understood.

Targeting Human Immunodeficiency Virus Integrase Beyond the Active Site: The Discovery and Development of Allosteric Integrase Inhibitors

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 16, 27 August 2026.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) allosteric integrase inhibitors (ALLINIs) offer a vital alternative to standard therapies by targeting noncatalytic sites. By inducing aberrant integrase multimerization, they disrupt viral maturation. This review explores their medicinal chemistry evolution, detailing structural insights, structure–activity ...

A computer simulation model of a rubella epidemic

Computers in Biology and Medicine, 1974
Abstract This paper presents a deterministic computer simulation model of the rubella epidemic process. The model consists of four difference equations which relate the number of infectant individuals in a closed population to the number of susceptible individuals, the number of immune individuals, the contact rate, the birth and death rates, and the
