Understanding the Effect of a Changing Climate on the Re‐Emergence of Mosquito‐Borne Diseases in Vulnerable Small Island Nations: A Systematic Review

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 3, Page 223-247, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Drastic changes in meteorological variables due to climate change will likely have an implication on the proliferation of vectors such as mosquitoes. Extreme weather events may therefore promote the emergence/re‐emergence of mosquito‐borne diseases (MBDs) and potentiate the risk of endemicity, particularly, in small island nations.

Advancing health equity: Why guideline development must prioritize fairness and justice

Clinical and Public Health Guidelines, Volume 2, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Health equity should be regarded as a fundamental principle and a priority for all guideline development organizations. Yet, this principle has not been consistently prioritized in the creation of mainstream guidelines. In this commentary, we examine a real‐world example from leprosy management, where the initial lack of integration of health ...

Application of microfluidic technologies in veterinary science with a view toward development of animal‐on‐a‐chip models

VIEW, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2025.
Other than human‐based application, it is important for microfluidics technology to be integrated in the field of veterinary science. With current but limited existing studies and experience from plenty of human‐oriented microfluidics applications, microfluidics technologies will bring tremendous benefit to the welfare and healthcare of various animal ...

Prevalence of Heritable Symbionts in Parisian Bedbugs (Hemiptera: Cimicidae)

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2025.
Bedbugs are known to host three symbionts: an obligate partner, Wolbachia, and two facultative symbionts, Symbiopectobacterium and Candidatus Tisiphia. However, the frequency of these symbionts in natural populations is unknown. We tested materials from the Paris 2023 bedbug outbreak and found that most Cimex lectularius individuals carry all three ...
