Virus-Like Particle Systems for Vaccine Development against Viruses in the Flaviviridae Family

Vaccines, 2019
Viruses in the Flaviviridae family are important human and animal pathogens that impose serious threats to global public health. This family of viruses includes emerging and re-emerging viruses, most of which are transmitted by infected mosquito or tick ...

Molecular Screening of Black Flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) for Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Pathogens, South Moravia, Czech Republic

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 95-106, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...

Vector Potential Index: Bridging Competence and Contribution as an Integrative Measure of Relative Transmission Capability

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 ...

Ethological risk factors of West nile infection of wild birds in Senegal [PDF]

, 2007
Serological studies performed in 2003, as well as viral isolations demonstrated that West Nile fever (WNF) was endemic in Senegal (West Africa). Large populations of potentially infected birds fly each year from West Africa to Europe.

The Role of Viral and Bacterial Infections in the Etiology of Behçet's Disease

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 1, January 2026.
Bacterial and viral pathogens may play a key role in Behçet's disease (BD) pathogenesis by triggering autoimmunity, molecular mimicry, or microbiome disruption. These infectious agents could initiate inflammatory pathways, contributing to BD's diverse clinical manifestations.

Human infections associated with wild birds. [PDF]

, 2008
IntroductionWild birds and especially migratory species can become long-distance vectors for a wide range of microorganisms. The objective of the current paper is to summarize available literature on pathogens causing human disease that have been ...

Milk Modulates the Gastrointestinal Stability of Tick‐Borne Encephalitis Virus: Implications for Alimentary Transmission

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.

Use of Flaviviral genetic fragments as a potential prevention strategy for HIV-1 Silencing

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2016
Introduction: Coinfection with certain members of the Flaviviridae, such as Dengue Virus (DV), West Nile Virus (WNV) Yellow Fever Virus (YFV) and most importantly, GBV-C have been documented to reduce HIV-1 viral load in vivo.
