Human T Cell Responses to Flavivirus Vaccines

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 8, August 2025.
This review summarises current knowledge of T cell responses induced by flavivirus vaccines being licensed or under development. Existing vaccines against flaviviruses have been developed and analysed primarily in the context of antibody responses, while the role of T cells in contributing to immunity against flaviviruses is less studied.

The salivary gland transcriptome of Varroa destructor reveals suitable targets for RNAi‐based mite control

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 540-551, August 2025.
RNAseq and differential expression analysis identified 15 salivary gland genes encoding secreted proteins with putative anti‐bacterial, anti‐fungal, cytolytic, digestive and immunosuppressive function. The three most highly transcribed genes were selected to study their functional importance by reverse genetics, using a non‐invasive approach of dsRNA ...
