Addressing Climate Driven Vector‐Borne Disease in West Africa

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) pose a significant public health threat in West Africa, contributing to substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly among vulnerable populations. This region is highly susceptible to the effects of climate change due to its geographical location, dependence on rain‐fed agriculture, and fragile ...

Improving the Breadth of the Host’s Immune Response to Lassa Virus

Pathogens, 2018
In 2017, the global Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness (CEPI) declared Lassa virus disease to be one of the world’s foremost biothreats. In January 2018, World Health Organization experts met to address the Lassa biothreat.

Comparison of Proteomic Analysis of Cerebrospinal Fluid From Neurological Patients With and Without Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 6, June 2026.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by progressive muscle weakness in both bulbar and extremity muscles, leading to a diverse clinical phenotype with motor and non‐motor symptoms. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from sporadic ALS patients were analysed for proteomics content and revealed altered inflammatory and ...

Spreading Speed for a Vector‐Borne Disease System on Non‐Coincident Straight Infinite Cylinders

Studies in Applied Mathematics, Volume 156, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐borne diseases remain an increasing global public health concern. In this work, we investigate the spreading speed of vector‐borne disease via a four‐component reaction–diffusion system posed on non‐coincident straight infinite cylinders, which stands for an unconventional spatial configuration.

Epidemiology of Four Major Canine Tumours in the UK: Insights From a National Pathology Registry With Comparative Oncology Perspectives

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 324-340, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pet dogs with naturally occurring cancers provide valuable models for comparative oncology and pathology tumour registries offer a powerful resource for onco‐epidemiological research. Here, we analysed the Small Animal Veterinary Surveillance Network (SAVSNET) pathology‐based tumour registry (PTR), one of the largest veterinary tumour ...

Detection of Antibody and Antigen for Lassa Virus Nucleoprotein in Monkeys from Southern Nigeria

Journal of Epidemiology and Global Health, 2019
Lassa fever is a deadly viral haemorrhagic fever caused by Lassa Virus (LASV). Rodents, especially, Mystomys natalensis, are the known reservoirs of LASV and humans are the defined hosts.

A Genomic Catalog of Migratory Microbiomes from Wild Birds across China's Habitats

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Migratory birds play an important role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR); however, gaps in surveillance data from vital regions along migratory flyways across China limit the detection of emergent threats. Here, we assembled 340 metagenomes from 52 bird species covering 11 provincial administrative districts in China, presenting ...

Assessing the Environmental Drivers of Lassa Fever in West Africa: A Systematic Review

Viruses
The spread of Lassa virus in West Africa is reliant on the abundance and distribution of its rodent host reservoirs. While the impact of environmental change on viral spread has been studied for many zoonotic viruses, there is still a limited ...

Immune-Mediated Systemic Vasculitis as the Proposed Cause of Sudden-Onset Sensorineural Hearing Loss following Lassa Virus Exposure in Cynomolgus Macaques

mBio, 2018
Lassa virus (LASV) causes a severe, often fatal hemorrhagic disease in regions in Africa where the disease is endemic, and approximately 30% of patients develop sudden-onset sensorineural hearing loss after recovering from acute disease.
