A Focus on Natural Autophagy Modulators as Potential Host‐Directed Weapons Against Emerging and Re‐Emerging Viruses

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 6, Page 1850-1882, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Autophagy is a highly conserved intracellular process involved in maintaining homeostasis and in the degradation of damaged organelles and external pathogens. Nature provides complex and varied reservoirs of scaffolds and chemical entities that may have a pivotal role in the search for new therapeutic leads.

Louse‐borne relapsing fever in Finland in two asylum seekers from Somalia

APMIS, 2016
We report two cases of louse‐borne relapsing fever (LBRF) in young Somali asylum seekers having recently arrived to Finland. They had sought medical attention for a febrile illness. Blood smears were examined for suspected malaria, but instead, spirochete shaped bacteria were observed.

Cardiorespiratory Disturbances Associated with Infective Fever in Man: Studies of Ethiopian Louse-Borne Relapsing Fever

Clinical Science, 1970
1. Nineteen patients with louse-borne relapsing fever were studied in Addis Abeba (altitude 2285 m). 2. Following treatment with tetracycline a febrile Jarisch—Herxheimer-like reaction developed which showed the phases described in artificially-induced endotoxin fever. 3.

Bleeding in louse-borne relapsing fever I. Clinical studies in 37 patients

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1971
Abstract 37 patients with louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) were investigated. In 21 there was evidence of bleeding. Thrombocytopenia, with platelelet counts below 150,000/c.mm., was found in 31 (84%). This was attributed to increased consumption due to intravascular clotting and to pooling in the enlarged spleen. There was a significant correlation

Growth of Louse-Borne Relapsing Fever Spirochetes in Chick Embryo

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1941
It is well known that important biological differences exist between the tick-borne and louse-borne relapsing fever spirochetes. With the former, infection can readily be produced in a large variety of laboratory animals which together with the tick, serve as means of keeping the strain in the laboratory. On the other hand, few animals were found to be
