Safety considerations of gene‐based therapies for Alzheimer's disease
Abstract Gene‐based therapies show increasing promise for the treatment of neurologic disease. In 2016, nusinersen, an RNA‐based therapy, was approved for children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Over 200 clinical trials have utilized gene therapy approaches for a host of neurodegenerative and neuromuscular disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (

Mapping Zoonotic Risk With a Biogeographic Perspective on Transmission Cycles
ABSTRACT Aim When mapping the transmission risk of zoonotic diseases, the way vectors and wild carrier hosts are integrated into the modelling process has relevant impacts on the final output. The wide diversity of zoonotic cycles entails that a single methodological approach may be insufficient to cover the influence of vectors and wild carrier hosts ...

Lyme borreliosis in Europe [PDF]
Despite improvements in prevention, diagnosis and treatment, Lyme borreliosis (LB) is still the most common arthropod-borne disease in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, with risk of infection associated with occupation (e.g. forestry work) and certain outdoor recreational activities (e.g. mushroom collecting).

Risk Factors for Tick‐Borne Diseases in Germany: A Scoping Review
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) have proliferated in Germany. The two most prevalent TBDs, Lyme‐borreliosis and tick‐borne encephalitis, can present with nonspecific symptoms and lead to serious neurological complications. To date, a review synthesising the risk factors of acquiring a TBD in Germany is missing.

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato Employs Several Escape Mechanisms to Bypass the Human Defense System
Integrated overview of host defense and immune evasion in Lyme Borreliosis. Bbsl evades immunity through tick saliva‐mediated suppression of innate defenses, TLR2/NOD2‐driven cytokine dysregulation, and interference with JAK/STAT and CIITA‐dependent antigen presentation.

The cost of Lyme borreliosis [PDF]
Abstract Background: Lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most frequently reported tick-borne infection in Europe and North America. The aim of this study was to estimate the cost-of-illness of LB in the Netherlands. Methods: We used available incidence estimates from 2010 for tick bite consultations and three symptomatic LB outcomes: erythema ...
