Organoid Models to Study Human Infectious Diseases
Our manuscript reviews the role of organoids as models for studying human infectious diseases, highlighting their irreplaceable contributions to drug testing and vaccine development for significant infectious diseases including HIV, ZIKV, SARS‐CoV‐2 and MPXV.

Detection of Monkeypox Disease from Human Skin Images with a Hybrid Deep Learning Model
Monkeypox, a virus transmitted from animals to humans, is a DNA virus with two distinct genetic lineages in central and eastern Africa. In addition to zootonic transmission through direct contact with the body fluids and blood of infected animals ...

Treatment and prevention of monkeypox
Monkeypox is a zoonosis that is spread mainly through direct contact with fluids and skin lesions of infected people with vesicles still active. Although the virus was isolated for the first time in 1958 and the first human case was identified in a child in 1970, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the disease has progressively increased its ...

Epithelial Immunization Induces Polyfunctional CD8+ T Cells and Optimal Mousepox Protection. [PDF]
We assessed several routes of immunization with vaccinia virus (VACV) in protecting mice against ectromelia virus (ECTV). By a wide margin, skin scarification provided the greatest protection. Humoral immunity and resident-memory T cells notwithstanding,

Summary The immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory treatment of dermatological patients necessitates the regular review and updating of standard vaccinations and vaccines indicated for specific conditions. The German Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO) at the Robert Koch Institute regularly publishes evidence‐based vaccination recommendations ...

Immunization with a single extracellular enveloped virus protein produced in bacteria provides partial protection from a lethal orthopoxvirus infection in a natural host [PDF]
Subunit vaccines that use the vaccinia virus extracellular envelope protein A33R alone or combined with other structural proteins are excellent candidates for a new smallpox vaccine.

A guide to heat shock factors as multifunctional transcriptional regulators
The heat shock factors (HSFs) are evolutionarily conserved transcription factors best known as regulators of molecular chaperone genes in response to heat shock and other protein‐damaging stresses. Vertebrate HSFs, HSF1‐5, HSFX, and HSFY, are implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including organismal development and cancer ...

Monkeypox: epidemiology, pathogenesis, treatment and prevention
Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease that was once endemic in west and central Africa caused by monkeypox virus. However, cases recently have been confirmed in many nonendemic countries outside of Africa.

Diagnostic electron microscopy in human infectious diseases – Methods and applications
Abstract Diagnostic electron microscopy (EM) is indispensable in all cases of infectious diseases which deserve or profit from the detection of the entire pathogen (i.e. the infectious unit). The focus of its application has shifted during the last decades from routine diagnostics to diagnostics of special cases, emergencies and the investigation of ...
