Association Between Chikungunya Infection and Rheumatoid Arthritis in Taiwan—A Cross‐Sectional Study
ABSTRACT Objectives Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection might cause chronic chikungunya arthritis resembling rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential role of this virus in the pathogenesis of RA in Taiwan, a non‐endemic area. Methods This cross‐sectional study enrolled 98 RA patients and 200 healthy controls.

ABSTRACT Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are of major public health importance due to their role as vectors of mosquito‐borne pathogens and the impact of nuisance biting. Accurate geographical knowledge of mosquito fauna is the foundation of effective arbovirus surveillance and biosecurity.

Human IDO2 exhibits unique binding affinities distinct to those of human IDO1
Although indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase 2 (IDO2) is highly homologous to IDO1, it displays markedly lower catalytic activity. We found that IDO2 binds L‐tryptophan (L‐Trp) in a flipped orientation stabilized by the IDO2‐specific residue His143. Replacement of His143 with the IDO1‐equivalent tyrosine restored an IDO1‐like binding mode and increased ...

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.
