Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Effects of Vector Density on Blood Parasite Spread and Health Consequences for Avian Hosts: An Experimental Epidemiology Blueprint

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In an experimental epidemiology setup, groups of pigeons were exposed to different numbers of infective malaria vectors. Vector number explained the speed of transmission, the final prevalence, and changes in host behavior. ABSTRACT Vector density plays a critical role in the transmission dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and thus in their health and ...

Unraveling Occurrence Patterns and Diversity of Avian Malaria Parasites in Iberian Obligate and Facultative Scavenger Birds

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Low overall haemosporidian occurrence (3.4%; 13/383). Unexpected high lineage diversity (10 new host–parasite interactions). Novel Leucocytozoon lineage (GYPBAR01) in all European vultures except the griffon vulture. Plasmodium relictum (lineage SGS1) in adult red kites.

Responsible Accountability? Multi‐Stakeholder Partnerships, Sustainable Development and Global Health

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, multi‐stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) have received renewed political attention. In several policy fields, MSPs have been criticized for a lack of accountability, resulting in efforts to redress this problem.

Theorizing causality: A qualitative study of xylazine‐related wound diversity and perceived etiology among people who inject drugs

open access: yesAddiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Incidence and severity of opioid‐associated skin and soft‐tissue infections, often requiring intensive and costly medical care, have increased substantially since the emergence of xylazine in the US drug supply. Although progress has been made in clinical and harm reduction recommendations for treating xylazine‐related ...

Assessment of the transmission of live-attenuated chikungunya virus vaccine VLA1553 by Aedes albopictus mosquitoes

open access: yesParasites & Vectors
Background Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted, arthritogenic alphavirus that causes sporadic outbreaks of often debilitating rheumatic disease.
