Citizens envisioning life in 2040: A qualitative corporate foresight study in London

FUTURES &FORESIGHT SCIENCE, Volume 6, Issue 2, June 2024.
Abstract Urban living is changing. Citizens explore new lifestyles in practice and envision alternative urban futures. Companies, as significant stakeholders in cities, are building urban infrastructure and serving citizens' needs. To succeed in the future, companies must be able to navigate the complexity and diversity of evolving cities.

An endemic hantavirus in field voles in northern England [PDF]

, 2017
We report a PCR survey of hantavirus infection in the extensive field vole (Microtus agrestis) populations occurring in the Kielder Forest, northern England. A Tatenale virus-like lineage was frequently detected (~ 15% prevalence) in liver tissue.

Genomic signatures of climate adaptation in bank voles

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.
We investigated adaptive differences in 12 bank vole populations across Europe in conjunction with geographic climate variation. We used multiple genotype‐environment associations, found that mean annual temperature was a shaping factor, and identified signatures of selection in candidate genes related to lipid metabolism and the immune system.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Go Viral [PDF]

, 2016
Neutrophils are the most numerous immune cells. Their importance as the first line of defense against bacterial and fungal pathogens is well described. In contrast, the role of neutrophils in controlling viral infections is less clear.

Small mammal community composition impacts bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus) population dynamics and associated seroprevalence of Puumala orthohantavirus

Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 52-65, January 2024.
Using network analysis, the aim of this study was to identify the direct and indirect pathways in which pathogen prevalence (here Puumala orthohantavirus [PUUV] in bank voles) can be influenced by the composition of the small mammal community. We show that direct interspecific competition with the main antagonist species group (Apodemus spp.) is the ...

Interferon-stimulated gene (ISG)-expression screening reveals the specific antibunyaviral activity of ISG20 [PDF]

, 2018
Bunyaviruses pose a significant threat to human health, prosperity and food security. In response to viral infections, interferons (IFNs) upregulate the expression of hundreds of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) whose cumulative action can potently ...

Development of a Bioaerosol Sampling Method for Airborne Pathogen Detection with Focus on SARS‐CoV‐2

Indoor Air, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
As worldwide evidence shows that the predominant transmission route of SARS‐CoV‐2 and other respiratory pathogens is airborne, the need for suitable methods for the sampling of bioparticles directly from the air is more urgent than ever. The present paper describes the development of a method for the collection of biological aerosols, using a ...

Determination of Procalcitonin Levels in Patients with Nephropathia Epidemica - A Useful Tool or an Unnecessary Diagnostic Procedure?

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2015
Background/Aims: Puumala virus causes nephropathia epidemica (NE), a milder form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome that occurs in Central and Northern Europe. Several studies have sought to identify risk factors for severe NE.

Disease burden of Puumala virus infections, 1995–2008

Epidemiology and Infection, 2010
SUMMARYPuumala virus (PUUV) causes mild haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, a rodent-borne zoonosis. To evaluate the disease burden of PUUV infections in Finland, we analysed data reported by laboratories to the National Infectious Disease Registry during 1995–2008 and compared these with data from other national registries (death, 1998–2007 ...
