Sufficient reproduction numbers to prevent recurrent epidemics

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1186-1200, June 2025.
Abstract Current practice in the design and evaluation of control measures in disease ecology and epidemiology, including vaccination, is largely based on reproduction numbers (RNs), which represent prognostic indices of long‐term disease transmission, both in naïve populations (basic RN) and in the presence of prior exposure or infection containment ...

Serpins in the Spotlight: Novel Bioinformatic Insights Into Hyalomma dromedarii Sialotranscriptome

Biochemistry Research International, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Ticks pose a significant global threat to human and animal health as vectors of numerous pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Beyond their harmful impact, tick salivary glands contain serine protease inhibitors (serpins) known for their potential pharmaceutical properties.

Spatiotemporal Distribution and Meteorological Determinants of Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) Occurrence in Bangladesh From 2020 to 2023

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a transboundary viral disease affecting cattle and buffaloes caused by LSD virus (LSDV), which belongs to the Capripoxvirus genus. The disease was first detected in Bangladesh in 2019 and has since become endemic. This study focuses on analyzing the spatiotemporal distribution of LSD cases and examining the relationships ...

The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2338-2375, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...
