A protective bivalent vaccine against Rift Valley fever and bluetongue
Rift Valley fever (RVF) and bluetongue (BT) are two important ruminant diseases transmitted by arthropods. Both viruses have shown important geographic spread leading to endemicity of BT virus (BTV) in Africa and Europe.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) infection causes profound dysregulation of humoral immunity, leading to immunopathology and impaired viral clearance. However, the mechanisms underlying B cell dysfunction and inadequate antibody responses remain poorly defined.

Mapping the Habitat Suitability of Culex pipiens in Europe Using Ensemble Bioclimatic Modelling
ABSTRACT Aim Anthropogenic pressure on natural ecosystems has profoundly influenced the dynamics of disease vectors, altering their distribution, phenology, and increasing the risk of vector‐borne diseases. This study aims to investigate the climatic and environmental determinants of Culex pipiens distribution in continental Europe, to inform and ...

Mapping the Demand, Development, and Delivery of Climate Services in the Greater Horn of Africa
The fragmented and hasty development and delivery of climate services across the Greater Horn of Africa since 2009, largely detached from actual demand, has significant implications for their usability and sustainability. ABSTRACT Numerous research and development projects seek to improve climate services in the Greater Horn of Africa (GHA).

Silent Circulation of Rift Valley Fever in Humans, Botswana, 2013–2014
We evaluated the prevalence of Rift Valley fever virus IgG and IgM in human serum samples (n = 1,276) collected in 2013–2014 in northern Botswana. Our findings provide evidence of active circulation of this virus in humans in the absence of clinical ...
