Recent Advances in Humoral Immunity Dysregulation in Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Virus (SFTSV) Infection: A Systematic Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
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.

Animal models of Rift Valley fever virus infection

Virus Research, 2012
Emerging and naturally occurring infectious diseases from bacterial and viral sources are constantly threatening humans and livestock. Recently, a variety of infectious diseases have emerged into previously disease-free areas, resulting in new epidemics. Consequently, governmental agencies and researchers in the area of biomedical research have started

Mapping the Habitat Suitability of Culex pipiens in Europe Using Ensemble Bioclimatic Modelling

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.
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 ...
