Seroprevalence and Placental Transfer of Zika and Dengue Virus Antibodies in Postpartum Women in Southeast Brazil

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Zika (ZIKV) and dengue (DENV) viruses are major public health concerns in Brazil. Understanding population serological status, particularly in pregnant women, is vital for estimating their spread. This study assessed ZIKV and DENV seroprevalence in pregnant women and the transplacental transfer of antibodies to their newborns, crucial for ...

Estimands in Real-World Evidence Studies [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
A Real-World Evidence (RWE) Scientific Working Group (SWG) of the American Statistical Association Biopharmaceutical Section (ASA BIOP) has been reviewing statistical considerations for the generation of RWE to support regulatory decision-making. As part of the effort, the working group is addressing estimands in RWE studies.

Serological Evidence of Cetacean Morbillivirus Infection in Common Bottlenose Dolphins in Japan

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page 307-312, May 2025.
ABSTRACT This study revealed that 41.9% of wild‐born Japanese captive dolphins (18 out of 43 dolphins) have neutralizing antibodies specific to cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV). This finding indicates a widespread yet undetected CeMV infection among wild dolphins in the waters around Japan, occurring without notable epidemic or mass mortality of dolphins.

Investigation of the Blood Microbiome in Horses With Fever of Unknown Origin

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Fever of unknown origin (FUO) without a respiratory component is a frequent clinical presentation in horses. Multiple pathogens, both tick‐borne and enteric, can be involved as etiologic agents. An additional potential mechanism is intestinal barrier dysfunction.

Statistical Analysis in Genetic Studies of Mental Illnesses [PDF]

Statistical Science 2011, Vol. 26, No. 1, 116-129, 2011
Identifying the risk factors for mental illnesses is of significant public health importance. Diagnosis, stigma associated with mental illnesses, comorbidity, and complex etiologies, among others, make it very challenging to study mental disorders. Genetic studies of mental illnesses date back at least a century ago, beginning with descriptive studies ...

Establishment of a Novel Caco‐2‐Based Cell Culture System for Human Sapovirus Propagation

Genes to Cells, Volume 30, Issue 2, March 2025.
We identified that both Caco‐2 cells and in‐house Caco‐2/Cas9 cells are susceptible to human sapovirus (HuSaV) infection. By performing two rounds of single‐cell cloning from Caco‐2/Cas9 cells, we successfully established a highly susceptible cell line, designated as Caco‐2MC.
