Abstract Aim To estimate the weighted prevalence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) antibodies and risk factors among pregnant women in Burkina Faso and to evaluate the efficiency of dried blood spots (DBS) in detecting HEV antibodies. Methods We first evaluated the efficiency of DBS detecting HEV antibodies by comparing 62 DBS with matched serum samples using

Anti‐mosquito salivary gland antibodies were detected in the sera of macaques (Macaca arctoides, M. leonina and M. fascicularis) from Kaeng Krachan, Khao Yai and Mu Ko Ranong National Parks, respectively. For M. leonina and M. fascicularis, the highest titres were against Ae. aegypti while Ae. albopictus antibody titres were observed in M.

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 ...
