From Infection to Anxiety: A Sequential Model Linking Latent Toxoplasmosis to Psychological Distress via Health and Stress

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Identifying the drivers of chronic stress is crucial for understanding its impact on mental health. Latent toxoplasmosis, a widespread parasitic infection, has been linked to various psychological changes. The Stress‐Coping Hypothesis proposes that at least some of these changes are consequences of chronic stress arising from the infection's ...

Seroprevalence of Wenzhou virus in China

Biosafety and Health, 2020
Wenzhou virus (WENV) was first identified in rodents and Asian house shrews in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. However, little is known about the prevalence of WENV infections in humans in China. To determine the threat that WENV may pose to humans, we determine the seroprevalence of WENV in healthy individuals in China in this study.

Pan‐European Fragile Populations Cohort for COVID‐19: What Worked, What Didn't, and Lessons Learned

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic exposed the vulnerability of immunocompromised hosts and the scarcity of evidence guiding their management. Within the European Horizon 2020 ORCHESTRA project, a multinational consortium connected existing and new cohorts to harmonize data, laboratory methods, and clinical expertise across fragile populations. The fragile

Donor–Recipient Epstein–Barr Virus Serostatus and Time‐Varying Risk of Posttransplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder in Kidney Transplant Recipients

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
In a national US kidney transplant cohort, posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder risk varied dynamically by donor–recipient Epstein–Barr virus serostatus. Donor‐positive/recipient‐negative recipients had the highest sustained risk, while donor‐negative/recipient‐negative recipients faced previously under‐recognized early risk, with PTLD strongly ...

HHV‐8/KSHV in Solid Organ Transplantation: Current Gaps of Knowledge and Future Directions

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Risk mitigation strategies, including donors/recipients screening, DNAemia monitoring in recipients at risk, CNI‐to‐mTOR inhibitors switch, antivirals, and rituximab for KICS, may mitigate the impact of HHV‐8/KSHV infection in SOT. This review provides an update on KICS, identifies research gaps, and summarizes advances in screening and management ...
