Harnessing controlled human infection models to accelerate vaccine development for neglected tropical diseases: Lessons from leishmaniasis

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 1, January 2026.
Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIMs) offer a powerful approach to accelerate vaccine development for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). This review highlights scientific and translational advances enabled by CHIMs, with a focus on a novel Leishmania major model.

Histopathologic observations in a coccidiosis model of Eimeria tenella

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine
Background Species of the genus Eimeria cause coccidiosis in chickens, resulting in a huge burden to the poultry industry worldwide. Eimeria tenella is one of the most prevalent chicken coccidia in China, and E.

Sympathetic Prions

The Scientific World Journal, 2001
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are a group of invariably fatal neurodegenerative diseases. The infectious agent is termed prion and is thought to be composed of a modified protein (PrPSc or PrPRES), a protease-resistant conformer of the normal

Stochastic Modelling Approach to the Incubation Time of Prionic Diseases

, 2003
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies like the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans are neurodegenerative diseases for which prions are the attributed pathogenic agents.

Prion remains infectious after passage through digestive system of American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos).

PLoS ONE, 2012
Avian scavengers, such as American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos), have potential to translocate infectious agents (prions) of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) diseases including chronic wasting disease, scrapie, and bovine spongiform ...
