An update on the mosquito fauna and mosquito-borne diseases distribution in Cameroon

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
The expansion of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya in the past 15 years has ignited the need for active surveillance of common and neglected mosquito-borne infectious diseases.

Arthropod-Borne Pathogens in Wild Canids

Veterinary Sciences, 2023
Wild canids, as well as other wild animal species, are largely exposed to bites by ticks and other hematophagous vectors where the features favoring their presence and spread are found in wooded and semi-wooded areas.

Emerging roles of non-coding RNAs in vector-borne infections [PDF]

Journal of Cell Science, 2020
ABSTRACT Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are nucleotide sequences that are known to assume regulatory roles previously thought to be reserved for proteins. Their functions include the regulation of protein activity and localization and the organization of subcellular structures. Sequencing studies have now identified thousands of ncRNAs encoded

Loss of proton‐sensing TDAG8 increases tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the pH‐sensing receptor TDAG8 accelerates colorectal cancer progression in mice. Animals lacking TDAG8 expression had increased tumor growth, DNA damage, and recruitment of tumor‐associated immune cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes.

Initial symptoms and late complication in Lyme neuroborreliosis from the perspective of patients and relatives: a qualitative study

BMC Primary Care
Background Lyme borreliosis is by far the most common vector-borne infection in Western Europe. The most severe manifestation of Lyme borreliosis is Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB).

Rickettsiosis in Denmark: A nation-wide survey

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases, 2023
Rickettsia helvetica has been reported at varying prevalences in Danish and other European Ixodes ricinus populations. Though apparently widespread and with reported cases of human infection, the significance of the bacteria as a threat to public health ...

Asymptotic analysis of a vector-borne disease model with the age of infection [PDF]

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2020
Vector-borne infectious diseases may involve both horizontal transmission between hosts and transmission from infected vectors to susceptible hosts. In this paper, we incorporate these two transmission modes into a vector-borne disease model that includes general nonlinear incidence rates and the age of infection for both hosts and vectors. We show the

Somatostatin receptor 4 (SSTR4) is a tumor suppressor in cutaneous and head & neck squamous cell carcinomas

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study identifies somatostatin receptor 4 (Sstr4) as a critical tumor suppressor against skin and head/neck cancers (HNSCC, cSCC, and BCC). The loss of Sstr4 removes a check on cell growth, causing hyperactivation of the MAPK‐ERK signaling pathway (↑).

Continuous and Dynamic Circulation of West Nile Virus in Mosquito Populations in Bucharest Area, Romania, 2017–2023

Microorganisms
West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne pathogen with a worldwide distribution. Climate change and human activities have driven the expansion of WNV into new territories in Europe during the last two decades.

An epidemiological survey of vector-borne pathogens infecting cattle in Kyrgyzstan

Parasitology International, 2023
Cattle production is a major contributor to the national economy of Kyrgyzstan. Most cattle in Kyrgyzstan are managed via extensive systems and graze in communal pastures. As a result, infestations with ectoparasites are widespread, implying that various vector-borne diseases might be common in cattle.
