Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Mosquito Vectors of West Nile Fever in Israel [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2008
West Nile fever (WNF) is endemic in Israel. In 1999, country-wide adult mosquito surveys were initiated and intensified after the 2000 country-wide outbreak of WNF in humans. In 8 consecutive yr, groups of male and female specimens of different species and from different locations were tested for infection with West Nile virus (WNV). Three species made

Substance P and NK‐1R in Dengue: A First Serological Investigation

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Dengue fever lacks reliable biomarkers to explain its complex pathophysiology. Substance P (SP) and its receptor, the Neurokinin‐1 receptor (NK1R), known regulators of inflammation and vascular permeability in viral infections, may play a role in dengue but remain unexplored. Aim/Objective To investigate the levels of SP and NK1R in

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page e478-e490, August 2026.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...
