Assessing the impact of climate change on vector-borne viruses in the EU through the elicitation of expert opinion

, 2010
Expert opinion was elicited to undertake a qualitative risk assessment to estimate the current and future risks to the European Union (EU) from five vector-borne viruses listed by the World Organization for Animal Health.

Neurological Respiratory Failure

Diseases, 2018
West Nile virus infection in humans is mostly asymptomatic. Less than 1% of neuro-invasive cases show a fatality rate of around 10%. Acute flaccid paralysis of respiratory muscles leading to respiratory failure is the most common cause of death. Although

Fish welfare in a changing world: New developments and current challenges

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The welfare of non‐human animals is central to ethical discussions on animal use, with increasing attention to fish welfare across research, aquaria, aquaculture, and fisheries. This paper reviews current theoretical approaches to animal welfare and recent advances in defining and assessing fish welfare since the seminal paper by Huntingford ...

Characterization of East London Culex pipiens s.l. in relation to the risk of transmission to humans of the West Nile virus in Great Britain.

, 2009
PhDConcerns that West Nile Virus (WNV) may arrive in the UK, prompted investigations of Cx. pipiens s.l., as this species complex has been most often implicated in European urban WNV human outbreaks and the rapid spread of the virus across North ...

Lack of detection of West Nile virus in an islander population of chelonians during a West Nile virus outbreak.

, 2016
In 2011, several outbreaks of West Nile disease occurred in Sardinia (Italy). The region hosts several chelonian species. Because of the increasing concern on the potential role that ectotherms may play in the ecology of West Nile virus (WNV), in October

Temperature, Disinfectant Concentration and Bacterial Innate Properties Influence the Disinfection of Bacterial Pathogens Relevant to Catfish Aquaculture

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture systems suffer a wide range of losses, mostly due to bacterial disease outbreaks, and the use of disinfectants is a routine practice for controlling the spread of pathogenic organisms globally. Including Aeromonas hydrophila, Streptococcus agalactiae and Edwardsiella tarda, implicated for natural disease outbreaks and economic ...

Predicting West Nile Virus Infection Risk From the Synergistic Effects of Rainfall and Temperature

, 2016
Mosquito-based surveillance is a practical way to estimate the risk of transmission of West Nile virus (WNV) to people. Variations in temperature and precipitation play a role in driving mosquito infection rates and transmission of WNV, motivating ...

Idiopathic CD4 lymphopenia associated with neuroinvasive West Nile disease: Case report and review of the literature

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2014
Idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia is a very rare condition resulting in an immunodeficiency disorder that may or may not result in opportunistic infections. Since its description in the early 1990s, the reason for this immune deficiency has remained unclear.

Mosquito feeding patterns in the context of West Nile and eastern equine encephalitis viruses in eastern Ontario, Canada

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Mosquitoes in Eastern Ontario, Canada, readily fed on bloodmeal hosts consistent with patterns observed in other regions of North America. Enzootic and bridge vector mosquitoes fed on amplification hosts like American Robins (Turdus migratorius) together with humans, highlighting a potential route for WNV and EEEV transmission to human populations.
