Governance of Long‐Term Scientific Infrastructure: Public Value Does Not Protect Itself

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Long‐term scientific infrastructure, including physical archives, monitoring networks, and place‐based research facilities, is frequently described as important but is rarely protected by enforceable governance. When administrative reorganization or budget pressure threatens such infrastructure, the scientific community typically responds with

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 ...

Twenty years of West Nile virus spread and evolution in the Americas visualized by Nextstrain.

PLoS Pathogens, 2019
It has been 20 years since West Nile virus first emerged in the Americas, and since then, little progress has been made to control outbreaks caused by this virus.

Phylogenetic Analysis of West Nile Virus Isolates, Italy, 2008–2009

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
To determine the lineage of West Nile virus that caused outbreaks in Italy in 2008 and 2009, several West Nile virus strains were isolated from human specimens and sequenced.

Mitogenomics of Culex pipiens Form Pipiens From the Turkish Black Sea Region Reveals Structural Conservation and Phylogenetic Complexity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Complete mitochondrial genomes of five Turkish Culex pipiens form pipiens isolates from the Black Sea region revealed highly conserved mitogenome architecture. Expanded comparisons across the broader Cx. pipiens complex showed that mitochondrial diversity was concentrated in selected loci and terminal regions associated with the A + T‐rich control ...

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

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

A Snapshot of the UK Blood Donor Plasma Virome: A Retrospective Cross‐Sectional Cohort Study

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Estimates of population prevalence and genetic diversity of bloodborne viruses in healthy humans are essential to support population‐scale monitoring for transfusion transmission risk. In the UK and globally, blood donations are routinely screened for a limited number of high‐consequence pathogens, but the full composition of the plasma virome

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.
