The inoculum dose of Zika virus can affect the viral replication dynamics, cytokine responses and survival rate in immunocompromised AG129 mice

Molecular Biomedicine
Zika virus, a mosquito-borne arbovirus, has repeatedly caused large pandemics with symptoms worsening from mild and self-limiting diseases to Guillain–Barré syndrome in adults and fetal microcephaly in newborns.

A neonatal nonhuman primate model of gestational Zika virus infection with evidence of microencephaly, seizures and cardiomyopathy.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Zika virus infection during pregnancy is associated with miscarriage and with a broad spectrum of fetal and neonatal developmental abnormalities collectively known as congenital Zika syndrome (CZS). Symptomology of CZS includes malformations of the brain

Tick‐Borne Encephalitis (TBE) Vaccine in the National Immunisation Programme—For Whom, When and Where?

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The incidence of Tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE) cases has increased. The presumed location of transmission of Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) has been expanding increasingly in the western parts of Europe during the past decade. There has also been an increased incidence of surveillance‐reported TBE cases in southern Sweden and southern ...

A new reportable disease is born: Taiwan Centers for Disease Control's response to emerging Zika virus infection

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2016
Zika virus infection, usually a mild disease transmitted through the bite of Aedes mosquitos, has been reported to be possibly associated with microcephaly and neurologic complications.

Frayed Rope and Resilient Threads: Fijian Healthcare and the COVID‐19 Pandemic

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In April 2021, Fiji faced international scrutiny due to ‘horrific’ hospital conditions, including staff and patients lacking food, non‐operational operating theatres, and critical shortages of beds, medicine, and equipment. After successfully avoiding a major outbreak in 2020, a sudden surge in COVID‐19 cases in 2021 overwhelmed the public ...

The cerebral palsy directed acyclic graph: A structural causal model of aetiology

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
The first international cerebral palsy directed acyclic graph (CP‐DAG) maps over 100 nodes and 370 links across biological, clinical, and social domains, offering a unified causal framework to guide research and identify knowledge gaps. Abstract Aim To describe the development of the initial version of the cerebral palsy (CP) directed acyclic graph ...

Transcriptional responses of Aedes aegypti chemosensory tissues in response to volatile DEET and citronella oil

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Aedes aegypti females were significantly repelled by both volatile DEET and citronella oil in comparison to control (ethanol‐exposed) mosquitoes. Global gene expression changes were largest in the mosquito mouthparts, with notable downregulation of the three subunits comprising the mosquito CO2 receptor (Gr1, 2 and 3).

Antibodies Elicited by an NS1-Based Vaccine Protect Mice against Zika Virus

mBio, 2019
Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus which can cause severe disease in humans, including microcephaly and other congenital malformations in newborns and Guillain-Barré syndrome in adults. There are currently no approved prophylactics or therapeutics

Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

Turnip mosaic virus utilizes the lipid droplet biogenesis machinery to facilitate its propagation in plants

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Potyvirus turnip mosaic virus induces neutral lipid accumulation and lipid droplet biogenesis in infected leaves for its own benefit. Summary Lipid droplets (LDs), which are dedicated to storing neutral lipids (NLs), are dynamic organelles involved in numerous other functions, including membrane remodeling during abiotic stress.
